Crack that whip

I may be the last person to see “Whip It” by Devo, as it appears to be older than the Internet. But my god, it’s hilariously awful. Those red conical hats? If anybody tried whipping me wearing one of those, I might have to spank him first.

And yet, there’s something thrilling about this video. I’m oddly drawn to the idea of removing items of clothing by means of a whip. Dangerous, but hot.

P.S. Hello, I’m back from holidays. Holidays are great.

Brandon Flowers in bondage

This new solo music video from the lead singer of the Killers is simply delicious. Brandon Flowers spends the entire thing tied up and having to be rescued by an awesome girl with a sword. Note new bruises being added every once in a while, and his clothes growing ever more tattered.

Do you know what I love about this? The pathetic little smile he gives her every time she saves his ass.

Also, I think that after the third consecutive rescue she may want to give him a good paddling, to teach him to stay out of trouble in the future.

‘Fear is part of the thrill’

Munchkins, are any of you fans of Neil Hannon of “Divine Comedy”?

If you are, you have, no doubt, already noticed that the title song of his new album “Bang Goes the Knighthood” is evidently inspired by the misadventures of our friend Max Mosley. If you’re not a fan, you are a) losing out on amazing music, b) should watch this video, recorded at an album-signing event in Dublin:

I have a couple of observations regarding this song.

1. If Ian Blair is a “Sir” now, with his fine bouquet of controversy, including minor things like having civilians shot on his watch and phone-tapping the Attorney General, I don’t see why peaceful enjoyment of BDSM should interfere with anyone getting a knighthood.

2. “Fear is part of the thrill”, is it now? Allow me to indulge in the fantasy that Mr Hannon knows whereof he speaks. Dear Neil: I don’t usually grind people under my heel, for lack of heels, but I give a fine whipping. Apply above.

How not to woo a pro-spankee

Amy Hunter has shared this on Twitter, but I thought it needed reposting, and she didn’t mind. This is a most hilarious piece of abuse emailed to her by an asshat she refused to do a session with:

“Firstly, you are a Miss on yourself bitch, usually when your Master (payer) says open your ass widely you should do it and says give it to me, since you’re the one who have been showing her ass on the web asking for money desperately, so yes I was not wanting hore I knew that you would kiss my hand when I come to fuck you. And since when people like you can have impressions for other people your class are the lowest so be thankful. Have a fuck up day.”

Obviously, as soon as a pro-spankee receives an email like this, she realises how wrong she has been not to see the man in question, because he doesn’t sound at all unbalanced or loopy. Incoherent abuse makes girls weak at the knees: fact.

Good macho, bad macho

Romantic comedies have moved on, according to a review of a Gerard Butler film “Bounty Hunter”:

The need for a sensitive lead in romantic comedies has given way to the need of an ultra-macho lead who likes to rough up his women and prove that what they need more than anything is a bit of a spanking.

Hollywood realizes correctly that romantic comedies that have something for the guys will probably bring in more money than the ones that don’t. It assumes incorrectly though, that having chauvinists as a lead is the way to go.

… The Bounty Hunter stars Gerard Butler as his regular growling, smirking Sunny Deol avatar where the Scot embodies the (supposed) hinterland American macho and slaps his women into submission.

This sounds to me like a film that could turn out to be a guilty pleasure. As in, “I know this is bad, but OMG, Gerard Butler could slap me any time”. Or it could really be so chauvinistic that the macho parts actually turn me off.

But. Gerard Butler!

I feel the need to form my own opinion…
