More Naked Footballers (Well, It Fulfills Me, Anyway)
If there's one thing sport (and religion) are useful for, it's providing backstory, texture and colour to porn, or even ones own mental erotic meanderings. Hot on the heels of the Italian football gay sex orgy (oh, that sounds so good, don't it?) comes this dicklicious tale from Only In America. It's not really as exciting as everyone seems to think, but hell, it's a naked footballer in a locker room!
Sex, Football and a Rent Boy Named Victory
Ho ho ho, Santa's come early with a story so juicy it counts towards one of your 5 a day! Get this, kids: a third division Italian football player claims to have been paid for sex by at least thirty footballers, around half of which are said to be "top flight" international stars.
He's known only as Victory, and he has this to say: "I have about 30 clients who are footballers and I would say that a dozen are Serie A and national team players - several times I have been asked to take part in group sex sessions. Players from the same team and my friends and it is always just for sex. They all know I am a footballer as well but they like me because I am discreet. A lot of them are bisexual, they are married or have girlfriends. They have a respectable image but none of them will ever admit to being gay, not for the time being anyway."
On the surface it might sound a little too sensational, a bit too much like the plot of a porn movie, but should only provoke a "Is anyone really surprised?" shrug from you.
It's simply common sense that some footballers are gay or bisexual, and that they'd go to any lengths to hide the fact. But at the same time, footballers are also bored, over-indulged, overgrown schoolboys with hugely inflated incomes, and egos to match. So don't hold your breath waiting for names to be named. The clubs and the players can buy anything - sex, and silence...
Is D'Angelo Coming Back?
D'Angelo will release a new album in spring next year, nearly eight years after the release of the seminal neo-soul record Voodoo, numerous sites and blogs are reporting. Hopefully this isn't another Maxwell - Black Summer's Night, the album that will be released next spring, next summer, next autumn, next winter... maybe next year, or the one after (does anyone actually believe that record will ever drop?) No word yet on the album's name or concrete release dates, but there's talk of a single before the end of the year (which year is that, exactly?) The album may include the leaked track Really Love. Read my feature on D'Angelo's rise and fall here.
Islam Is Never To Blame, Is It?
This picture is one of a series of 35 at boston.com. The other 34 in The Big Picture series are no less harrowing. "Islam is incompatible with democracy and freedom. Islam and democracy are in the opposite sides of the spectrum... Islam is anti-democracy... And let us not be deceived - Islam is not a religion of peace. Citizens... must be vigilant in understanding the imminent threat of Islam to their culture and on their own soil. The threat of Islam is real." Amil Imani Islam: The greatest threat to Western Civilization and Christianity is a must-read article at Islam Watch, written by Amil Imani, "an Iranian born, pro-democracy activist who resides in the United States of America. He is a poet, writer, literary translator, novelist and an essayist." I'm not concerned about the threat to Christianity - I'm opposed to that to - but there can be no doubt that this barbaric, medieval cult is eroding progressive, liberal civilisation.
Islamic extremism accounts for a quarter of all terrorism fatalities worldwide, according to statistics gathered in 2006 by the National Counterterrorism Center of the United States. For a majority of the overall fatalities, Islamic extremism was responsible. A catalogue of Islamic terror attacks can be found here. Expect to see more stories from Islam Watch - Telling The Truth About Islam (Islam Under Scrutiny By Ex-Muslims) at the ka-os blog.

Harvey Milk
God forgive me for my ignorance (which I might have said when I was Catholic) but I didn't know who or what Harvey Milk was/is. I dismissed the name in irritation as some America-centric thing, wholly irrelevant to me (maybe because the news flashes I read on sites like Towleroad assumed the reader would know who Harvey Milk was and didn't expand). And then I saw this post, at the lasciviously political SGL Café and my eyes were opened.
Don't walk around with your eyes shut as I've been doing. Watch the trailer. It's important.
