Kathy Griffin Throws The Woz To The Bears

Seth — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 18:35:00 EDT

In one of the crasser—and we mean that in the most splendid sense of the word—attempts at pandering to one's target audience we've seen, Kathy Griffin posed with a sloth of bear supermodels (just trust us, these three are the Cindy, Linda, and Naomi of their respective niche) for the cover of A Bear's Life magazine, a photoshoot captured for her reality show cameras. "Fine," you're thinking. "Kathy Griffin, a room full of mostly naked, middle-aged gay men draped on and around her. What's the big whoop?" Well, the big deal is that Steve "The Woz" Wozniak, the most bearish of all billionaire PC revolutionaries and Griffin's former boyfriend (who apparently never made it made to first base, even with the help of a speedcap-hacked Segway), was on hand to take in the proceedings. Not surprisingly, he was cajoled by the comedian into posing with his body-type teammates, who pestered him with questions about whether or not the iPhone 3G would be better equipped to handle the thousands of high-bandwidth images being traded daily on ChubbyFeeders.com.

Meathead's Gay Marriage Statement

Seth — Thu, 15 May 2008 21:05:38 EDT

This just in—an official statement from Rob Reiner on today's history-making California Supreme Court ruling legalizing gay marriage:

ROB REINER SAME SEX MARRIAGE STATEMENT
"Our nation was founded on the principle that all people are created equal. Today's decision is a huge step toward fulfilling that promise.

"Celebration is certainly called for, but the fight for equality is far from over.
"Court decisions may guarantee equality under the law, but the real struggle is for the tolerance of our fellow Americans.

"This decision by a majority-Republican court signals that it's time to put this kind of discrimination and bigotry behind us.

"Unfortunately, not everyone will hear the court's message. Already, here is a campaign being organized to overturn this decision at the ballot box. Californians must put an end to this sort of cynical and divisive politics once and for all.

"California has led our nation so many times before. I hope that once again we set an example that the nation will follow."

This concludes Meathead's statement on the California gay marriage ruling. Defamer Fun Fact: Rob Reiner is the spitting image of our Uncle Harvey, a dentist from Toronto. We're not even kidding! It's like they were separated at birth!

Remember Bearforce1, the world's first all-bear Dutch synth-disco boi-band? Of course you do! Well, they're in New York for their big American appearances, and our Rod Townsend and Nick McGlynn sat down with the bears last night for an EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW (as they say in the tabloids) that includes a live a cappella performance from the band.

· Since we suspect you found Rosie O'Donnell's face-griddling by the Nip/Tuck sickies as unpleasant as we did, please enjoy the above visual palate cleanser.
· Deflowering Britney Spears did not grant Justin Timberlake any special insight into her current mental state.
· The wearing of wigs in public is probably the most normal part of Paris, Prince, and Blanket Jackon's childhood.
· Ben Greenman presents "Me and OJ! The Musical."
· Upcoming NBC online service quickly declared "crappiest video download site ever." Also, "loathsome, defective."

More 'Captivity' Ad Fun: Elisha Cuthbert Vs. The Grizzly Bears

Mark — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 11:19:10 EDT

The producers of Captivity, still reeling from protests about their overly graphic, unauthorized billboards, should gird themselves for a fresh round of outrage from the public. Once it's discovered that their movie contains disturbing images of star Elisha Cuthbert being disembowelled by sadistic bears, they'll likely face protests by PETA, and be forced to fall back once again on the disingenuous explanation that they're just trying to tell an uplifting story of grizzly empowerment.

[Special thanks to the Defamer reader who somehow caught this as it flashed by during a commercial that ran on Li'l Bush last night.]
