How to travel across the country using only social media

Lindsay Rule is comfortable traveling by herself, which is unusual for a young single woman in today’s scary world.

Don’t get us wrong – it’s not that traveling by oneself that’s the scary part – it’s the way that Lindsay chose to do it that may have given her family and friends a bit of a scare.

On the other hand, if you think about what Lindsay did, she was probably traveling in the most safe way possible. She technically wasn’t traveling alone; she was bringing hundreds of eyes with her, watching her every move.

Want kids to eat more fruits and vegetables? It’s all about cartoon marketing

Look, we all know that kids today are a little on the plump side.

They don’t like to exercise, they don’t like to eat anything but fast food.

Blame it on MTV, video games, and Ronald McDonald.

But there’s a reason for it – and it may have something to do with the same reason that Sugar Smacks had to be changed to just Smacks on the cereal aisle.

When you get 10,000 topless women together at one moment, it can be considered an art form.

When you get 10,000 topless women together for a protest about censorship, you get a movement. Call it GIRLRILLAZ.

10 Ways to Spot a Douchebag

Post date August 22, 2012

Sometimes you just want somebody to tell you that you’re being one.

Sometimes you like to point it out in others.

Let’s face it – douchebags can be lots of fun — especially to those people who feel that they’re not being a douche at the time.

But while it may have been cool to even be aHipster Douchebag, maybe it’s time to hang up the duckface and move on to other things.

Pop Quiz: how well do you know your Victorian sex terms?

Back in the day, Web Watch took a college course in Human Sexuality.

It was supposed to be one of those “easy A”-type classes, but sometimes when word gets around about the alleged “underwater basketweaving” reputation of a college course — even one seemingly as trivial as Human Sexuality — the Powers That Be decide to makde some dramatic changes by firing the teaching staff and hiring new professors to turn the class into something a bit more… challenging.

So now we were stuck with writing essays about the Human Condition, and discussing “feelings”.

It ended up being a much more difficult course than those who took previous semesters had experienced.

Damn them.

How many dates should you have before saying, “I Love You”?

Post author By web gangsta
Post date August 20, 2012

Web Watch knows one couple who decided to get married after just one month of dating — and they’ve been happily married ever since.

There’s another couple we know that have been together for about a year… yet they haven’t yet appeared at an event together as a couple. Friends are still asking when they’ll get to meet the other half – or if they ever will.

When it comes to dating, some people have specific rules: no kissing until the third date, for example. Or no sex until at least after meeting the parents (because meeting the parents represents a significant step forward in ones’ relationship).

7 Underwear Features that Consumers Demand Most

How much time have you spent contemplating your underwear?

Ladies – we all know that you have segregated your underwear drawer into “everyday”, “date night”, “special occasion”, and “laundry day” categories. There may be more, but women seldom like to be privvy to their private stash.

Men, on the other hand, have “everyday”, “laundry”, and “not quite laundry”.

Guess what: people tend not to respect you if you’re having too much sex

Post author By web gangsta
Post date August 18, 2012

It should be an obvious conclusion: if you’re having lots of sex — and Web Watch is talking about you having way more sex than your peers are — then you shouldn’t be surprised if those same peers have a lower opinion of you.

Which does lead to the obvious question, if you’re not having all that extra sex with your peers — then who ARE you having all that sex with? But we digress…lets get back to the question at hand…
