I’m late to the part but yesterday The Awl imagined what a “The Awl” t-shirt might look like. But anyone with any real familiarity with the central nervous system of The Awl would know the below shirt is much more true to heart. Or, maybe this could be the version with STAFF printed on the back.

That heavily-bearded special forces trooper is making the rounds, on the cover of the latest version of the Medal of Honor video game series, Kill Some Ragheads, and used in a Facebook ad for “BE A CIA AGENT.”

Is the next style icon for Generation Kill Some Shit Iron and Wine’s Sam Beam?!

I can find something undermining to say about this for sure. But why try? Up by 35, one team lets a running back with down syndrome house a 50-yard run. There may be no crying in baseball, but this is football.

Depending on how old you are , “Contra” means two distinctly different things. If you’re of the Y Generation, it probably means an album by Vampire Weekend. If you’re of the X Generation, Contra is probably a Nintendo game you played all night long.

Jesus, one would think Village Voice’s Foster Kamer would have gotten better answers from Old Spice ad agency W+K after he did their PR person the favor of removing the post about that embarrassing W+K Bros Icing Bros memo.

Doesn’t W+K owe him an explanation of the pants thing?

SyFy, stand-alone justification for shelling out for cable?

I reviewed the Predators sequel at The Awl. Read It. In honor of the essay’s Predators 2 Desert Eagle mention, Danny Glover pops a cap after the jump.

There are no words….

Good lord. I mean… I mean…. what’s there to say about this Tweet? I’m at a loss.
