If you’re a regular reader of this web site, you may be familiar with the “Is it Gay” series, where I look at something that may be perceived as gay among men and determine if it’s “gay” or not gay.

While trying to come up with a new addition to this series, I decided to consult Google’s suggested search terms to hopefully come up with a new idea.  What I found was both shocking and hysterical.  I typed in “Is it Gay” a number of ways and I found some recurring themes, particularly that a lot of men out there are fans of a certain popular boy band.

Let’s take a look at what other actions are concerning homophobic men…

SEARCH TERM: Is it Gay…

Fantasy football draft season is here!  Around this time of year, any serious fantasy football player is likely to be spending a lot of free time pouring through cheat sheets, reading magazine and Internet articles and looking for injury updates on players they are targeting.

This is all well and good but it’s important to not neglect your fantasy football team name.  This is a KEY aspect of any fantasy football league and all owners should give their team name proper thought.  Picking a lame team name is such an egregious offense; one could make an argument for kicking an offender out of the league.

Picking a good team name can be very challenging, however.   It may just as difficult as deciding on a your draft strategy.  From searching through forum alias names and avatars, through to player monikers on JackpotCapitalCasino.com, there are lots of genius ideas around the web. Here are a few tips to help you come up with a great team name… (more…)

For a limited time, you can win a pair of tickets to a Caribbean Island called “Chaos Island” thanks to a giveaway from Lynx Attract.  (For people in the U.S you’ll know Lynx as Axe).   Whatever you decide to call it, this is an exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime trip for the winners. If the video below is any evidence of what’s to come, the winners will be in for a blast as they party it up in paradise with beautiful women in scantily clad bikinis.

I’m not exactly sure where in the Caribbean this is but as long as they aren’t’ sending you to Haiti, you really can’t go wrong with any Caribbean Island.

You can’t buy tickets to this mysterious island anywhere.  It doesn’t matter how rich you may be.  The only way to get there is winning this competition.  So how do you win? Well you’ll have to earn those tickets… (more…)

Just about everyone has been stuck on a bad first date at some point in their lives. If you find yourself in need of an escape from an awful date, you could fake an illness, make up an emergency or institute Barney Stinson’s “Lemon Law.”

But now, eHarmony’s new iPhone app will help your ruse seem a bit more believable. With a few swipes of the iPhone, you can have a call come in that will fake an emergency. The app allows you to specify when the call comes in and also lets you choose the person who is supposedly calling you, as well as choosing the emergency—such as having your mom call you to say your sister is in labor or a neighbor to tell you a pipe burst in your house. In addition the app will even give you instructions on what to say and facial expressions to make when you answer the phone.

It seems like this could definitely come in handy but it’s a strange app for a company like eHarmony to put out since their business is predicated on setting people up on good dates.

There are 32 different sports in the London Olympics Games. Most of them are very exciting but some of them are pretty dumb. Considering the Olympics decided to eliminate both baseball and softball recently, it’s hard to believe some of the events that made the cut over them. I’ve compiled a list below of what I think are some nominees for the dumbest sport in the Olympic Games. Check out the nominees and then be sure to vote! (more…)
