Back in May I posted this ad for the sole reason that it featured Gremlins, my all-time, beyond-all-reason favorite 80's obsession. I shouldn't have blown my load so prematurely, because this entirely fan-made Gremlins video is a hundred times more impressive...and probably cost about one-millionth as much to make.
Bonus: the guy responsible, Sasha Feiner, is a) a massive dork, b) actually totally cute, and c) French! For a making of clip and an interview with Feiner, click here.
Fey Friends would like to an extend an old-fashioned birthday message to America's most elderly presidential candidate since the beginning of time. Born in 1936, our antediluvian friend John McCain turns 72 today! John, how does it feel to be older than 91% of America?
Let's take a look at what else was going 72 years ago:

Let's take a look at what else was going 72 years ago:
- The Triborough Bridge opened
- Gay sexx was really secret-y
- FDR was reelected
- Porky Pig premiered
- The Hoover Dam was completed
- Gone With the Wind was released
- The cost of a gallon of gas cost 10 cents
- A loaf of bread cost 8 cents
- A ladies swimming costume was $6.95
- No Project Runway

This is some really nice, hi-qual video of My Bloody Valentine at Japan's Fuji Rock Festival. I'm taking Pitchfork's word for it that you're not going to find a better-sounding clip from their reunion tour.
All the way back in February, Bmad posted this item about Friday Night Lights megahunk Taylor Kitsch and our web traffic immediately soared up into the high teens. THE HIGH TEENS!!!
So you can imagine my delight when an exclusive, never-before-seen NUDE PHOTOGRAPH of Taylor Kitsch, along with several other pictures of NAKED AND TOTALLY NUDE MALE CELEBRITIES, fell into my lap earlier today. And I am being so kind as to share them all with you!
Destination: 100 PAGEVIEWS!

Today is the 88th anniversary of the certification of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote. In honor of this historic achievement...
Glamour magazine salutes Hillary Clinton this month with a photo spread featuring her wearing a rainbow of pantsuits from fire-engine red to light lilac. The headline reads: "Hillary, we loved your pantsuits!"'
Glamour pokes good-natured fun at Clinton, but the spread is a tribute to the woman who won 18 million votes in the Democratic presidential primary. The real message is, "You go, girl. You made all of us proud."
I'm dying to see what she'll be wearing tonight! Maybe something like that little HEATHER number, second from right?!
Remember this classic spat between fey legend Gayle King and her best friend Oprah Winfrey about the meaning of Paul Simon's "Graceland" on their unforgettable road trip? I sure do. Thank god they finally resolved this dispute and lived happily ever after!
As the Wikipedia page puts it, the gameplay for this Sega Genesis adaptation of the Michael Jackson movie "is focused on finding children."

Last night, Matthew Mitcham, the only openly gay male athlete at this year's Olympics, won the gold medal for diving. But you wouldn't know it from watching NBC, aka the No Buttboys Channel.
NBC did not mention Mitcham's orientation, nor did they show his family and partner who were in the stands. NBC has made athletes' significant others a part of the coverage in the past, choosing to spotlight track athlete Sanya Richards' fiancee, a love triangle between French and Italian swimmers and Kerri Walsh's wedding ring debacle.This is an absolute outrage. To calm you down, check out sexxxy speedo photos of Matt after the button pressy.

Add SNL alum Victoria Jackson (whose complete filmography Bobo could surely rattle off in an instant, but he's on vacation!) to the list of COMPLETELY FUCKING INSANE FORMER CELEBRITIES opposing Obama.
Of course, Ms. Jackson doesn't object to an Obama presidency on political grounds-- after all, she "doesn't want a political label." She just thinks he's the Antichrist! Well, just as long as she's not a Republican...
Writes Jackson:
In case you are curious who Victoria Jackson is, or how learned so much about the Antichrist, you can watch her official GOD STORY below.

