Mind your faux pas!

A nice list of what to watch out for by country.

I'd love to hear faux pas in contention - spot any?

In most Arab countries, it is considered polite and a sign of friendship to hold hands when walking.

Is it ok to use my 'unclean' left hand or should I stretch my right hand across my body?

Someone has to use their left hand...;)

Hi Andrea. What I'm writing about has nothing to do with what you've written here, but I'm not sure how to email you, so this is simply a message to you. I am sure that this story will be of interest to you and to the Huffington Post (if they're not already aware of it). Please make sure Jonah reads it. I am Canadian (I've written to you on occasion before) and this story makes me feel so sad for you, our neighbours.

I should have mentioned that I heard of this story via Ron Slattery at bighappyfunhouse.com, my favourite website ever.

Thanks for the excellent work and resource. Nice work on top of that.

BuzzFeed
Roland S. Martin is about to have even more time to tweet. That's because CNN announced this afternoon that Martin, a contributor to the network, has been suspended indefinitely following a pair of homophobic tweets he wrote during last Sunday's Super Bowl (which, as BuzzFeed pointed out, were representative of a larger anti-gay pattern of his).
Deadspin has more regarding the authenticity of these photos that began circulating on this 4Chan board Tuesday afternoon. The whole thing is still kind of unsettling.
I would imagine he wiped the floor with the kids from "Modern Family," but who knows. He definitely has the biggest gun... Plus, Gary Busey has some thoughts on butterflies, Matthew Lillard is a big deal (in his own head), and ladies, Ice T wants you to try his "Dick Test."
