Unsexy Man Does Not Care, Walks Around In Tiny Bathing Suit

Studio@Gawker · 08/29/12 10:59AM

If, like the man above, you choose to stride along a public beach wearing your basic brown banana-hammock, just do it with the same level of swag. He doesn't care that his spare tire is gleaming in the late-summer sunshine, nor that his body hair creates a halo around his creatively toned muscles. And he's obviously down with those sunglasses that were purchased at a Taos gas station sometime during the hazy summer of 1981.

Republicans Are Just Like You: Creepy Two-Bit Bad Actors

Hamilton Nolan · 08/29/12 09:15AM

You can't really appreciate the extent to which politicians are actors until you're seated in a shitty press seat at a political convention that does not give you a direct view of the stage, but which does give you a view of a huge TV screen showing the politician speak and, simultaneously, a view of the teleprompter from which they're reading. In this position, every dramatic pause, every glowing smile, every instance of pointy-finger and raised voice and shaken head can be seen for what it really is: an actor, reading lines, trying to get the part.

Up to a point, Joshua Shelton had a normal Friday night this weekend. The 21 year-old got drunk and passed out in a shack wearing only a t-shirt and his boxers, soaked in his own urine. Who hasn't done that before? Well, the point that separates Shelton's night from yours or mine was that when he woke up, a Wicomico County Sheriff's deputy was there to inform him he'd murdered 70,000 chickens overnight.

Argentines To Take 'Save the Whales' Campaign to Next Level By Executing Seagulls

Taylor Berman · 08/28/12 07:55PM

Seagulls in Argentina have changed from your standard beach pests into whale killing monsters, or so say Argentine authorities. It appears seagulls there have taken to pecking tiny bits of flesh from the backs of southern right whales as they surface for air, which naturally hurts the whales but, more importanly, hurts the whale watching industry in the area. As the AP put it, the seagull attacks are damaging the "region's tourism industry as well, by turning whale-watching from a magical experience into something sad and gruesome." Local tourist officials agree.
