Do they make a big deal of Valentine's Day in Israel? (regarding the last link) I have all sorts of questions about that one. The New Yorker cartoon made me laugh.

Those head tingling things are "adult toys"? I bought one for a coworker. Now I understand our frosty relationship.

I want a Happy Meal with extra happy

Re: the New Yorker cartoon: I must say, I think it's questionable to use the "joke" of Trump being romantically entangled with Putin. I mean, it is funny on one hand, but it definitely is getting some percentage of it's humor from the "joke" that they might be gay. I'm not saying this is straightforward homophobia, but I am seeing a lot of jokes about Trump/Putin, Trump/Bannon etc that deal in this brand of humor and puts me ill at ease.
As for adult toys in Burger King happy meals, I support it.

I think a lot of the appeal of the Trump/Putin slash stuff is that people do it because it would bother them. It's sort of like the appeal of the unflattering pictures of Trump. You don't want to insult people because of the way they look, but on the other hand, he insults women like that all the time, so you kind of want to highlight the double standard.
And PS no, those head massagers are NOT SEX TOYS, and please don't be telling people they are, Burger King. I have one just sitting out in my living room, and I wouldn't want my guests to start getting suspicious of the couch. (I have boxes of Kleenex and lotion on a bunch of my end tables, which I sometimes hide because I worry that it looks like I have little masturbation stations set up all throughout the house.)

A lot of the appeal of Trump/Putin is also that Trump's such a bully (even in things like his handshakes!) and yet he's so over-the-moon about Putin that it's funny. You'd expect him to be doing tough-guy posturing toward Russia, but instead he's all, "I hope he notices me!"
Which is, y'know, a funny sort of look for a 70-year-old man.

Nope, the masturbation stations set up throughout my house are extra large, thank you very much.

You kinda buried the lede there, which is that Idris Elba would like you to pound his yams. Just . . . um . . . just watch the video. Totally SFW.
Assuming you're allowed to pound yams at work.

I wonder how many people named a cockroach Trump?
Can't tell you that, but I can tell you for a fact that one of my friends named two cockroaches Steve Bannon and Mitch McConnell. It was on the receipts and everything.
