Bill O'Reilly's Dirty Talk Express

Colleen Kane — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 13:36:00 GMT

Village Voice blogger Alan Scherstuhl, identifying himself as Your Crap Archivist, has lately covered two books penned by Bill O'Reilly. So very unfortunately for humanity, both books (but especially one), include sexual sexual material written by O'Reilly. Just what you never wanted!

In the case of the audiobook version of his 1998 crime novel Those Who Trespass, you can hear O'Reilly himself read passages about such topics as oral sex, shower sex as well as the following line from a crack dealer: "Say baby, put that pipe down and get my pipe up." This Bill O' Reillyrotica was previously covered here on Scanner. However! Audio clips of the most ripe passages are available for your listening displeaure on the Voice's Running Scared blog. Sound board? Remixes? Anyone?

The week before that entry, Your Crap Archivist (still upset I didn't think of this title first) reviewed his 2004 book The O'Reilly Factor for Kids, with this choice quote: "I didn't have sex until I was twenty years old! Can you believe it? I was kind of a shy guy around girls, and I had absolutely no 'moves.'"

Alan notes his surprise at O'Reilly's " assumption that America's children should have thought often enough about when he might have lost his virginity to have formed prior opinions on the matter."

Your Crap Archivist Admirer is anxiously awaiting further dispatches from YCA.

Sloppy Seconds: "I Don't Need Your Sex, I'll Masturbate"

It's the end of the year as we know it...

Jezebel rounds up their top eight Lezebels (girls who like girls who are liked by the ladies at Jezebel) of 2008. We have a hard time believing they couldn't have made it a top 10, though. Hello? Wanda Sykes? Maaaaybe Queen Latifah? [Jezebel]

Hollywood.com rounds up The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of 2008—mostly a bunch of people we've never heard of, or at least pretend not to know. [Hollywood.com]

The Village Voice rounds up the worst lyrics of 2008. While we're sort of partial to T-Pain's "I don't need your sex/I'll masturbate" from Therapy we have to agree with the choice of Nickelback's "You look so much cuter with something in your mouth" from the aptly titled Something in Your Mouth, and even Usher's "You order Chinese food right before you do me" from Trading Places.

Stay tuned for Scanner's round ups when the year is actually over...

Buck Angel Too Much Man... Or Is It Too Much Woman... For Porn?

Brian Fairbanks — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 15:31:00 GMT

Forget the phony "Pregnant Man." The latest transgender success story is way better...

Buck Angel is lighting up the blogosphere with a wave of publicity, from Jezebel to the Village Voice, detailing his life as a woman who became a man but stayed a woman but decided to do some awesome pornographic movies. His website calls him the "first and only" female-to-male transsexual porn star:

As the undisputed king of transgender porn, Buck Angel thrives on his ability to deconstruct traditional notions of masculinity. He unabashedly promotes himself as a man with a pussy.
Angel's performance at the Black Party was a direct challenge to the men who have pretty much run the gay-rights movement for decades... "Men who have been fucked, fisted, shackled, flogged, and pissed upon have finally crossed a lurid and yet rarely discussed carnal threshold. They have seen, in person, a pussy."

Angel himself concedes that his unconventional plumbing causes discomfort among gay men: "I don't conform to what you tell me I should do," he says. "...Gender is not black and white. And I'm putting that out there in your face."

(Wikipedia points out that although "he is by no means the only transman to have ever worked in pornography, he is certainly one of the best-known and best-paid FTM (female-to-male) transsexual pornographic actors to date.)

Here's Buck naked:

Buck Angel's career as a man with a pussy continues apace. And he remains as defiant as ever: "There are no rules, as far as I'm concerned," Angel says. "Nobody can deny I am a man. I am not conforming to anyone who says I'm not. Nobody can tell me different." [Village Voice]

Video of the Day: The Porno Jim Show (NSFW)

Nicole Pasulka — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 14:30:00 GMT

This is the Porno Jim Show. Porno Jim reeeeeally likes porn. He likes it so much he created a NYC performance highlighting some of the "best" porn in his collection. Like, Smurf Porn. Right, there's porn on this clip. It's NSFW. But since it's Smurf Porn, well, maybe it's kind of like watching prarie dogs do it.

This video lives at the Village Voice's new sex blog Naked City. Audacia Ray gives it up over cool shit like the Feminist Porn Awards and what else but safe sex underwear design contests.
