Batman is Hey guys i’m premiering today! As everyone and their mothers knows (except for perhaps mine), The Dark Knight hit theaters at 12:01 AM today, and since then, Facebook has been under siege with Dark Knight status updates.

Prettying Up Your Ugly Betty
Do the curtains match the carpet? It’s an essential question not just for monochromatic interior designers, but for curious men (and women) who seek to know if a lady’s hair color is uniformly aligned with the hues in the nether regions of her body. As we all know, not all blondes are natural, and nothing …
WEBSITE REVIEW: Hillary vs. Obama
