Horny Old Ladies Describe Sex With Younger Man

Rich Juzwiak · 08/22/14 10:36AM

"I got into doing gang bangs in 2008," says Shirley, 78, in the NSFW clip above. "I've done 14 of 'em since then. Each one is better than the last one." She then opens her shirt to reveal a tattoo on her breast (that's the real NSFW part of the video). I'm not going to tell you what it says because I want you to experience the joy of discovery.

Neetzan Zimmerman · 04/23/12 11:10AM

Mansome, the latest documentary from Super Size Me director Morgan Spurlock, seeks to answer the question of what it means to be a man "in a world where the definition of masculinity has become as diverse as a hipster's facial hair in Williamsburg."

Morgan Spurlock Is for Sale

Seth Abramovitch · 04/22/11 01:20PM

In POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, director Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me, Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden?) exposes the shady practice of product placement... by documenting his efforts to make a movie funded entirely by product placement. Got that? It's a plate-spinning act that actually works, offering a sly and entertaining glimpse into the strange landscape of 21st Century advertising.

Tony Kaye · 03/22/11 09:30AM

Morgan Spurlock is at it again. This time he set out to create a documentary based purely on advertising and product placement in The Greatest Movie Ever Sold. A film where everything is branded, beginning to end- with ads.

Richard Lawson · 05/21/10 11:19AM

It's true. He did it. Or he will do it. Also today: a nerd documentary to end all nerd documentaries, Scream 4 will feature a vampire, a link to a picture, and a Peter Scolari joke.

Min's Departure, McKinsey's Arrival, Rather's CBS Suit

• Why did Janice Min leave Us? It was about money, reports WWD, which explains that given the economy, Jann Wenner wasn't prepared to offer her the $2 million a year she's been collecting. Min is denying it. [WWD, NYDN]
Dan Rather’s $70 million lawsuit against CBS is back on track. [NYT, WSJ]
• McKinsey has been retained by Condé Nast to do the sort of "rethinking" and "realigning" that the consulting firm gets paid enormous sums to do. And while it isn't the first time McKinsey has been in the building—they were hired by Condé in 2001—this time employees are totally freaking out. [NYO]
• One title that is doing well: Food Network Magazine, apparently. [CNY]
• ESPN's Erin Andrews was secretly videotaped in the nude while staying at a hotel. Now an ESPN employee is said to have been behind it. [NYDN, AP]

Nothing But Fast Food For The Antispurlock

Ryan Tate · 04/17/08 05:35AM

Just in time for Super Size Me director Morgan Spurlock's new movie, a Wall Street analyst is getting closer to the fast-food companies he tracks by eating only "quick-service" food for all of April. It's halfway through the month; how's he doing? The answer won't be surprising to those who remember how long the founders of Popeyes, Carl's Jr. and Fatburger lived:

Come to Think Of It, All That Death and Torture in Iraq Really Is Kind of Hilarious

STV · 04/16/08 05:35PM

There's plenty of studio hand-wringing and noose-tying to go around as movies about the Iraq War yield one box-office bomb after another. But a feature in this week's Village Voice reveals a new strategy for getting over those wartime blahs and rolling back into the black: Make 'em laugh! Not that the heirs to Dr. Strangelove or M*A*S*H are any new breed, of course, but if we can't cash in on grave exposes of torture and failed diplomacy (not to mention Ryan Phillippe's abs), we may as well have fun with them, say filmmakers like Morgan Spurlock:

Breaking: The Super Size Me Guy Didn't Find Osama bin Laden

Pareene · 01/23/08 04:45PM

The people who, despite claims to the contrary, are currently not actually looking for terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden now include Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf and documentarian Morgan Spurlock. Musharraf is just sick of looking. Spurlock gave up once he had enough material to create Sundance buzz around his new movie, Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden? Spurlock went to Pakistan to find bin Laden but turned back after reaching "a sign at the border of Pakistan's hostile tribal areas warning of the strict prohibition against foreigners in their lands." Turns out it's harder than you thought, Hamburger boy! Someone owes the president an apology. [NYT]

Media Bubble: He Had a Dream

Jesse · 07/29/05 01:00PM

• A milestone in the struggle for equality: TV networks cover a missing black and Hispanic woman the same way they usually cover missing white women. Someplace, Dr. King is smiling. [USAT]
• Surprised to learn in the Post a few days ago that Osama planned to poison our cocaine? Yeah, so was the DEA. [NYDN]
• Morgan Spurlock is coming to Comedy Central, continuing his effort to become more ubiquitous than McDonald's but not nearly as delicious. [Mediaweek]
• Interestingly, in-flight mags are not the best place for subversive political satire. Who knew? [Folio:]
• At new Bloomberg LP headquarters, Charlie Rose guests are insufficiently from the hoi-polloi reporters. The horror. [WWD]
• Bob Woodward's The Secret Man is, maybe, a very poorly selling best-seller. [Media Mob]
