We Read The Weeklies
Okay, we've had a week to get over ourselves for the SF Weekly Best Blog thing, we're back to normal now.
Last week's winner, the East Bay Express. Trippy Slow Wave dream comic! They could make a movie outta that! Bottom Feeder: Operation Rescue's at it again in Rockridge. Cover article: viral marketing in Emeryville with Internet scavenger hunts. Event of the week: Girlstock! With Von Iva! Performance (B)ART. Search the EBX food listings for organic. UK grime is overrated. And Savage Love: STDs (isn't that the band with Scott Weiland?).
The Guardian: Tim Redmond says stem cells development will oppress. Hey, have you thought about public power this week? A frightening ad in the front section entitled "The Evolution of the Marina Woman" (so much flowy hair!) -- we think maybe the target demographic of the Bay Guardian is not the audience that SF Optics is aiming for. SF is anti-bike. SFist is ambivalent. Annalee Newitz on the Real ID act. The sex columnist with a letter about a lady who loves her parrot (fake? real? you decide!). And the cover article: movies by that guy who got kicked out of the SF Art Institute for making disturbing movies.
Come up with a phrase for the female version of "cock block," and the pick of the week, after the jump!
The SF Weekly: Matt Smith is still angry about PUNI getting investigated by the SF Human Rights Commission, so Christi Hegranes also gets to run with her investigation into problems with the HRC's report on Badlands (they looked at things that happened after the statute of limitations had run). Cover article: foreign science students are getting a raw deal from post-9/11 America. Meredith Brody meets R.W. Apple -- so much ego, so little time! And can you come up with a phrase for the female version of "cock-block"? (box lock? sugar-wall stall? We like "muff muffle" okay.)
Pick of the week: In a squeaker, the EBX for the second week in a row! While we're not into viral marketing through Internet scavenger hunts, you might be. We're still trying to think of the ladies' cock-block synonym, though. Milkshake? Squeezebox? Help us out here!
