Japan’s Girlfriend Coat Is Real, But You’ll Still Be Forever Alone

We all need somebody to love. like a mechanically augmented garment.

We embraced with a kiss. “Oh baby, I love you so much.” I said. “I love you, too,” she replied. Two weeks later, she dumped me from the comfort of her parents’ home 1500 miles away. Ever since, I’ve tried to replicate the intimacy of a knowing, loving soul mate and girlfriend.

Uh, so wow.

Well, so this happened. In a dispute with fellow editor Tim Turi, Game Informer’s Dan Ryckert decided to take their fight to the public.

Now That Roger Ebert Is Gone, Let’s Talk About People Being Inappropriate

You’re guilty of being an asshole!

Listen, I know that, from time to time, everyone has little lapses in judgment which lead to them looking like a raging asshole in front of everyone. It can’t be avoided. Just the other day, for example, I listened to a woman in the store talk about the really good sex she’d had with her boyfriend the night before, while a five or six-year old little girl listened on.

Faux pas, much?

Tax Day Blues? Be Thankful You’re Not Facebook’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg

Oh sure, he’s smiling now.

If you’re like me, you’ve already paid your taxes and the refund check has already made you cheer/amount due made you jeer. Honestly, most of us just have a W-2 and you can spend half an hour with a copy of TaxCut and be done. If you’re not like me, that means you’re probably rich and in the case of Mark Zuckerberg, you’ve probably got a team working for you. Why? Because the IRS is going to ask him for a billion dollars. Literally.

Walmart Wants Customers To Deliver Other Customers’ Online Orders

Brought to you by,uh, other people.

The Walmart braintrust in Bentonville, Arkansas is at it again, this time with a real doozy of a measure.
