With California in such dire straights these days, it’s good to see that the people running the government are getting past their petty political differences for the good of the people, and trying to fix things as quickly and easily as possible. Oh wait, actually the exact opposite is happening.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has apparently had it with the California congress trying to push through bills that, frankly, he just doesn’t give a crap about. So, like any reasonable person, Schwarzenegger decided to give the CA legislator  a piece of his mind – secretly…  (more…)

It’s official, students at the University of South Carolina (and their Gamecocks) rank #1 in the nation in sexual health, according to Trojan condom’s 2009 Sexual Health Report Card.

The annual study analyzed 141 schools in the major NCAA conferences, grading them on a wide array of factors, including health center hours of operation, condom availability, HIV testing costs and the availability of anonymous anonymous advice. Scores are tallied similar to grade point average, with 4.0 being the best, and 0.0 the worst.

Ivy league schools ranked the best, with Columbia, Brown and Cornell all landing in the top 10. The Big East, on the other hand, is a literal cesspool of venereal disease, coming in dead last in the study. So, if you’re planning on going to school on the East Coast, make sure you bring your Trojans…

In the United States, there’s just something about exposed female nipples that sends people into a fit of disgust. Because of this, most of the country’s laws forbid women to display their breasts in public. Even the acceptance of breast feeding out in the open has come under attack.

As you might have guessed, we here at COED think this is a ridiculous form of discrimination against the rights of women to show off their bodies when they want, how they want. It’s called feminism, people! Which is why we’re so excited that today is National Go Topless Day (mildly NSFW )! (more…)

The holy grail of dating is to actually find a girl who’s hot but is still willing to go out with you.  And as you’ve already figured out, that’s really hard.  But even if you’re not as attractive or as suave as that friend who has so much sex you want to punch him, even if you “have no game,” there are a few ways to tip the scales in your favor.  These aren’t magic bullets.  They’re practical, actionable things that you can do to help you snag that gorgeous girl who it turns out has low enough self esteem to actually go for you.

What the heck is going on in China. Today, Wall Street Journal is reporting that a 16-year-old kid was beaten to death in “internet addiction” camp by his counselors. They were supposed to treat him but became agitated with him and ended up killing him instead.

The Chinese government is investigating the matter and has closed the internet addiction camp. Besides the atrocity of someone getting killed at a camp that’s supposed to be helping them, what the heck is an internet addiction camp? I can’t even believe there are such things. You want someone to stop using the internet, just cancel the service, get rid of the computer. There are much better ways to stop the “addiction” than sending a kid to a camp.

When remembering the regrettable cultural cesspool that defined the 1980’s, two things typically come to mind: horribly bad synth-pop and Sylvester Stallone. Like a marriage made in 80’s Hell, the two combined created a unique genre of inspirational pussy-rock that bled all over American Pop Culture like a Rambo-induced, survival knife slash to the jugular. These songs that once made us hope, cheer and yes… even cry, now make us cringe with embarrassment that we know every lyric, line for line. (Stop your bitching… you know you love it.) (more…)

Contrary to what everyone – even potheads – think about marijuana, a new study shows that the drug has “minimal” effects on the brain. Conducted by a team of investigators from the United Kingdom, Spain, Brazil, Switzerland and Australia, the “systematic literature review”, recently published online by Psychological Medicine, combines 41 different studies from around the world of marijuana’s effect on brain function. And after thorough review, the researches concluded that its effects are nearly nonexistent. (more…)

When you think of comic books, the first thing that comes to mind is probably not the star of the “Ghost Whisperer.” But that’s all about to change as life-long super-hottie, Jennifer Love Hewitt is starting her own comic book. Harking back to her I Know What You Did Last Summer days, Hewitt’s 10-issue comic series, “The Music Box” will be a horror-based focused around a “an old-fashioned device with an ugly history.”

“The chance to create my very own comic, and a horror/thriller at that, is like a very fun nightmare come true,” said Hewitt. “I’ve always been fascinated by the notion that an inanimate object can hold as much malevolent energy as a human being can. And when they two meet, or are at cross purposes, very bad things can happen.” [via MTV]

Wednesday, some lucky Queens, New York resident won a staggering $133 million in the Mega Millions state lottery. And since I live in Queens, I was pretty pissed off it wasn’t me. Then I made myself feel better by remembering that most people who win the lottery have their lives ruined by the money. But that got me thinking, what exactly are you supposed to do, if you miraculously win, to keep it from ruining you life? (Surprisingly, “hookers and coke” is not the right answer.)

After a little research, I’ve come up with a few quick tips for how to conduct yourself after becoming richer than your wildest dreams. (more…)

Calls for the legalization and decriminalization of marijuana grew louder this week, coming from a highly unlikely group: the police. In a 180-degree shift in position, South Carolina Law Enforcement Division agents, along with police chiefs and elected sheriffs from around the state announced their support for the legalization and taxation of marijuana.

“Weed is good.  Weed is right.  Weed works,” said Dorchester County Sheriff B.D. Squire, spokesman for the group. The change comes after calculating how much tax revenue could be produced by legalizing marijuana.

“There was a half-million dollar bust a couple weeks ago in Berkely County,” said state Agriculture Secretary Hugh Weathers, “if that pot was taxed at anything near the rate of tobacco… well that would be about $500 million straight into the state coffers. Can you imagine what kind of income we’d pull in if it was planted on proper farms and not just in little patches in the woods? We wouldn’t be having a ’stimulus’ debate because we wouldn’t need the money.”
