PoopoBrit.com, the "creative living" website created by Brit Morin, has posted yet another "wait...what?" inducing suggestion. Just in case advising people to use old yoga mats as wine stoppers failed to get the site enough side eye, there is now a post up with a great snack idea to serve your friends of Irish descent on the most famous Irish holiday known to man:  Everyone loves Irish Car Bombs, especially come St. Patrick’s day. With a shot of Jameson and Bailey’s dropped into a half a Guinness, what’s not to like? Well, one thing's not to like. The way the Bailey's...

We all know that pregnancy and babies are great blog content. They are the number one way to get pageviews (followed closely by weddings and tragedies). With seemingly every blogger busy crafting creative gender reveals, it's time to check in with the internet and catch up with who's glowing and showing. First  Emphasis Added's Emily, of jean diapers fame, announced that she is pregnant with her second child in two years. We look forward to more posts about losing baby weight with juice fasts and documented trips to the hospital. Janae of the running blog Hungry Runner Girl announced her...

Jenna Cole, smarter than poor people, loves talking about her "down there". We've heard all about her struggles to keep her area from tearing during childbirth. It seems Jenna loves her vag gadgets, and she recently started using a new device to help her figure out how to flex her hoohah. Now Jenna is sharing the details of her exercise regimen for her personal place. She begins by giving a history of her urinary issues, and then  treats us to the appetizing details of her situation: ...ontrol over my muscles down there has always been an area of weakness. During exercise, I...

This week, Internet freedom fighter Brit Moron debuted a new section of her site: weddings. I don't know about you, but I've been dying for more riveting, intelligent crafting ideas from the Martha Stewart of the geeks. Currently Moron Weddings (sadly not the official title) is just a collection of old crafts she has already featured that would allegedly be great for weddings as well. I don't know if you want to start a new section of your website with a bunch of old content, but the main reason for this post is that, to celebrate the opening of her...

Penolope Trunk, person who claims to be influential, just couldn't resist fishing for her own pageviews by posting a linkbait aside at Dooce. Apparently Miss Trunk feels she is the world's authority on divorce because, you know, she went through one, and obviously all divorces and their causes are exactly the same. She feels she knows enough about every person's circumstances to declare that there is no excuse for divorce - and then blasts Il Dooce in what is surely the entire reason for this uninformed garbage of a post: Heather Armstrong is a great blogger who I have followed for years. But...

Heather Armstrong, IL DOOCE, is unraveling faster than a twice washed Ikea couch blanket. After her estranged husband posted some thoughts about her sponsored guest room on his blog, a few readers came forward in her post about the project with some criticism about the partnership - and her website in general. (more…)

Meghann, has some healthy living blog, now joins Jordan "lol I can't remember to lock my door" Reid in the internet's latest trend - adult ineptitude. Grown human person Meghann tried to make her first ever pot of coffee. Apparently she failed to comprehend the quantum mechanics level difficulty of such a task, and her coffee turned out poorly. Lest the entire planet fail to be aware that she is just so adorably incompetent she jumped right on twitter to alert us all of her failure at performing a basic task that millions somehow accomplish daily. Look, ladies. If you...

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to call up one of your very rich friends and ask for some startup money? Well not anymore! Silicon Valley visionaries Sarah Lacy and Paul Carr have magnanimously decided to show you what that experience is like, with a weekly segment called Why Isn't This News? In it Lacy and Carr spend 30+ minutes (I have yet to sit through an entire episode) doing everything possible to assure you and most importantly themselves that yes, they are indeed clever and hilarious people. I won't even post the latest video here because I...

Jon Armstrong, arguably the better half of the Dooce.com empire, has started opening up about his separation from his wife Heather. He begins by addressing the many questions he's received asking why he would help Heather out with her latest project - helping his future ex-wife film a sponsored post featuring free furniture when he apparently was forced into an apartment with nothing. In a long post, Jon talks about what he calls "Recent Events": Many of you might wonder why the hole I’d agree to help Heather. And I’m with you. I’ve asked myself this question plenty. I should mention...

Jessica Quirk, so French, is inexplicably still posting to her What I Wore blog. Today's mediocre offering shows Messica utilizing the classic Hide The Roll Half Tuck with yet another striped shirt. But Messica doesn't care what you think (except when she does): I bought this top over the weekend. Another. Striped. Top. Whatever! I know what I like! And the best part is that it’ll work year round and with so many pieces I already have in my closet. Win, win! Is it just me or is Messica really let her beyotchy defensive flag fly these days? Is she pregnant and...

