"Mystery Man" in Eddie Long Case Identified

It seems to be the gift that keeps on giving. 'Bishop' Eddie Long's sex scandal refuses to go away quietly, as now, the identity of a fifth accuser has been released. The young "mystery" man apparently played a part in the mediations that led to the settlement in the case. More on this story after the break.

Apple - Me Love You Long Time!

I have to say that I wanted my next blog posting to be of substance and significance, since I've been so busy that I haven't had time to post in a very long time. It's not that I have nothing to say, I've just been too busy to say it. And, it's actually nice having a life outside of the internet.

So to the subject of my post. My new found love for Apple.

Oh Yeah, She's Back!!!

Showtime's Nurse Jackie

Season Three of the Showtime hit Nurse Jackie returns March 28th. I can't wait. I know it's going to be just as good as last season. I really would love it if they would bring Mo Mo back. He was so sweet. And gorgeous. Here's a look at the trailer, after the break.

Apple: You Have Got To Do Better!

As much as I love my iPhone, Apple should realize that there are other options. And, if pushed, I will exercise those options.

Yesterday, I got two emails from the iTunes store. This, in and of itself is not unusual, as I get these emails whenever I purchase anything (purchase meaning both items with a dollar value and free items.) What was unusual was that I got these emails telling me that I had made two in-app purchases, to the tune of $19.99 each.

Considering how cheap I can be at times, especially in these hard times, this came as quite a shock. It also came as quite a shock to learn that these purchases were made from apps/vendors that I have never heard of. In other words, I did not initiate these transactions. (More after the jump...)

What's all the Hoopla regarding the "Gay Sauna" Doritos Ad?

Sorry if I don't get it. I thought it was funny. And, for all the right reasons.

Apparently there has been some major fallout regarding one of the contenders for the Doritos Crash the Superbowl competition, "Gay Sauna," in which a Black California man, wakes up to find a white guy ogling his nether region - where a bag of Doritos was strategically placed.

It had all the right moves for me; innuendo, the whole mandingo/jungle fever thing, and I got a good laugh. So why did people find fault with it? Here's the video in question, followed by an interview that George King, the black man in the commercial, did with NoMoreDownLow TV, in which he addresses the "controversy" after the break.

Gay Porn "Actor" in Real World: Las Vegas?

This really doesn't make a difference to me, as I can count on one finger the number of reality TV shows that I watch, but apparently, in the newest iteration of MTV's Real world (real? really?) There's a (former?) gay porn model (I hate the word star used in this context) who, may or may not be trying out with a girl.

MTV's The Real World

24-year-old Dustin Zito (who supposedly performed as "Spencer" with guys on the NSFW site Fratmen.com) is just one of the strangers sharing a Las Vegas suite in the 25th season of the MTV show. Note the picture here is not of the individual in question.

It promises to be interesting, I suppose, if you're into that sort of thing. You be the judge; the trailer follows after the jump.

The (Re)Writing of American History

It is sad that my very first post of 2011 has to be about an uneducated person, (not Sarah Palin) whose influence has the potential to lead astray those feeble minded among us who do not read.

I'm talking about Michele Bachmann, the darling of the Tea Party movement, whose knowledge of American History, well whose knowledge of anything of substance, period, seems to be gleaned from the pages of the National Enquirer. (Sorry Enquirer.)

In these two reports, we see what happens when one who's uneducated, and un-knowing, rewrites American History. We begin with CNN's Anderson Cooper, followed by MSNBC's Chris Matthews, ripping into the founder of the Tea Party Express, after the break.

Watch: Long's Items Were Allegedly Stolen to Gather Evidence

Via Rod 2.0: Atlanta's Fox 5 reported that the alleged burglary of Eddie Long's Private office which resulted in the arrest of one of the plaintiffs in the current sex coersion lawsuit, was to  gather evidence and to send Long a message.

In the report after the break, it is said that the items taken were returned, once information was copied from them.

Santa's response to the Economic Crisis

Merry Christmas to all, as the holiday approaches. This post is a continuation of a conversation that a dear friend and I had on facebook yesterday. She started out by saying "Don't expect much for Christmas... Santa's sleigh was repossessed, the North Pole is in foreclosure, and the elves have been laid off"

I continued the thread by suggesting that Santa may need to diversify, outsource some of his work, and do some worker retraining if that doesn't pan out... Well anyway, the joke continued to the point where she suggested that I tell Santa these things, and I asked her to do it, because I as out of minutes (Jamaicans - out of credits.) From there, things spiralled out of control, as it was disclosed that she has been on Santa's naughty list, and wanted me to convey to him that she wants to get off it.. So, here, in my limited imagination, is Santa's response to Sophia. (After the break.)

Watch: Eddie Long Case(s) moves to Mediation/Settlement

Interesting. After preaching very loudly that "I am not the man being portrayed" court filings reveal that Eddie Long's sexual coersion case is being moved to mediation. Is that an admission of guilt? What does that mean for his mega empire?

CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 ran the following report, which you can see after the break.
