<![CDATA[Seth Rogen's Fake Star Wars Porn Versus Actual Star Wars Porn [NSFW]]]> Will Zach and Miri Make A Porno's "Star Whores" spoof skin-flick stand up against actual Star Wars porn? We've collected the best Star Wars porn from artistic porn site Cathouse and compared it with a few shots from the new Rogen comedy. On one hand, you've got Elizabeth Banks as Princess Leia, a dianoga dildo and little tubby Rogen running around with a blaster strapped to his exposed thigh in Solo's duds. But Miravi from Cathouse is a genius, as the artist manages to disrobe a young Aunt Beru and get her and Padme together. It's NSFW in any capacity.

The drawing looks so lifelike, some of the more graphic drawings left me taken aback, especially when he gives Princess Leia the Requiem For A Dream treatment.

It's interesting how many minor characters, from the Star Wars comics and books, Miravi includes in his art along with Leia and Padme. Because, honestly, how many Leia/Padme pics can you make? True everyone remembers Aayla Secura's sexy Twi'lek features way more than her name, but it's sort of amazing how porn makes you confront the scarcity of memorable female characters in the actual Star Wars movies. Just the fact that he had to bring Beru in (a character that had maybe four minutes of camera time) is pretty telling. Still, you gotta love the little droids pulling off Padme's clothes, makes the whole thing seem innocent... until you scroll to the next drawing.

<![CDATA[The Power User's Guide to This Web Site]]>
Whether you're new to this site or you're a star commenter, chances are there are lots of things you didn't know you could do hidden in these pages. From comments to profiles to tags to feeds to embedding images and video clips into your posts here, a little know-how can go a long way. Find out everything you ever wanted to know about how to get things done around Lifehacker and its family of sites—including Gawker, Gizmodo, io9, Jezebel, and Valleywag—after the jump.

Sign Up

reg-thumb.png While we'd like to spare you hackneyed slogans about privileges and membership, it is true that Lifehacker and friends are a lot more interesting and useful when you're actually signed in. Anyone can register for an account here and start "clipping" (or bookmarking) articles in their user profile, and following other commenters (more on that later). If you haven't already, just go ahead and sign up and log in. Now we can get this party started.


Audition for Commenting Privileges

Just because you have a login to Lifehacker and the other Gawker sites doesn't mean you automatically get commenting privileges. (There are too many spammers and jerks on the internet for us to let just anyone in that easy.) To earn yourself the privilege of posting comments here, we make you work for it—just a little bit.

To audition for commenting privileges, once you're signed in, submit an on-topic, intelligent, funny and helpful comment or two or three on a few of our posts. We've got a small group of moderators who check out comment auditions and green light the users who have proved they're humans with something good to say. Once your first comment is approved, you can post public comments from there on in. That approval process usually takes a few hours if not half a day, so if you've submitted a comment and you're waiting, hang in there. We're on it. (Hint: We don't approve people who post things like "First!", include their blog URL for no good reason in the signature of every comment, or don't have anything of substance to say.) Get more info in our Comments Frequently Asked Questions.


commentviaemail1.pngComment via email. If you don't want to go through the whole registration rigmarole but have a burning comment on a post here, you can send us a comment via email. Just click on the @ button on any post to get its individual address. But! Before you send your email! Make sure you've deleted your email signature, especially the one with your full name and address in it. We don't approve comments with full names and addresses in them. Here's more on posting a comment via email.


