  1. Science Says Women Dig Fast Cars
    
    ((Wired News))
  2. A study to be published this spring in Human Nature found that men will do almost anything to put their wealth and/or strength on display -- from buying expensive fast cars to taking up parachuting. In other words, they'll do anything to get laid.
    
    Well, totally, like, duh!

  1. target audience
    
    (s m u g)
  2. Even if I have personally reached the point at which I am not longer aware of the lexicons of large urban subcultures, there's a million things insulting about this ad.
    
    Nearly a year ago to this day, BoyCaught read an article in Smug (online) Magazine, charging the original Bud "Whazzup" ad as racist. At that time, BoyCaught questioned the (idiot) writer's qualifications for making that judgement, given the fact that she admitted she was "a middle class white woman" who was no "longer aware of the lexicons of large urban subcultures."
    
    BoyCaught, who easily falls into the very same demo-ethnographic population cohort portrayed by the actors in the spot, argued that he knew people exactly like those characters, and in fact, at times, may be one of those characters. To call the ad racist suggested that there is no such thing as a Black man who can just kick it at home, drink a beer, and watch a game on his big screen TV. Sh*t, if he wasn't doing that, what would he be doing, playing basketball? Breaking into your house?
    
    So, here's the thing: is the new "What Are You Doing?" Budweiser spot, with the preppy white guys, an example of reverse-racism? Or are there really white guys who wear cardigan sweaters at home, drink imported beer, and watch CNBC and the Money Honey?

  2. This is a survey taken from 500 women ages 25 through 45 years old, single and married. When a woman knows the pleasure of dancing in the arms of a man, it is next to impossible to settle for anything less, unless he has some incredibly exciting career in which they can experience unlimited financial freedom together or he is unbelievable in bed or both! Yes, it is true in the order of importance according to our survey. Dance, Financial Success then Sex.
    
    Does that include break dancing? Because BoyCaught can do that.

    (ESPN)
  2. It was the most captivating moment in a tumultuous career for Capriati, the former child prodigy who left the women's tour in the mid-1990s because of drug and personal problems.
    
    BoyCaught's not much of a tennis fan, but as a sports fan, a watcher of people, and a lover of stories, this one is truly great: Capriati was strung out on hard drugs, and now she's made it all the way back to win her first ever Grand Slam. If you start soon enough, apparently, you can f*ck up royally, and still have time to recover gracefully. If you f*ck up late in life, you may be screwed.

  1. How to manage your site with Blogger, PHP, and XML
  2. This document will show you how to use Blogger to store your site information in XML and then transform that XML into HTML on your server using PHP.
    
    Cool tutorial, but what if one doesn't use Blogger or PHP? There is a world out there, you know, that uses Perl, and ASP, ColdFusion, Manila, Grok Soup, Grey Matter, and others, ad infinitum. Where are those tutorials? The question is purely rhetorical, but if everyone does everything the same way, while computer geeks call it standards all BoyCaught sees is conformance and, further upstream, facism. Be different. Think different. Do different. Because variety is the spice of life.

    (DenverPost.com)
  2. Like every woman before her on the "MNF" show - including Lesley Visser, whom Stark replaced in June - she'll be on the sidelines, not up at broadcast central, where the men sit.
    
    With the Super Bowl coming up (and BoyCaught from Joisey -- Go Jints!) it makes one wonder: is having grown up playing the game at an organized level a requirement for sports journalists? Isn't denying women commentators access to the broadcast booth in a sport like pro football similar to saying: a woman reporter couldn't cover war stories, because it's not very likely she's ever fought in a real battle?

  1. The Cult of the Mac
    
    (BBC News)
  2. The loyalty of the Macintosh community is legendary, and at MacWorld, you really feel the love.
    
    It's not too often that BoyCaught truly experiences the epiphany, that shining, intellectually orgasmic moment when, but for a shining instant, the real truth rings in your ears, clearly and unmistakably. Well, surprise! BoyCaught just had an epiphany about the state of the Black man in America today. Important certainly to BoyCaught, if no one else. The epiphany was triggered by the words on the T-shirt depicted in the photo to the right: It's a Mac thing, you wouldn't understand ... That line, of course, is borrowed from a militant African American expression, one very similar: It's a Black thing, you wouldn't understand. The epiphany: if people were computers, the Black man would be a Macintosh. Now think about that for a second, you soft, libertarian busta: all of the parallels are there
    Much more on this to come, shortly. Please stay tuned ...
