My Squirrel Loves Britney Spears... and Other Pop Culture Trinkets

There are some days when the giant shaking belly of jelly that is pop culture splits wide open and out gushes all manner of weird and wonderful tidbits. Today was just one of those days and here's how the ephemera of the 21st Century enriched me:

* Lady Gaga, she of "Poker Face" fame, and a woman who believes that using sex to sell yourself is an innovative gambit, told a Sydney newspaper that her avant-garde attire is inspired thus : "I have visions... from Jesus. They come from up there. From Jesus, from God. And the gays."

It seems that God and the gay boys are tighter than was previously reported and have formed a joint venture to dispense wacky fashion advice to up and coming popettes. What will Fred Nile make of that?!

* Someone in the USA has created a web site called runpee.com, which lists the best times to go to the toilet during all manner of movies. Me thinks that someone has way too much time on their hands.... and a particularly acute urinary tract infection!

* A man in Washington state in the USA was arrested, high on meth and clutching a porno mag, for standing over a grille on the street, and with string attached, using his penis as a puppet. It seems, Kermit, that your moment in the sun has passed. What will Miss Piggy make of this? It doesn't bear thinking about!
