Sloppy Seconds: Palin on Oprah, Will She or Won't She?

Emily Farris — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 21:26:00 GMT

~~Mary~~ Nancy Wilson of Heart feels "completely fucked over" after the Republicans used the band's Barracuda as a theme song for Sarah Palin during the RNC. Wilson's sister and bandmate, Ann, chimed in: "Sarah Palin’s views and values in NO WAY represent us as American women. We ask that our song ‘Barracuda’ no longer be used to promote her image. The song ‘Barracuda’ was written in the late 70s as a scathing rant against the soulless, corporate nature of the music business, particularly for women." [Wonkette]

That's no matter, because John McCain's RNC speech had 500,000 more viewers than Obama's. Okay, so it's a difference of 38.4 million viewers (Obama) to 38.8 million viewers, but we all know what difference half a million votes can make (not that everyone who watched the RNC will vote for McCain). [Huffington Post]

Is this scary-ass Barbie doll really worth $100,000? Apparently so. [The Sun]

Um, if you're going to ride a mechanical bull, you might get hurt. Apparently there should be some kind-of waiver for this. [Daily News]

We're having a hard time believing that the 24 most eye-catching American Apparel ads couldn't have made it all the way to 25. [Debonair]

Vince Young's sausage taste's great. [Deadspin]

Oprah has made it clear that she has no intention of having Sarah Palin on her show, at least until after the election is over (which, honestly, we think is kind-of shitty... Oprah could at least give Palin the James Frey treatment). But, we get where she's coming from: "At the beginning of this presidential campaign when I decided that I was going to take my first public stance in support of a candidate, I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates," Winfrey, who was an early backer of Barack Obama, says in a statement to TMZ.com. "I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, and I would love to have her on after the campaign is over," she adds. "There has been absolutely no discussion about having Sarah Palin on my show." [Us]

Porn Star or American Apparel Model?

Emily Farris — Thu, 01 May 2008 15:44:00 GMT

With porn becoming more mainstream and American Apparel becoming more pornographic, we were inspired to invent a fun new game in which we show you a picture of a woman and you tell us if she's a porn star or an American Apparel model.

That's porn star Sasha Grey, who Scanner Bryan showed us earlier this week and who appeared in the Roots' video Birthday Girl.

Except, wait, apparently she's also an American Apparel model. That's her, right? Damn, we lose. But American Apparel wins. Maybe they should just use porn stars for all of their ads.

Check out This Recording's interview with Grey (full of SFW pictures).
