Taking up an austere few thousand square feet on Madison Avenue are the offices of the Pilot Group, a shadowy private investment firm run by Robert Pittman, the poor sap who took the fall for the AOL/Time-Warner merger. Of course, they're not really shadowy, just secretive and private and investy, and Bob Pittman is…
They say the first year is always the hardest for both marriage and websites, so it makes sense that when that mark is hit, one would want to go out and get shitfaced. Last night, the boys from Thrillist did exactly that, inviting perpetual troublemakers Intern Heather, shutterfly Kate, and dance-happy videographer,…
When you've got two separate e-newsletters dedicated to helping New York's least inquisitive former fraternity fellas figure out where to snag some trim you're bound to have the occasional coincidence: After all, there are only so many places in town a bunch of bankers can burn their expense accounts after a tough day…
• Tao Lin and Whitney Pastorek star in the world's most boring literary feud. [RODB]
• More sushi for Julie Buxbaum! [Above the Law]
• Flash mobs: The second generation is even douchier than the first. [Gridskipper]
• Former NYT neediest case not exactly helpful to the needy. [NYDN]
• New York is the new…
We couldn't help but notice that yesterday's edition of the UrbanDaddy newsletter (think Daily Candy for cocks) is frighteningly similar to today's edition of the Thrillist newsletter (again, Daily Candy for cocks). Both reviewed the Meatpacking District's latest addition, Pre:Post, which caters to patrons with drinks…
In case you've lost track of time, we'd like to remind you that it's mid-February, and if you've not already started, you're officially behind on organizing your super-sweet, totally bitchin' Hamptons share. Realistically, however, unless you're tossing around some serious dough, whatever you and your brahs secure…
Our early morning surfing:
Today's edition of fratty email newsletter Thrillist features the subject line "Ski in the City." Being wildly immature, we chuckled to ourselves and thought, well, that makes sense. It was only a matter of time before the Thrillist dudes, having already covered booze and easy sex in every possible context,…
• Prepare your feeble gullets and blue-collar livers for the triumphant glory of Trump: The Booze: The Poster! [Defamer]
• Times Boldfacer Campbell Robertson does his best to grapple with the disintegration of Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey's marriage, especially since Simpson told Boldface in September that her…
We have no idea why today's installment Thrillist prominently depicts one jocky guy grabbing another jocky guy by, essentially, the nuts. But it makes us like this typically gratingly fratty newsletter much more than usual.
• So who's the well-hung former wrestler turned successful gay writer trolling for bottoms on Craigslist? Guesses include Augusten Burroughs, Alex Halberstadt, Aaron Krach, Brad Gooch, and, um, Gore Vidal. One of you is going to have to go undercover and figure this shit out, for real. [Gawker]
• We can't get enough…
Today's issue of manly-man email newsletter Thrillist goes where very few men will openly go and addresses the issue of men and makeup:
Yesterday's Thrillist:
Yesterday, we lamented the existence of Thrillist, an email newsletter catering to Golden Tee-playing Murray Hill boys and their love of drinking and humping. In particular, we're frustrated by the lack of a comparable newsletter for ladies and/or Gays (save for the overly-precious Daily Candy), and we suggested…
We're reluctant to admit it, but we've been following online newsletter Thrillist more closely than anyone without a closet full of striped button-downs ever should. And yet? We're completely transfixed by its evil, fratty brilliance. It manages, four times every week, to find a different way of promoting the finest…
DailyCandy's fratboy brother Thrillist has a quiz today, which answers all those lingering questions about our missing Office box set. Now, next question: Which is the biggest sin?
