When I was a kid, back in the '50s, TV sets were heavy, unwieldy boxes with enormous rear ends that held an assortment of tubes. There was no such thing as remote control. We switched channels by turning a knob. Often the knob would break off, and you’d have to use pliers.
In those days, TV sets featured fuzzy black-and-white images and, not infrequently, something we used to call "snow," a term that decribed the screen’s appearance when the reception was poor -- which was most of the time. We used rabbit ears to improve the reception, which meant that one of us had to watch while standing on a sofa.
My usual mode of watching TV was to sit on the floor, clad in a cowboy hat and holster, consuming milk and cookies.
And in those days, my favorite show was "Ted Mack’s Amateur Hour," which was our version of "American Idol." Although it was actually called "The Original Amateur Hour," and later "Ted Mack and the Original Amateur Hour," everybody called it "Ted Mack’s Amateur Hour," after its host, Ted Mack .
Tiger Beatdown › SEXIST BEATDOWN: Midnight Train to Gropetown Edition
That is.
My incomparable colleague Amanda Hess of the Washington City Paper’s The Sexist, of course, is the premier scholar of Gropetown and its mores, having published many a finding recently. Whereas I, myself, am but a person who has encountered the occasional grope! Together, in this very special edition of Sexist Beatdown, we shall endeavor to find some workable explanation for the widespread existence – and really rather appalling acceptance of – gropery in the public square. This week’s line-up of suspects? Law and Order: SVU, dudes with sexual-assault-tolerant dating insecurities, nice ladies who are scared to throw a punch like a nice lady sometimes oughtta, and a culture that not so long ago was cranking out lyrics like this to explain the complex female psyche:
My favorite part is when she talks about her job goals! But, yes, she is also thrilled about the boys whistling. THRILLED, I SAY! AS SHOULD YOU BE! PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN! ALTHOUGH HE IS CURRENTLY REACHING FOR YOUR BOOB!
Yes, everybody, it’s Musical-Theater-Inflicted Trauma Week at the Tiger Beatdown, for some reason. So, sing along, and we shall discuss!
SADY: well, HI! I am so excited to join you on the Train to Gropetown this evening!
AMANDA: Hi! The Train to Gropetown departs now.
SADY: Perhaps we should note that many ACTUAL gropings take place on trains, which is a bummer?Truly, Gropetown is a destination of the spirit, and not one of mere place and time.
AMANDA: Right. And that on these trains, and subway cars, and buses are dozens of other people who are not gropers or groping victims, but really just witnesses who are standing but feet away from a sexual assault. One thing I hear all the time is that sexual assault is so difficult to “prove” and to “deal with” because it happens in private, tucked away behind doors and in intimate relationships. But really, it happens all the time in front of people’s faces, too! And most people still don’t really give a shit about it.

Christina Aguilera Is Washed Up
Christina Aguilera Is Washed Up
Here’s Christina Aguilera ringing in the New Year at Tao nightclub. We haven’t seen much Xtina, ever since she had kids, but this new look of hers isn’t working for me. Her funbags look deflated and the rest of her body looks like it belong to a 35 year old crack whore. I don’t even want to ask how much? See more pictures now!!!
Molly Sims Bikini Pictures
Molly Sims Bikini Pictures
The last time I had pictures of Molly Sims on the site she was doing some weird sh#t with her puppies and I remember thinking that that was the end of her hotness. Well, I’m glad that she’s decided to prove me wrong by prancing around and shaking her ass in her little bikini. How thoughtful. See more pictures now!!!
Lindsay Lohan Swimsuit Pictures
Lindsay Lohan Swimsuit Pictures
If you ask me, there’s not much in this mixed up world more enjoyable than to watch a hot chick try on swimsuits in a sexy pair of heels. Here’s Lindsay Lohan and her delicious chesticles doing just that. I have to say that I’m impressed, if I were there I’d pay for the damn thing myself. After I came to, of course, because chances are all my blood would have quickly rushed from my head causing me to pass out like a gay guy at a Jonas Brothers concert See more pictures now!!!
Kate Hudson And Her Milky White Thighs!!
Kate Hudson And Her Milky White Thighs!!
I don’t really know what Kate Hudson is doing in these pictures, but I’m glad she decided to do it in a short little skirt. I know it kinda looks like a sixty year old hippy’s sundress, but I like her sexy legs so who gives a shit. Although, a little sun wouldn’t hurt. I’m still annoyed that she hasn’t done something about her boobs, or lack there of. This is Hollywood baby, everybody does it. I wonder how many times she’s heard that before.
Amber Rose Is Out Of This World
Amber Rose Is Out Of This World
Here’s Kanye West’s girlfriend/thing Amber Rose out in West Hollywood. I’m not going to lie, if Aliens touched down on Earth and they looked like this, I’d probably hit it, but for now the unknown scares me. Who am I kidding, I’d still hit that, as long as it doesn’t have teeth on its privates.
