The ever vigilant Scanner bloggers bring us the latest & greatest (& sexiest) breaking news: The Church of England makes the shocking revelation that, gasp, penis-in-vagina is the most direct way to pregnancy; contemplating National Abortion Provider Appreciation Day in a country that keeps trying to tell your vagina what to do; a former Scientologist exposes the bizarre details of Tom Cruise’s “alleged” sham marriage (yawn?); Brian Christian hates on the Bourne; and Who’d You Rather: Old and Crazy Legends Edition. And in the Scanner shorties: politicians and hookers join forces once again for another ho-hum scandal; Google gets cocky and insults your junk, and… danger shoes (don’t do ’em)!
Screengrab takes us up in its interwebbed arms and whisks us away to the SxSW fest we all wish we were attending, giving us the lowdown on two documentaries: one exploring the segregated Mardi Gras celebrations of Mobile, Alabama, the other looking at the effects of Bush’s cowboy act on the once-invisible Crawford, TX. Also of note: George Romero decries the highly unrealistic trope of the speedy zombie, Cyndi Lauper reminds us that goonies never say die, and more weigh-ins on Robert Downey, Jr.’s twitter-inducing role in Tropic Thunder – edgy and original, or worthy of Soul Man-esque cringing?
And all up in the Hooksexup Video Blog, we find out what happens when the silent half of Pen & Teller is left alone in Vegas with zombie hordes; watch a stuntman blow an audition; realize that snuggling and drumming kittens make bad days better; experience the glory of The Waldo Ultimatum, and bust out all kinds of Hallelujah.
