Bill O'Reilly: As Dated As He Wants to Be
Someone put this man out of his misery. This is just...sad.
It seems that NBC 11 caught Bill O'Reilly's film crew taking in the (non)X-rated partying that went on at last Saturday's Erotic Exotic Ball. This week he'll devoted an entire segment to the annual "sexy" Halloween fete, and even have the ball’s founder, Perry Mann, on as a guest.
San Francisco has angered conservatives around nation over the last couple of months. Such antics as giving Communion to the wrong kind, failed Blue Angels banning, The Last Supper parodying, and breathing, have helped O'Reilly set his old-man lasers on SF now more than ever before. Clearly, hate for little old us is ratings gold over at The O'Reilly Factor.
But the Erotic Exotic Ball, Bill? Really? The ball is pretty tame compared to other events here in SF that you can sink your fangs into. With all due respect to its founder, the Erotic Exotic Ball is a mere powder puff of an event. It's a Halloween party where women wear boas and pink furry cowboy hats. It's an event where couples still use the pimp-ho theme as a basis for costumes. For God's sake, it's a bash where people still insist on dressing up as pirates.
But leave it to Bill O'Reilly to be five steps behind the world at large. Go get 'em, tiger.

It's "O'Reilly" (as in the URL you linked to), not "O'Reilley" - jus' sayin. :)
thanks. fixed! (crabnabbit!)
Why do we care? Nobody watches the show.
To be honest, I'd feel genuine surprise if anyone in SF (or SFist, readers to be less judgmental) watched O'Reilly. And not for humorous purposes, but as a news source.
It was interesting to see O'Reilly cover the breaking fire news - I watched "The Factor" of whatever it's called for about 30 minutes last Monday or Tuesday, and I think he went the whole time without making any shit up. He didn't even blame the fires on Clinton+Gore.
I sort of have to give Fox News grudging praise. Fox actually seemed to have better coverage of the fires, especially in the evening hours. Nothing but Nancy Grace "Child Molester seen at Wal-Mart! Kill him! Kill him!" crap on CNN Headline and similar filler like "Planet in Peril" and prison videos on the other "news" channels. Fox actually seem to do a little better with breaking news like this, and O'Reilly can turn the BS off when he has to.
If he wants good material, he should come to the Dore Alley fair next year to witness some intense sausage stuffing, and skin flute playing.
BTW, Keith Olberman of MSNBC [M-F 6 and reply at 9 PM pacific] often elects Bill as his, "Worst Person in the World", citing his latest stupid remarks.
Keith usually calls the network, "Fox Noise" or "The Fox Entertainment Network"
