08/02: She's Just Not That Into You

This weekend sees the opening of the movie based on the hit book He's Just Not That Into You, a guide to helping today's single woman determine whether or not a potential love interest is really in it for the long run, or simply not serious about her. Featuring possibly the worst ensemble cast ever assembled (Affleck, Aniston, Barrymore, the undiagnosed midget from "Entourage," etc.), it will surely entertain and inform confused and lovelorn young ladies across the nation. But what about us dudes? Where is the book/shitty film adaptation to educate us on all the games that chicks play with our hearts? Where do we go to find all the answers? "The Pickup Artist"? Bret Michaels? Maxim? No, dipshit, you go to Pat Magazine, look at the title of the fucking article, it should be obvious.
