pic o’ the day: bagel goatse

That's hot!

That’s hot!

This came from Flickr via BoingBoing via Gawker, upon which we are keeping a beady, but encouraged eye since Jessica left (speaking of which, must surf over to VF and see if she’s posted any kittens or bitchy stories about Graydon Carter. Or Kurt Anderson; that post might actually be allowed to live). We’ll leave it to them to set the context, geographical and otherwise:

If you don’t instantly recognize this image, then you’re obviously not familiar with the goatse phenomenon, for which you should be extremely grateful. If you’ve already been corrupted, however, you’ll be grimly pleased to note its appearance in Park Slope, land of gaping assholes.

anti-smoking ad in Vancouver

I’m sorry I missed this: no idea when it was here, but I’m down that way all the time. Very odd I didn’t see it and annoy my smoking and in-denial friends about it. This is from Creative Advertisements Around the World Hemmy.net (turns out eglobe1.com took it from the original author {now linked here, see comments} and didn’t credit it), via Fark.

Nonsmoking ad

This is an advertisement found in Vancouver during the National Non-Smoking Week. The car was placed at the Vancouver Art Gallery and the message reads

‘Death from car accidents: 370
Death from smoking-related causes: 6,027
Quit now before it kills you.’

I’ll explain later: commemorative Black Friday the 13th banners

Wanker, but really important wanker

the cat lady raps

and sings. Off-key.

It’s true what Tina Turner said, that rap is a great thing because now you don’t even have to be able to sing to be a rock star. Very egalitarian.

And Jessica Delfino can’t sing, really, well, she’s about as good as I am, meaning she can’t sing, really, but she sure can write a catchy tune, and she raps pretty well for a white girl. As the fellow who put it on YouTube says, “Such a pretty face, such a dirty mouth.” Definitely a winning combination, now as ever.

But is it porn?

I came to the vid from The Apiary, who titled it “Dicks at YouTube Don’t Care Much For Jessy Delfino’s Vagina” via Gawker, who headlined it “YouTube Hates Vaginas.”

CONTROVERSIAL SINGER-SONGWRITER Jessica Delfino‘s latest chart-topping single[sic, I’m supposing this is a joke], “My Pussy Is Magic,” has been expunged from the pages of YouTube. The video–a virtual palimpsest [also sic; I have no idea what they think this word means] of stark images of Jessica tunefully fluttering in front of stark images of vaginas–was banned this morning.

And restored in a coupla hours. There’s something to be said for being Gawked and Aped and (as would have happened inevitablybut is at this moment only waiting in the wings) BoingBoinged and Farked.

As Jessy said on YouTube:

If God had meant us to be naked he would’ve made us that way. Naked women is not porn according to law, so YouTube should move to Iran where it is a crime. Neo-Nazis are bad people.

She may be a little upset. And from her blog:

This morning, “My Pussy Is Magic“, the new dance hit video by me, Jessica Delfino, was removed from Youtube.com for being considered “inappropriate”! Inappropriate my ass! If anyone saw the video, they saw lots of vaginas. Since when are vaginas inappropriate? I came out of a vagina, and so did the makers of Youtube.

The video had reached 20,000 views, and then was removed this morning.

Youtube was bought by Google, and now my poor, rising video was crushed. Does Google censor art!? Write to them and ask!

Well, that pussy is back. Power to the Pussies!

Pussies want to be free.
