You’d have to be living under a rock at this point to have not heard the deafening media howl brought on by Lititz, PA’s most famous star-crossed lovers. But even that isn’t enough for some of us. Throw a rock across your cubicle, and you’re likely to hit one co-worker or another creep-a-creepin’ on David [...]

Have you not got enough Wink in your life? Perhaps, due to lack of some very important Three 6 Mafia, you are perhaps not staying quite as fly as you could. Well, in anticipation of all things Hump Day, we give you:

Right? Gee, I wonder if there’s anything we could do to stop this oncoming ’80s revival that is [...]

Goodbye.

Will Bunch has officially lost his shit. Want the proof? He blames the death of 14-year-old Kara Borden’s parents at the hand of her 18-year-old boyfriend David Ludwig on homeschooling. And oh yeah, Rick Santorum is also to blame because he supports homeschooling. Come back to us, Bunchy. No? OK, take the buyout then! Be [...]

Quick students! What’s the easiest way to combine your hate for T.O., a knack for taking a joke too far and a shitty radio station in order to get arrested? Thud, would you like to put the answer on the board?
Thud, a sidekick of 102.9 WMGK’s John DeBella… was arrested by the Delaware River Port [...]

Monica Yant Kinney weighs the results of her own search for a new NJ state slogan against the $260K ad-wizard version. Their winner: “New Jersey: We’ll win you over.” Monica’s: “New Jersey: Everything you’ve heard is true.” But we kind of have to wonder if anybody at the Inky bothered to cut it a little [...]

“I f—ed up,” Mariano told Dougherty, other union officials and staffers in a meeting at Finnigan’s Wake, an Irish pub at 3rd and Spring Garden streets, a week after investigators in April subpoenaed records from his City Hall office.
Oy vey. Just one question: How in the hell did freakin’ Finnigan’s Wake become the corrdiors of [...]

Gentle readers, it’s been nearly a dog’s age since we broke out a new Cute Boy Alert, so you know this one must be a pretty strong one to come in over the transom and blow the cobwebs straight off the cute-omter like this. So behold: Ramona Cordova. Ramona lives in deepest SoLibs, and comes [...]

Eulogy after the jump.

Some days here at Philebrity, the skies just open up and throw us a gimme. Last Wednesday was one of those days, and God damn it if today isn’t another. Why? SEPTA trading cards, people. SEPTA fucking trading cards. Sez the Inky:
Want to rekindle those warm feelings of the seven-day SEPTA strike? How about a [...]

For all newspapers’ troubles recently - and the troubles are myriad - the oft-told tale of newspapers’ waning influence is just flat-out wrong. Rather than reaching and influencing fewer people, news organizations like this one are reaching and influencing more people than ever before.
Our friends who’ve studied psychology explained it this way: First, the patient [...]
