DV EXPOSÉ: The "Pussification" of Cowboy Boots

Hard as it may be to believe, there was a time when cowboy boots represented something good. Something wholesome; American; manly. Those times, sad to say, are far behind us. This problem must be stopped as soon as humanly possible.

DV EXPOSÉ: Why Online Petitions Don't Work

We know it feels great to show your political activism and rage toward "the system" with a few quick button presses and mouse clicks, but we're here to tell you -- no matter how many signatures your "BRING BACK FIREFLY" petition gets, it ain't never going to happen. Ever.

DV Expose: We Need New Montage Songs

"I need a hero." "You're the best... around!" "Getting STRONGER!" These aren't just inspirational sayings. They're lyrics from so-called Montage Songs, 70s and 80s pop anthems that served as the classic inspirational backdrop to classic montage scenes in action films of that era. Up until the mid-90s you could expect a steady stream of these songs on the radio and in the movies. But somewhere about a decade ago, movie editors and pop musicians lost their way. The inspirational Montage Song hit parade ceased. Well, I think it's about damned time we brought them back.

DV EXPOSE: Wilderness Hoaxes

In the upcoming comedy "Strange Wilderness," a pack of barely competent losers (played by Steve Zahn, Justin Long and Jonah Hill) attempt to capture footage of Bigfoot in order to save their soon-to-be-cancelled nature show. The bumbling idiots of "Strange Wilderness" aren't singular entities--their hope to cash in on Bigfoot falls into a long line of oddballs trying to profit off of "Wilderness Hoaxes." Let's take a look at this great tradition...

DV Expose: The PMS Prank

Gentlemen (and ladies), meet Pierce Cairns. He's a pharmacy student in Winnipeg, Canada, which is cool. But Mr. Cairns is not of note here because of what he studies; it's because of his contribution to guyhood. Cuz thanks to Pierce Cairns, a whole slew of people in Canada think PMS isn't real; enter, the PMS prank.

DV Expose: Why Are Brazilian Women So Hot?

It goes without saying that Brazilian women rank among the hottest on the planet. The question is, "Why?"

DV Expose: Man Gaffes

With political season in full swing, we're hearing lots of speeches and debates. And with public speaking come chances to slip up and be misconstrued. When a politician has a quotable slip up, it's called a gaffe. Well, politicians aren't the only ones who slip up and get misunderstood--guys like you and me do it all the time. And when we do it, it's called a Man Gaffe.

DV Expose: Why New Year's Resolutions Are Stupid

When you're out partying tonight, getting drunk on cheap champagne and halfheartedly mumbling your few known lyrics of "Auld Lang Syne" to your peers, remember this:  any New Year's resolutions you make -- no matter how big or small -- are stupid.

DV EXPOSE: Just Make HGH Legal

Bravo, Major League Baseball.  You've managed to squander most of the goodwill that was so hard to come by on the heels of the baseball strike, and you've done it by implicating and shaming some of your brightest stars for using a drug that promotes better health -- but not necessarily better performance -- and has no conclusive negative side effects.

DV Expose: Jennifer Love Hewitt Can't Have It Both Ways

Jennifer Love Hewitt was the topic of water-cooler conversation recently. Some unflattering pictures of her showing off her flabby ass hit the net, causing gossip bloggers to smack her around like a large breasted Piñata. JLH, or "J. Love" (as I like to call her) responded to the critics by saying, in effect, that she's not fat and thus didn't deserve the criticism tossed her way. Well guess what, J. Love? When you build a career solely on your looks, you can't get mad when you start to turn ugly and people notice.

DV Expose: LA Is Not For The Manly

Hatred for Los Angeles is as American as Apple Pie (probably more-so, seeing as apple pie was invented in England). It's a cliché, really, and I'm not here today to rehash those old potatoes (potatoes of hate, that is). But seeing as this is a MANLY site, I thought I'd let you guys in on something--LA is NOT For The Manly.

DV EXPOSE: Our Loophole Culture

There was a time, not too long ago, when a very small percentage of the population exploited loopholes in our society to get ahead. These days, just about EVERYONE exploits the loopholes and takes the shortcuts when possible. You can't keep up without "hacking the system." Which is all fine and good... until something (namely our country's progress) gets hurt.

DV EXPOSE: The Dark Side of Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a time for family; it's a time to "reflect;" it's time to, well, give thanks for stuff. And to eat, of course. But just because it's a fun-lovin' holiday doesn't mean that bad stuff doesn't happen on Thanksgiving (either because of, or in spite of, the holiday). With turkey day coming up this Thursday, we thought it'd be fun to explore the DARKER side of Thanksgiving. *Cue "Tales From The Crypt" Music*

DV EXPOSE: Lawsuits Are Turning Our Kids Into Pussies

There was a widely circulated story last week about a girl getting in trouble at school for giving her friends a hug. While this story seems like a preposterous aberration, it's actually just a part of a pattern that's forming in America--some school district enforces a law because they're scared of lawsuits and then inevitably some perfectly normal, nice kid breaks the rule and is made into an example, thus scaring all the other kids. Soon enough, we have a country full of weak-willed pussies...all thanks to "frivolous" lawsuits that just need to go away.

DV EXPOSE The Security Engagement

Much ink is spilled on the problems with marriages, with the rising divorce rate and the general smash-up of the family unit. There's a part of the whole "long term relationship" problem that never seems to get exposed, however; my qualm today isn't with people getting divorced. It's with people getting engaged.

DV EXPOSE: Your Comedy Troupe Sucks

The internet has done a lot of good. I can order my pizza without having to make any human contact. I can anonymously email ex girlfriends their own naked pictures just to be a complete ass. But with all the good comes some bad too. One of the negative aspects of the 'net (as the kids call it) is how easy it is for horrible comedy troupes to broadcast themselves for all to see.

DV EXPOSE: Amateur Psychoanalysts

Sigmund Freud didn’t invent psychiatry, but he did make it really friggin’ popular. While most of his theories have been abandoned by modern day psychiatrists, his impact as a populizer of the profession has been deep. Oh, so deep. And the worst byproduct of this impact? That everyone and their mom is an amateur psychoanalyst now. Yeeesh.

DV Expose: Internet Doctor Jay Parkinson

Much ink (both real and cyber) has been used on Dr. Jay Parkinson, the infamous “internet doctor,” who diagnoses patients over IM and keeps a regularly updated blog. When you first hear about the doctor’s cheap services, he seems like a saint, plain and simple. But when you delve deeper into his presence online, things quit seeming quite so rosy. Hmmm…

My Fake Mom

I just found out I have two moms. No, my dad didn’t belatedly tell me he got remarried—that’ll happen the same day you’ll find a lady in the white house!! Not THE White House…that could happen. I’m talking about the white house at the end of my block…no lady’s goin in there! But, yeah…I have two moms. Let me explain…
