One of the only good things that came of the Bush Administration was David Rees’s sardonic comic strip “Get Your War On.” But, I suppose it’s good that he’s got nothing left to write about. You’ll be missed, stock illustration dudes. (CC Insider)

I wonder if Iron Maiden could actually sue Miley Cyrus for slander over this. (WIMB)

It was bound to happen eventually: Obama dildos. Oh, the egg on the face of the guy sitting around with a stockpile of McCain dildos. (QuizLaw)

You’re going to photograph David Beckham in his undies again and pose him lying on his stomach?! What kind of fuckery is this? (Agent Bedhead)

New presidency, new White House website. One day in and we’re already seeing change! (Deus Ex Malcontent)

Joaquin Phoenix’s last movie he filmed before going off the deep end involved a sex scene with tightass, goddamn annoying Gwyneth Paltrow. Hmm … Suddenly everything is starting to make sense. (Celebitchy)

What the hell happened to Val Kilmer? (Yeeeah!)

Already loathe He’s Just Not That Into You? Join the Kala anti-fan club. (A Simple Misunderstanding)

You guys have (often) complained about the American Apparel ads on our site before, so just thank your sweet asses we’re not running these. (Evil Beet)

One of the best thing about having 99 problems and a job ain’t one of them is that I get to catch up on my Maury viewing. Here is a post of the best paternity test reactions which eloquently sums up why I love Maury so much. (Holy Taco)

Ben Affleck is the latest celebrity to want to eat your brains. Braaaiiiins… (Celebslam)

And speaking of brain eating, check out this video of a Halloween zombie outbreak. There’s nothing funnier than a kid shitting himself. (H/T to BWeaves) (YouTube)

For no reason other than I say so, here are some TV spots for the new Friday The 13th. Going by the glowing review for My Bloody Valentine, maybe this one also stands a chance of not completely sucking, eh? J-Pad 4 EVA!. (Popoholic)

Here’s a fashion roundup from the Inaugural Ball. I also thought Michelle’s gown was absolutely stunning. (Jezebel)

It’s just a sweet and tender love story of squirrel meets nacho chips, nacho chips meet squirrel. (CuteOverload)

Because kids are cute, here’s this clip. Thanks, Aditi!

Yes, I love Iron Maiden, but ol' Hannah Montana wearing a shirt of theirs doesn't bother me too much. I mean, I'd have to get my panties in a twist for every tweener wearing a Clash or Dead Kennedys T-shirt they got from Hot Topic who have no idea what their music is.

My panties can only twist so much.

Plus, it's another $15 in Maiden's wallet, so Steve Harris can continue writing. And maybe (real unlikely) some of her fans may see that shirt, wonder what the Maiden is all about and we get a few more heavy metal converts. I was about her age when I started listening to Slayer.

As for the Paternity Test, I just picture the Final Fantasy 7 victory music when he starts moonwalking.

Does that little French girl write for Lost?

R.I.P. GYWO.

One day in and we're already seeing change! Not even one day - the site was changed yesterday. Glorious.

Posted by: Cindy at January 21, 2009 1:31 PM

That tiny little french girl looks almost exactly like my baby sister did when she was tiny. Sounds like her too, child didn't walk till she was 16 months old but could ask "can I have a cookie?" before her first birthday.

I said it on Jeremy's blog and I'll say it again; I thought that after the Bush years we were done being fucked by our president. (Re: Obama dildos)

Posted by: Genny (also Rusty) at January 21, 2009 1:34 PM

Rusty: Yeah, you're right! I posted the DildObama last night! Where's my friggin' royalty check? I mean, yeah, technically,I ripped it off of another site, but it's the principle, dammit!

That being said...*Snort*...Dildobamas. Teeheehee! Yeah, I have the maturity of a twelve year old, go fig.

Posted by: Jeremy Feist at January 21, 2009 1:43 PM

Yeah, uh, that's not egg on that dude's face. In my defense, let me just say that those McCain dildos fucking work.

You know what I hate more than that "He's Just Not That Into You" movie (which I haven't seen yet, of course, just been assaulted by the ads)? That fucking commercial that shows women running screaming down the street to get at some kind of low-calorie snack food. Incredibly annoying and insulting to women who don't act like they're 12 (which is hopefully most of us). I hate it so very, very much.

I may hate it more than that screamin' OxyClean asshole, and that is saying quite a bit. It's a good thing I have self-control (and am also kinda lazy), or OxyClean guy and those Freecreditreport.com fuckers would be in shallow graves somewhere.

