Apparently a nice group of young gay university students decided to hold an alcohol-free event in a campus chapel and its got Bill O'Reilly of FOX News all in a tizzy. Gosh, it seems we just can't please everybody! Here's a synopsis:

 

SexPowerGod

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Annual Fall party at Brown University, thrown by the Brown Queer Alliance in the University's historic Sayles Hall, home to the largest Hutchings-Votey organ in the world and a common site for religious services. It is well known for its "debauchery" and its "costumes" -- as little as possible. People have been known to have sex on the dance floor, in the bathrooms, and just about everywhere else in the Hall. Because alcohol is not available at the event, it probably inspires the most "pre-game drinking" of any Brown party. The event is promoted across campus with an often controversal poster and flyer campaign. The posters took on a more graphic feel in 2004, depicting sex acts and BDSM. In 2005 publicity first featured actual Brown students.

 

Tickets typically run $10, but can go for as much as $100 between students once the event is sold out. The first set of tickets for 2005 was sold out in ten minutes, with a line still extending nearly 200 people. Admittance to the event is limited by the 590-person capacity of Sayles Hall. Tickets come in the form of a temporary tattoo that can be applied anywhere on the body. In 2005, some students were able to gain admittance to the party with fake tickets, made from scanned tatoos printed on mailing labels.

 

SexPowerGod, while drawing a large segment of Brown's heterosexual population, also draws a large gay crowd from a number of other New England universities.

 

One source of SexPowerGod's fame and notoriety is its unique use of multimedia. Traditionally, guests have been provided with identifying numbers upon entry, and a large projector screen is available for publicly sending messages to the holder of a given number. These messages typically consisted of comments on costumes and propositions for sex. This system has been absent since 2004.

 

On November 14, 2005, SexPowerGod was featured on Bill O'Reilly's nationally televised show The O'Reilly Factor. A producer of the show gained admission to the November 12 party and shot footage of the attendees, who were unaware that they were subject to observation by anyone but fellow Brown students. On the Brown campus, student reaction to the broadcast was generally marked by outrage mingled with pride.

Wow. The best we had at USC was the first gay mixer with UCLA, at Studio One (which tells you how long ago it was). We didn't have on-site sex; all we got was event buttons.

It's November Ratings "Sweeps", so they had to sex it up on O'Lielly in between his rants about San Francisco being anti-military and his contrived crusade against the War on Christmas.

Here's last year's flyer for the event. Anyone You know?

Here's a piece by Mark Morford on Bill O'Reilly:

Let Us Blow Up Bill O'Reilly

Of course the PR-sucking Fox News blowhard is off his nut. Again. Question is, Should you care?

 

By Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist

 

Wednesday, November 16, 2005

 

It's almost too easy. He's too easy a target, really, Bill O'Reilly of the casually toxic Fox News, too bloviated and too silly and too undercooked, and no one whose opinion you truly value or with an IQ higher than their waist size actually watches him with anything resembling intellectual honesty or takes anything he says the slightest bit seriously. You hope.

 

Especially when he, like Pat Robertson ranting about how gays caused Sept. 11 or that Dover, Pa., is now a doomed and godless hell pit, given how the town fired every single one the imbecilic, intelligent design-supporting Repubs from the school board, especially when Billy goes off his nut once again and essentially wishes al Qaeda would attack San Francisco, well, it is up to us to merely look at him like Shiva looks at a sea slug -- i.e., a moment of compassion for his regrettable incarnation -- and then laugh and shake our heads and move the hell on.

 

I mean, what else do you want to do? Allow him credence? Give his infantile words any sort of weight and import? Let him slither into your heart like a worm and fester and burn? O'Reilly is, after all, the Right's most self-aggrandizing blowhard, one who still vilifies France like a child who hates broccoli, one who has, next to Rush Limbaugh, perhaps the worst spin in all of media.

 

And he is one who now suggests that because San Francisco dared to ban aggressive military recruiting in our high schools so disadvantaged 18-year-olds won't be unwittingly sucked into the brutish military vortex so they can be shipped off to Iraq to die for appalling and indefensible reasons, al Qaeda should blow up Coit Tower.

 

What do you do with that? You laugh. Sure, file a formal complaint with the Fox network. Sure, demand that Billy be fired, which is a bit like demanding Ronald McDonald be canned from the McDonald's corporation for poisoning our children. Yes, you have to do it, even if such complaints come from someone like San Francisco Supervisor Chris Daly, not exactly the poster child for tact and grace when it comes to political maneuvering.

