Just when we were totally bummed that the New York Times featured a shit story about the “Today” show (to which we still say: really?), someone goes ahead and — in middle America! — writes two blog posts that will save journalism.
Friend of SCFOM Nicholas Phillips wrote about pee. Glorious pee. Sure, he wrote this kinda ghey story, but pee is different. In that’s it’s the same for everyone! We all do it (except for Jesus). We can all relate! And he puts an end to a popular myth! Think pissing in the shower is bad? THINK AGAIN. IT’S AWESOME. Screen shot alert:
Know what’s even more awesome? HE WROTE A FOLLOW-UP POST.
We love this post so much we’re even going to post the totally gross video. And Phillips is correct: It’s NSFW. At all.
Now, just so we’re clear, we are not making fun of this story. (Stories, really.) We think Phillips may have saved journalism by writing something that’s funny, has social implications and is good ol’ advocacy journalism (go ahead and pee!). We only wonder how much better this story could have been if he’d advocating peeing in an Argentine chick’s closet.
I literally peed in my pants while reading this article…hey, it’s ok to pee in your pants, right?!
Yep. You ain’t cool…unless you pee your pants!
Oh good. That means I can start peeing in the shower!
…because I didn’t before.

So much to respond to here. Being ridiculed and commended in the same post, I would say, hurts so good – kind of like humping a non-ripe cantaloupe.
As for the Argentinian…I’m not one to piss and tell.