Become a Comment Master

Once you've earned yourself commenting privileges, the lights are off, the keg is tapped, and the music's turned up. Seriously—the good stuff on this site? It happens in the comments. Here's a list of stuff you can do in the comments (besides just type into the text box and press "submit").
  • Reply to individual commenters. reply.pngWhen you want to respond to a particular comment in a thread, click on the arrow, as shown. That will insert the users' name into your comment with a link back to his or her comment. Right now there's no easy way to see only replies to your comments without scrolling yourself, but it is something we've got on the to-do list. Advanced tip: Install the Better Lifehacker Firefox extension to see replies nested under their parents, like this:
  • Preview your comment as you type. There's nothing worse than typing out a thoughtful comment, pressing submit, and seeing a typo publish to the site. Select the "preview comment" box to see exactly how your comment will look when it publishes as-you-type. (Hint: Firefox users, the Better Lifehacker extension will automatically check that box for you.)
  • Bold, italicize, and add links to your comment with HTML. We allow several HTML tags inside our comments, from <b></b> for bold, <i></i> for italics to <a></a> for links. Some crafty troublemakers even discovered that the <blink></blink> tag works. (More on how to turn that nonsense off later.) To see if an HTML tag works, select the "preview comment" checkbox and just enter it—you'll know if it works if it displays correctly in the preview.
  • truncatedlinks.pngLinks to other web pages work no matter what. What, you don't speak HTML? That's fine. If you simply copy and paste a web site address into your comment, our system will pretty it up for you automatically, as shown.
  • Get HTML help. If you don't know HTML but still want an easy way to pretty up your comments, download the Better Lifehacker Firefox extension. It adds handy HTML links above the comments box, among other things. See how the HTML helpers work:

  • youtubeembed.pngEmbed playable YouTube video clips. To share a video clip with other commenters, just copy and paste the URL to YouTube into the comments. Our system will automatically embed a thumbnail of the video. Other users can just click "Watch Video" to expand that thumbnail and play the clip.
  • Embed images. While we're not sure if this is a bug or a feature, you can embed images that live out on the web into your comment—but the process is a little wonky. Use the <img src="http://imageURLhere.com" HTML tag but don't close it properly. Use the "preview comment" feature to try this out. Click on this image to see what embedded photo looks like in a comment thread. http://lifehacker.com/assets/resources/2008/06/imginthread1-thumb.png


Tweak Your User Profile

Now that you're a badass commenter, it's time to show off your stuff in your user profile. Go to your profile page by clicking your user name, then click on the "Edit Profile" link. There you can:
  • avatar.pngSet your avatar, homepage, and status. Show your face in your comments by adding an image to your profile. Let other users know who you are and what you're up to by setting your web site address and status, too.
  • See what your friends have said. Anywhere on any web site, click on the + sign next to any other user to add that person to your friends list. That means their comment activity will show up on your profile, too.
  • Get a star. Highly-connected users—people who have lots of friends and lots of people following them—get a star next to their names in comment threads. Here's more on how to become a star commenter.
  • Bookmark posts by marking them as a favorite. Save any post for viewing later before it falls off the front page by clicking the heart icon at the bottom. This will "clip" the post and save it to your profile's Favorites page, as shown. favorites.png


Get Only the Posts You Care About

If we're pumping out posts faster than you can keep on top of them, there are a few ways to filter, slice, and dice the content you see.
  • Get our weekly top stories via email. Pop your email address into the box on our sidebar to subscribe to a weekly newsletter that contains the most popular posts of the week. On rare, "holy cats you've got to see this" occasions, we'll send you breaking news via this list, too.
  • Subscribe to only the stories you want in your feedreader. Get only our top stories, or just the topics you want to see by tweaking the URL you subscribe to in your newsreader. Here's more on how to get only the posts you want from Lifehacker's site feeds.


Advanced Nerdery

If you've read this far, you deserve a few advanced tricks to make life here a little better.
  • Turn off the blink tag. If the folks who insist on using the unfortunate <blink> tag in our comments are giving you a headache, here's how to disable it in Firefox.
  • Set up Firefox search keywords. Quickly search Lifehacker's archives, and navigate to tag pages and user profiles using Firefox keyword shortcuts.
  • Add Lifehacker to Firefox's search box. Easily search our archives from Firefox's search box with the Lifehacker search plug-in.
  • Adjust your time zone and more with Better Lifehacker. Add a few more helpful features to the Gawker sites with our newly-released Better Lifehacker Firefox extension.


Obviously there are dozens of more useful features that we could (and are working on) adding to the site. Got questions about the ones mentioned here? Did we forget something good? Let us know in the comments. We'll update this post with any new developments as we go along.

<![CDATA[There Is No Nighttime Sex Act That Escapes The All-B.J.-Seeing 'Big Brother' Eye]]> With the fumigation circus tent removed from the Big Brother house on the Radford lot, every stubborn germ, virus, and parasite from the last batch of contestants effectively snuffed, we're now ready for another round of the hit CBS reality series. And while there was certainly nothing broke with the show's last incarnation—who doesn't love watching 16 off-duty bartenders stand around a kitchen island sharing Jew-spotting tips?—they've tweaked Season 9 considerably. Big Brother: 'Til Death Do You Part pits eight teams of two against one another: all couples. And by that we mean, sex-having couples.

