Hello From Vagina Land

[Update]: Sadly, most of the videos seem to have been taken down. Shame.

Summer’s Eve, makers of presumably fine feminine products, have launched a questionable-yet-hilarious ad campaign involving hand puppet vaginas. Lest you think I’m making this up, check out the YouTube clips, which range from bizarre to vaguely racist to entirely racist (and suspiciously familiar).

They’ve also put up a website at IDtheV.com to help ladies learn more about their bodies, including a quiz where visitors are asked to identify parts of the vagina (I’m 5 for 5, ladies).

This campaign is brilliant—built around education and information but sassy and edgy enough to get people talking. As fans of healthy lady parts, Justin Williams and I have decided to help their cause by making a Vagina Land ringtone for you to enjoy.

Hail to the V.

Beef FAQs

From Taco Bell’s new beef FAQs page:

OKAY, BUT I’VE HEARD YOU USE GRADE D MEAT. IS THAT WHY IT’S SO CHEAP?

Although that’s funny, the answer is NO. In fact, there’s no such grade given by the USDA for beef. We use the same quality beef used in all ground beef (like you’d find in the grocery store) – only USDA-inspected, 100% premium real beef, period.

Migraines

David Friedman posted a fascinating article on Ironic Sans about his experience with migraines and a new and interesting side-effect he’s discovered.

As a long-time migraine sufferer, it’s beautiful to see the aura so aptly described. I’ve always had a hard time explaining it to people who haven’t experienced it.
