Stephen Colbert Attacks America's Most Likable Gay Person

Today’s Pajiba Love was written to the soothing electronic strains of the new Metric album. You can stream it for freesias here! (Fuse)

Don’t know Metric? Pshaw, of course you do.

Hey dudes who cringe at tampons, show some respect. One just might save your life. In perhaps my favorite Art of Manliness post ever, here is “The Swiss Army Survival Tampon.” (That Art Of Manliness)

Usually, out of sensitivity to those of y’all who can’t watch youtube at work, I try to keep the videos to a minimum. But there were too many good visual goodies today, so I’ll be sprinkling them throughout like little amuse bouches (amuse yeux?). If you didn’t get a chance to view the Transit of Venus earlier this week, here’s a nifty treat for you:

Speaking of heavenly bodies (I know, I’m not happy with it either), Dustin takes a look at Nigella Lawson’s in honor of her new show. I’m hoping it’s not going to be called “Bending Over With Nigella Lawson.” (WG)

It must be weird for an actor to go from Performer Status to Action Figure Status. Young Josh Hutcherson has officially achieved Creepy Bed Spread Status. (Geek Alerts)

I can’t be the only one who wants to read the Giles origin story Damon Lindelof wrote for “Buffy The Vampire Slayer,” can I? (Vulture)

Speaking of vampires, everyone’s favorite tall Nordic One, Alexander Skarsgaard, is hanging out with a new girl. A new teeny tiny girl. Added bonus? Some “True Blood” promo photos. Oh, Manganiello. Celebitchy

Speaking of Manganiello, here’s a closer look at the shirtless dudes of Magic Mike. Is it just me, or does Matt Bomer have extra abs on top of his abs? (Rope Of Silicon)

Oi, gamer nerds, get your joysticks ready (you still use those, right?), here are the coolest new games to come out of the E3 conference. (Unreality)

What if other TV families had “Game of Thrones” style sigils? I would proudly be a bannerman to House Swanson. (Uproxx)

FlavorWire has the 10 Craziest Deaths Of The Televison Season. Deathy, bloody, fiery spoilers abound. (FlavorWire)

SLW wrote a touching, classy, thoughtful farewell to Ray Bradbury yesterday. But, ah, this is how *I* choose to say goodbye.

Did you know that it is illegal for atheists to hold public office in 7 states? You did? Oh you’re so smart. Can you name all 7? (Death And Taxes)

In honor of all our younger ‘Jibans who are graduating, here, distilled for your pleasure, are 27 Bits of Wisdom from 2012 Commencement Speeches. (Mental Floss)

Distilled for my pleasure? Joel McHale’s impression of Michael Fassbender’s Sexbot character from Prometheus. What? He’s not a sexbot? Sure…if you say so.

Finally, Colbert’s charming interview with NPH where he calls Neil out for being both likable and gay. THE NERVE.

    I don't always read Pajiba (anymore)
    but when I do, it's awesome.

    Love to the Link Wench!

  • Turd Ferguson

    Don't speak to me of tam...feminine products. It's my belief that women should be allowed to retire to the Moon Hut and wait out their 'time' in peace and serenity, far, far away from me.

  • marya

    Turd, I've got great news! I just took a survey of womankind, and they agree.  They'd also like to be far, far away from you. 

  • Turd Ferguson

    It is for both our protection, I assure you, madam.

  • If I was 12, that Peeta bedspread would be mine. But I'm not, so I can't. Right? Right.

  • I'm 35 ,rich but still single.It's hard to get a boyfriend in my town ,most of them like my money more than like me.I just want to find my true love.so i uploaded my hot photos on w/w/w/Sugarmommalove/com ,under the name of jenny. a nice and free place for younger men and mature women, to interact with each other..if you guys see this comment,i hope you will check my photos out there.maybe you are the one who i am looking for

  • malechai

    Well I guess Tara's not dead.

  • DeadBessie

    I've been rewatching Buffy lately.  I must say, Giles is HOT.  I would love an origin story.  Right now all we fans really have is the episode where all the Sunnydale adults revert to their teenage selves, and Giles nails Buffy's mom.

  • PerpetualIntern

    On the hood of a police car. Twice. That's hot.

  • *quietly bookmarks the Peeta bedspread link*

  • DarthCorleone

    That makes me want to move back to Texas and run for office just to pick a fight.

  • BWeaves

    When I first got my period, decades ago, I insisted on using tampons, because my mother wanted me to use those huge bricks that were sanitary napkins.  My mother thought the tampons would affect my virginity, but she got over it quickly.

    A couple of months later, she asked me to make sure I threw my used tampon applicators in the garbage in the garage, and not in the dustbin in the bathroom.  I asked why.  My little brother had discovered the applicators, and was using them as bazookas for his G.I.Joes.

  • klingonfree

     I love this. But Scary Mary (my mom) made us put the applicators and the wrappers etc into a brown lunch bag -- she put a stack of them next to wastebasket -- so brothers and others of male persuasion would not be offended.

