The World's Most Uncomfortable Green Room?


Pedophilia has been in the news a lot these days, thanks to those pervy Catholics, and I feel it is my duty to take this opportunity to warn you all that pedophilia does not always happen behind closed doors or confessional curtains--sometimes it goes on right in front of your eyes, on national television.



Just Like Mom was the longest-running game show in Canadian history, even though it was only on the air for six seasons (How quaint!-Ed.).

The last five seasons were hosted by famed Toronto Blue Jays announcer Fergie Olver, who was the husband (now divorced) of the show's creator, Catherine Swing--which is an unfortunate name, considering what follows (Zing! -Ed.).

Now, I am the first to admit that I don't know much about Mr. Olver--including whether or not he is still alive--but that is only because his wikipedia profile has been deleted and scouring the internet has mysteriously (?) turned up no leads.

Most likely that is a result of his camp's reaction to the following video, which no doubt has made life extraordinarily difficult for Mr. Olver, if he is still alive:



Keep in mind that this is what happened when he knew the cameras were on.

What happened backstage after the show? What happened during casting sessions? What happened when he took the winning kids to Walt Disney World?

If anything more sinister ever happened besides these televised kisses, I hope he died a painful death, bled dry as a result of repeated slashes of his penis with a dull, rusted knife wielded by a vengeful victim.


Can you believe the good people of Canada let this go on for so long? Did they think it was cute that it seems all Fergie was after was a kiss on the lips from little girls?

I mean, I know it was 'a different era' and this is a heavily-edited video, but still--if an unwanted kiss happened even once it would be worth mentioning, and that is clearly not the case.

Hmmmm...methinks once again, as with 'the Catholic situation,' the rise of the military-industrial complex, the lip-service of modern-day politicians, real-estate speculation, the health-care situation, Social-Security raiding, and the current omnipotence of guilt-free corporations, previous generations were asleep at the wheel and future generations must pay the price.

So sad...

(Thanks to Videogum, btw, for introducing me to this ass-clown!)

Suicide: Carradine-Style


I can't believe I've been so busy lately (sorry, fans) that I have been unable to comment on the fact that David Carradine hanged himself by his balls in a hotel room in Thailand. My apologies.

Was it suicide? Was it poorly-executed autoerotic asphyxiation? Does it matter?

How many other celebrities have stuck their loved ones in this embarrassing situation? I can only think of one--Michael Hutchence, former lead singer of INXS.

Can you think of any others?

For more information on the "David Carradine Sex or Death 2009" news tornado, please tune in here.

Meanwhile, it's time for another Reader Poll:

What is the most embarrassing way you can imagine being found dead?

My submission:
Lying on the floor of my parents' bedroom, in an ankle-deep pool of dried blood and excrement, a murderous hamster gnawing his way out of my ass. Whoops--sorry mom and dad!

Interesting Tidbit: While researching celebrity suicides, I found this gem:
Ray Combs - talk show host (Family Feud)
1996 --- hanged himself on the night of June 2, 1996, with bed sheets in his hospital room at Glendale Adventist Hospital while on a 72-hour "suicide watch."
Happy Tuesday, Planet Earth! Be careful with those ropes!
