A new study out of the University of Texas at Austin suggests that men are attracted to women who appear drunk, stupid, and sleepy, because they’re much easier to take home for a one-night stand. The study tested 76 male students, which I guess is enough to make sweeping generalizations about mankind, and found that they were more likely to rate a woman as “attractive” if she displayed qualities that made her look easily exploitable.

The theory behind this is nothing new: men possess these bountiful ball sacs full of manseed and they need a place to put it. Women are usually more cautious (since, ya know, that whole “childbirth” thing..), and therefore men are more apt to seek out the ones who have their defenses down. And, like, it’s pretty tough to say no when you’re sleeping… amirite…?!?

Basically what you need to be taking away from this study is nothing. It’s an observation someone took and associated with a biased theory to make it look like science. If you’re going after sleepy girls, you’ll probably continue to do so. If you weren’t, I don’t recommend trying it out just because 76 men in Texas did. Something tells me it might come off a tad rapey.

Free speech covers a lot, but there are a handful of things that are never cool to do. Tops among them: Saying it’d be ‘tempting’ to shoot President Obama, a lesson UT-Austin College Republicans president Lauren Pierce (a girl!) is now learning firsthand.

Pierce’s tweet, seen to the left via the Texas Tribune, said:

Y’all as tempting as it may be, don’t shoot Obama. We need him to go down in history as the WORST president we’ve EVER had! #2012

The incident occurred shortly after the arrest of a mentally ill Idaho man named Oscar Ortega accused of shooting a bullet at the White House.

Pierce told the Tribune that the whole situation “is stupid,” saying she “was essentially just saying any kind of assassination attempt is just stupid.”

It’s unclear what the punishment for Pierce may entail.

Personally, I’m just inspired by the fact that an attractive blonde in her early 20s is just as capable of idiotic anti-American and borderline racist missives as people twice her age in the Tea Party. It really shows you how fast and dumb kids grow up these days. Brings a tear to my eye.
