AfterElton Briefs: Terror on the track at the World Outgames, a "Desperate Housewives" exit, and more!

Big Brother, now in pig vision!

Following this assortment of carefully-selected news items, interested readers can find a refreshing pic of a hot man in underwear after the jump. Yes, we're serious.

• Oh, this is too easy. Last night's Big Brother featured a veto competition that forced some housemates into wearing tight pink pig suits. How tight? So tight that CBS actually had to blur out the bacon. Watching the slur-slinging Jeff run around in a pig suit was, well, fitting. Form-fitting.

• Shawn Pyfrom is leaving Desperate Housewives to pursue "other interests", and will only make occasional guest appearances as gay character Andrew during the upcoming season. Um ... how is this different than what he was doing before? And does this mean we've seen the last of Andrew's hot nudie movie star/doctor husband?

• Out writer Lee Wind wore his "Legalize Gay" t-shirt around town, and blogs about the reactions it caused.

• Outsports has the harrowing account of World Outgames runner Dean Koga surviving a bomb attack on the track where he was competing: "I felt a sting and there was blood flowing from the relay baton I was holding".

• One of the more controversial moments at Comic-Con occurred with EA Games and their "booth babe" debacle (to promote their game Dante's Inferno they set up a contest requiring people to snap a "lustful" photo of themselves with one of the conventions booth workers, who were mostly young females). Needless to say, this didn't go over very well with many people, including a Gaygamer.net blogger named PixelPoet. He decided to send in a photo of himself from an earlier gaming event with a "booth bear". He ended up winning a runner-up prize, but is not too happy about it.