Jenna Cole, monetized, monetizes her blog. Like most of the other mommy/lifestyle/whatever bloggers, she sometimes writes up product reviews in sponsored posts, and gives away whatever it is the company sends her. Recently she ran a review for some company's skin cream. After saying a lot of nothing about the product, she offered some earrings she had lying around from Poland as a gift to someone who followed her twitter or pinned something on the latest time waster for women addicted to Google Image Search. Apparently the deceitful winner did neither, and Jenna Justice prevailed: As soon as she gets accepted...

Gina of Fitnessista, the site that proves adding an -ista to anything makes you instantly glam, had a baby. Since pushing a vessel for combined dna out of a vagina makes one an automatic expert free from critique, Gina felt it was high time someone told you people what is expected of you when you visit Princesss Mom. Gina advises you to bring over food, and "help out by picking up some neglected chores while they’re over: dishes, laundry, vacuuming, etc". You should also "return overdue library books, address thank-you cards, send out packages/mail", and last but not least keep...

PoopoBrit, the wildly successful shill/crapft/food/omgTECH site, thrills tens of readers with yet another round of hilariously bad ideas. Brit's sad attempts at treating us to super duper creative recipes left us vomiting and longing for more crapfts. Since laser etching, spray painting and binder clip "hacks" are all she has in her crafting arsenal, Brit hired someone who apparently thinks that germy old foam coated in everyone's foot funk is safe for food and that rubber mats "could be oven mitts, pot holders, flat-iron holders for travel, etc."  20 Creative Ways To Repurpose Old Yoga Mats After years of downward dogs...

Project Baby, #19082348727290487 in your Mommy Blogger catalog, is worried about her child. It seems her baby likes to eat a lot of food, more than she feels Baby Socialite should be eating. I have this fear she is overeating. But here is the kicker: she is SO not even close to overweight. She has a tiny bit of baby tummy and chubby cheeks, but honestly? She is pretty lean. Did I mention I am still nursing her 5 times a day? My sister in law suggested she might have a super high metabolism like me. This could be the case, but...

OMGFASHIONWEEK has begun in New York City, and it's already shaping up to be a non-event. After all, how exciting can it be when even Messica isn't attending anything? Even tumblr has said 'eff it'. With the departure of Rich Tong they are hardly bothering; after a couple of seasons of 'no1curr' from the fashion industry they are no longer bothering to fly in "20 bloggers handpicked by Rich Tong Tumblrs from around the world". Instead, they have selected 5 local "emerging voices in fashion" (read: people you have never heard of) to post stuff under their "NYFW" tag. What...

Well, I've learned my lesson. I took a short break from GOMIBLOG and almost missed some more word vomit from our very own Scary Mandolph: Recently: standing at the kitchen counter, attempting to peel a hardboiled egg. The white kept coming off with the shole until there was hardly any left, and I stood there, pissed off, late, a million things to do, thinking, “How am I going to do this when I’m a mom?” That’s the question I ask whenever these mundane tasks don’t come easy, like removing an egg shole in one deft maneuver, the flat side of the thumb,...

Kath Younger, bread specialist, has a bun in the oven. Since there seems to be some competition on the internet about who can announce their pregnancy in the most original way, she couldn't just announce the news with two words. Instead, she created some weird form of Pictionary, telling her readers to "connect the dots": What’s with the orange juice? The cereal? The mac n cheese? In fact, why is there cheese in every meal I eat?...And perhaps most obvious: where are all the vegetables?! Why have some of my posts seemed so aloof they elicit a round of comment...

Elena, made a baby, had her baby. After spending the past nine months focused on making sure she has a heterosexual baby, the alleged buy-a-bride finally produced her hypnobaby and posted the pics to her facebook wall. Unfortunately she didn't get quite the outpouring of love she expected. She quickly started deleting comments like these: (more…)

Jane Pratt, the formerly relevant editor now running xojane.com, is encouraging women to bravely send in photos of themselves first thing in the morning: hen I was in our staff meeting yesterday brainstorming ways to drive traffic, I thought about how well the bellies gallery did for us and we (Emily) came up with this assignment to all xoJane Staffers: Show how you look when you first wake up in the morning. And I will do it too! Readers sent in photos of themselves wearing no makeup first thing in the morning, prompting Jane to laud their fearlessness. Telling readers "Your willingness to...

On the heels of Mr. and Mrs. Dooce Blog announcing their separation comes news of other bloggers who are potentially ending their marriages. Anissa Mayhew, who evidently came to fame by documenting her health issues, announced yesterday on her blog that she was calling it quits. The kids know. I wouldn’t think about telling any of you before telling them. They’re hurting, but they also knew that something was wrong. I feel so sorry to them to not be able to provide the home they deserve. I HATE THAT. Especially after what they’ve already been through. But having been through what I have,...
