The Afternoon Meme: Godric Wrestles, "In It To Win It" RuPaul Dishes, Faghampton, and more

Somehow I ended up with a lot of commercials for mid-season replacement shows today. Don't worry, I skipped the Jerry Seinfeld one, I'm not cruel. HBO has something called How To Make It In America, and it looks like all hot guys and the fashion industry. Oh, and I think they're all straight, so it must be the "fantasy genre."

NBC has a new game show called Minute To Win It that looks silly. Well, game shows other than Jeopardy are silly by definition, but this one is so low rent it uses toilet paper as a physical challenge. Classy.

Last night Jay Leno talked about the image rehab he did by appearing in the Super Bowl commercial for David Letterman's show. Jay is so decidedly nice that he's either a robot, or he eats nothing but puppies and kittens behind closed doors.

This trailer is for a film called Mr. Right. It released in November, so I can only assume the trailer is out for a DVD or TV release. No movie in America would use some of the words in this film, much less title the trailer "Faghampton" so I'm hoping our Brits can do some cultural translation.

Just because I find him adorable, Allan Hyde (Godric on True Blood) messing around in the park with his buddy Hadley Klein. As Hadley says, it's "on like Donkey Kong."

Kelly Cutrone from Bravo's Kell on Earth was on The Bonnie Hunt Show yesterday, and I really love how she describes her relationship with her gay assistant Andrew.

After seeing Kelly on The Bonnie Hunt Show, I went over to Bravo's website to look for more footage. Instead I stumbled on Rikki Lake and RuPaul on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. First Ru used the low-rent version of the Dragulator to play a game, "Lean, Mean, Who's That Queen."

After the game, Ru describes spending Christmas with Cher and Kathy Griffin, which was definitely making the Yuletide gay.

This Old Spice commercial has been making the rounds and spurring discussion of masculinity and imagery. I have no doubt it will do the same here.

We all know I love big, complicated constructions, like domino falls and such. This is like a giant game of Mousetrap®, except with more fire and less mouse.

The Large Hadron Collider harbors a giant secret, and CollegeHumor.com is here to expose it. On another website I frequent, people would accuse me of inciting suicide by showing this.

I'm not entirely sure what to make of this short film. It's not what I expected, but it does prove one universal truth: There's always a blond girl with pigtails that's mean.

This dog is determined to get up the slide. I have a feeling this went on long after filming stopped. Dogs aren't really smart enough to quit.

And also from The Bonnie Hunt Show, we have her Feel-Good Moment of the Day, as submitted by Lorrie Sullenberger, with puppies destined to grow up and guide the blind. Is there anything sweeter?
