Bret Easton Ellis vs. Details
Q: When American Psycho was published, some of the attacks from feminists were so vitriolic. Did that bother you?
A: Women are crazy! So no, it i didn't. I grew up with two sisters and my mom. I saw first-hand how emotionally unstable women can be. To a degree I do believe that the book is feminist in nature. I think it's a book that is criticizing certain male values and behavior. So the feminist response was just - you know, it was retarded.

“Tony Hayward can be seen as a man in action, or a man reputed for in-action,” said Philip Chang, a publicist with Chicago-based Carbon Publicity.

The owner says I have good news and bad news. ”The good news is someone walked in the other day and asked if your works would appreciate in value once you’ve passed away. I told him, yes, absolutely; then he bought every single piece of yours.”
The artist says, “Well, what’s...

For Apple, the idea of restricting the iPhone was akin to asking Steve Jobs to ditch the black turtleneck. “They tried to have that conversation with us a number of times,” says someone from Apple who was in the meetings. “We consistently said ‘No, we are not going to mess up the consumer experience on the iPhone to make your network tenable.’ They’d always end up saying, ‘We’re going to have to...

Race-on-Race Relationships
It must have been backwards day on Friday, because Happy Hour was anything but that. Other than a lot of dumpster talk about Lebron to Miami, fools from Cleveland talking trash, several issues came up, both clumsy and thought-provoking.
