Flashback: John Waters Announces No Smoking in Theater
Of course, while he does this, he's sucking on a cigarette and marveling at how much he's enjoying it! This director of cult classics such as Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble and Polyester takes us back to a time when it was even imaginable that someone would light up at the movies. (Late '70s, early '80s?)

Call Girl Business Cards Get Their Own Art Exhibit
Wallpaper magazine has dedicated its July issue to sex and art — two things we love at Très. Tart cards, with their clever fonts and splashy colors, especially caught my eye.
Tart cards are basically business cards for sex.

Tyranny Has Come to Our Shores With Potato Day
Jon Stewart called out a few high-profile Republicans last night who are terrified of President Obama. One example: conservative Andrew Breitbart thinks Obama somehow made his kids' school change "St. Patrick's Day" to "Potato Day."
Introducing: The SnugWow!
It was only a matter of time before The Snuggie and the Sham Wow mated to become the vestment/absorbent towel of choice for couch potatoes everywhere! Why get up to grab a paper towel because you just spilled beer or nacho cheese sauce all over your Snuggie when you can just wipe up your mess with your blanket/towel/cult member's robe? I would draw the line at taking bathroom breaks from the comfort of your couch, though.

Manilow Ballads Ward Off Unruly Kiwi Kids
Christchurch city officials hope that playing songs like "Mandy" and "I Can't Smile Without You" will keep loitering teens away from its shopping district. These brats now "spread rubbish, spray graffiti, get intoxicated, use drugs, swear and intimidate patrons at the outdoor mall." I wonder if the city knew that Barry Manilow's music was considered "excessive force" by the FBI in the Branch Davidian showdown years ago with cult leader David Koresh.

I love the arguments for why you need the Snuggie (which is essentially a blanket with sleeves). Blankets are inferior, because "they slip and slide." And with a blanket, there's the risk that your hands can "get trapped inside" while you're on the couch watching the teevee.
Jerome Corsi, Author of Obama Nation Is Being Held in Kenya
The author of the controversial book Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality has been detained by Kenyan authorities. Jerome Corsi is being held under the claim that there's a problem with his work permit papers — he had been in the country to unveil his best-selling book to a Kenyan audience.
