Desonesto é feito
Desonesto Doctrine is officially closed.
We started this site with grand plans and a dozen willing writers. But, as most things go with blogs, people just got lost, busy, lazy and bored. Rather than keep the Desonesto limping along, Adam and I have decided to end things. Now.
This is our last post on The Desonesto Doctrine.
Thanks folks. We appreciate all your views, comments, likes, reblogs and...

Are parking tickets cheaper than parking lots?
Parking in New York City is an expensive pain in the ass. I know, I’ve had a car here for the past 7 years. Since most city residents don’t have driveways or home garages, keeping a car means you have 2 choices: 1. Park on the street. 2. Pay for a monthly space in a lot. Ditching your car in the Hudson is only an option for Jimmy Hoffa types. I know New Yorkers who put their cars in a lot or...

The Best Photographer on Instagram
By Adam Ferguson
The bulk of the photos on Instagram feature clouds and sunsets. I should know, I take most of them. And outside of the random dog pictures, or the barely-legal girls taking photos of themselves in the mirror while giving the duckface, it’s hard to find exceptional and consistently great photographers on Instagram. But there is one.
His name is ScienceHill_360 (or...

Rice Krispie Treat Art
They’re delicious, sweet, and filled with marshmallowy goodness.
They’re Kellogg’s Rice Krispie Treats. And, as it turns out, they’re easy to mold and sculpt.
Just see here.

Top Ten Rules for the Office Holiday Party
By Adam Ferguson
(I originally wrote this on YesButNoButYes, but I figured it was time to bring it back out.)
My intern keeps winking at me, rubbing her stomach and whispering “nine months” as she walks past. Lou, from accounting, dropped off a pamphlet on alcoholism on my desk, and there’s a pentagram burned into the carpet in my office. The day after an office holiday party...

America the Ignorant
By Adam Ferguson
Ah ignorance! Is there anything better than your whitewashing of history? Your infusion of misguided beliefs? Your self-centered head-buried in the sand ideals? Let’s face it, there’s a large part of this country that has absolutely no clue what they’re talking about. Take, for example, the recent Lowe’s controversy in which they removed their ads from...

Brand Memory
By Adam Ferguson
Because the main (and really, only) writers on this site also happen to work in the advertising industry, we’re always looking for ways to make our jobs more interesting. And since Don Draper made drilling your secretary passe in the late 60’s, it’s been an uphill climb every since. Luckily, Brand Memory attempts (and succeeds) to make advertising and...

Women Alleged Murderers Bang-O-Meter
By Adam Ferguson
Would I bang Casey Anthony? I’m not sure. Girl sure does like to party, and she’s just trashy enough to let you fingerbang her in the parking lot of a Ruby Tuesdays. But how does she stack up against other “alleged” female murders? I fed her data into our NASA-created Bang-O-Meter and came out with some results on a scale of 1 - 10.

Realistic Children's Drawings
By Adam Ferguson
You know those scribblings your 4 year-old made on that torn piece of paper that you insisted on hanging on your fridge? Have you ever stopped to think what those might look like if they were painted more realistically? Dave DeVries did and now sends them through his Monster Engine to create realistically painted images of children’s drawings.

It's a Riot!
By Adam Ferguson
As long as there are people, there will be riots. When Jesus landed his spaceship in Jerusalem, people went fucking bag-o-dicks insane. And even now when people want to live in a very small park on lower Manhattan and freeze their hemp-covered asses off, craziness ensues. And with all the riots, there will always be those 70 year-old neighbors who want you to keep the noise...

Tomato paste is a vegetable. Technically.
There are many ways for Congress to frustrate the American people. A high-profile failure to cut $1.2 trillion from the deficit, for example. But declaring pizza sauce a vegetable? That, it turns out, might work even better.
Congress passed a revised agriculture appropriations bill last week, essentially making it easier to count pizza sauce as a serving of vegetables. The move has drawn...
Men stare at boobs. Women stare at fingers.
While the study made the unremarkable discovery that men spend longer than women observing a woman’s chest, it also found that women spend much longer looking at the wedding ring on the woman’s finger.
The study was conducted by French company Miratech and used its eye tracking technology to track the eye movements of men and women when presented with the image.
Men look at the...

Lyin' Ass Bitch
By Adam Ferguson
In case you weren’t convinced that The Roots were one of - if not THE - best band in late night, their genius move on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night may push them over the edge. The Roots got creative with Michelle Bachmann’s walk-on music and played a track from the ska group Fishbone. That track’s name?

WatchYour “sad, depressing unless you’re a millionaire” video of the day.
How equal is the USA? Is it really 99% vs 1%? Actually, it’s more like 99.99% vs. .01%. This video from The Guardian’s datablog breaks down the numbers of rich vs poor. Like:
-the super rich - the top 0.01% of the population - own more of the national wealth now than at any time since 1929, just...

Save Community
By Adam Ferguson
One need only watch the first paintball episode of Community to see the genius of the show. It expands the idea of what a television show can be. It redefines the boundaries. And because the American public is more interested in whose dicks a group of over-privileged socialites are sucking on the E! network, great shows like Community never get their due. Hence, NBC has...