Posted by: Slash at January 21, 2009 2:13 PM

I'm sorry to have to say this, but I really don't mind the Freecreditreport.com guys. I think they're funny, and I have no idea why. They should totally be annoying to me, but I just can't feel the hate.

Posted by: Snath at January 21, 2009 2:16 PM

I think I've mentioned this before, but, one night at Borders a woman asked me where "He's Just Not That Into You" was. I was a bit disappointed that she'd be asking as she looked better than that, buuuuut....I directed her. To her credit, she sounded a bit dubious already Later on as she was asked what she thought. "Well, it's all obvious stuff". I smiled and said the staff agreed.

However, it does bear mentioning that somebody bought it, and took it seriously, and maybe even didn't realize those advice column letters weren't real. Everyone is to blame, and not just the authors.

Posted by: Jay at January 21, 2009 2:18 PM

Sentennnnce? Come back here, Sentence!

Later on as she was leaving I asked what she thought.

*Starts moonwalking*

Ever do that during sex? Right as you climax you yell "Da da da da da daaaa da da ta daaaaaaaaaa!"

Freak out my girlfriend once, then started laughing her ass off once she realized where it was from.

Posted by: Jim at January 21, 2009 2:22 PM

Michelle looked stunning, and kind of bride-like. It struck me that they had to do a first dance at each ball and the whole idea had a surreal wedding quality to it. That said, I bet she was wishing she had a bustle on that train after the fourth dance because she had to keep scooting it out of the way.

They both looked ama-za-zing last night. And all day yesterday.

Obama Dildos: Go for the Big "O" In the Privacy of Your Home! Change We Can Believe In (and Out! And in Again)!

I kill me.

Posted by: figgy at January 21, 2009 2:30 PM

I've never tried that, Jim, but even if I did my wife wouldn't get it. Her gaming extends about as far as Jewel Quest on the PC. I would have to explain it, and then she would call me a nerd. Awwww, love.

Posted by: Snath at January 21, 2009 2:32 PM

This is kind of out of the blue, and rather off topic, but I was wondering if anyone here in the Pajibaverse has ever had a pilonidal cyst. I have an infected one on my lower back/ass crack, and it's the most painful thing I've ever gone through. I'm on antibiotics and vicodin (wheee!), and I have a surgery consultation tomorrow to see what my surgery options are to get it removed. Has anyone had the surgery, so I feel less freaked out?

Posted by: Snath at January 21, 2009 2:35 PM

I live near Oakland (CA) and you can't get away with the Zombie outbreak Halloween house here. The Bart cops would arrive and take head shots.

Posted by: Iwantsprinkles at January 21, 2009 2:39 PM

Okay, I have no idea what that is, but I'm sorry Snath! That is a rather unfortunate place to have for anything bad, really. I hope it goes well tomorrow. All the best!

Posted by: Jeremy Feist at January 21, 2009 2:41 PM

Obama and Michelle really looked awesome and completely hot last night, though a bit exhausted (and who can't blame them).

Confirmed my theory that white tie looks amazing on anyone. It reminded me of the West Wing episode with the State Dinner and how everyone commented on how good all the boys looked in their white ties. Hot, hot stuff.

Posted by: figgy at January 21, 2009 2:41 PM

Damn, snath, it sounds painful and I hope you make a quick recovery. Enjoy the drugs and surgery is no big deal, really.

Posted by: Nicole at January 21, 2009 2:53 PM

This is what's great about Pajiba. We can talk about stuff in our asses and out of our asses at the same time.

Meanwhile, over at Jezebel...

Posted by: Sofía at January 21, 2009 3:06 PM

I already told Skitz that I would make sure the docs took photos for him during my surgery, but that's as much info as I'm going to give out. Unless you read my Facebook, and I'm sure all the info will be there. Ha!

Posted by: Snath at January 21, 2009 3:09 PM

According to the website emedicinehealth.com:

During World War II, more than 80,000 soldiers developed pilonidal cysts requiring hospitalization. Because so many of the afflicted servicemen rode in bumpy Jeeps for prolonged periods of time, it was termed "Jeep disease."

You have a pretty spiffy condition there, snath!

Posted by: gelis at January 21, 2009 3:12 PM

Yeah gelis, I read that yesterday after getting home from the doctor. "Jeep disease." Wonderful.

I blame mine on our recumbent exercise bike. The way I sit while riding it is exactly where my cyst formed. Awesome. Exercise is going to put me in the hospital...and here I thought it was going to be lack of exercise that eventually put me there. That's what I get for trying to be healthier.

