Wtf... Depression cartoons?
This kind of blows my mind. This Betty Boop cartoon from the great depression says a lot about what we have to look forward to in the next couple of years. This video gets better and better. Wait til the very end for the very weirdest part.

An experiment in manners.
So hanging out at Matchless bar in Greenpoint last night, a couple of friends and I came to a harsh realization... Most of the people who live in Brooklyn apparently have no manners and seem to have grown up in a barn. You see, Matchless has an outdoor area with 2 doors located directly next to a couch. A couch that my friends and I were sitting on. It seemed that people who went out to smoke cigarettes were incapable of closing the door behind them. Assholes. It is fucking snowing outside! So we decided to take action. A friend wrote this note, then posted it to the door with chewed gum. Surprisingly people actually read it, and then... Shut the door behind them! The best part of this was that the barback collecting glasses came over and asked if we had posted the note. Scared that he would be angry we reluctanly said yes. He then proceeded to give us all high fives and came back with a round of free drink tokens for us all! Anyway, the moral of this story is, shut the fucking door behind you asshole! Or maybe it's next time you are at a bar post rude notes and you might get some free drinks.
Guess Who's Back?!
Flight Of The Concords new season will be out soon, and Funny or Die posted the first episode today! Oh how I've missed these guys.

Does Penn like Men?
Penn Badgley, of the Notch's all time favorite show Gossip Girl, has a spread in the new GQ. Yes, there is more in the issue than a nude-for-no-reason Jen Aniston. Sorry, Penn, but biting your cheeks to protrude your cheekbones, and making that face while your fondling your balls makes you look gayer than Chace Crawford. I know, I know, Penn and Blake and her shelf of boob are in lurve, but it looks like gayface is contagious. Lets just hope that Ed Westwick doesn't catch it... lets call it the jitterbug.

The Best Christmas Song
This version of "Little Drummer Boy" by Johnny Cash surpasses all other Christmas songs, because its good enough to listen to year-round. Something about listening to this song, looking at that creepy ass photo, and this cold NYC weather makes me want a Hot Toddy. Or maybe I'm just always looking for an excuse to day drink...

Hey, All You NYC Bikers...
Considering North Brooklyn is the most dense biking area in the city (and home to the Daily Notchettes), it's important to keep us, and our fellow bikers safe, so please go here to save the Kent Ave bike lane.
Thanks!

This One's For You Felice
The Notch's Felice has left us, and the city (gasp!), to attend her brother's wedding in Orlando this weekend. Congrat's brother of Felice!As such, she has decided to play a fun little game - spot the tribal tattoo. She will make note of, and hopefully photograph, how many tribal tattoos she sees while down there and will update you lucky readers with those numbers. I'm going to go ahead and guess the number will be ridiculously large, she is in central Florida.
This picture reminded me of Felice's quest - so Felice, I hope you see ones as good (if not better) than this guys tribal sun belly button work! Happy hunting!

Planned Parenthood Sells Gift Cards
Hey moms, don't know what to get your sexually active teenage daughter for Christmas? What better than giving the gift of pap smears, and the glorious relief that comes with getting clean results! They even work towards morning after pills and abortions. I wonder if they expire, forcing recipients into unprotected one-night stands to get their money's worth. Well at least there will be lots of happy, clean notches in Indiana this HOliday season.
Barney's is off their rocker.
So I come home the other day to find the new Barney's catalog on my kitchen table. This is usually a decent event for me because I like to drool over the pretty shoes and handbags that I most certainly can not afford. But this time I notice that the cover of the catalog says "Have a hippie holiday!" This was interesting to me because normally I don't consider $2000 boots in any way a hippie item. Now intrigued, I flipped through the first couple of pages only to come upon the above items. Now, for those of you who cannot read the tiny print. Here is what it says;
"The ultimate hippie jewels. Necklace of fancy handcut diamonds $588,680."
Yes, you just read that right. I think it's safe to round up in this situation and say this necklace costs $600,000! Excuse me? I'm sorry, but in what world does spending over half a million dollars on a necklace make you a hippie?! I'm pretty sure this is actually the exact opposite of every moral and value of true hippies. This is one of the worst Barney's campaigns I've ever seen. The whole point of shopping there is luxury and looking at pretty, but ridiculously over-priced goods. When they start to sell stuff that looks like a 6 year old made it, but actually costs a bajillion dollars, they are missing their target market by alot.
Peace and love

This Is For The Fattys
Ummm, a bacon cheeseburger on a glazed donut? Gross. I think my arteries are clogging up.
Paula Deen clearly thinks it's awful too - it definitely looked like she was gonna vom after taking a bite of that breakfast burger.
Operation Humble Kanye
Stephen Colbert's ego is rivaled only by Kanye's even bigger ego. So when Colbert found out that Kanye's new album, 808s and Heartbreak is #1 on iTunes and his new Christmas album is only #16, he had a message for Mr. West.
"With all the auto-tuning on your records, you're barely the voice of your own album. You want to be the voice of a generation? Get in line."Hahaha, I love Colbert. And of course, Colbert's album, A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All, deserves to be #1. So to ensure that, he wants everyone to go on iTunes this Wednesday (12/3) at 5pm EST and buy his record.
Seeing as how my mom looooves Colbert, I'm seriously considering getting his album for her for Christmas. So yeah, I'm on team Colbert, sorry Kanye.

Extra Holiday Stuffing
So this thanksgiving we all got a little extra stuffing, or at least a good laugh. When this little clip of afternoon delight started circulating through the office ichat we were all shocked, appalled and delighted by the scandalous video but none of us ever imagined it would become quite so wide spread. This is just one of the many reasons people love their iphones you never know what you'll stumble upon on a friday afternoon.
For all those notches out there I think there is an important lesson to be learned here, keep your pants on, at least in the office.
Partini knows how to Party
Hellotini! So this is an unintentionally hilarious commercial for an "adult board game" that is sure to rock your party. It includes such games as "What not: Don't say what it is, say what its not! Will your team guess 'Hot Dog' when you say 'It's not a cool cat!'?" The lame, (oopstini!) I mean game, has gotten two rave reviews on Amazon. One customer even referred to the commercial as a "spectacular ad campaign" that he could not resist. So he rushed out to his nearest adult toy store to purchase the game, only to be disappointed and disgusted.
So if you throw awkward parties in your white-decor home, you peaked in college, enjoy shopping at The Limited, and are into guys in leather pants (check him out at the 20 second mark, talk about cool cats) then pick up Partini... and rage.

Camilla Belle's wandering notch.
This might be bad news for our Lynnie G. Looks like Camilla Belle has snagged not one, but TWO of Lynn's celebrity crushes. She was seen around town in LA with Twilight's Robert Pattinson (sigh.) But Camilla is dating Joe Jonas who is openly saving himself for marriage. Hmm I wonder if her notch is wanting a bit more from Rob than Joe is giving?
Another Reason Not to Work Out
I am always looking for new reasons to stay away from gyms, and what better excuse than to avoid being shot at? Last night in Bay Shore, Long Island two men working out at a Planet Fitness were hit by a stray bullet from a rifle. Apparently they were not the target, and neither was the gym. Looks like these two unidentified male suspects need to work on their aim, I mean the gym didn't jump out at them unexpectedly, right? So I think I'll prevent my guns from gunshot wounds and stick to my daily naps after work. Cause when your workin on your fitness you don't want to become a witness.
Walk of Shames Are The Best
This is pretty much the best commercial ever made. And I'm not just saying that because our very own Alex wrote it. And art directed it. Yep, she's the shit.