Writes Jackson:
Obama bears traits that resemble the anti- Christ and I'm scared to death that un- educated people will ignorantly vote him into office. My mom likes him because his children are well dressed!Okay then!
You see, what bothers me most, besides that he is a Communist, and a whitey- hater, (although he is half white), is that he is a LIAR. He pretends to be a Christian and he incriminates himself everytime [sic] he speaks about Christianity. To lie about being a believer in Christ is very dangerous. Lightning could strike him at any minute! But seriously, he doesn't have a clue what the Bible says and yet he pretends to be a church- going Christian to win votes. That is sooooo evil.
I know my stance might keep me from LA jobs, since (almost) the whole town is liberal but, some time in a man's life, or a bleach blonde 49 year old woman's life, one must stand for what they believe in, and put truth before popularity.

Remember when RUPAUL had a teevee show? And it was really good? I remember watching it with my dad one time in a hotel while we were visiting colleges. Rupaul was doing a Little Miss JonBenet child beauty pageant. Like a broken record, my dad kept saying, "This is sick! This is sick!" To his credit, I think he was talking about the JonBenet jokes and not RuPaul herself.
Unfortunately I couldn't find the Little Mis Jonbenet episode online, so instead I am going to post this classic Ru interview with some very young Backstreet Boys, who recover from their palpable gay panic by serenading America's first Supermodel with a beautiful (and totally straight) a capella ditty.
OH, THE 90S!
Don't mind the unflattering photo! IRL Anna Faris is actually cute as a button and is a dazzlingly gifted COMEDIENNE to boot. Just as soon as I finish typing up this post me and James are heading over to Fundango to purchase tickets for her fresh-in-theaters movie "The House Bunny."
It's sure to be a miserable, unfunny piece of crap like almost all of her movies, but we don't care! We just love her that much.

It looks like the cheatey Chinese might be getting what they deserve. Members of the International Olympic Committee have finally gotten off their lazy anti-American asses and initiated an investigation into Chinese officials for covering up the real age of terrifying baby He Kexin, the underage gymnast who won the GOLD in the uneven bars this week.
The investigation was triggered as a US computer expert claimed today to have uncovered Chinese government documents that he says prove she is only 14 - making her ineligible to compete in the Olympics - rather than 16, as officials in Beijing insist is her age.
Mike Walker, a computer security expert, told The Times how he tracked down two documents that he says had been removed from a Chinese government website. The documents, he said, stated that He’s birth date was January 1 1994 - making her 14 - and not January 1 1992, which is printed in her passport.
Hopefully HE won't be killed by the Chinese government now. I wonder what this means for the 2012 team.
According to this post on gayagenda, the content of Bollywood films has seen a marked liberalization in the past few years, culminating in the soon-to-be-released gay-themed movie Dostana.
But based on the teaser trailer above, it seems more like a gay mistaken-identity/gay panic movie than a good, authentic gay film.* Which means India is at about the point Hollywood was around the early 1980s, when Victor/Victoria and the La Cage Aux Folles movies were hits.
What's that? I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry came out only just last year?
Nevermind!
*(By 'good authentic gay movie' I of course mean such films as Jeffrey, Trick, It's My Party, and Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss. Oh wait. Those movies sucked. Nevermind!)
I love anything that reminds people that, although adorable, domestic cats are still SAVAGE, AMORAL LITTLE BEASTIES.

The big campaign GAFFE in the news today is that McCain admitted that he's lost track of how many houses he owns. "I think — I'll have my staff get to you," McCain told Politico in Las Cruces, N.M. "It's condominiums where — I'll have them get to you."Oh la la. His "staff" will get back to us! Then Obama hit back. And after a tirade about how Obama worries about the price of arugula and loves resorts in that foreign getaway HAWAII, McCain's campaign settled on a winning response: POW!!! POW!!!
"This is a guy who lived in one house for five and a half years -- in prison," spokesman Brian Rogers told the Washington Post.He's a f*&%ing POW, you pussies!!!
A Prisoner. Of. War. Apparently John McCain has recently graduated from the Rudy 9iu11iani school of tastefulness.
What is wrong with the McCains? Owning dozens of homes is nothing to be ashamed of. This one is particularly klassy.
Thank God for Josh Marshall, who uncovered a fabulous video of one of the McCain Mansions. It's an exclusive to Inside Edition, hosted by Bobo's favorite journalist - DEBORAH NORVILLE. Check it out after the button pressy!!!

