Pajiba Love

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Here's some great cards you unfortunately won't be able to find at your local drugstore. (Gallery of the Absurd)

So anyway, a friend of mine just started this website to share and commiserate failed relationships and poor dating experiences -- and I can't think of a better day to give it some Love. (It Ended Badly...)

Hmm... I wonder if Josh Mayer is as big of a douchetizzle as John Mayer? (Celebslam)

Sarah Michelle Gellar wants to eat your braaaaaaaiiins... But to be honest, I'm just glad to hear she's finally eating, period! (WIMB)

This is it. I know not everyone was a fan of Obama's "Yes We Can" clip -- but unless this clip was paid for by the "Enemies of Hillary Clinton" there is no fucking way I want this person being President of our country. No. fucking. way. (QuizLaw)

I know we've been like sandwich crazy around here lately, but how can I not link this awesome Valentine's Day sammich? Eggplant and portabella? Holy yum! (Serious Eats)

Dammit! I knew I was going to get lured into this goddamn Real World/Road Rules Challenge whether I liked it or not. (TVFallsInTheWoods)

So what do you guys think of this new Fancast, the new site tailored for TV aficionados? Any website that lets you stream all the episodes of "Andy Barker, P.I." is A-OK with me. (Pop Candy)

Jane Fonda dropped the C-Bomb on "The Today Show" this morning. (Jezebel)

Not to get all advertisey on you, but long-time supporters of the site, Fab Stationary has a swell sell going on. Do check it out. (Fabulous Stationary)

Meh. Who else is completely ambivalent to Christina Aguilera's stupid baby? (cityrag)

After the jump -- I wanted to find a holiday appropriate clip for today, and I think this kind of turns me on a little bit. Is that wrong? I'm so confused...


There Will Be Blood | | Definitely, Maybe |

Jane Fonda's my hero.

Is that really an ad for Asian mail-order brides on the Pajiba site?

I feel really, really dirty watching that video.

Really...I may need to start celebrating vodkanukkah early...like right now.

That hilary was equally as disturbing. Is it the 70's again?

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at February 14, 2008 3:39 PM

Sorry...that hilary clip was equally as disturbing. If I didn't know better, I would think I was already celebrating...

I'm going out to a romantic Italian restaurant with a girlfriend tonight, and after watching that chocotastic sex action I may have to force her to put out.

That video made me think of a few things. 1) I never knew chocolate could be SO disturbing on the whole "Looks like biological waste being left behind" type of thing. 2) I want to find a woman dressed in foil and see if I can fuck into a gooey puddle of her former self. 3) If I can't have her, at least I know sticking my penis into a box of chocolates can be a good time.

If I can't have her, at least I know sticking my penis into a box of chocolates can be a good time.

You didn't already know that? Huh. I'm a little disappointed, Pissboy.

It's as if some crazy pollster told her everyone who votes is a Yanni fan who grew up loving Barney and following The Brady Bunch singing tour. This absolutely has to be a joke or done by an anti-Hillary group. It's preposterously bad. What stage mother from hell would sign her child up for that number? When the insert about the war came on I just had to turn away.

Hey the New York Times just ran the Chez/fired from CNN story in their City Room blog. They also mention Pajiba (and classify us as a "left wing" book and movie review site, bless their hearts. Anyway, loyal Pajibans can blog about Chez over there too. If it's fit to print, they'll carry it.

Posted by: PaddyDog at February 14, 2008 5:02 PM

Hey Julie...might not wanna use "force" and "Put out" in the same phrase. Just saying.

Posted by: Whoa at February 14, 2008 5:04 PM

But I'm sure that's just an excerpt from her Scrabble Sex book.

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at February 14, 2008 5:12 PM

Hahaha... vodkannukah. I prefer Rumadan, myself.

Posted by: Lannie at February 14, 2008 8:16 PM

Whoa: duly noted, replace force with "beg."

Shadows: heh. Scrabble Sex lives on!

Video review.
1. Messy candy sex, alway funny. Got to love the dude candy dressing and leaving right afterwards.

2. This cut of the Jane Fonda family fun time on NBC includes Meredith's apology a half hour later which is even funnier (accidental usage my ass), especially when she reads the coming up next
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3qXUFyzrjM

3. While I'm trying to stay awya from the whole "Raping of my childhood" line of talk when it comes to Hollywood (Transformers, GI Joe, etc...) I expect politicians, for all their pandering evilness to leave it that alone. But no, a motherf***ing rewrite of the classic Jackson 5 ABC to shill for that (insert Jane Fonda audio clip here). Wow, was that bad. I loved that song since I was a kid (it was on the oldies sation my father listned to all the time). But now, noooooo. Ear bleading awfulness plus the image of those dancers. Please tell me the Barack camp put that together (Edwards maybe?). Anybody delusional enough to think that was a good idea should not be allowed in DC, let alone 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Seriously, F***

I like the Pop Candy blog and I like Whitney Matheson (the blogger of aforementioned blog); she's smart, funny, and darn cute. But damn, sometimes it feels like it's paid advertisement blog. She never has a bad word to say about anything pop culture related (and that includes Heroes). And this article you linked to today I noticed because I could have sworn she must have just copy-and-pasted the press release that Fancast sent out. She's pushing it so hard.

Posted by: Chris W at February 14, 2008 11:36 PM

Gauntlet III is the shit. Trust, bitches, trust.
Also, I am way too old to be watching and enjoying that show as much as I do.

That Hilary video was stank. She not only stole the song "ABC" but she drained all of the soul out of it; and all for political purposes too. The horror, the horror.

