Tucker Max
Tucker Max's Movie Script
Yesterday we put out a call for the viciously panned script of I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell, the upcoming film written by I-totally-fucked-that-chick blogger Tucker Max. We immediately received about a dozen copies of the script, which is apparently being forwarded around Hollywood like a list of bad lawyer jokes. I also could have said "like herpes," and I could also follow up by joking that the script is about as funny as a bad lawyer with herpes, haha. Friends, it opens with Tucker Max fucking a deaf girl and screaming "DON'T TAZE ME, BRO!." It is that bad. After the jump, three of the most terrible moments from the film's first half. Jesus, bro:

John Edwards' Wikipedia Page Strangely Love Child-Free
After all this Mickey Kaus blathering about MSM gatekeepers censoring the news and preventing the reader from learning "what happened yesterday" (or, at this point, last week), it's wonderful to see the citizen-journalists and crowdsourced new guardians of information acting just as ridiculously about this supposed John Edwards scandal. As you'll recall, the National Enquirer caught John Edwards sneaking into a hotel late one night to visit former staffer Rielle Hunter and her child. When they confronted him on his way out, he hid in a bathroom. Fox News confirmed the visit. But none of this meets Wikipedia's high standards of notability! You won't find Rielle or the Beverly Hilton even mentioned on the Edwards entry.

Google's prude curtain wrapped around Lively
Lively, the latest experiment from Google Labs, is yet another part of cyberspace where the Mountain View search company has decided that exploring sexuality is officially verboten. The 3D virtual world is Web-friendly, but sex-hostile. The no-sex-please-we're-Googlers policy began with Web search, where, by default, the company's SafeSearch filters which block explicit content are turned on for all users. Then came YouTube, where the company refuses to manually police for copyright infringement but employs a staff to keep women's nipples from ever appearing. And now Lively, where the community standards state: More »

Best of Sporn: A Love Song [NSFW]
Why does Spore, the new evolution game from EA/Maxis, give us hope for the future of humanity? Because the first thing everybody did with the "creature creator" editor was create a bunch of, shall we say, genitally-oriented organisms. Call it Sporn. EA is unlikely to let you share these creatures with other Spore players, and every time somebody posts footage of a new one on YouTube it gets taken down. That's why we've put together this happy music video, featuring the vocal stylings of Peaches' "Tent in Your Pants," celebrating the very best of Sporn. There are some things in here that even I can't identify. Ah, evolution. [io9]

Sex, drugs, and violence: The 10 surprises in Henry Nicholas's indictment
Nothing former Broadcom CEO Henry Nicholas did is particularly remarkable to anyone who's enjoyed Brett Morgen's The Kid Stays in the Picture biopic about the life and times of Robert Evans. What's remarkable is that it was a technology CEO in Orange County and not someone in the abnormally amoral entertainment industry. As cynical and jaded as we may be about the foibles of the ultrarich of the Valley, even we were surprised by some of the stunts detailed in the allegations, if only for their naïveté. More »

Gene Simmons sex tape leaked on Web (NSFW)
"Watch the sex tape Gene doesn't want you to see," GenesSecret.com promises. The website purportedly hosts a NSFW sex tape of Kiss frontman Gene Simmons. Leave aside the question of whether anyone wants to see Simmons in flagrante. Does Simmons himself really object to the site? Nothing revives the Q factor of an aging rocker like a bit of scandal. Since he's no longer recording, just touring, he doesn't have a skittish label to appease. And thanks to the Internet, he doesn't have to rely on the tabloids to get his name out. Welcome to the age of DIY career makeovers. Is it really Simmons? Judge for yourself from these excerpts in which his face is most visible: More »

book excerpt
Who made blowjobs legal in California? Willie Brown did
It's hip to hate former mayor Willie Brown in San Francisco. How stupid. "Da Mayor" is far too smart, too charming and too awesomely impressive at political hardball to dismiss over a few foibles. The guy makes Machiavelli look like a wuss. My Slate pal Jack Shafer has noted Brown's nearly freakish IQ among dimbulb politicians. My wife says he's as sharp a dancer as he is a dresser. And oh yeah, he also passed some of California's key civil rights legislation. Basic Brown is his new memoir, cowritten with local gossip writer P.J. Corkery. The book contains this first-person account of how Brown and future martyr George Moscone tricked the California state senate into voting to abolish laws that banned common sex acts — straight, gay or otherwise. Good thing they had a helicopter handy. More »

Nude webcams okay when looking for money, not when you get it
Justin Kan, the original lifecaster behind Justin.tv, hyped his company on the prospects of seeing him naked or, better yet, in flagranti delicto. But if that was the draw of the site for you, forget it. Over the weekend, Justin.tv banned a would-be lifecaster after a single day of risqué broadcasting, and has since revised its community guidelines. Kan knew that appealing to the sensational side of lifecasting would draw interest, but now that the startup is attracting investors, sensationalism also brings potential controversy. And nothing chases away money like controversy. But what about the adherents to lifecasting? Won't they, too, be chased away if "lifecasting" is redefined as only including the parts of your life that would make it past network-TV censors? More »

How webcam sex nearly saved the world
NICK DOUGLAS — Last night, just as thousands of fans desperately desired, Justin.tv protagonist Justin Kan got laid. At least, we all assume that's what happened when the 24/7 camboy ended a second date (with a girl known to viewers as "J") by taking off his hat-mounted camera, turning off its microphone, joining J in her room, and turning off the lights. Why did this much-anticipated moment manifest as such a letdown? And why is it such a blow to the hope of humankind? More »

Bad week for backlash
Second Life has been taking it on the puss this past week or so, with more dogpiling on the economic questions, not to mention the whole nuking Reebok thing. And we enjoyed our own foray into supposedly popular SL locales and a first try at sex shopping. Speaking of first-timers, the account by Drew of "Toothpaste for Dinner" fame is one of the funniest things you'll read this month, so get to it. Thanks to those who sent in suggestions for SL places to visit, which we'll get to directly. Of particular interest are real-world entities, groups, or people that have SL presences. Drop us a line if you have tips for same. More »

Sex shopping in Second Life
As promised earlier, a first-timer's experience when sex shopping in Second Life warrants its own post. I'll tell you right up front that my immaturity levels do not speak well of me as a sex correspondent. Chris Peterson's Second Life Safari at Something Awful puts quite a bit more thought and action into the topic. That said, with even the Dutch getting lathered up about virtual child porn (and not in a good way), Second Life's burgeoning sex industry is almost politely underplayed when everything else about the service is praised to the skies. So let's go penis shopping, shall we? NSFW, if you haven't guessed. More »

A tour of Second Life's big empty
IBM is in Second Life! The John Edwards presidential campaign is in Second Life! Your mama is in Second Life! Media hype of Second Life has developed a subspecies focused on the novelty of X real-world entity establishing a virtual presence in the pretend world, which should then draw mobs of virtual gawkers. Yet these alleged mobs often boil down to one or two lookie-loos wandering around, or nobody at all. Critics of our SL criticism have rightly pointed out that we miss nuances because we're not "into" SL ourselves. Despite some bad experiences and disappointments, your plucky guest editor is giving it another go. So is born "Valleywag Vuckovic." After the jump, a safari into notable Second Life hype-points to connect with the locals. More »

How much sex in Second Life?
Wagner James Au asks just how much of Second Life commercial activity is sexual. Let's set aside — for now — the awkward ludicrousness of SL sexuality to entertain Au's notion that the vast majority of SL content is actually nonsexual, even in sexual venues. However, Au is so liberal in defining nonsexual content that his classification of the sexual becomes incredibly narrow. More »

Gavin Newsom enters "rehab"
We might have hoped for a day free of news from Gavin Newsom, San Francisco's sexomatic mayor. However, it turns out that Mayor Newsom's "renewed vigor" involves entering a rehabilitation program to deal with his drinking problem. However, the Delancey Street Foundation program doesn't require residency, so Newsom won't be stepping aside as mayor. Despite Delancey's claims that it's "no lightweight or B.S." program, Newsom may not be getting "counseling" so much as "helping." In future, he promises to not to "screw the brains out" of his employees' wives so much as "get buzzed and cop the occasional feel." More »

- The blog Techcrush brands itself as the antidote to popular blog TechCrunch. Round 1 in the race for the common cure-all goes to Techcrush, pending lawsuits and all.

People abusing the Internet: HP, Jason Fortuny, and lonelygirl15
- An unscrupulous LiveJournaler posted a fake Craigslist sex ad and published nearly 200 responses, including that of Microsoft employee Jerry Cummings (Warning: Dongs), pictured here. While this was a real asshat stunt to pull, that won't stop us from tittering at Jerry for sending dick pics using his work address. [Waxy.org]
- The LA Times can't figure out who's behind the amateur-but-not-amateur videos by YouTube star lonelygirl15, and they're too pussy to admit that all the evidence points to a progressive media company represented by the Creative Artists Agency.
