I've always thought that as reality shows go, The Amazing Race was a class act, with diverse casting, drama derived from the competition and the travel, as opposed to say, drinking and sex on The Real World. But judging by the interviews I've been seeing with the Globetrotters, the editing was what caused it to seem that there was any bad blood on this season between them and Team Gay.

For World AIDS Day yesterday, the adorable Forbidden Love pair, Christian and Ollian, recorded a message about condoms and ribbons and loving yourself and all those important things, but I couldn't really focus because they were being cuter than Surprise Kitten from yesterday's Meme.

We have 8 of the 10 Most Fascinating People of 2009: Adam Lambert, Kate Gosselin, Sarah Palin, Lady GaGa, Brett Favre, Tyler Perry, Glenn Beck, and Jenny Sanford. Babs always saves her top pick as a surprise, but that still leaves us one short. President Obama has to be one of the missing names.

I'd be willing to bet that your cable bill is going up, because someone has to pay for Comcast buying NBC/Universal for around $30 billion, now that GE bought the 20% it didn't already own from the French Vivendi for $5.8 billion. Confused? Yeah, me too. I just hope it means that they replace Jay Leno with Chelsea Handler.

Remember how on the Jetsons they ate food pills all the time, just popping a capsule instead of eating a sandwich? Well, we've found something so much cooler - vodka in pill form! Swallow a capsule, get drunk. Also bypasses the tastebuds, so I might be able to consume tequila again.

Speaking of the Jetsons, I want my flying car! Evidently, one recently got off the ground for 60 seconds, in a flight that the pilot called "unremarkable." Unremarkable? It's a freaking flying car! And I want one. Preferably with air-to-ground missiles, because I've got a lot of rage built up over the last eight years. 

Bill Donohue of the Catholic League and all the Christians are up in arms because a naked Playboy model is wearing angel wings, a halo, and holding up a crucifix to cover the major bits in a new PETA ad. They're frothing at the mouth over this, claiming that PETA is bad for all the furry creatures of the world. Makes you smile. 

If you've been reading the news this week, you know that Dubai, builder of palm-shaped islands and world's tallest buildings, is basically broke, a victim of the global real estate implosion. Which makes the news of the concept art for the Marvel (new division of Disney) Superhero theme park seem...sad. No idea on whether this place will ever be built, but if it was, it might be enough for me to pretend to be straight one day to attend.

That crazy-tall Burj Dubai Tower has got nothing on the crazier stacked garden concept that China is getting ready to build in Chongquin, with uneven platters, greenery, and sustainable design. I'd normally call it concept art, but they say they intend to build it.

Going with some literary information, we find that the cult hit Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies is being turned into a miniseries. It might be the rare case when the movie is better than the book, because zombies are kind of a visual medium. And the novel The Kindly Ones by Jonathan Littell has picked up the Literary Review Bad Sex in Fiction Award. With lines like "I came suddenly, a jolt that emptied my head like a spoon scraping the inside of a soft-boiled egg" I can see why it won. Maybe we shouldn't complain about Brothers & Sisters so much?

You know how it takes Oliver Fish, tech genius, like 10 minutes and a USB cable to get a GPS lock on a cell phone? Or that they're always getting a warrant for a cell phone on the 5.2 million cop shows on CBS? It turns out that's fiction, because there's not enough minutes in a year for the government to have requested GPS coordinates on cell phones from Sprint 8 million times last year. That's not counting T-Mobile, AT&T, or Verizon, each of which is like 5 times bigger than Sprint. Oh, and the government pays Sprint for every location lookup. I think I just paid for healthcare.

Silly shopping moments. We all know how I like to feed my inner 8-year-old, but even more than that, my inner 8-year-old likes a good food fight. And with the Zing! Spoon, it's like having a catapult for your mashed potatoes. And keeping with yesterday's potty theme, we have the Toilet Frog Paperclip Holder. Kind of works in reverse, what with the magnet in the frog's behind.

Video Meme

Yesterday, when Adam Lambert was on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, she introduced a holiday variation on her Blindfolded Musical Chairs game: Blindfolded Sit On Hunky Santa's Lap game. You know who was thoughtful enough to get you the video for your stocking? Me!

There's a new web series by Jon M. Chu called LXD, or League of Extraordinary Dancers, and it has Harry Shum from Glee. I have no idea if it has any gay dancers, but it has several hot dancers, and making a dance series without a gay would just be silly, right? Until we know, enjoy the man candy and the high-style of the trailer.

We've shown you my love of tilt-shift video in the past, but this one of Hulk Hogan & Rick Flair wrestling at a Hulkmania event in Australia may be a favorite. It's just they look like silly little toys, which fits pro wrestling perfectly.

Last night on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brian, Chris Colfer sat down and gave a cute interview where he made fun of himself. It appears that's what he's going to go with in interviews now, which is fine with me, since he works it well. He's also got so much personality, I keep finding it tough to believe he was this much of a dork a mere year ago. Still, he's lovable.

And for the big video finish, we have CollegeHumor doing a parody of "I've Got a Feeling" about what happens when you drink tequila. Or what happens when I drink tequila. Tequila is evil, OK?
