I was wondering how we got on Van Jones all of a sudden, then a Google search told me everything. All I googled was just "Van Jones" and this article from Fox News (I'm scoffing as well) told me everything I need to know. The man who exposed Van Jones is a right-wing advocate named Phil Kerpen . Surprisingly, Kerpen's brother, Dave, appeared on the "not so right-wing" Fox reality...

Reality television hit a new low this week. I’m not referring to Big Brother where its dismal ratings seem to be coinciding with the predicted victory of a housemate aptly named Halfwit. No, to view the ultimate in questionable taste you need to travel to Istanbul where they’ve just announced the latest Turkish take on celebrity gameshows. Forget Strictly Come Dancing or Dancing on Ice,...

Nice Hotel! Clean, friendly, comfortable, beautiful views. I wouldn't recommend staying in the Haeundae beach area during the off season. Not much going on there. Stay by Gwankalli Beach.

Am in the living room on my computer while my sister is watching Paradise Hotel. Actual conversation held in that show: Guy: So, who's your favorite superheroine? Girl: I don't like those, because I think it's so unrealistic when a girl beats up a big, strong guy. Me; FUCK YOU, BAD WOMAN! *shows TV both fingers. Me and sister: *indignantly starts reciting the name of every superheroine we know*
