Making money in online media is tough. So we wish success to all most who try. However! This sweet and friendly Dan Lyons profile of PR man Dan Abrams calls for some gentle clarification.

Remember the jacuzzi fight from Mel Gibson rant #2, in which he threatens to kill ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva over a hot tub date? Gibson's latest phone recording returns to the topic, with Gibson demanding a blowjob before he commits arson.

"Does hair get stuck in your teeth when you go down on guys?" Jesse James mistress Bombshell McGee asked this of Philly vagina critic Arthur Kade, live on video, just last week. Do you forgive her now, Sandra Bullock? [ArthurKade.com]

Now that Green Day has a musical on Broadway, all hell is breaking loose. Punk hell. A tipster sent us a note saying that at last night's performance of American Idiot, some respectable theatergoer was spotted servicing her date.

Riddle me this! What do Greenville, South Carolina, allegations of John McCain's illegitimate African American kid, Christian Coalition leader Ralph Reed, and former Dubya press secretary Ari Fleischer getting a blowjob have in common? No, really: guess. Ready? So awesome:

Max Isaacson, who directed the fake Sprite Blow Job Spec Ad that was too hot for the world emails: it was a spec ad. Not a real ad. Not connected to the Coca-Cola Company! Hopefully they won't sue him now.

Look, it is a scandalously explicit blowjob-oriented advertisement for the Sprite beverage! But wait, Twitterererers: this is a spec ad. What's a spec ad? A sexy one.

Because they'll say "blow job," like Marcy Wheeler of Emptywheel just did on MSNBC.

In a rather extraordinary effort to crack down on the Church of Scientology's obsessive policing of its online public image, Wikipedia has banned all IP addresses owned or affiliated with Scientology from making edits to entries on its website.

I can't with this show. I really just can't. I mean, these are people? These are people? Last night an alien was murdered while her friends watched, two teenage girls fell off a cliff, and then everyone died. I mean, that's basically what happened.

State of Play—a political thriller about a dogged reporter uncovering... a conspiracy—may be the last Hollywood movie to feature a hero journalist. Because, you know, that industry is dying.

Barack Obama paid a visit to the Washington Post newsroom yesterday, and our capital's toughest reporters collectively swore to never wash that hand again. Crush on Barry! Nothing wrong with that, says Howard Kurtz:

At a time when our young people are getting STDs from playing too much beer pong and Christian politicos can't even keep their own kids celibate, America is plainly in need of a useful public sex education campaign. Well, we won't get it; this country can't even tolerate Eva Mendes' nipple yet. You have to go to Belgium, where sex in advertising is a form of art! Below is a new Belgian PSA that is perhaps the single best piece of televised sex ed I've ever seen. That ain't mouthwash, yall:

[UPDATE:] Hippie pop star Joss Stone has signed on to do ads for Cadbury Flake. The product is shaped like a rod, so it was quite natural that they've promoted it [Adrants] in the past by having a pretty woman wrap her supple lips around it and roll her eyes back into her head in simulated ecstasy. And then walk down the beach with a horse. The not-so-subtle message: Women and horses will happily give you a blow job in exchange for a Cadbury Flake. Get yours today! Full [classic] ad below.

The website for Cookie, the Conde Nast mag for "mom style, kid culture," is currently touting a sex advice column from one "Mrs. Young," who suggests that blow-job adverse moms learn to "savor the favor." It's just opposite a plug for an article on finding "the perfect organic crib linens to brighten up your nursery."

Warmongering God-hater Christopher Hitchens takes a look at Philip Roth's Exit Ghost, the final chapter in the life of Roth's fictional altar-ego Nathan Zuckerman. He is unimpressed. Considering Roth's fondness for stories about blowjobs gone wrong, Hitch recalls a scene from The Dying Animal, in which a character, displeased with his partner's fellationary skills... we'll continue this after the jump, eh, for the benefit of the children?

Is this a picture of a religious supplicant blowing his Savior? Why, no. Which is a shame: It makes that whole "body and blood" thing seem slightly more palatable.

"The Ice Cream Cone, The Bob & Weave, Operation, The Swirl, The Hoover, The Plunger: Yes, these are all different types of blowjobs. Sweet Christ, people. Just suck. How complicated is it?" [Jesse on the Brink]

"If you're going to swallow, just swallow it. Don't do that thing where you practically gargle it, get it all foamy in your mouth, and then half-spit it out to show the camera. This isn't Cum Guzzling Sluts—it's educational!" [VV]

The Associated Press reports that the Nielsen measurement service will change the way it tracks online viewing habits.
