BREAKING: I’m not a big American football fan, but there’s one season-end event I always tune in for, and some of you enjoys teh gridirons, so I thought I’d let you know that if you were planning on tuning in for the big showdown this weekend, you’d better make alternate plans.
Yes. This year’s Lingerie Bowl has been canceled. Again.
I’m sorry.
Amusingly, it’s been canceled over concerns about nudity.
No, really. Something about staging this year’s event at the Caliente Spa and Resort [NSFW] – a “clothing optional” facility where nudity is actually mandatory at the swimming pool. Caliente agreed to ban nudity on the actual playing field and sports area (because after all, you can’t have nude people on pay-per-view television) but LB organizers wanted more of the resort designated mandatory-clothing areas.
It’s easy to argue that the LB people should know better to stage a TV event at a nudist resort. But then the LB has always had trouble finding people willing to host a sports event involving women playing full-contact sports in lingerie. Which is odd, because the WWE never seems to have that problem.
But then the WWE isn’t tarnishing America’s biggest team sport. Not anymore. All Americans know that football is a man’s sport, and that lingerie babes should stay on the sidelines where they belong doing dance routines and cheering on the studs.
Insert tight-end joke here,

PYTHON LOVE
Jan. 28th, 2009 05:47 pmNow playing on the Monty Python channel: famous Americans talking about how and why they became Python fans.
A lot of what they say is true for me. I saw my first Python on PBS when I was around 11 or so, and I was hooked immediately – possibly because my mom (who is British) disapproved. And like many of them, my fandom transformed into an even bigger nerd in school than I was already. Which is saying a lot.
It’s true. Python was NEVER cool when it first started showing in the US (or at least in Middle Tennessee), and yet its influence on American comedy is undeniable. If nothing else, Saturday Night Live owes its very existence to Python’s cult success.
It’s definitely responsible for my goofy-ass sense of humor which was further fed by even more British comedy imports, from Benny Hill and Dave Allen to (yes) The Goodies. The fact that BBC shows were allowed to show women in their knickers was an influence in itself.
And then Douglas Adams came along and my transformation was complete. Which is why I’m writing stories about evil plots by extraterrestrials to use high-tech mind-control lingerie to enslave the Earth.
No need to thank me.
And now for something completely different,
