Another Queer Jewish Buddhist

Incontinental Baths: The Pee Pee Dance

How is it that this gay man has lived in NYC all this time and never gotten FUCT? This wild comedy troupe will be performing this Saturday night at Joe's Pub, and after seeing this oddball clip and a few others on their youtube channel, I just have to go.

Sunday Morning Music Video: Fagette

Saw this delightful pansexual romp as part of the short musical films at NewFest this last June. The singer has a boyish charm that reminds me of Ty Greenstein from Girlyman (my boygirl crush, go figure). Enjoy:

What was it like to be red headed in Japan?

This video with Rupert Grint was my experience on an almost daily basis. Of course, it doesn't show the opposite reaction, of people staring, pointing and shouting in Japanese "Monster!" which also happened with some regularlty. Usually at about 2am, after the bars closed.

Cigar Smoke Bukakke

What were they thinking?????

Well, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar...just not this time.

Hot Latin Bear Bares All For The Love of Snacks: Gay Fantasy Doritos TV Spot Gives Quiznos A Run For The Money

And I thought Quiznos had pushed the envelope on queer fantasy and straight queer fear with the "Scott Put It In Me" spot. Nope. Australian ad agency MAKE has just put out a spot for Mexicana flavored Doritos that follows the thoughts in the head of a young man who starts to eat the snack. He begins to have fantasies of a naked Mexican man rolling in Doritos a la American Beauty. He looks horrified at the contents of his own mind. Little does he know what's about to happen though, when his fantasy is made manifest right on his coffee table. This is positively surreal. And I sure wish I could see the sales figures of this product over the next few weeks.

Caption Contest: Weird Sexual Examinations — Did the ad agency have its head up its ass?

Cancer awareness is serious — and these ads get attention. But. I really don't know what to say about each of these ads. Each one on its own inspires a range of captions. Taken together they tell a story that, well, usually I have a lot to say about this sort of thing, but I am hoping readers will jump in and write some good lines.


Have a field day.

Varmints, Vermin, Vermints

Can you think of a more unfortunate name for an all natural breath mint from the great state of Vermont? Given that the federal government has a limit to the number of insect parts that can be found in candy. Or so I've heard. Given that confectioners glaze can actually be made from insects —since food grade shellac comes from the the lac insect there's no question that insects have been involved in the making of a lot of candy. For that matter, food grade shellac is applied to apples after they've been washed of pesticides, which also removes the natural waxy protection off the apple skin. So shellac is applied to protect the skin and give some shine. Gives new meaning to Gummi worms, eh?

Queer Product Watch: The Door Knob Cover

That's actually what the katakana says in this photo found on <3Yen.com: Doa Nobu Kaba. This goes to my very first experience shopping in Tokyo. I had just moved into my Western style apartment in Mita, and found that the oven was in severe need of cleaning. So I took my trusty Japanese English dictionary down to the local store and trying to put together two words to create the phrase "oven-cleaner" I came up with some very odd locutions that made no sense to the Japanese. So I threw up my hands in frustration and said in English, all I want is some oven cleaner. To which the clerk said, "Ahh, obun-kureena!"

Of course, it's true the Japanese use loan words all the time. In their own inimitable way. But this product, the door knob cover captures for me the Japanese obsession with keeping things clean and germ free. And it also captures my both silly and salacious imagination as a penis cozy.

Put it in me Scott

Okay, just how queer is this Quiznos commercial? Starring a toaster oven that is the bastard child of HAL9000, and a fast food clerk who's sexier than anyone I've seen behind the counter of a Quiznos.

Toaster: Scott, I want you to do something.

Scott: I'm not doing that again, I'm burned.

Toaster: We both enjoyed that. [product copy] Put it in me Scott.
It's over a foot of flavor...Say it Scott, say it sexier....

I hereby nominate "Put it in me Scott" as the best catchphrase of the year. And it's only March.

The Divine Feminine Meets 21st Century British Music Hall Rock & Roll Comedy

Easy now fuzzy little man peach, Old Greg is in the house. This is beyond description. If you've never seen The Might Boosh, or this particular episode, The Legend of Old Greg, you're in for a very wild ride that combines British music hall tradition comedy, rock & roll chaos comedy, the divine feminine and glitter rock plus funk and hallucinogenic insanity meeting the dark comedy of folktales. There, that was suitably incoherent. But I am not about to get into a scholarly deconstruction of something I love so much, it would only be vivisection, and Old Greg wouldn't like that at all. It's all here, and very very funny. I am only including parts 2-4. You can find it all on youtube of course, where you can also see a live version of the "hit single" from this episode, Love Games. Trust me, you want to see all three videos below. It will change your life forever.


Quick, make an assessment.
