I was exposed to this video during the Great Video War of 2007.  If you can find something worse (and it’s probably Japanese) post a link in the comments.  But be forewarned – I have other weapons in my cache. Don’t make me hurt you.

“A tourist’s holiday skinny dip turned sour after he was reportedly bitten on the penis by a venomous spider. The 22-year-old Canadian fell asleep in the sand dunes after swimming nude at a beach in New Zealand’s far north. He woke to find his penis swollen and painful, with a bite mark on the shaft.” [Sydney Morning Herald, via CheapBoy]

Now that Arizona has legislated a pig, its governor is worried about the lipstick:

Acknowledging that Arizona has developed a serious image problem because of its tough new immigration law, Gov. Jan Brewer and tourism-industry leaders said Thursday that they will launch a new effort to stanch the flow of lost trade and convention business in the state.

The legislation and firestorm of negative publicity that followed brought calls for boycotts, moved groups to back out of local conventions and led several cities to cut business ties with Arizona companies.

The loss of business is critical in a recession-battered state vitally dependent on visitor spending.

“It’s up to us to get the truth out there. This is impacting Arizona’s face to the nation,” said Brewer, who blamed the controversy on misconceptions about the law.

This is impacting Arizona’s face to the nation. Sounds like Arizona’s superintendent of public instruction should be focusing on the governor’s grammar instead of ethnic-studies programs.

RedState’s Erick Erickson, who just six weeks ago declared he needed to “grow up” because he called David Souter a “goat-fucking child molester” last year, declares that a thirty-year-old college paper says all you need to know about the latest Supreme Court nominee:

BREAKING: We Have Elena Kagan’s College Thesis

This proves Elena Kagan is an open and avowed socialist. The woman declares that socialists must stick together instead of fracture in order to advance a socialist agenda, which Kagan advocates…

Keep in mind that Kagan wrote her thesis at the height of the cold war praising a group that collaborated with our enemies.

We’re not sure we’d peg 1981 as the height of the Cold War — the Cuban Missile Crisis was about twenty years earlier, after all. Then again, we’re not sure we were yet over our Karen Carpenter fetish.

Speaking of mindless brutes, Mr. Plumber has taken to wearing this “Don’t Spread My Wealth, Spread My Work Ethic” t-shirt lately. Could someone please tell us how Samuel J. has been paying the rent the past eighteen months?

We’re hearing buzz that Barack Obama will be pre-empting Dwayne Johnson’s SNL cameo this week, when he gives a press conference this morning after hearing the latest bad news about the Gulf spill. The script calls for Barry to be shocked — Shocked! — that drilling for oil a mile deep isn’t nearly as safe as those nice ugly people shilling in those BP commercials would lead you to think.

Sarah Palin, meanwhile, will keep exhorting those poor fishermen to fight for compensation from companies whose policies she steadfastly supports. And other than a few well-oiled Flippers, the rest of us will continue to be denied heartwrenching marine-disaster coverage because, well, we’ve been using the Gulf as America’s Toilet for years, and the fish are long since dead.

Damn I love this guy:
