Filters, Search and Sexual Discrimination: New Yahoo! Product Says No Gays, But Lesbians Okay

22 November 2010
I was astonished when ZDNet colleague and SEO expert Stephen Chapman sent me a tip about Yahoo!'s new product, Clues, with the message that it seemed to be filtering out certain terms. In a few minutes of entering terms, I saw something very upsetting. Clues was supposed to be like […]

Erotica Vs. Street Art in London: Suelan Photography

21 November 2010
This would have been the show to see in London -- I'm very irritated that I missed the chance to tell you about it in October, because photographer Suelan is really amazing. I found her on a random Flickr erotica hunt, the combination of eros, photos and street art drew […]

TSA = No. NMA = Yes.

20 November 2010
I, for one, bow to our HItachi-wielding overlords. I read today that Congress and various administration get to skip security when they fly commercial at the airport -- the same rat bastards who pass the TSA scanner and pat down laws. Inmates running the asylum, indeed. I want safety as much […]

Lush, opulent, eerie -- sexy: that's how I'm going to describe Los Angeles based Logan White's stunning erotic photography. If her gorgeous, dreamy images don't turn your head... Then do take a minute to appreciate that this is a one-woman enterprise, and I've been talking to a friend of hers, […]

Wednesday Nibbles: Sex and the TSA, Porn in a Cup

17 November 2010
* TSA, TSA, TSA. What a big fucking disaster. Just when we think it's really bad, it somehow gets worse. A few days ago I posted Two Tales of TSA Sexual Assault on Techyum, where two individual sane and travel-savvy women blogged about getting the new pat-down and walked away […]

Jezebel’s “Creepy and Porno-Like” Is Actually My Hot [Suit Supply Ads]

16 November 2010
I was sent the post The Cool Factor and The Display of Disinterest (thanks Praemedia), and instantly found the fetishy, modern, dominance/submission themed fashion porn from Suit Supply's new ad campaign really hot. Then I clicked through to Jezebel's post about the ad campaign two weeks ago (hey, I've been […]

Puppet Master: Ghost in The Shell Brought to Life

15 November 2010
Astounding, exciting, beautiful! I am jealous. A friend emailed me links to some serious sex and robotics hackery when two coworkers decided to hardware hack together a Puppet Master computer, a la Ghost in the Shell -- this one in a female gynoid shell. Rather, a very busty female […]

A Salute to Femen: Topless Womens’ Rights Ukranian Civil Disobedience

12 November 2010
I just discovered Ukranian civil disobedience organization FEMEN, even though they have been active for several years. They're a controversial group of women dedicated to raising awareness about women's issues and a variety of political problems that the everyday urban Ukranian faces. Their actions are sexed-up and topless, and as […]

Really Strange Sex Toy Items: News Roundup

11 November 2010
Sex toys just generally lend themselves to being the center of wacky news items by their very nature. Throw in the fact that I linger over the news items and obsessively search reporting to find details (often scattered across online newspapers like a tornado-trailer park convergence), and then dutifully present […]
