Nightline Features Simple Pickup Artists
video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player I was watching Nightline the other night, and for some reason, they decided to do a segment on “pick up artists,” specifically Simple Pickup, a group of three mid-twenty-something-looking , Jason, Jesse and Kong – maybe because their videos have become a YouTube sensation, with over 10 million views since February of this year.

The Walking Dead: Glenn & Maggie Fall for Each Other
My first post on Glenn and Maggie’s “one night stand” on AMC’s The Walking Dead was a bit tongue in cheek, kind of stating that the only way an Asian American man could “get” a white woman was if we lived in a post-apocalyptic zombie filled world. In the past few episodes, we’ve seen Maggie really starting to fall for Glenn. In Episode 6 (Season 2), after Glenn saves Maggie from a “walker” (zombie) after [...] Continue »

However, no local governments have been willing to create these zones. This is a highly controversial matter and there are split opinions on this issue.

In addition to the legalization of red light district, a new amendment also proposes [...] Continue »
In a Post-Apocalyptic Zombie World, Asian American Man Gets White Girl
In television, the movies, or maybe even in real life, I’m sure we’ve heard the words, “Even if you were the last man on earth, I would never have sex with you.” Well, how about in a post-apocalyptic world full of zombies?
