How Hollywood Makes Killing Countrymen Cool


The hateful, self-loathing and oft-incorrect Sarah Palin and her wild ranting about Barack Obama's "terrorist connections" got our colleague Cord Jefferson thinking about pop culture, language and an easily manipulated public.

Thus, Cord decided to highlight this phenomenon with a non-comprehensive list of the American public's most favorite terrorists. You'll notice that many of the people after the jump have been described as "freedom fighters" (what a cute little shift in terms) by the men portraying them, all of whom are handsome and white.

» Hating "Hater."

Mollygood editor Cord Jefferson went wild on people who use the word "hater" today, declaring a moratorium on the word. Wrote the irate journo: "…More often than not, people characterized as 'haters' are more accurately 'people with differing opinions.'" Someone drank their haterade this morning! [MG]

» Biological Differences.

Upon hearing Justin Timberlake described as "hunky," Mollygood editor Cord Jefferson wonders, "We thought “hunky” was reserved for guys like Vin Diesel and Harrison Ford. Isn’t Justin Timberlake more like a cute hall monitor?" Oh, come now, Cord - Timberlake's at least an adorable lab partner. Maybe even a soccer player? [MG]

Mollygood editor Cord Jefferson returns to the United States next week sans kidney, but with a deep, loving loathing for fat Americans and their love for husky leaders. [MG]

Our colleague Cord Jefferson's been in Saudi Arabia for what feels like a billion years. And, as some of you may know, he traveled over yonder to donate a kidney to his father, a surgery that goes down today. Never fear, however, because Princess Cordless going to come out on top:

Still fuming in the stink of an iodine shower, an IV drip in my right hand making my typing difficult, I’m buzzing from a sleeping pill and thinking about what’s right to write when one will be waking up to a whole new life.

How about this:

I am not scared, because every last little thing was worth it.

We can't wait to see your sick scar, mister J!

» Have Gunn, Will Travel?

Our colleague and long-lost chum Cord Jefferson currently resides in Saudi Arabia, where he's doing the right thing by donating a kidney to his father. And, according to Jefferson's peepers, he may not be only "friend of Queerty" in the oil-rich country: "Um, I think I just saw Tim Gunn carefully surveying a menu in front of a restaurant in Saudi Arabia. I couldn’t confirm it was him, because I was with a lot of people who wouldn’t “get it,” but: that silvern hair!" On another note - Jefferson, get your ass home! We miss you! [MG]

You may or may not know this, reader, but Mollygood editor Cord Jefferson currently resides in Saudi Arabia, where he's waiting to give his ill father a kidney. It's all very dramatic and we miss him very much, so we're dedicating today's Afternoon Aural to Jefferson, who we once turned into a lady.

Jefferson's request? "Anything from the 10,000 Maniacs Unplugged performance." Thus, "Because The Night"…

PS: Natalie Merchant, release another album. Our inner lesbian needs you.

PPS: Cord! Come the fuck back!

Our pals over at Stereohyped, Cord Jefferson and Lauren Williams, ask the eternal question: Am I Black Enough For Ya?" Also, if you don't understand the headline, it's the title of the late, great, gay Marlon Riggs' seminal, cinematic exploration of race. You should watch it, own it and love it.

Many of you may have heard about the LeBron James Vogue's "Shape Issue" controversy. Those of you who haven't need look no further than the above image.

Did the Vogue staffers really intend to present the NBA superstar as King Kong? That wasn't our impression. While we did think it queer they didn't doll him up in a suit, we just figured they wanted to make sure readers knew he's a basketball player. Are we just naive? Maybe.

Our colleague, Cord Jefferson, who has 26-years of blackness under his belt, offered this take:

The Vogue cover is inexcusable for this reason: Even if the photo was not intentionally alluding to the ape imagery of yesteryear, Annie Leibovitz and Anna Wintour, "experts" on imagery that they are, should have been able to look at that photograph and realize what sorts of feelings it would evoke in the public. At worst, the picture's racist, at best, it's evidence of glaring ineptitude.

That straight boy sure does have him some sass.

So, readers, if you're not too mad at us right now, what's your take on this James outrage?

Cord Jefferson's black? We never knew! [SH]

Our colleague Cord Jefferson launched a "secret thread" yesterday at Mollygood. Basically, he's implored all of his readers to submit their deepest, darkest, most disturbing secrets. Jefferson's favorite: "When I masturbate (daily), I usually eat my pre cum. But never the jism." Such refined tastes!

We bet you guys have some crazy secrets, so spill the beans!

Here's one to start you off: "I have a secret crush on George W."

Remember when we turned Mollygood editor Cord Jefferson into Princess Cordless?

Well, now that fucker's living it up like a queen in Vegas for the Palazzo's opening weekend. We celebrated the weekend with the opening of the latest go-go boy. Sigh…

Mama Said There'd Be Days Like This

Paris Hilton hosted a party at PURE nightclub in Las Vegas this weekend. And, as you can see, Mr. Kevin Federline popped in to show his bloated, sickening face.

Yes, Cord Jefferson, this is hell.

Mollygood editor Cord Jefferson doesn't like the suburbs. We have a feeling the suburbs probably don't like him, as well.

Our celeb-obsessed cousin Mollygood loves Venn Diagrams. Like, really, really loves them. It's a bit disturbing and may lead to permanent brain damage, but does provide endless hours of entertainment.

Here's editor Cord Jefferson's Venn-centric take on Jamie Lynn Spears' forthcoming bastard child.
