With the prospect of more domestic drones looming closer and closer, Mayor Bloomberg seems to know that it’s wrong and invasive, judging from this radio interview, but there’s also nothing he (or we) can really do about it. While Bloomberg, for one, doesn’t welcome our new drone overlords, his philosophy seems rather fatalistic: Like it […]
Since 2011, when we heard about Selena Good-Girl-Tee-Hee-Hee Gomez watching all Harmony Korine’s movies at his house in Nashville and saw James Franco practicing his gangsta cred in some parking lot, we’ve been waiting for this Spring Breakers thing to pop.

The above video starts with promise: a woman’s naked body sits in the center of the frame, appearing to slowly morph (NSFW, dummy).

Condoms these days just aren’t doing it for Bill Gates. But DAMMIT, he can’t deny their importance in effective contraception and sexual health… That’s why the Microsoft billionaire is determined to create a newer, more convenient, and most importantly, sexier way to wrap it up — and if that means paying someone $100,000.00 to make […]