  • fpkillkill

     Clever little brother.

  • BBB40

    I may be reading it wrong, but the PA constitution seems to prevent non-atheists from being disqualified for public office due to their beliefs. It doesn't mention atheists not being allowed to hold public office.

    "No person who acknowledges the being of a God and a future state of rewards and punishments shall, on account of his religious sentiments, be disqualified to hold any office or place of trust or profit under this Commonwealth."

  • fpkillkill

    I swear I could not love NPH (deal with it) any more than I already do. He is delightful and charming and super cute and is probably just as nice in person. You could tell me he slapped a toddler and I'd have to ask if the toddler deserved it.

  • PerpetualIntern

    "Clint Eastwood.  Super duper gay." 
    I love you, NPH.

  • jmd

    House House made me snicker loudly in my office! Perfect!

  • lowercase_ryan

    I would bet my life that I could get AZ to pass a law becoming the 8th state on that list in 1-2 years were I not an Atheist leaving the door open to one day save my state when the time is right.

    oh and nvm, top shelf with Rachel Bloom, damn I feel reaaally dirty now.

  • Becca Eberman

     "Gay guys say Dayamn Skippy!"

    Oh NPH, the mediocre quality of recent How I Met Your Mother episodes has made me forget how much I truly love you as a person.

  • e jerry powell

     Well, gay guys above 125th street, anyway.

  • lowercase_ryan

    Top Shelf with Nigella Lawson?

  • branded_redux

    I can't help but think of him as The Manganiello Who Would Be Wolverine (If He Weren't So Tall).

  • SeaKat

    House Huxtable

    "Flibbity, Zibbity, Bippity"

    Made me shout-laugh. Glad I'm the only one here or I would have scared the pants off of someone.

  • lowercase_ryan

    Sincere thanks for the link to the tampon info. I can honestly see one or two going in my Camelback at some point in the future.  I just need to get a gf so I can get her to go buy me some.

  • competitivenonfiction

    Just make sure you get the kind with the plastic applicator - half the uses are for the applicator, not the tampon itself. For the uninitiated, some tampons come with carboard applicators, others without an applicator altogether, which is usually the most common for camping. So you want the plastic ones - often labelled "comfort glide" or something similarly creepy. Personally, this made me realize that my tampons aren't as Bear Grylls friendly as they could be.

  • Turd Ferguson

     I doubt, or should I say 'hope', I'm not alone when I say, "Please, every boy went through his mom's bathroom cabinet and inspected them things. If they didn't, then they're borderline W stupid for being so incurious.

  • lowercase_ryan

    I have to think a cardboard applicator in the wild would be like grabbing masking tape when you meant to bring the duct tape. And personally I'd go with Survivorman Brand Tampons. Bear is a pretty boy poser. Never trust a pretty boy with your period.

  • competitivenonfiction

    I really really wish that Survivorman Brand tampons were real. The commercials would be way better. 

  • firedmyass

    Just run into a store late at night and buy a box. Anyone who sees you will think you DO have a lady and that you are a kick-ass boyfriend.

  • pissant

    I disagree.  Buying a box of tampons for a girlfriend is simply as nice as running any errand for her.  However, refusing to buy tampons makes you an asshole.

    I know what you mean, but what adult male gives a shit what people think about him buying a box of tampons?

  • firedmyass

    oh, I completely agree. As I used to do most of the grocery shopping, I've bought 'em plenty of times. Never even remotely a "thing," to my mind.

  • lowercase_ryan

    In all honesty I don't care. I've done it and it doesn't compare to the awkwardness of buying women's lingerie by yourself.  I just love playing up stereotypes in my spare time.

  • klingonfree

     Is this the appropriate place for me to declare that I over the past few days I have developed a crush on lowercase_ryan, and comments like this are to blame.

    I think the new format has something to do with it.  Or it could have been residuals of the Stones soundtrack in the Robert Zemekis thread this morning. Don't ask me -- I just feel these things.

  • lowercase_ryan

    The Stones tend to fester and not leave. I'm singing Paint It Black right now. Silently.

    and P.S. How in the world am I not going to "like" that comment? :-)

  • Long_Pig_Tailor

    Wasn't there, like, a whole post about John Mayer being a whiner? Where'd that go?

  • AngelenoEwok

    I made an ugly laugh when I saw House Grimes.  

  • SPAGHATTAH NADLE is coming for you, Ellen Page! SHE HAS HER PLANE TICKET! WATCH YOUR TINY, ADORABLE BACK!

  • pissant

    Hey dudes who cringe at tampons

    I still vividly remember a bunch of dudes threatening each other with a tampon wrapper in the locker room after P.E.  Yes, the fucking wrapper.  I mean, like, doesn't your professed love of the vagina and all things that might go near it outweigh the squickiness you feel about menstruation?

  • firedmyass

    This. That mind-set set has always seemed thoroughly illogical to me.

  • the link dump today is extra awesome.
