Every man knows that if you don’t look like that underwear model on the Pierre Cardin billboard, you can still be “the funny guy.” You can still get laid even if you’re short, fat, balding and even a jerk as long as you can induce the ROFLs and LOLs. Right? Wrong. A new psychology study has ...

A new study on height ...
When I told some of my friends that I was writing for this website, I received hesitant stares followed by the question “So…are you a feminist?” Am I a feminist?

Barbie is our favourite doll to hate, but there are actually worse dolls on the market. Liz Nord takes on the toys that want to turn our kids into Bratz.