Posted by: Snath at January 21, 2009 3:18 PM

SNATH - yes, I had it and had it removed. FYI, I'm a mid-thirties male, and it's apparently a common thing for men (due to the hair down there I guess). You might have sit kinda on one side for a couple of weeks, but no worries after that. It's more scary to talk about (especially to the whole freaking Pajiba-verse) that to actually experience.

Posted by: Perl at January 21, 2009 3:29 PM

Thank Godtopus! Thank you Perl, that makes me feel better.

Posted by: Snath at January 21, 2009 3:35 PM

Snath, I'm pretty sure that's what my best friend's boyfriend had this past September. He had minor surgery to have it removed, and it hasn't bothered him since. It was right at the very bottom of his lower back, I remember how much pain he was in. He did have some issues with the gauze that they packed in the wound afterwards, I think removing it may have been painful for him.

Posted by: Julie at January 21, 2009 4:08 PM

Snath,
I've also had a pilonidal cyst removed. Don't sweat it; it's quick surgery and the recovery time is a couple of weeks. I mean, you can sit and move the following day but it will be a bit before you can sit in front of your computer for 8 hours a day.

Posted by: Helen at January 21, 2009 4:13 PM

That's the problem, Helen, I can't afford to miss work. Oh bother. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Posted by: Snath at January 21, 2009 4:19 PM

Hmmm. Well how about using one of those donut cushions for hemorrhoids, Snath? I used one and it kind of worked alright. Good luck to you!

Posted by: Helen at January 21, 2009 4:34 PM

That could work! That's a good idea.

Posted by: Snath at January 21, 2009 4:35 PM

Snath, there are special inflatable ring shaped pillows (butt donuts) you can sit on so there is no direct presure on your ass. Maybe you can get one somewhere? My sister has had a pilonidal cyst and used one and had no problems sitting after surgery.

I admit freely that I actually totally dig the FreeCredit guys - do you have any idea how hard it is to come up with jingles that don't suck?

Personal Fave: The original Pirate Restaurant skit
Close 2nd: Ren Faire - if only cuz I attend in full garb. Every. Year.
[quick side note: will be attending 2009 RenFaire in full Kahlan mode, FINALLY! and hubby gets to dress up as Richard, which means, we may not GET to RenFaire for a while cuz I'm gonna have to rip that shit off and devour....

....mmm? wha? who, o hello. I'm back]

Posted by: Stella at January 21, 2009 4:42 PM

Do you think those guys spend the night before taping in front of a mirror practicing the dance they're gonna do if Maury announces they aren't the father? 'Cause I would. I mean, if I was a guy and in their situation.

Posted by: s. pisaster at January 21, 2009 4:48 PM

Sofia, I kinda stopped reading Jezebel after they started the whole big brother act. Honestly...I don't know if it's their commenters that are so out of control or whatever, but...take a chill pill...

French kid reminds me of my nephew. He also says non-sensical and yet coherent things. In French AND German. I keep trying to get him to stick to one language, but damn kid doesn't listen.

Posted by: Joker at January 21, 2009 5:56 PM

That little-French-girl video has been my favourite thing ever for about the last two months. It's been a lot of people's favourite thing, apparently, and now the girl's mother has decided to put her notoriety to good use, raising money for Edurelief in Mongolia:

You can even buy t-shirts!

Posted by: jkate at January 21, 2009 5:57 PM

Now you thought the trailer from her movie could make me barf, no sir. But she is wearing a Maiden, Live After Death concert shirt and that hurts more. Knowing that I wore that same shirt makes me want to call on the MurderTank.

Stacey, much to your chagrin, Obama will have to introduce US troops into the field of battle that they are not currently in (Plus he wants to increase the commitment to Afghanistan). Every President since Grover Cleveland has done so. The last one to come close to not doing this was Carter. But the Iranian hostage rescue mission went tits up, nine service men died.

Posted by: richmac at January 21, 2009 6:19 PM

Her drees was too long and did not flatter her midsection (feather touches could have been left out as well). I hate too thin, but I know she is not that thick either. Serious question, does she has back issues health wise? Because her posture does not seem straight.

Posted by: richmac at January 21, 2009 6:40 PM

That Obama "toy" is meant for doing the same thing to one's body literally that his administration is going to do to us figuratively????

I believe the result of both is a dirty, smelly mess.

Posted by: grumpyoldman at January 22, 2009 9:06 AM

Someone's bitter in defeat.

Posted by: Snath at January 22, 2009 9:20 AM

That kid's smart. She speaks French way better than I do.

Hope all goes well, Snath.

You're going to photograph David Beckham in his undies again and pose him lying on his stomach?! What kind of fuckery is this?

umm... the sort of fuckery that us butt-pirates would really enjoy.
