Oh my. Seeing as how SFist errs on this side daintiness, we simply cannot bring ourselves to discuss this image in detail. Click here to find out for yourself just whose bulbous junk now graces the Dogpatch neighborhood.......

Nothing says "welcome to our neighborhood in which you will never be able to afford a house" quite like graffiti of a veined penis stating, "Tupac Lives." On the Yerba Buena approach to St. Francis Wood (or "The Wood" as neighboring residents like to call it) from Westwood Highlands, this cuddly pee pee full of personality says, "Wassup" to drivers and pedestrians alike. And while we would expect such a display from the West Portal......

Chortle. Image captured by Chicagoist's Laura Oppenheimer.......

All of you YouTube addicts out there are probably familiar with many of the "absoludicrous"* found video clips from Nick Prueher and Joe Pickett's touring Found Footage Festival (*Mr. T makes an appearance in the "Celebrities Who Teach" series). The critically-acclaimed event will be in San Francisco tonight and tomorrow night at the Roxie Red Vic at 7:15 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. and this Sunday at the Parkway in Oakland for a 5 p.m.......

-- San Mateo Bridge shuts down, then opens. Ta-da. [Examiner] -- Dan Noyes on Jerry Lucas, the sanity-estranged man who followed a then-pregnant Jill Rabinowitz into her garage, severely beating her with a can of paint. He might soon get sprung from the funny farm. [ABC7] -- Streets such as "Van Ness Avenue, Broadway...Harrison Street" and more could turn into toll roads under a proposed city plan to ease traffic congestion. [Chron] -- Viggo......

If the prospect of watching a gay pride parade on television thrills you, you'd better have cable -- because KRON, which has previously broadcast the parade over the air on channel 4, is this year bumping their coverage all the way up to Comcast's channel 99. KRON's broadcast license is up for renewal, see, and the chance of losing it over something unexpected during the parade is just too great. (You can read a......

Cultural Learnings of Blogosphere for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of -Ist-a-verse Jagshemash! Borat is a hit. It's getting rave reviews, grossing millions, and definitely the most quotable thing we've seen in ages. But Borat seems to have missed most of the -ist cities, and we were all wondering how the film would have been different if he'd made his way around the world on the -ist tour. In Shanghai, Borat would be observing Inane Learnings......

Feeling the prevailing motif of the All Hallows Eve, SFist Nico implores you all to turn the lights down for God's sake! Halloween is a special time. Not only is it perfect for carousing in purely ridiculous get-ups (when else can you go out of the house with a giant penis on your head?), one can also dabble in the dark arts and no one seems to care. We here at the SFist love a......

Our mistake was thinking any movie shown during the Hole in the Head Horror Festival would be at least a little scary. Watching a monster that looks like a slightly more sinister version of the Cal mascot, Oskie the Bear pawing a naked lady is kinda horrific but scary? Not so much. The Beast is good old-fashioned B grade camp and the audience for the almost-midnight showing of this soft-porn "monster" movie came with the......

Londonist prepares a Happy Birthday bath for Buddah this week and then things get all cliched. A madman goes on a rampage while axe-wiedling and London's mayor warns an American diplomat to avoid the kitchen if the heat bothers him so much. LAist has finally come around to purchasing tickets for Clipper Train. Hyper local dating sites are spamming L.A. neighborhoods and the fascinating Dame Darcy talks with LAist about art, the city and earthquakes.......

At some point in the early 80s, cartoonist Chester Brown got it into his head that Japanese manga had a very casual attitude about feces. Not to be outdone by this probably-not-at-all-true tidbit, he produced "Ed the Happy Clown," an utterly disgusting story about a man with such powers of productivity that he was able to escape a prison cell by filling it until it burst. Collected and published by the affected Drawn and......

While mainstream America's attention has been focused on TomKat's recent offspring and Brangelina's pending progeny, we joined San Francisco's arthouse hipster crowd at the Kabuki late Wednesday night for the local unveiling of Drawing Restraint 9, the creative brainchild of Matthew "most important American artist of his generation" Barney and the inimitable Björk. It was screened as part of the SF International Film Festival in collaboration with SFMoMA, which mounts a major solo exhibition......

Patrick Rodriguez makes an argument for saving Stan "Tookie" Williams -- those Berkeley Republicans are always throwing curveballs. Sasha over at Left in SF wonders if the Residential Builders Association and the Bay Guardian can ever get along. Kimo Crossman at Webnetic points out why you should care about the SF citywide wifi process, and suggests you drop by the Board of Supervisors to argue for more public involvement. And MuniWireless posts the MetroFi......

We've got a date with Deadwood, so we'll bring you tidbits from all over nerdville, population: too many. Washington, D.C. Federal District Court says the FCC has no power to foist the broadcast flag upon our wonderful gadgets. The forces of evil Rightsholder lobbyists shall decend on Congress. Gigi Sohn points out that constituents probably don't want their TV's f**ked with by their elected representative. Speaking of rightsholder lobbyists, Hillary Rosen (former chair of......

SFist made it to the W. Kamau Bell Gets a Haircut Show last Thursday and have to admit that we were a little put off about the false advertising. While we did see cut hair, we did not see an actual hair cut. Instead, that took place off stage during the last hour of the show. Sheesh. What we did see was several comedians, an impressionist, a magician, some slam poetry, cartoon projections, songs about......

If you're like us, you like nothing better than cruising down the 101 in your tricked out Hummer while watching a little Bonfire of the Panties or Assablanca. Thanks to the good ole California State Legislature, we can keep on doing it. This week, the legislature defeated a bill by Assemblyman John Benoit (R-Palm Desert) that would have made it illegal to be watching some porn from the comfort of your car. The problem with watching porn in your car? Do we even need to say? Yep, just imagine you and the kiddies are coming back from their soccer match and pass one of those big cars that have TV screens in the back seat. The kids look over at what's being watched and well, the next thing you know, you're telling the kids about how sometimes when mommy, daddy, the neighbor, and the pizza deliveryman love each other, sometimes they do things to each other to show them how much they love each other. ...

BoingBoing's David Pescovitz recently posted a call for models by his friend Richard Hansen. And when we say "models" we mean "people with penises," since Richard is working on a book project about everyone's favorite cut of man-meat. Seeking men of all sizes, shapes and colors to model their penis for an upcoming art photography book project. This creative project seeks to show what men really look like down there--how we're so very different,......

Remember the nineties? Back when nobody knew Scott Weiland was a big junkie, but wondered why every single that Stone Temple Pilots came out with sounded like a song recorded by Nirvana or Pearl Jam? When the Internet was going to change the world for, the, uh, better? When Microsoft Windows was actually a useful operating system, and our major worry was whether or not Bill Clinton could keep his penis out of the mouths......

SFist loves (loves!) the cartoon Family Guy and is ecstatic that Fox has brought it back for the umpteenth time. While watching last week's rerun, we got a chuckle out of the fact that Stewie’s (the diabolically scheming baby) bare behind was shown with a bit of a blur. Oh, that whacky Seth MacFarlane, tweaking the FCC like that. Funny little thing about the blurred bottom, though- it wasn’t meant to be a joke. Instead,......

roundup of the Bay Area weeklies. ...

The forests of Northern California are some of the most beautiful in the world. SFist has been simultaneously awed and humbled by trips up north to visit our millenia-old friends the redwoods. So who in their right mind would ever want to cut these things down? SFist thinks it's people with really severe penis envy....
