Don’t Buy: Legally Blonde Bridget pt. 3

Remember Bridget Jones’s Diary? It was about some 30-something chubster approaching life as a teenager. Trying to figure out boys by writing in her diary.
Oh good, so you do. Well remember the sequel? Where she carries on with her adolescent behavior but somehow ends up in a Thai prison, but becomes a hero because she [...]

Buy: iPhone Ads

Imagine walking down the street with your cool iPhone because you are already cool for having one, and bam! right there you realize that ad by the bus stop wants to play with you? What do you do? Do you coyly start pinching and swiping your fingers to manipulate/tickle it? Or shyly wait and watch [...]

Buy: The Number 2

Why you may be asking yourself is the number 2 a buy?
Well, the the best of things is going on right now!! E3 2009: part deux.
E3 is one of the things I look forward to every year (also see Halloween). E3 gives teasers, trailers, and specs for the upcoming games (also see Halloween). Including release [...]

Don’t Buy: Graduating

So, apologies for the lack of posts. Half of us graduated/moved this week, which gives us a good excuse. The rest of them, I have no idea what they’re up to.

Don’t Buy: American Apparel’s Pregnant Promos

American Apparel in semi-recent months (aka the past 2 years) has become popular. Thier overpriced basically plain cotton and spandex clothing have been dubbed “hipster”, therefore making them cool and desirable.
So with that classification, why this:

Ekk. So cool = pregnancy? Since when does tight clothes help with pregnancy. I don’t want to see it. These [...]

Buy: Aziz Ansari’s ‘Randy’

Aziz Ansari is a comedic actor. You know him from “Human Giant” and “Parks and Recreation.” But like many comic actors, he also does stand-up comedy. His stand-up comedy is funny, as proven by this clip right here:

In the new Judd Apatow film Funny People, Ansari apparently plays ‘Randy,’ a Dane Cook-style terrible comedian who [...]

Don’t Buy: Teabagging

Another day another bailout. The banks, mortgage companies, Detroit (all of it?), and now the MTA.
“Teabaggers,” (people that seem to be pretty well off) are complaining that they don’t want to be taxed anymore then they already are! If you ask me that takes some balls. Also, forcing your kids to protest with you holding [...]

Don’t Buy: Weather Betrayal

This weekend, the weather in New York was perfect. High-60s, low-70s, sunny, not too windy. If I had to sum it up in picture form, it would be like this:

Look at how happy that softball pitcher is!
On the east coast, we routinely get teased by wonderful weather in March and April. One day it’s sunny, [...]

Don’t Buy: Parks and Recreation

BODB, being cutting edge as usual, posted a Buy about Parks and Recreation before it was even titled. I have to disagree.
Tonight, I watched an episode of this Amy Poehler-starring, Office writer-written show. And I was unimpressed. Poehler’s character of Lindsey was practically Michael Scott in a skirt. She leads a team of unenthused workers [...]

Buy: AplusK = Twitter caché

Apparently Ashton Kutcher (@aplusk) has been doing the Twitter thing for a while now.  I must admit, I was previously influenced by my interpretation of his personal brand as America’s Zany Prankster Bro, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the topics he Tweets about! He’s a big proponent of Social Media, and has actually been doing some fun [...]
