Celebratory Springtime Mini-Break!

It may not have felt like it here in Toronto, but yesterday was the first day of spring. Another sign that winter’s almost done? Easter. The Shameless Bloggers are simply too busy painting eggs and eagerly awaiting the Bunny to blog.

There will be limited posting over the holiday weekend. We’ll be back next week.

Nothing Better Than Happy Beavers

I love this ad because it’s completely contrary to shame. And, well, adorable.

Ellen Calls Sally Kern

I’m not too happy with Sally Kern, but I really, really love Ellen DeGeneres.

Did I mention I love Ellen DeGeneres?

Diamonds are For Rover.

Maybe this whole “diamonds prove your love for a woman” trend is finally over? Perhaps the industry has shifted gears?

Dog Diamonds


(Thanks Daisy)

No one is ever allowed to accuse me of “pampering” the dog again. Gratuitous photo of the would-be recipient of diamonds in my household, after the jump. (more inside…)

Breast Milk Cheese

I’d wager my winnings from Hot Flash that we’ll all agree this video is creepy. Yes, it has the dreaded “breast-bared-but-nipple-censored” thing going on, but exactly how and why it’s so disturbing may be up for debate.

From Treehugger:

“This send-up of the new greenwashing trend in advertising will give you a good belly-laugh, if you don’t pause to consider the tragic fact that even human milk is not free from chemical contamination.”

First I thought it was clever. Then it offended me. Now I’m just confused. What do you think?

Sexism, The Las Vegas Edition

So I’m back from my wild four-day weekend away in Las Vegas (don’t ask, it’s staying there) and thought I’d share this little sexist gem that I captured while spending way too much on nickle slots.

Stereotypes of lipstick-wearing, asprin-popping, diet-crazed, emotional, hormonal, mad-spending females galore! Oh, and please note that the dog house is labeled “Men:”

Slots