The Coquille Indian Tribe from Oregon has legalized gay marriage within the tribe despite Oregon's ban, voted into the state's constitution in 2004.
"How?"
Well, the Coquille Indian Tribe is federally recognized as a sovereign nation so it isn't bound to state laws like Oregon's shameful gay-marriage ban.
"How?"
The idea of Indian sovereignty is the product of many separate treaties and agreements that were made between disparate Native American tribes and the U.S. government throughout the 19th Century. A series of Supreme Court rulings in the 1820s, which have come to be known as the "Marshall Trilogy," hardened this concept into doctrine. In recent years, Judge Rehnquist and others have worked to chip away at this foundation. For more information about Rehnquist's attacks on the idea of tribal sovereignty, go here.
"How?"
Just click on the highlighted text--oh haha I get it!

Bobo, your epic butt post-- complete with obligatory Willie Aames reference-- reminded me of how far Mr. Aames has fallen. Before he was a drugged out spaz on Celebrity Fit club (pictured), Willie was a bona fide teen heartthrob, complete with an imaginary nude spread in Harry Bush's imaginary but fantastic MeatBeat magazine! Although it never actually happened, I count this shoot as Aames's most glorious achievement. Yes, even more glorious than when he smoked Tina Yothers in a footrace on Fit Club!I have posted the pictures, along with a few other totally dickly and NSFW MeatBeat celebrity spreads, after the button pressy.

This photo from (where else?) After Dark magazine shows diva Katherine Helmond with her then-husband, David Christian back in 1978. And guess what? They're still married! And according to her Wikipedia page, they got married back in 1962 when he must've been like 12 years old!
She is truly a fey icon and the COUGAR against which all other cougars must be measured.

Kiteboarding may be the world's douchiest sport, and kiteboarding during a hurricane may be totes stupes, but this is still sad/horrifying.
Remember how it pays off to work hard and play by the rules? Apparently this American axiom has never been translated into CHINESE. Once again, the cheatey Chinese women's gymnastics team aided by an idiot Australian judge stole another GOLD MEDAL away from Nastia Liukin and the USA. It happened just one day after Alicia Sacramone was robbed of a medal in favor of another Chinese cheater in a cloud of anti-American bias. So last night, Nastia "Al Gore" Liukin and He "Princess of the Crazy Uneven Bars" Kexin ended their routines with tied scores. But because of an idiotic tie-breaking formula, the terrifying baby HE got the gold. Apparently the bars weren't the only uneven things in this competition! This is an absolute outrage.
It all came down to the scoring from Aussie judge Helen Colagiuri, who gave Nastia Liukin a lower score than He by .3 points, a greater margin than any other judge. Australia's answer to Katherine Harris ought to be stripped of her credentials immediately.
ALSO, He is obviously 8 years old like everyone else on this cheatey team. Despite the fact that gymnasts have to be turning 16 in the year of the Olympics and that every other country has konstantly komplained, the International Gymnastics Federation refuses to do anything about the Chinese cheaters. Its Secretary-General said:
"We heard these rumours and we immediately wrote to the Chinese gymnastics federation. They immediately sent a copy of the passport, showing the age, and everything is OK. That's all we can check."
Oh please. This verification system is about as effective as the UN. Mark my words, the fight for justice is NOT over!!!
San Juan resident Angel Pantoja Medina, who was found dead last week under a bridge, had an unusual long-standing request for his own wake: that he be upright for the entire (apparently, three day long) thing.
That's him on the left. EEK!
Why he had such an unusual preference for how he wanted his death to be honored--or why a 24 year old would have cause to repeatedly express his funerary wishes--is not addressed by this MSNBC story.
