An Ode to Ultimate Frisbee

This ode to ultimate frisbee really gets going towards the middle, when the singer says it's better than hacky-sack, and around the time there's a picture of a guy playing ultimate frisbee in a swamp with a crocodile. Hahaha. (Incidentally, I'm the type of person who, if you throw me a frisbee, I will cover my face with my hands and run away. Yeah, one of those really fun outdoorsy types.)

Bro vs. Douchebag: Is There a Difference?

Listening to Phish. Wearing popped collars. Playing ultimate Frisbee. Flaunting the number of chicks bagged.

Are these the traits of a bro or a douche? Is there a difference? While pondering this question, you might want to pop over to BroBible.com, a "brocial" networking site created by 24-year-old Doug Banker, a hesitantly self-identified "bro" who wants to redeem bro culture from being demonized as douche culture. (Sample post: "What's More Bro: Oral or Anal Sex?")

Last year when the site was still under construction, he had this to say about the distinction: "[A] bro is just someone who likes to go out and have a good time, who likes to stay connected to their group of friends while expanding their horizons. It’s not one of our goals to make the word ‘bro’ more positive. But yes, hopefully, that will happen."

So is there a difference between a bro and a douchebag? Does it matter? Do you wish those words would go away? Inquiring minds want to know!

SNL's 2007 Douchebag Awards Night

Three dudes, three judges (including a spot-on Sharon Osbourne by Amy Poehler) - one douchebag award. Who will win? Well, if I were judging, I would give it to Chris. As much as Jake is a 9 on the douche-o-meter, Chris is a major 10. How could he not be? For his talent, he "played ultimate frisbee while riding on a Segway while singing the music of Jamiroquai." Hands down winner! If I were teaching "The Semiotics of Douchebaggery" in graduate school, this video would be on the syllabus.
