How do we feel about Tyrese tweeting us?
AWESOME!
We are actually ecstatic about it. Let me be the first to say that TSC is comprised of some very talented writers. They’re passion knows no bounds, and it is astounding how far they have taken this blog. Aside from writing quality posts, they end up dropping quotes on newspaper articles, continue the conversation in the comments, and they take the time to interview high profile movers and shakers in their respective fields. Speaking of interviews, what you see above is a screen grab of Tyrese Gibson retweeting Petite’s latest interview with Reggie Berry and Jackiem Wright. A big salute to Petite on that one.
It took me a minute to fathom the fact that some of our hits were coming in from Tyrese’s twitter account. For the sake of brevity, we’re talking about Tyrese: Baby Boy Tyrese, Waist Deep Tyrese, 2 Fast 2 Furious Tyrese, Transformers Tyrese, and finally, “Sweet Lady” Tyrese. I think he just upped this blog’s awesome factor to an exponent of 3. While we’re on the subject of awesome, if anyone’s been to Tyrese’s twitter account, his icon is literally FTW, which I have conveniently placed to the left of this paragraph. It’s him getting all types of intimate with a tenderoni. If you’re in between the sheets with Tyrese, you are automatically a tenderoni. No questions asked. You’re not even allowed to protest the label.
I’m gonna start listening to “What’chu Like” now.

Sail on Silverman-girl
WORDS BY J.CLAIBORNE BOWDON
Look at the picture at the top of this post. Seriously, just her face. Now factor in the situation. Look at that vaguely interested, wan-model, expression: lips ever-so slightly parted, eyes glancing (not focused) at the task at hand. You could cut and paste that head onto the body of a girl in a little black dress, fixing the back-strap on her stiletto as her chihuahua looks on, and it would be an exquisite encapsulation of a contrived, off-handed moment. It’s Manolo Blahnik ad ready, but she’s not cutely reconfiguring herself. She’s taking a shit.
It’s been said that examining comedy is like dissecting a live frog. It dies, painfully and miserably, in the midst of and for the sake of the act, and if the preceding elucidation left you thinking, “Yeah, thanks, way ahead of you, not my first metaphor jackass,” then you’re probably inclined to embrace that statement, and sorry about the frog. I do agree that most comedy is “res ipsa loquitur,” but this isn’t really an examination of comedy. This is an examination and praise of technique, and when it comes to technique Sarah Silverman is second-to-none.
Come on Son: A Stimulant, For Your Package
WORDS BY PETITE ANGLAISE
:\
As someone who grapples with literature daily, I comprehend the need to be visually stimulated…by any means necessary. What better way to achieve this necessity then with a good smut film, aka PORN. But sadly porn has become more and more of a nuisance. Featuring “actors” that are barely attractive, cursed with chipmunk voices, and awkward dialogues, visual pornography has become anything but a turn on. Not to be branded “a women out to outlaw porn,” this article is merely to educate on the positive attributes reading about fornication has over watching it. While most individuals are turned on by viewing sexual actions performed by others, the visual stimulant brought on by Redtube, Megarotic, or any of the other countless means of adult material doesn’t always satisfy. WHY? Because you may be a brain (no pun indented.) Like most brains, you can’t be easily satisfied by mediocre plot lines and sloppy penetration. Instead, a one on one, step by step manual on positions, movement, and skill level dictates whether you explode. For example, take a 3 to 4 minute video featuring KristinaRosexxx. The time it takes for her to start her monologue, undress, and turn her self on, you’ve already started looking for your next video. Now take an excerpt from a hardback (no pun intended.)
“I need you,” she insisted recklessly sliding out her mini skirt and baby tee, 6inch heels still on.
She moved closer to him, gliding her hand over his bulge, manipulating it’s ever growing size as she breathed harder.
“Now,” she moaned, hair flung back, finally ready to take him in.
129 Pictures of Jesus Loving Stuff
I wish I could make this stuff up. I mean, I wish I was the actual person who invented this meme because it’s too good. It’s Jesus doing what he does best: loving stuff. From chicken, to toxic barrels, to happy meals, to care bears, Jesus loves it all.
Super Bowl Commercials: Art or Corporate Shilling?
WORDS BY ISH ZENDEJAS
Got something that you want to sell? Got an idea that can be told in 30 seconds or less? An extra couple million lying around? Then the Super Bowl is the place for you! Whether you are shilling out Coco flavored fizzy water, or you are trying to tell women what to do with their bodies, if you want to sell your product, you do it at the Super Bowl.
I’ve never really been personally invested in the game itself (I enjoy the Chargers as a team but I am not a die hard fan of them) but as a pop culture aficionado I enjoy watching the commercials. I love how advertisements really just meant to make twenty and thirty-something’s buy things have turned into a major media event and an artistic art form. Ever since Ridley Scott’s infamous 1984 Apple television spot, every company has been striving to make something that sticks in the mind of people. Big name celebrities, top of the line CGI, hot woman, these companies will spare no expense. It is really the only time people will actually tell their friends to shut up and watch a freaking commercial.
Superbowl MANia
WORDS BY JessCe
This year marks a turning point in my life. This year I will sit down with my father and my brother and I will watch the Superbowl. We will eat wings and drink beer and all will be well with the world. I will watch as my chosen city (who dat?!) crushes the Colts. I will see many commercials but I will not be seeing one for ManCrunch.com.
CBS denied the gay dating site a Superbowl slot saying that they believed the commercial would anger viewers. CBS was under the impression that the site was trying to generate a buzz around its name by creating an ad for the Superbowl that they knew would get rejected. A rep from the site has claimed that it took CBS two weeks to get back to them about the fate of their commercial. The channel also reportedly feared that ManCrunch.com, which is owned by Avid Life Media, would be unable to handle the fee for airing the commercial during peak Superbowl hours.
The main issue here seems to be a commercial that could potentially make viewers uncomfortable. The most infamous dating site, eHarmony, can put out commercials with a business-woman saying that she doesn’t have time to go out and date because she is too successful. I’m sure plenty of women might find that suggestion offensive. ManCrunch approaches finding love in a no pretense sort of way. In the age of the “Bromance,” their slogan, “Putting the man back in romance,” is the perfect thing to get men thinking about all of those ass slaps post game.
Imagine, male bonding over the biggest games of the year and after a few beers a commercial comes on for a same sex dating site. Two women in jerseys touch hands over a bowl of chips. Suddenly they pounce on each other, kissing passionately. That would have been picked up before you could say “touchdown.”
Fast backward in time
