• We can believe it's Boy Butter: Last Monday, Bravo aired what is being called the first ever national television commercial for an anal lubricant, and I missed it. Damn you, TiVO! (Technically, Boy Butter has advertised on television before ... and to equally creepy results, but only in local markets.)
