le love
Their first post was titled “WE’RE SO FAIRYTALE IT MAKES PEOPLE SICK,” but it seems as though Le Love has developed beyond the monotonous clichés of romance. This site is also strewn with heartache, both touching and nauseating; amusing posts detailing the desperation in break-ups. Le Love offers an array of empathy for you, you poor bastard, wallowing in your relationships past and brooding over your unrequited love for your TA. A recent post gave a recipe for a cutesy microwaveable mug-sized cupcake, but let’s be serious – in the throes of a break-up, you might just want the whole damn cake.

Dear Old Love is a collection of short notes written to people that the authors loved or liked, regardless of whether the affection was requited or not. All notes are posted anonymously, emailed to the curator Andy Selsberg, who has also published a collection of the notes in book format.
This week’s notes includes “Sometimes I wish I were a zombie so you’d love me as much as that video game.” The notes communicate the way that emotions are expressed in stilted, indecipherable ways, as conveyed by the note that reads, “When I gave you that burrito, I was saying that I wanted us to get back together.”
My personal favourite is the critical note: “I love my dog even though he doesn’t have a job, clean up after himself, have a driver’s license, or help out around the house. And he sometimes makes a mess on the floor. However, it was unfair for you to expect me to love you under those same conditions.”

Wrangler jeans may have inadvertently created the perfect web site for that quick, violent post-breakup cathartic release. Although you’re supposed to use the flash animations of their burly male models to imagine how Wrangler’s denim wear would look on you, it’s way more fun to use your mouse for the unauthorized purpose of throwing them around. Not only is this site nifty, but it’s also a great way to get out all that pent up frustration. Sexy.
