Once again, Kim Kardashian has made headlines for yet another magazine cover. This time she poses in an editorial spread for the Spring/Summer 2015 edition of LOVE magazine.

Read More Kim Kardashian & the Patriarchal BargainWith the highly anticipated release of the 50 Shade of Grey film only a week away everyone is either making plans to see it, had their tickets purchased 3 months in advance, or viciously rejecting even the idea of having to see a second of this film.

Read More #50DollarsNot50ShadesAnother year, another Super Bowl game, another round of obnoxiously sexist advertisements.
