And now back to Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction:

There is an Associated Press story today about how the FCC is upholding their fine against CBS for the Super Bowl incident and a couple of other blatant violations of so-called decency standards. Here is how AP describes the two terms of endearment that were uttered during the Billboard Music Awards.

The two sources, who declined to be identified ahead of a public announcement, said one of the decisions involves an appearance by Nicole Richie on the 2003 Billboard Music Awards on Fox. During the broadcast, she uttered the “F” word and the expletive for excrement.

The article goes on to say that the use of the “brown word” is believed to be the first ever to be fined. Meanwhile, it is believed that The Associated Press is the first media outlet to use the word ‘excrement’ to describe a naughty word - making it all the more funny.

The Gayest Thing Known To Mankind

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

…and I’m going to miss it.

Rufus Wainwright is performing at Carnegie Hall, one night only, the complete and infamous Judy Garland 1961 Concert.

I think that tops (huh-huh, I said ‘tops’) every other known form of entertainment for pure gay-osity including Elton John in the 70’s, a fuchsia-leotard-wearing, baton-twirling Liberace and the “Keep It Gay” sequence (huh-huh, I said ’sequins’) from The Producers.

Whether he will stumble around in an alcohol and drug-induced stupor or forget the lyrics and then pretend he was improvising alternative lyrics has not been announced, but it will be amusing to witness.

On a related note, Mateo (one of my fellow Monkeys) and I have determined that the word ‘SNICKERDOODLE’ is the gayest known in the English language.

Listening to: Ooh La La - Goldfrapp (c’mon! what are the odds? see blog posting below)

UPDATE: Rufus just added a second show. Man, that means he’ll have to booze it up two nights in a row. How is he going to stay clean now?

Freaky iPod IV

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

So Mute Records is trying to get America ready for Goldfrapp on March 7. The rest of the world has had a taste of the new album, Supernature, since August. One of their promotional items is to give away the song “Ooh La La” as the free download of the week on the iTunes music store. I noticed it was free last night and meant to tell my friend, Hayes, about it last night.

So just now Hayes IM’s to excitedly tell me the news. The next song Eduardo (my iPod) plays is, you got it, “Ooh La La” by Goldfrapp.

In fact, that was the second song Eduardo had played from the album this morning. You can read my mini-review of Supernature on the Best Of 2005 page. It’s #8.

Current song count on iPod: 10,929
