It really is impossible.
The best part of this ad is how Crazytown’s ‘Butterfly’ is playing faintly in the background of the 2003 scene.
If you are into 20yr old documentaries of youth from New Jersey talking about life, then THIS IS A MUST-SEE. It’s the Jersey Shore without the MTV and people from Long Island!
I would love to find the whole doc somewhere. Preferably on VHS.
This is gold. This is exactly what The Boss was talking about in ‘Glory Days’.
From the producer’s website:
This film takes you down the shore with an all-women crew to Wildwood, NJ, the last great American blue-collar seaside carnival town. Wildwood, NJ moves beyond gum-cracking, big hair, and press-on nails to look into the souls of women raised on the boardwalk’s rides, lights and come-ons.
Grandmothers and go-go girls; girls who work as vampires in boardwalk haunted houses. Tween girls stretching out on their first trip without their parents: young, rangy a little drunk on Bud, dukes up, nose open, with a cuppla’ bucks to burn.
A Wildwood honeymoon, virginity lost to a boardwalk stranger, fistfights, madness, babies—and no matter what—returning to Wildwood year after year as they grow up and grow old.

Introducing BetterMe!
The project I’ve been working on since October officially launched today! BetterMe is a tool that allows coworkers, classmates, and friends to exchange private, anonymous feedback. There are plenty of venues on the internet for expressing yourself anonymously, but none truly designed for giving constructive feedback to people who are interested in improving professionally or personally. We think we’ve changed that.
This is just the beginning for BetterMe. Our office walls are plastered with ideas and plans for BetterMe’s future, some of which you’ll begin seeing in the coming weeks.
Check it out when you have a moment. Registering is free, quick, and painless. Play around with it and send your coworkers, boss, classmates, or uncle some feedback. If you’re looking for an inward glimpse, send out a feedback request. Let me know what you think… there’s a special place on our wall for suggestions from users. Send ideas or other feedback for us to hq [at] betterme.com (or directly to me).
And now: a picture of me sporting the Official BetterMe Slanket…
Connect with BetterMe on Facebook or on Twitter at @BetterMeHQ.
No, I think your life is just fine. Especially you, laptop at Starbucks guy!
For those not in the know, “FML” is super-hep-internet-speak for “fuck my life.”
Chef Jamie Oliver just gave one of the most important talks ever given on the TED stage. Take 20 minutes and watch it. His wish is “for everyone to help create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity.”
And as the winner of the TED prize he gets $100,000 and the resources of everyone who considers themselves part of the TED community to make it happen.
That is very cool.
There are many aspects of both this product and this picture I find repellent, but the way the guy is shoehorning his toes in using his fingers takes the cake.
The visibly chapped feet are a close second.
At least the shoes match his fashionable anklet.
Pre-Order Your Valentine's Day Steak Now!
From TheKitchn:
“It’s almost Valentine’s Day, and if you’re eating at home on Valentine’s next weekend, then there’s a pretty good chance you’ll be eating steak.”
Really? Is this why I’m single? Because I didn’t know that steak is the traditional Valentine’s Day meal?
Oh, hi there, Evangeline Lilly.
