Takedown: The Obama Games →
Not just good - really good.
persephonemag:
Be ready. This week’s takedown is allllmost unbelievable in its stupidity. Almost. It is so absurd that nobody can honestly be taking it seriously. Right? Right? Tell me that nobody can be taking this seriously.

7 Songs People Should Never Strip To →
Sample of the article, the image of which I now can’t get out of my head:
