Wearing This Shirt Won't Get You Sodomized After All
There's no longer reason to crap your pants if dad runs off to church in a green polo shirt with the collar turned up. Chances are he's not sending out a signal to bone anyone in sight.

But at least a few people with said fashion taste had to have received some funny looks at July 4 barbecues after Something Awful circulated a now-debunked Internet hoax about the practice of "greenlighting," defined as such in the Greenlighter FAQ:

"Greenlighting is when a male or female (often bisexual) will wear a green shirt, either polo or otherwise, and "pop" or pull their collar up. This marks them as being ready for sex with anyone who chooses them, be it male or female, they are "collared" when someone approaches them and pulls their collar down. This leads to sexual intercourse in most cases or sodomy when both partners are male."

SA's principle pranksters comment on their experiences pushing the faux movement, and at least one person shares my opinion that this could be a self-fulfilling meme.

So while Wikipedia users are debating the worth of their Greenlighting entry — many calling for deletion on the basis of neology — I say keep it around for a bit. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few of these shirts on the sreets, if only for laughs.

(Wikipedia also has an entry on the porn parody film Saving Ryan's Privates, proving that all but maybe three things in the world are indexed there.)

Today's Web Finds:

Video: Blind Date With Crack Whore — A clip from The Damn Show DVD parodies Roger Lodge and a blind date between a nervous white guy and a black crackwhore who says during a meal after smoking the rock, "Look, I'm gonna take a shit, and then I'll be right back." No hot-tub scene, but absolutely hilarious. In the post-date interview, she says, "I can't believe you set me up with a cracker with a two-inch goddamn penis" and "Hell no, I don't wanna see that mutha fucker no goddamn more!" (Thanks, Shumpy)

Photo: Britney's Huge Pregnant Nips — That's just part one. Here's part two. I'm telling you right now, how she looks six months after popping out that kid has more money riding on it than the NHL labor situation. We're talking a mega-million-dollar difference between "Britney's Back — and She's One Hot Momma!" and "Britney's Battle With the Bulge — a PEOPLE Exclusive."

Phallic Logo Awards — These are hilarious, and I covered the winner in a previous post titled "The Worst Logo of All Time."

NJ Bikini Team: Christina Penegar — Great pics of this fitness model. And she's into tumbling and knee boarding. Sounds kinky, baby!

Video Rant: McDonald's Now Takes Credit Cards — If you plan to use a credit card to purchase a $1.25 hamburger, Drinking With Bob is the last guy you want to pay in front of. I would be No. 2.

Internet Sidelines of Well-Known Entertainment Figures — The Onion A.V. Club rounds up some site where celebrities are working on some side projects, such as Leonard Nimoy's photography, Billy Dee Williams' art and Michael Madsen's poetry.

Yahoo's Tech Tuesday: Blogs, RSS and Podcasts — Looking to join the millions of people who've started their own boring websites? Yahoo tells you how to become your own publisher of drivel. AOL Journals? Woah, those sound 2 kewl!

RateMyBeer.com Lists Top 100 Brewers — What, no love for the Beast? Still one of the great uncomplimentary nicknames. Even college kids are smart enough to know that a beer that costs less than a newspaper, tastes like shit, and leaves you with a hangover while you're still drinking it should not be named Milwaukee's Best.

Today's News Links:

Why Do All These Homosexuals Keep Sucking My Cock? — In an editorial for The Onion, Bruce Heffernan says he's fed up: "Believe me, I have no interest in getting my cock sucked by some queer. But try telling that to the guy at the beach club. Or the one at the video store. Or the one who catered my wedding. Or any of the countless other homos who've come on to me recently. All of them sucked my cock, and there was nothing I could do to stop them."

Lohan: 'You Will Never See Me in a Nude Scene' — If we're talking feature film, maybe. But does anyone really think she's never getting naked for cash? Anyway, she's not even on my Holy Grail list of celebs we haven't yet seen nekkid. A year since writing it, though, I'm bumping Jennifer Aniston to No. 1, with Britney on the disabled list.

Murderball Star on the Sex Lives of Quadriplegics — A Nerve.com interview asks the same sort of questions the New York Post recently did. Some publicist must be selling that angle.

We're Going to Eat Out of a What? — Answer: Toilet. (With pics.)

Today's New York Links:

Nightmare on Orchard Street — An essay in the Village Voice by Rachel Aviv, one of 33 New Yorkers who paid a deposit on the same apartment ... to a woman who fled for Germany with their loot.

NYC Guitar School — I think this might be a new place, offering 10-week courses and private lessons. And check this out, they offer a Rock Band course in which students play a show at the end of the program.

Accomplice: New York — Last week's write-up in Time Out New York described this Saturday-afternoon event as "equal parts interactive theater, puzzle challenge and walking tour." I'm gonna give it a shot next month. (They're booked this Saturday and next.)

Comments: Wearing This Shirt Won't Get You Sodomized After All

Couple of thoughts...

Re: McDonald's
At the places where you don't have to sign, credit cards are often faster than having idiot #1 ask idiot #2 how to break a $5 bill.

Re: Celebrities we've never seen naked
Wasn't Jennifer Aniston briefly naked in The Good Girl, or am I remembering that wrong?

Ane wasn't Elizabeth Hurley topless in The Weight of Water... I seem to remember an ice cube.

I'm not counting like some two-second scene where you have to rewind 100 times to see if there's nipple.

And grainy paparazzi shots don't count. I'm talking like Rachel Hunter, going BAM! all at once.

My favorite tee this summer is a green polo, with a collar that always turns up.

This whole 'greenlighting' thing could explain my 4th of July. Heh.

Posted by lucy at July 7, 2005 4:24 AM

It is not my style to a wear collared shirt, but I am going to buy a green one today. I will report about the results:). I love this.

Britney and many more celebs before her, flaunt their big pregnant belly like it is beautiful or sexy.It is disgusting to look at and they need to put it away.

You can use a credit card at McDonalds? I can't believe that people still eat that shit.

How can New Jersey have a bikini team and Cass isn't on it?

And then they wonder why they have yet to win a bikini league championship.

Posted by monte at July 7, 2005 5:43 PM

That girl Christina from the NJ bikini team is hot. Her mistake was adding New Jersey to the site name. I am sure people aren't looking at that site because of it.

There is nothing "Jersey" about her...except maybe for her hair.

Posted by Cass at July 7, 2005 7:51 PM

Yeah....I considered sending Diesel an angry email requesting that Christina be set free.

Fortunately, I had a moment of clarity shortly before hitting the send button and will be around alot longer to continue posting to these blogs.