This, of course, led the show's night-vision cameras to capture some not-exactly-family-viewing activities, available to pervy all-access premium subscribers. (Video above, possibly NSFW.) Upon subsequent viewings, we're stricken by how team Matt and Natalie's bobbing-comforter exploits are rendered even hotter by the snoring accompaniment of an unseen housemate. (Seriously, Julie Chen. Sometimes we have no idea how you preside over all this tawdriness. Do you kiss Les with that mouth?)

<![CDATA[All Shirts $9.99]]> judging-closeup2.gifAs we told you back in December, sadly the Gawker Shop is closing. So in an effort to clean out our warehouse, we're offering all shirts for just $9.99. Many shirts — including Yes, I'm Quietly Judging You, Douché, and I Hate Your Kids — are almost sold out, but some sizes remain. Some other shirts, like New York: If You Can Make It Here, You Probably Have a Trust Fund and I'm Fine have more stock. Try your luck!

<![CDATA[Long-Rumored Marcia Cross Nude Photos Surface Online, Ushering In Second Golden Age Of Firecrotch Jokes]]> marcia-nu.jpgThe Sultan of Sleaze David Hans Schmidt may be dead, but his less-than-gentlemanly legacy lives on: Like a sulphur bubble belched to the surface of the swampiest reaches of the internets, nude photos of Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross, taken by her husband and discovered in the trash by garbage men outside the couple's home, have materialized online.

(The NSFW link is here.) The shots, much as Schmidt described back when the couple was trying to legally block him from brokering them back in Oct. '06, depict Cross emerging from an outdoor shower, completely au naturelle in every sense of the word, and looking not particularly thrilled to be having her picture taken. Now, if you'll excuse us, we need to head out in search of a loofah, a bar of Lava soap, and the closest outdoor shower.

<![CDATA[All Shirts $17.99 in the Gawker Shop]]> How can a t-shirt convey all of our complex feelings? It just can't - though Lord knows we've tried, with "Douché" (sold out in all men's sizes!) and "I Hate Your Kids", and even "It's Not Whoring If You Do It For Free"!

But the moment has come when we have found that we have nothing left to say that can fit on a t-shirt. Plus, coming up with such pith is really tiring.

So we're selling out the rest of our t-shirts and then THERE WILL BE NO MORE. You know what that means: They'll become "collector's items" and nerds will keep them sealed in plastic bags for the future. We've even discounted all shirts to $17.99, and many sizes are already sold out. So buy them now, or forever hold your peace.

<![CDATA[Bidding Now Open On Hayden Panettiere's Indestructable Spanky Pants]]>
If you were one of the many horny mailroom clerks, assistants, or bosses who quietly snatched out of the nearest recycling bin the issue of Variety featuring a tantalizing glimpse of Heroes's Hayden Panettiere's stretchy, crimson underthings, we bring news of an exciting charitable opportunity currently underway at the NBC Universal Auction Store:

To the highest bidder goes the very self-healing-cheerleader costume that launched millions of permavirgin-despoiling fantasies, spanky pants included. Whether you're a beginner or veteran hobbyist, this item will surely become one of the crown jewels of your pervy TV memorabilia collection. We therefore urge you to place your offers quickly, lest you lose out to the doggedly determined current high bidder, an anonymous patron hailing from the L.A. area who goes only by the screenname "Pvt. Chris Taylor."

<![CDATA[Vaginas With Teeth Get The Tinseltown Treatment]]>
Above is the trailer for Teeth, a horror/comedy about a girl who discovers that she has vagina dentatateeth in her taco! It first premiered at Sundance last January, where it gained lots of buzz and critical acclaim, and the film's star Jess Weixler won the Sundance Special Jury Prize for Acting. Reviews say Teeth is full of "raunchy sexuality and ridiculous gore, including a number of chopped off penises," which sounds right up our alley. And by "alley," we mean "vagina." Kidding! Anyway, it opens in NYC and L.A. November 30, with a wider release in mid-December.
