Sure, we might not write in-depth cultural critiques of everything that makes a splash on pop culture’s radar every week, but that doesn’t mean we’re not talking about it around the Vv Magazine office watercooler. That’s why, every Friday, Vv Magazine’s editors roundup the stuff we loved, hated, debated, and obsessed over during the week that was with Vv’s Over-rated/Under-rated. We’re not ashamed to admit that we do more than just keep up with the Kardashians — we have office polls on what everyone from Bruce Jenner and Kate Middleton to Marc Jacobs and Justin Trudeau will do next…
Over-rated: Kim Kardashian goes blonde
Is it finally happening? The Keeping Up With The Kardashians crossover episode with Ice Loves Coco?

Under-rated: Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt coming to a TV near you
Tina Fey is back — as a writer, at least — in our living rooms once a week. Now we have that and Roll Up The Rim To Win to live for.
Over-rated: Slightly warmer than f*cking freezing days
You know what’s worse than having the coldest, most depressing, hope-draining, hermit-y winter on record? Having said winter and the odd relatively bearable day to remind you just how f*cking awful the other endless days are.
Under-rated: Clothing
Remember back in simpler times — namely the mid-2000s — when celebrities and celebutantes alike would have to make panty-free limo exits with paparazzi nearby seem “accidental”? No one cares anymore, as exhibited by Kim Kardashian who just wore a netted shirt with no bra like fishnet is the new underwire AND clothing. How dual-purpose! Check out “The Most Revealing Red Carpet Dresses Ever” for more… er… less fabric.
Over-rated: Binge-watching House of Cards Season 3
To the dick who tweeted the dramatic ending to House of Cards season 3 on Saturday morning, we are going to take something from you. We don’t know what. But it will hurt.

Under-rated: Reading entire articles (or even part of them) before commenting
When we posted our article “Confessions Of A Sugar Baby Seeking Arrangement” on our Facebook page, you wouldn’t believe the number of comments that poured in. We’d like to shout-out AMAZING Vv Magazine reader Darla Briggs who pointed out exactly what we were thinking while reading them and therefore wins the inaugural Comment of the Week award: “Fun read. The comments are funnier because it appears no one read the article. Everyone is insulting the girl. She was being straightforward and honest about her intention. The man, on the other hand, is the one lying and cheating on his wife. The gender inequality I see is in the public shaming the woman.”
Over-rated: Penises
Everybody who is anybody was talking about penises this week, including us in “Current Obsession: Average Penis Sizes.” Truth be told, besides contouring pubic hair so that “objects in mirror are closer than they appear,” there’s not much anyone can really do about penis size that isn’t drastic and risky.
Under-rated: Mars
You know what we can 100% confirm sucks? March! We’ve changed our mind — we really want to go to Mars. Exhibit A: “23 Reasons To Volunteer As Tribute To Mars One.”
Over-rated: Seeing Sia’s face
If #TheDress didn’t destroy us last week, the media’s ongoing obsession with discussing Sia’s decision to avoid the spotlight will. She doesn’t want attention, so of course this means the media’s brain has exploded: “Who doesn’t want attention?! Quick, let’s give that person attention before everyone else does.” Aye, there’s the rub. This week, Slate got up close and personal with her choreographer to find out more. Really? Just Google Image search and you can stop obsessing and let it be, guys. Please.
