Gawker: hot chicks with douchebags

Author Free to Call Women 'Hot Chicks,' Men 'Douchebags'

A New Jersey judge has revealed the secret to calling someone a "douchebag": Make it clear you're just kidding! That's why the Honorable Menelaos Toskos cleared the author of Hot Chicks With Douchebags of defamation.

Jay Louis, the creator of hotchickswithdouchebags.com, turned his blog documenting the couplings of attractive ladies with unattractive men into a book in 2007. He was sued, first by three of the hot chicks in question, and then by one of the douchebags.

Toskos, a New Jersey Superior Court judge, ruled that the women's photographs were "used for humorous social commentary" and that the book was "replete with obvious attempts at satirical humor." In his decision, he wrote that he had "carefully scrutinized" the work in question. We bet. The sad part of Toskos's decision: It comes too late to redeem the tired insult of "douchebag."

It's the best blog-to-book news yet. Remember the self-explanatory blog Hot Chicks with Douchebags, which was turned into a photo book (with commentary)? First, three of the hot chicks in question sued, and now one of the douchebags is suing the author and publisher, the Smoking Gun reports. "The plaintiff has been, and continues to be, the object of ridicule in that he... continues to be called a Douchebag by friends, acquaintances, coworkers, employers, and strangers alike." And here's his photo after the jump, as shown in the book. You be the judge.

Hahaha. Some New Jersey girls are pissed because they were caught on camera with douchebag Jersey guys! Three "Hot Chicks" are suing the author and publisher of the fine educational volume Hot Chicks With Douchebags, because they were pictured therein. It's destroyed their reputations, down there in Jersey! Because they were depicted as "females who date dubious men." Outrageous! Here are the actual plaintiffs in question:

Case dismissed. [The Smoking Gun]

Is former Powerset CEO Barney Pell the douchebag with these hot chicks?

One of the most important and profound visual chronicles of our times, Hot Chicks with Douchebags, may have found a photo of former Powerset CEO Barney Pell with a bunch of hot chicks. This character certainly shares the same taste in shirts, the same number of buttons loosed and the same liberal use of the hands that he demonstrated in an earlier photo with a hot chick and some douchebags. What say ye, is this Pell with a proto-goatee auditioning for a role in a sequel to A Night at the Roxbury?
