Sunday Scraps 8

1. HUMOR/SEX: CollegeHumor’s latest sketch reminds you that, oh hey, about a third of porn consumers are female. Says one actress, “We have the internet, too, you know.”

2. SPORTS: Two Raptors players were “caught” on camera OMG holding hands. Let the controversy ensue! Marc Lamont Hill of the Philadelphia Inquirer lays out the absurdity.

3. ART/WAR: The Graffiti of War project features unconventional art by deployed military men and women. Check out an interview with the project creators and a gallery of pretty amazing work.

4. FASHION: A size 8 at Banana Republic is a size 2 at the Gap. And those two brands are owned by the same parent company. Wait, what? This infographic from the NYT illustrates the less-than-standardized world of sizing.

5. BOOKS: Best childrens book title ever.

6. “CRUDE”/POLITICS: Massachusetts legislators can’t handle the “disgusting” language on a state-sponsored sex-ed website, MariaTalks.com. The site is designed for teenagers, and everyone seems shocked that teens prefer “handjob” to “digital sex” and that “fellatio” isn’t part of their everyday vocabulary. When will lawmakers realize that the priority is not your delicate sensibilities but the safety and health of your constituents?
