    It's all a misunderstanding. He thought she was saying "red balloons" which was BDSM code for "choke me harder."

    Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
    Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
    We could float among the stars together, you and I
    For we can fly we can fly
    Up, up and away
    My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
    The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon
    It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon
    We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky
    For we can fly we can fly
    Up, up and away
    My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
    Suspended under a twilight canopy
    We'll search the clouds for a star to guide us
    If by some chance you find yourself loving me
    We'll find a cloud to hide us
    We'll keep the moon beside us
    Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloon
    Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon
    If you'll hold my hand we'll chase your dream across the sky
    For we can fly we can fly
    Up, up and away
    My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
    Balloon...
    Up, up, and away.....

    I had this desire to be involved with a woman who had a penchant for dressing up as Mary Poppins, but when she told me her safe word was "supercalifragiliciousexpeallad...," let's just say the phrase "size matters" took on new meaning...

    Amateurs! Everyone knows the best safe word is "red" or if there's a gag in your mouth "uh uh".

    But seriously, nowhere in the books is slipping someone a mickey part of BDSM. It may be kinky sex but it's still meant to be consensual sex. Someone who's in and out of consciousness is in no position to say yea or nay.

    @Sharpstyx: Yeah, he probably has them say green balloons b/c it gives him time to gag or smother them before they can finish saying it. Then he'll claim that all he heard was green and everybody knows green means go. God, he even looks like a frat boy date rapist in his mugshot.

    In reply to Anti-Gay Republican Leader's Safe Word: 'Green Balloons'
    From Wiki: ...in theory a safeword is usually a word that the person would not ordinarily say during sex, such as red light, big tree, Fez, Lark Voorhies, Rumba, scrambled eggs, Oklahoma, Bowie, aardvark, preposition, or rhubarb.

    So I guess green balloons is not all that cumbersome?

    And WTF is up with the Muschany getting off scot-free? Exposing yourself to a 14 year-old is not a crime? What?

    Also, I think it would be hilarious to start screaming "Aardvark!" at the top of one's lungs during non-BDSM sex.

    Even if your safe word is "supercalifragilisticexpialidoc..." dude needs to stop when it's said. But I think the safe word was kind of beside the point in this situation.

    In reply to The Tiger Woods Saga: A Definitive Timeline
    I just realized that Tiger Woods has had sex with more women illegitimately than I ever have or likely will in my entire life.

    Of course, it also cost him $20 million dollars, which is way too much to spend on Ambien and beer, so at least when I break it down for how much money I've paid-per-partner, I'm really coming out ahead.

    Maddow handled herself beautifully, and Adrian you're a fuck for using that picture just to try to be funny.

    This is a serious fucking issue. This is not a joke. People in Uganda are dying.

    Have you seen this photo from Saudi Arabia? These lives aren't jokes. People are really being killed for this shit.

    There is nothing funny about this. Not. One. Fucking. Snarky. Thing.

    I get that you're the new nighttime kid and figuring out what's funny or not and that Gawker 3.0 doesn't really have a threshold, but this?

    @Richard Lawson: That picture may be silly (though it's not like it's doctored) but I think the substance of the post should prevail. Which I think is very much pro-Maddow and very much anti-Cohen and his ilk. So I really don't see how the kiddo failed.

    @Richard Lawson: That photo wasn't from Saudi Arabia; it was from Iran – as in "irangayteens1.jpg" – and the two weren't hanged for being gay, but for rape.

    This is a serious issue, yes; but Adrian's reporting reportage, on a less-than-serious site. Aside from the lead photo, I can't find any offensive snark discrediting what Maddow had to say.

    And really? Calling a co-worker a fuck? Really?

    @Richard Lawson: People dying in Uganda isn't a joke but Richard Cohen is. His quackery was ultimately the focal point. Their interview really showcased what an idiot he is. There's nothing serious to be said about it. Rachel was a strong wind blowing down a straw, straw man. And that, while usually boring, was in this case at least useful in that anyone who wanted to hold up his book as a testament to how gays can change, could see him debunked from all sides. Win on this, kiddo. Win.

    In reply to The Tiger Woods Saga: A Definitive Timeline
    It's barely a scandal when the guy next door cheats on his wife let alone when a rich and powerful man does it. Can we stop pretending this is such a big deal? He's an athlete and he didn't do anything that I believe would hurt his abilities as an athlete nor did he commit a crime. Last I checked cheating on your spouse wasn't illegal, beating the shit out of your girlfriend a la Chris Brown is. I don't condone adultery but I hardly think his or anyone's cheating is really newsworthy. Shit, I didn't give a fuck when Clinton messed around with Monica. Not my husband, not my business and certainly not surprising. I'd be fine but when the real news starts covering this stuff, OK it has been going for a while, but it just bugs me b/c there are so many real newsworthy stories out there and it gets pushed aside for this type of crap. We all know where to go to get more info on this if we want it so why does it have to be covered on the local and national news?

    Random rant.

    This absolute voidoid of a human being is living proof that if your message is toxic enough, if it is bereft of all logic, reason, and empirical data, and if you bear an uncanny resemblance to a modern-day cultural icon (in this case, a grown-up Alfred E. Newman), your fifteen minutes of infamy will burn brightly.

    Can you imagine a world in which anyone, with the possible exception of the Society of People for Whom There Is Absolutely No One to Love Them, would cite this nuclear waste dump of a man as a corroborating source?

    Oh, the humanity...