 

But of course, it won't make one bit of difference. BOR is still Fox's cash cow. He draws big ratings, even here in the Bay Area. And even if O'Reilly's cultural relevance is tanking right along with the bad ship BushCo, he's still getting PR for miles out of the childish comment. Hell, you're reading a column about it right now, which means all those extremist right-wing inbreeding sites get to squeal "San Francisco in Uproar Over O'Reilly Comments," and grunt and revel in our displeasure. Ah well. It matters not.

 

Here's the takeaway, the only thing you need to know: Bill O'Reilly is a walking, snorting cautionary tale. For those of us who occasionally tread similar terrain of barbed political commentary (tempered, I hope, with satire and hope and sex and humor and fire hoses of divine juice), he is the Grand Pariah, the threshold, the Place You Do Not Want To Go as an intellectually curious human soul. He is the guy you can always look to, no matter how bad it gets, and say, Wow, at least I'm not him.

 

In a way, we should be grateful for O'Reilly and Robertson and Limbaugh and Coulter and their slime-slinging ilk. They live in those black and nasty psycho-emotional places, so we don't have to. They show us how ugly we can be, how poisonous and ill, so we may recoil and say, Whoa, you know what? I think I need to be more gentle and less judgmental and kinder to those I love. BOR works an inverse effect on anyone with a vibrant and active soul -- he makes us better by sucking all the grossness into himself and blowing it out via a TV channel no one of any spiritual acumen really respects anyway.

 

Hell, this very column has been known to wallow in political extremes too, often and regularly wishing fiery karmic pain upon Rove and Cheney and Dubya et al. for the humanitarian and environmental and moral hells they have unleashed upon our once-prosperous, gorgeous, diverse nation, and for the wars and the homophobia and the misogyny and the rampant lies and the unchecked ignorance of the workings of the human spirit.

 

But I would never go so far as to wish terrorists would blow up, say, Washington, D.C. Or Bill O'Reilly's personal fetish dungeon at Fox HQ in New York. I would never take a similar BOR tack and suggest that every red state that openly supports Bush and his miserable wars (and by extension, O'Reilly and his miserable worldview) should offer up their kid as a blood sacrifice to the Iraq War.

 

Check that: Maybe I would. Of course I would. But I would recognize the inherent silliness of it all, and the futility, and push it so far into satire that I'd suggest we also send in the NRA, and the Bush daughters, and Ashlee Simpson, and moreover I'd suggest they string up Karl Rove as bait because you know what Islamic extremists think of creatures both godless and porcine.

 

Conversely, BOR, of course, takes himself quite seriously, the inflation of his ego and speed of his rapid-fire fury matched only by the obvious deterioration of his heart.

 

But maybe that's not quite true. It has been rumored, somewhere, that Bill O'Reilly has a soul, that he was personally hurt and wronged by that sex scandal last year, that he's reasonably intelligent and that his almost comical lack of nuanced comprehension on the air and in his public persona, like Bush's mumbling incoherence or Condi Rice's apparent lack of the slightest hint of femininity, is a bit of a stage act, a dumb ruse that masks a keener intelligence, all designed to milk his bloviation for his bloody, mealy slice of fleeting fame. You may believe this as you wish.

 

It does not matter. What is clear is that BOR has made a Faustian bargain of the ugliest kind, taken on a worldview where there is no room for humor and light and sex and joy and grace, whereby he gets to unleash streams of rather appalling ignorance upon the progressive segments of the nation -- like, you know, cities that dare to encourage peace and nonviolence and a measured, respectful response to the world -- and he gets paid enormous sums and lives like an angry, sneering king, while the gods of karma can only sigh, and shake their heads, and wait.

BigGuy, I'm amused by the lengths you will go to take my statements out of context in your numerous failed attempts to character assassiante me and Bill O'Reilly (i.e- Coit Towers). You just prove my point about flaming libs like yourself. Shame!

As you can't possibly be as dim as you are coming off in this post I would hope you can see in my post(and repost) above the reason of the withdrawel of the apology which was too hastily granted and after further reflection withdrawn.

I was premature in granting an apology to your fact finding skills.Upon examination of the evidenc provided I felt that you had not provided any evidence to back up your initial accusation.Thus I withdrew the apology with the offer of reinstatement once viable evidence was presented.

This be the way was no "concession"by any use if the term.

Still awaiting either the evidence or the apology,,,,waiting,,,waiting,,,waiting,,,,
