And everything else.” more ›

In March, Patrice Lataillade, Marc Jacobs International CFO and COO, filed suit against his former employer and its president, Robert Duffy, for creating a "discriminatory environment" that involved "displaying [of] gay pornography in the office and requiring employees to look at it," and Duffy's "requirement that an MJI store employee perform a pole dance for him."

An unidentified NYPD detective is suing the department, claiming that during his four years on the force, he's been subject to offensive insults from fellow officers, and was slapped with bogus disciplinary charges when he complained.

"[Internal Affairs] is supposed to be the last bastion of upholding the law," his lawyer tells the Daily News. "This just makes you lose faith in the system." So unless you want your abiding faith in the NYPD totally shattered, read no further! more ›

Depending on what part of the country you're from, Boob-alicious, booty-licious, she's got it. She's making no attempt to downplay it or hide it because she wants access for her yob [sic]" Referencing celebrating "Love Your Body Day," he said: "As far as I can tell, Ines celebrates her body daily, not just once a year... The team was celebrating her body." Why do feminists hate celebrations?! Ugh. In case you've forgotten how revolting this guy is, listen below: more ›
