In this edition of "we all know sex sells but why are these products so darn creepy?" we will be looking at the Glowfur's line of glowing fur swim suits, short skits and faux-glowing fur jackets.
The company, which touts its "creative approach of matching just the right kind of faux fur with special internal lighting technology," has been the talk of geektown this week and while I know bright things can be mesmerizing, I ask you to not get sucked in.

The April cover of Wired Magazine will feature a package of stories about radical transparency, their notion that the next model of business success is laying your company bare to the world—sharing secrets with your rivals, blogging about ideas as you have them, and copping to fumbles and foibles as you make them. Even more transparent, I fear, is the magazine's cover, which features the fabulously funny and smart Jenna Fischer, who plays Pam on The Office. No there won't be any foil wrapping, but Fischer will appear clothed in the top cover and "naked" on a second cover underneath.

Now that women are just as obsessed with the latest gadgets as their counterparts, is it really necessary to have Playboy model look-alikes drooling over products in ad campaigns?
With the iPhone's release quickly approaching, it will be interesting to see what marketing schemes are used to increase its visibility so to speak. We've already seen the official Apple iPhone commercial but will we be seeing any images like this one I created (yes, that's right people it's FAKE) in magazines such as Stuff and FHM?

In a sea of words, a title like "Make Your Boobs Jealous!" really jumps out at you — something I can attest to after coming across these new ads for Reebok EasyTone.
If these shoes do what Reebok claims, the shoes themselves seem pretty neat — balance pods create natural instability in your step, which forces muscles to adapt and encourages toning in the butt, legs, and thighs.

"Compensated dating" is a growing and frightening trend among Hong Kong's teenage girls. The term refers to the practice of requiring a man to pay a fee for a date that more often than not includes sex. Shockingly, many teenage girls engaged in "compensated dating" are not selling themselves just to get by — they're reportedly doing it for extra shopping money.

This week's 90210 and Melrose Place combo don't have a ton of shocking moments, but it's obvious both shows are gearing up for major stuff to go down. (Like a drug bust, murder arrest, and Heather Locklear, for instance?!) We do, however, get some nice moments between the characters. Teddy, for one, is acting like an angel — although I can't tell if it's sincere, because I've made it a rule not to trust a guy who ties sweaters over his shoulders.

Craigslist is like a brothel, only safer. Yesterday, Slate gave a rundown of how the online classified site's recent decision to close down its erotic services section hurts both prostitutes and police.
Here are some key arguments in favor of facilitating the sale of sex online:

Times are tough, and people are having to pinch pennies because of our shattering economy; some are even choosing to sell their personal possessions to help pay the bills. In extreme situations, though, people are resorting to selling products from their bodies, including blood plasma, hair, eggs, and sperm — apparently it's a way to make quick cash. A shot of sperm can earn a guy $60 to $100, and for fertile eggs, a woman can make up to $7,000 per egg!
