I'm shocked that you completely ignored the entire Direct-To-Fan movement. Tools like Topspin, Nimbit, Bandzoogle, Moontoast, and many others allow you to build a complete online store inside your website or Facebook. You can sell digital & physical music, plus merch, tickets, and lots of other stuff, directly to fans

It's easy to attack the BSA as an organization — and admittedly, the leaders who allowed this to happen deserve the full weight of our Internet-rage. But I was a Scout for some of the most formative years of my life, and I gained so many positives from the experience that helped shape me into the man I am today. Like

"3MTA3" isn't that hard to decode if you see it in your rearview mirror...reverse it and it spells "EAT ME". Juvenile, but not worthy of being banned IMHO

Dude is clearly oblivious to his own creepitude. Also, outside of a high school debate team, who uses the phrase "societal norm"?

@JessicaLovejoy: YES! That's the first thing I thought when I saw this.

@eggplantparm: Thanks Eggplant. This was my first post on Jezebel, and the vehemence of the responses took me by surprise. I'm really glad someone's gone on the record to back me up. And with that, I'm gonna gracefully exit this forum, before I jam my foot in my mouth and say something like "Bros before hos!"

@eggplantparm: That's what I get for trying to be snarky and half-serious. Geez, and I thought this was a GAWKER blog.

@SarahMC: Thanks for giving some thought to my POV, SarahMC. You hit the nail on the head there. When I saw that the original article was written by men, about mens' opinions, and that Jezebel wanted mens' responses, that set the tone for my reading.

@eggplantparm: Yeesh. Apparently I misinterpreted the whole point of the article. I took the question to be "if a gal is trying to make an impression with her undergarments, what do you think is the sexiest?" But most of the comments interpret the article as "If your man comes home and finds you in the underwear

@SarahMC: If the magazine goes to the effort of creating an outfit and photographing it, I feel justified in critically analyzing their decisions.

@minesbigger: When I started writing my response, there was only one post up. And the window didn't update as I typed. I posted, then went back and read all the responses and went "holy crap, I totally sound like a giant douche now". Hence all the backpedaling. You girls are so chatty! I just can't keep up.

@MsKenney: The example of "mismatched" at top is gross. The dark red bra and the model's dark hair make the whole look top-heavy. And light-yellow shorts are totally unsexy and send a confusing message. That photo makes my brain hurt. Hence, gross.

NOTE: after reading most of the responses, I realize lots of girls don't bother to match their underwear. I do NOT mean to imply that yall have mental problems — just that if you're going for an actual LOOK with your undies, mismatched is not hot. If you're trying to seduce a guy, put some effort into the undies.

I (a guy) turned my girlfriend on to Jezebel some months back, although to be honest, I don't actually read it that often. I mainly drop in via links from other Gawker blogs. But I saw this headline and figured I'd toss in my two cents.
