Neckties Are So Hot Right Now

"Check out any art gallery, advertising agency or downtown bar where the cool kids hang" and you'll find neckties, claims David Colman in the Times today. It's true, we have noticed kids wearing ties a little more lately—maybe it has to do with that band "The White Strokes" or whatever they are called that the hip cats are listening to! Also we are apparently given to understand from the Times' photographic evidence that the neckties help you convince people to let you put your digits into their orifices.

"Inster" Post-Hipster Fashion "Trend" Makes Us Miss Hipsters

We shop at the Gap and splurge at Banana Republic [Ed. Note: Umm, speak for yourself, straight man], so we are the last people in the world to judge anyone else's fashion choices. But whatever this new "inster" trend is, we are not having it.

Kate and Owen's Unborn Child is Manufactured by Hasbro

We'll be the first to concede that the whole "if they mated" joke has gotten less interesting as technology has advanced -- those CSI-style mockups of what celeb couples' putative offspring will look like in Star has sort of killed the funny. But an extra-alert (or actually, maybe extra-high) tipster sends in an image that, to his/her mind, represents what will happen if sunny Goldie Hawn offspring Kate Hudson and goofy-nosed Wilson brother breed, and since a proposal may be in the offing -- Page Six reports that Wilson totally went to a jewelry store, so obvs they are pretty much already engaged -- we thought we'd share it with you. After the jump. more »

Great Moments in Photojournalism: Watch Out, Alice!!

Okay, to be fair, maybe we're expecting too much from a student newspaper. That's the in-house organ for SUNY Binghamton. Called the Pipe Dream. But come on, Staff Photographer Jacqui Levin! What kind of menacing phone caller wears black opera gloves just to dial? A really, really menacing one, we guess. "International awards" may not be "out of BU's league" in some realms, but we're going to go out on a limb here and guess that journalism ain't one of them. more »

Welcome To The Working Week

The weirdness that is the Internet continues to offer up its bounty. To wit, the image above, part of a "small, sixteen-page pamphlet [that] is produced to put inside the postage-paid, business-reply envelopes that come with junk mail offers. Every envelope collected is stuffed with the pamphlet and mailed back to its original company." To see the rest, follow the link below and then click on "Business Reply Pamphlet." WARNING: Those of you who've been pissing and moaning about how our new giant headlines make Gawker unsafe for work may want to look around before clicking through. (Related: You're kind of all pussies.) more »
