Real Housewives of New Jersey: All I Want for Christmas is you by Richard Lawson - Gawker.com

I've never actually watched this show but between the recaps and commercials I get the feeling that they're not portraying NJ in the best light. I don't know, I heard something about a Jersey Beach show or something too. I think its about young people who have to balance their social lives with professional careers while looking for love in the quaint vineyards and golf courses of Cape May? Hmm, who knows, maybe they'll get crabs. They're good with Old Bay.

Burkas and Birkins by Lindy West - Thestranger.com

I am going to take this time to alert you to what is, no exaggeration, the funniest movie review OF ALL TIME. No surprise, it's about Sex and the City 2. If you're not convinced...

"SATC2 takes everything that I hold dear as a woman and as a human—working hard, contributing to society, not being an entitled cunt like it's my job—and rapes it to death with a stiletto that costs more than my car. It is 146 minutes long, which means that I entered the theater in the bloom of youth and emerged with a family of field mice living in my long, white mustache. This is an entirely inappropriate length for what is essentially a home video of gay men playing with giant Barbie dolls."

"Frankenstein's Monster" by Chuck Klosterman - Grantland.com

I didn't have time to read this today but my boy (occasional contributor and erstwhile hypeman Bone) said it was good and I trust him. Actually I don't. But I do trust Klosterman as one of the best writers on the internet right now. And if he's writing about music and breaking down a Youtube video while doing so, then it's all sex and pizza to me. Even if it's bad, it's still pretty good.

p.s. Bone is bartending at The Copper Door Tavern on 20th and 3rd on Saturday night. Mention Poopreads to him and you'll get a free Bud Light. Kiss him and you'll get sores.

(Bone's Ed. Note: Make it 2 free bud lights (or any beer you want)! Don't ever say we didn't do anything for you.
