For your listening pleasure, “Perfect Night,” in which Sarah Silverman recounts the benefits of skipping the club for the couch.
Because this is a Silverman production you can expect references to bong hits and self pleasuring. Bet you didn’t expect Will.i.am, though.

Bar Mitzvah boy Jorel rocks out to Queen, Psy in new video invitation
Posted by Jay Firestone
Jorel (Youtube)Embossed letters, gold envelops, weird RSVP cards with unnecessary texture, and of course, the obiligatory "kiddish luncheon to follow."
Whatever happened to traditional bar mitzvah invitations?
Granted, I haven't received an actual bar mitzvah invitation in quite some time, but it seems a new method for transmitting a request for attendance is video...music video.
Jorel is the latest young man to digitally invite his guests. A few weeks ago, we saw Daniel's save the date, featuring "Shaq and Barkley" (now at over 375k views).
This time, Jorel is playing off tracks from Queen and a little Psy...and it's not that bad, especially when he hits "Bohemian Rhapsody."
BTW if this trend becomes a real thing, the U.S. Post Office is in for a HUGE loss...I mean, imagine how much revenue they get from the invitation business...

I am Jewish
By Andrew Lustig
I am the collective pride and excitement that is felt when we find out that that new actor, that great athlete, his chief of staff... is Jewish
I am the collective guilt and shame that is felt when we find out that that serial killer, that Ponzi schemer, that wife beater... is Jewish
I am the Jewish star tattooed on the chest of the teenager who chooses to rebel against his parents' and grandparents' warnings of a lonely goyim cemetery by embracing that same Judaism and making permanent his Jewish identity

Nice Jewish Guys Calendar 2013 [VIDEO]
Posted by JewishJournal
Nice Jewish Guys 2013. Image from YoutubeIt's official. You can finally toss out last year's free Jewish wall calendar (I'm sure the Seidenstein Brothers Funeral Parks and Mortuary will understand).
Introducing the Nice Jewish Guys Calendar 2013, the latest in an ongoing series by Adam Cohen. In what looks like a collection of JDate's finest bachelors, the Nice Jewish Guys Calendar offers a different mensch for every month of the year.
Downright sexy mixed meets deviated septum.
WARNING: Buying this calendar may increase your urge to go to that young adult mixer this Chanukah.
Huffpo has the story:
Cohen, the TV Producer of Food Network’s Cupcake Wars, got the idea for the calendar in 2010 after joking with friends about how calendars only feature sexy firemen or pin-up style babes.
Now he feels that nice Jewish guys are finally getting the attention they deserve.
“What happened was that I realized I was now carrying the torch for all the nice guys who get passed up in the bar, are still good to their moms, and are a good catch, but the women just don't know it yet.” He told BWB.The 12 chosen ones are a combination of friends of friends, people who answered online ads, and even some who auditioned.
Those who were too good-looking got turned away for lacking that je ne sais quoi, according to Cohen.
Read the rest here and watch the promo video below. And don't forget to check out the calendar. $14? Such a bargain!