Xtina's baby: I didn't know trannies could have babies.
That was wrong.
To all transexuals out there, I apologize for degrading you by comparing you to Xtina. You deserve better.

I enjoyed how nonchalantly Jane Fonda said "cunt" like it was not even a naughty word. Nice.

That chocolate sex video started out okay but got a bit disturbing when the hearts started oozing out their chocolaty fluids but as they say "if the sex ain't a bit dirty, messy, and nasty, you ain't doing it right". Amen, Amen.

However, I will never look at chocolate heart candies in quite the same way again.

I bet you by tomorrow morning, the "family values" crowd will be raising a higher stink about Jane nonchalantly cursing than the fact that someone slaughtered a bunch of freshmen attending a college lecture in Illinois. Gun rights yes, speech rights no!

Posted by: Matt at February 15, 2008 1:05 AM

Okay, so now we're going to hold HC accountable for admittedly corny-ass tributes to her by her constituency. Whatever. It's clear the woman can do no right. If Obama's camp had done this everybody would've been crowing about how "inspirational" it was and how it's a harbinger of "change."

"But no, a motherf***ing rewrite of the classic Jackson 5 ABC to shill for that (insert Jane Fonda audio clip here)."

HC? A "cunt"? Seriously? That disturbs me far more than the video.

Posted by: samantha t at February 15, 2008 10:05 AM

Matt: Never have truer words been printed on these pages.

Posted by: PaddyDog at February 15, 2008 10:58 AM

So let me get this straight, Stacey...you're trying to resist the Gauntlet III (Coral...yay!), but salivate over every turd-crusted installment of VH1 celebreality they throw at you? Sacrilege!

Posted by: bethalooo at February 15, 2008 11:12 AM

Samantha - I admit I might be looking for reasons to dislike my junior senator and might have been a bit harsh. I have never liked her and have voted against her twice before this year (not that much of an Obama fan either, but he is the only other Democrat running).

The video offends me greatly because it is not only a fake, pandering attempt to show how exciting and hip and fun Hillary can be but because it is such a terrible execution of that attempt. It is a hack video, a terrible rewrite and a lousy performance that can't but annoy or disgust people that were not already serious Clinton supporters. And screwing up good music always pisses me off.

For the record I would only even thought to allude to the C word was beacuse of the Jane Fonda video - so blame the Today Show (I blame Tiki)

Posted by: Brian at February 15, 2008 11:12 AM

Haha, I think if Barrack's camp made the video for him, people would think of it as brilliant satire. "Barrack makes politics fun again! My baby loves listening to this tune and is considering voting for Barrack too!"

But yeah... I made it through the whole thing and was shell shocked when it was over. I was waiting for someone to go - just kidding! or - this is barrack obama and I approve this message. I thought corniness like that died a long time ago. I honestly never knew such an intense type of corn ever existed, really.

Damn, I thought someone was talking about a new souped up "Don't shoot food!" and "Elf needs food badly!". What a disappointment.

Posted by: Jay at February 15, 2008 11:30 AM

Hahahaha....I was thinking the same, Jay

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at February 15, 2008 11:34 AM

You're right, we should elect a President based on how pajawesome their campaign video is!

Come on, don't be such a hipster shitbag.

Posted by: Melissa at February 15, 2008 11:37 AM

Brian - my point was that the video shouldn't be imputed to her. And, believe me, I have tremendous respect for Obama.

Well-put, Matt.

Posted by: samantha t at February 15, 2008 12:05 PM

Samantha - you're probably right. I guess watching hIllary and Jane Fonda videos back-to-back triggered something in me. At the same time, it does smack of the "Oh No, the young people love that ingrate from Chicago (her natural home town, no?) I need to reach out to them" type of action which, while isn't filming the video herself (which would actually explain the hackery involved), is a direction her campaign would be getting from her. I think some long time supporter of Bill who secretly hates her made the video (when in doubt, blame Carville)

I also think I need to stop discussing this.

Posted by: Brian at February 15, 2008 1:14 PM

The first thing that came to mind when I saw that video was "Whoa, that chocolate is totally going to fuck the shit out of that other chocolate", then it did and the only thing I could think of was..."that DOES look like shit". So what I'm trying to say is I wasn't turned on because the chocolate reminded me of poop...yea...I really need to stop saying everything I think.

I would like to continue the Scrabble Sex on this comment thread by saying: That would've been sexier with chocolate scrabble tiles.

Posted by: joker at February 15, 2008 1:38 PM

I love Pajiba with all of my heart, so when I clicked on the Hillary video link, I thought it would actually inform me about a reason that she would make a bad president, thus changing my vote to Obama.

Instead, it was as if an impressionable high schooler found some crappy promotional video and said, "Look how retarded this is! She is lame, I'm going to vote for Obama, the cool guy."

So, just to review...

Hillary is actually going to provide everyone in the States with health care, not just the ones that choose to have it. And she won't force merit-based pay for teachers, which replaces lesson planning/grading/after school help time for students with pointless meetings between teachers and administrators about teaching that go nowhere.

Posted by: actualrealworld at February 15, 2008 1:53 PM

joker...that was the first thing I thought of as well (I mean, besides the whole candy having sex thing). But I think if they had been chocolate-covered marshmallow scrabble tiles (maybe the S and the X?), it would have been sexier.

But then, what would they strip off? Hmmm...

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at February 15, 2008 2:09 PM

Shadows... I've always thought of scrabble tiles as nudists. It saves time.

The idea of chocolate marshmallow scrabble tiles is turning me on...I think I might have a problem.

Posted by: joker at February 15, 2008 2:50 PM

God, those Scrabble tiles are such whores.
