They came like a hallucination: two sock puppets babbling about pop and consumer cultures, sometimes ranting, other times singing songs of crafted nonsense like "Crescent Fresh," "Fake Blood" and "Rock and Roll Friends."

Bryan Kutner is an HIV counselor who shared his knowledge and experience with us for last week's "Please Don't Infect Me, I'm Sorry" story. However, Kutner has taken exception to the overall tone of the piece, so we invited him for a discussion (slash debate?) on HIV risk, prevention, stigma and what all else you want to ask him about.

The naturist community is a mysterious one. Participants frolic about their resorts, aging genitals exposed to the sun above and vending machines below, without a care in the world. But ultimately, we know very little about what goes on in nudist resorts and communities.

TMZ is currently boasting a picture of a very chilled out, vacationing, shirtless Paul Ryan. And it appears that Romney's running mate has got himself a six pack. Or does he? What are those? Do those rippling stomach muscles qualify as a six pack? Let's hash it out in the comments below.

Robert Anasi moved to Williamsburg in 1994 and spent more than a decade watching the neighborhood transform from an isolated and novel bohemia into the fully gentrified cultural monster that it is today.

His documentary, Craigslist Joe, chronicles his experiences on the road.

Neil Barofsky was at the very center of the U.S. government's response to the 2008 economic collapse. He spent more than two years, until March of 2011, as Special Inspector General for the TARP program, overseeing and monitoring government bailout funds. Now, Barofsky has written a ferocious book detailing how, he says, "Washington abandoned Main Street While Rescuing Wall Street." And he's here to take questions from you, the Main Streeters.

Ever wondered how reality shows get stocked with the characters who entertain you each week with their drunken antics, home-buying travails and/or deep sea fishing exploits? Now is your chance to ask a veteran reality show casting producer about the secrets of his craft.

It takes a special, sultry someone to read aloud E.L. James' 50 Shades of Grey. With all those "holy crap's!" and "Later, baby's," Anastasia's Steele's inner goddess requires a very specific kind of reading. (Hence the trending Twitter topic, #best/worst50ShadesAudioBookNarrator. For example, Stephen Hawking and Betty White.)

You're an educated, quick-talking, whip-smart son of a gun who prides yourself on maintaining a diverse group of friends who come from varying walks of life.

Proving once again that the US Military makes strategic decisions based on the rantings of the lunatic fringe, our post last week about the Marine Corps' "We teach black people to swim" ad prompted an article about the "controversy" in the Marine Corps Times, and a healthy discussion on the paper's online discussion boards. Sentiment among the ex-military commenters there is currently running 30-0 against the ad having a racial component. "In my life time, I've learned through life experiences, in order for a person(s) to make a comment such as this. That they are racial in one way or another," says one. He's right, you know. (UPDATE: Former gay porn star/ Marine and current conservative blogger Matt Sanchez adds: "Smearing the military is never a big enough issue for the Gawker, it's a reflex. Maybe if they "subtly" stereotyped gay males as promiscuous this issue would have warranted greater indignation.") [MCT. Watch the ad here.]
