I’m about to have a conversation with someone at YouTube about the censored video and their policies. But in the meantime, it seems that Chevy is hosting an online contest where participants make commercials for their SUVs. Evidently they haven’t started screening the entries yet.

Check ‘em out — and if you make a good one, send it in and I’ll post. These links will expire; enjoy now!

One.* Two. * Three. (Thanks, Jason!)

Update: Here’s mine! It’s all text from the subject lines of email in my spam folder — and it works!

Update: more videos!

* Video from M, a bondage model and pal — text by Missy Elliott
* Video from Jim, a Tiny Nibbles reader
* Video from L, an SRL grrrrl

Update — you know you want it — Chevy Tahoe video from COOP!

Update: A really funny one from Tiny Nibbles reader Mark!

But wait, another update! This one’s from Sean Bonner (and I think it’s my favorite); this one is where Chevy goes goatse. Chevy must think that their viral campaign is tremendously successful, not realizing that we’re kind of putting the fetid infectiousness back into the definition of “viral”. With no intention of promoting, or buying, their product. Heh.

Remember a while back I went to an underground amateur male, alt-boy strip show in an Oakland warehouse, called For The Ladies? Well… I was cruising around Flickr and found their For The Ladies Flickr Pool, and thought it would be a good idea to upload the video I took at the show to YouTube. After being up for a few hours, it got a lot of views and collected a few fans — then, wonderfully, it got blogged by DudeTube!

I’m working on planning one of these for San Francisco: the guys are all amateur straight boys with no homophobia, and it’s all just a hugely wonderful turn on for the rowdy crowd of grrrls (like me), and a great time. I think there’s even another one this weekend. After the jump, check out Mateo taking it off and just generally looking hella hot.

Update: After 3794 views of the video, I got this email from YouTube:

“Your video Mateo grinds it at For The Ladies has been rejected due to its inappropriate nature. Please refer to our terms and conditions for more information on what video material is not permitted on YouTube.”

** It was only a naked man dancing. There was no erection, no close-ups, no genital touching. It was more like performance art. That’s some pretty heavy-handed and QUITE uneven censorship going on at YouTube.

I almost didn’t make it past the top photo with all the candles and the photo of Brad Pitt for inspiration, but I have to admit that this DIY PC casemod, where a vibrator is mounted on a B*rbie PC, is pretty damn cool. Granted, if it were my mods, I’d swap the picture out for Harvey Birdman, add a disco ball, include several yards of pink rope, a pair of roller skates and a Pilates ball, but that’s just me.

Of course, I’d have also done it to a Mac Mini which would be ideal for expoxying sex toys (I notice they tried to use hot glue and failed, which would never work with the oils in jelly rubber). I’d imagine one could use silicone caulk or hardcore expoxy to glue a flared-base dildo (and butt plug for a double dip) and a hard plastic remote-control clit buzzer on the front, while the weight of the Mini would keep it stabilized. And looking sexy. Not to mention that the cute B*rbie PC would never withstand the strain like my Mini would — girls, our thighs would crush that thing like a grape, no? And whither the headphones plug for iTunes? Hello, sexy podcast?

Okay, I’m a special case. But click on over to the Sex Toy PC Case Mod for Girls at Homemade Sex Toys for the excellent howto. And those pink handlebars *rock*!

Thanks, Xeni!

* Sean Bonner and Wil Wheaton write for Suicide Girls — got a problem with that? Apparently a few people do, for some curiously old-fashioned reasons *like the site’s name*, and Sean excerpts and comments on Wil’s eloquent responses here. And here I thought no one liked SG for being obsessively litigious or for refusing to have anything to do woth the word “porn”. Silly me.

* Local free paper the SF Weekly covers the SF arrival of NY women-centric sexy party Cake in the article Just Desserts by Eliza Strickland. All the words like “feminist” and “objectify” made me sleepy, but the parts where they quote the anti-porn feminists are hee-larry-us. They really think people still read Playboy! Oy, my side hurts from laughing.

* Local lesbian erotic photographer (and friend) Phyllis Christopher reminds us that sex parties for women are really not as new as the Weekly wants us to think in her Eros Zine interview by Thomas Roche.

* More New York: read Rachel Kramer Bussel’s interview with Audacia Ray in Gothamist.

* Author and dildo-slinger Cory Silverberg takes to task yet another sex study — this time the New Scientist study about the dangers of masturbation vs. heterosexual intercourse. The study didn’t say anything about missionary position or the lights being on or off, but it seems that Cory is geeking out on these studies and for good reason: I bet if we follow the bouncing ball we’ll see how sex-negativity and certain “values” stay so deeply rooted in our culture.

* Even more New York: on monday, April 3 the NY sex bloggers’ Pervert’s Saloon is at Galapagos, where I filmed the Marching Band being bad and had a fucking incredible time, even when a drummer got ejected for having sex in the women’s bathroom and we got locked out of the dressing room being screamed at to “get the fuck out” by the bar’s owner. I doubt that’ll happen to the NY sex blogger luminaries reading at the event — including Viviane, Tony Comstock, Jefferson, Audacia Ray and more — but I am feeling jealous enough to want to start an SF Pervert’s Saloon…

I posted about smokin’ hot curvy babe April Flores (aka Fatty Delicious) on Fleshbot a few months ago, and since then we’ve become email pals. I’m looking forward to meeting her in person when she comes to San Francisco to become a human canvas for the Center for Sex and Culture‘s Kink Ink event (Saturday, April 8, 6-8 pm). I discovered in our correspondance that she’s the muse and lover of a an erotic photographer whose work I became enamoured with the moment I saw it — I really felt that when Wild Skin came out, Carlos Batts would unseat the tired old fetish photo establishment. And I really think he did. Up until that book was released, it seemed like all the old guys had worn their fetish out and were just showing us younger, skinnier, more cliche-d girls that seemed more a reflection of their age, and less a reflection of the urban kink that fueled their early exploits, and my peer set. Batts has a style that’s crazy with color and curves of all kinds. Imagine my delight when I found out that April was on the book’s cover after I’d blogged about her on Fleshbot. Not that I’m sick of twiggy blonde 18-year-olds or anything. No, a porn diet seems to require a steady diet of twigs. They just don’t mean anything to me. But a girl like April does.

April was in Belladonna’s Evil Pink 2, which is good but carries a lot of porn cliches (though her scene was hot) — but April and Carlos have been working for the past 5 years on a DVD that depicts April’s real-life fantasies. It’s called Alter Ego. She sent me a bunch of stills (see Alter Ego link) and links to the trailer:

Here’s the QuickTime link; here’s the .wmv link. After the jump, you can check out the YouTube mini-trailer, which isn’t as pretty as the QT video.

Make sure you buy the video from her directly, here.
