7 pervy things:

"Having the Playboy logo proudly displayed anywhere on your car..." (Right on!)

"Being surrounded by beautiful women makes a man look hot, but being surrounded by pictures of beautiful women who don't even know he exists, makes him look like a loser."

Yep, it's true, guys. This is saaaaaaaad. Don't do it.

There already was a free 411 service. It's 1-800-Free-411. Not that I don't welcome another option in that space, but they were beaten to the punch. I'll have to try and see which one is better.

Here's a question. Which is pervier?

1. Having a Playboy logo somewhere on your person.
2. Buying one for your female SO and having her wear it around.

I've been using Free 411, and it's not bad, but you are subject to ads. I've used both and Google's service is (so far) better.

BTW - Goog only does business listings. I don't remember what Free-411 does.

On perviness, check out the comments from defensive, pervy, whiny males in response to that article.

Not having a sense of humor doesn't make a man a perv, but it does make him dead boring.

Free-411 does business and residential.

I'll have to go read the comments. Wonder if anyone tried to defend the repeated, 'accidental' breast touch.

Of course they did, Brian. It was all her fault for standing too close and invading his personal space. She should have moved away from him. (I don't remember her saying that the guy's legs were broken, but evidently it would have been too much to ask for him to back off himself. Or tell her she was too close. Or just say "Sorry, I can't seem to stop groping you but come on, look where my hands are, it can't be avoided.")

The people who criticized that (clearly at least meant to be slightly humorous) post ought to have asked the women they know whether they agree that the described behaviors bestow an aura of perviness on a guy.

Then I realized that those guys probably haven't actually communicated with a woman face-to-face before, or if they had they didn't listen to the responses they got.

Of course, who expects a meaningful response to grunts, staring, drooling and wolf-whistles?

I have to admit, I was shocked at the responses. If you are that bothered by the post, why would you even give the satisfaction of a response. In my mind, that would let the author know that she hit a little close to the mark. I mean, seriously. "You were standing too close?" Even if that were true, if I brushed someone's breast legitimately by accident and it was due to proximity, I'd take a step back.

Hey, it was her fault for having those things in the first place! If she didn't want them touched, why didn't she bind them, or come out in her burka?

I actually dreamed about "accidental" breast touches the night after I read that blog (and posted to it).

How many of the offended men go out in sweatpants or PJs? Hmm...
