Photo credit: artolog Oh my. Um, yeah, we'll let Flickr's artolog explain the above. I've lived here for over 30 years, but it wasn't until a few weeks ago that I was initiated into one of the secret wonders of San Francisco, the so-called "two o'clock titty" of St. Mary's Cathedral, which appears at 2 pm, and is a staple of academic life for Catholic schoolboys. Hee. Ahem. Any of you kids born and......

Christopher Burt Wiltsee, 57, of Morgan Hill pleaded guilty this week to a charge of child pornography possession. This makes him the third ex-NASA employee to get busted fo having kiddie porn on his government-owned computer. According to the Gate: Wiltsee admitted that while employed at NASA, he used his government computer to download child pornography from the Internet. He admitted to possessing more than 600 images, including ones depicting sadistic and masochistic conduct,......

According to the fine folks over at The Sword (NSFW), the GayVNs (NSFW) will be held here on Saturday -- you know, those homosexual pornography achievement awards, which led to Mayor Gavin Newsom getting all Berkeley City Council on us after he declared Feb. 23 to be Colt Studio Day last year? -- coinciding with that hairy-large-gay-appreciation festival thing happening. Anyway, last year the GayVNs had comedienne and social critic Kathy Griffin hosting the......

As many of you know, Bernie Ward, former Catholic priest and KGO 810 AM host, was fired from his job after the Feds hit him with charges of child pornography. Although he used the Pete Townsend defense that he was merely doing a little kiddie porn research, that doesn't seem to be the case. Dan Noyes, who takes on the difficult task of having to do an investigatory report on a former colleague, says......

Former Catholic priest and KGO 810 AM host Bernie Ward was finally fired, ending his working relationship with the station. This stems from last year's federal indictment of child pornography charges that befell the (now former) host of "the Bernie Ward Show" and "Godtalk." He was officially let go, it seems, at the end of 2007. According to Dan Noyes at KGO, Ward admitted to "downloading images from the internet and trading them with......

Say it ain't so, Bernie! Wow. Former Catholic priest and SF radio talk show host has been "indicted on federal child pornography charges," according to the Chronicle. It seems that the popular KGO 810 AM host turned himself in to authorities earlier today. Although the "specifics of the allegations against him are under seal," said the authorities, we're dying to know exactly what happened. Because: whoa. Like, really. In addition to being a reporter......

O! What we wouldn't give to attend this press screening in Washington DC tomorrow! DCist has the pleasure of reporting on the anti-invert, pro-missionary sex group called Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH). Tomorrow they will unveil "raw and unedited" footage that they shot during this year's Folsom Street Fair for the National Press Club. "Raw" footage, you say? Oh my. You may remember that there was a scant bit of controversy due to......

The cold weather - and holiday festivities - descended upon Gothamist. The Rockefeller Christmas tree was lit, Broadway stagehand finally ended their strike, and NASCAR decided to run their victory lap through Times Square. There were disturbing photographs revealing the working conditions in which many city manholes are produced and ninjas were also a hot topic, either robbing homes or entering into alibis. But the city was really rocked by how Rudy Giuliani's visits......

Phillyist prepared to party by doing the hustle, lighting the lights, shopping up a storm, and... visiting Khrushchev? LAist continues to cover the Hollywood Writers Strike with visiting guest "strikers" such as KT Tunstall and Presidential candidate John Edwards. To celebrate Veteran's Day, they visited a Civil War reenactment and to celebrate Geography Week, they asked all the Los Angeles City Councilmembers about the districts they represent finding that LA's 180+ official neighborhoods are......

Londonist got the big scoop of the week with what may be the first images of notorious street artist Banksy in action. They also got on a runaway train without an operator provoking a response from the transport authorities. Elsewhere, London's answer to Central Station is about to open for business, and Londonist got a sneak preview. Meanwhile, spooky goings-on beneath London Bridge, where a cache of skeletons provided an apt story for Hallowe'en.......

Yesterday, we got a press release touting the fact that the city was going to issue a proclamation to Perry Mann, founder of the Exotic Erotic Ball, and Snoop Dogg. Our reaction? Get! Out! But after the news was released, bigger wigs got together and basically decided "what the frak are we thinking?" and so the proclamation was taken back....

Between the black n' purple checkered floor and the burlesque porn that was playing in the TV over the bar, we knew we had entered the perfect world's most interesting venue, Bottom of the Hill. (We continued that thought as we ventured into the sticker/grafitti laden walls of the cramped men's bathroom.) Bumping into Chris Reynolds, Eulogies' drummer, at the merchandise table before the show was unexpected as the porn but we digress. After a......

Yay APAture! Tomorrow night is their film night at the Victoria Theater. This screening looks awesome: how can you not want to watch movies titled, among other things, "Since You've Been Ong," "Dick Ho: Asian Male Porn Star," or "Kiss My Hyphen?" Noted documentarian and cinematographer Emiko Omori is the featured artist. We've got tickets for you and a friend for Thursday's screening! 8 p.m. at the Victoria (at 16th and Capp). If you......

Sorry for the delay in getting SFist Tonight out. This afternoon was steeped in several fun-filled return trips to CompUSA, dealing with customer service. So much fun was had, folks, that we felt like putting our face through a window several times. Aaanyway, a few late-in-the-evening things to do at places where you can get as fucked-up as you want: -- Trannyshack's Pre-Folsom Street Fair Party: "Addicted to Porn": Famous SF midnight drag show,......

After reading her porn-for-women article in O Magazine, a clearly horny Tyra Banks invited former SFist contributor Violet Blue to be a panelist on the Tyra Banks Show (think the Oprah Winfrey Show, but unwatchable) to chat about porn for women. Although a rich and thoughtful tet-a-tet was not to had during filming, thanks to the titular host, Violet did learn what some have already known but dared not to whisper: Tyra Banks is......

In today's world of Xtube and the like, Dennis Saunders -- Healdsburg's very own convicted peeping Tom, whose stash was confiscated by the police -- now wants his pornographic material back. And as one commenter pointed out on SF Gate, "Who in their right mind will pay for porn this day and age?" Really, who would nowadays? And more to the point, who prefers videos and magazines to the clean and ease of blue......

As much as it amuses us to know how many of our straight male friends will actually click on a link promising naked pictures of teenage girls, we really feel the need to implore all of our MySpace friends out there to resist the temptation. You see, links like this serve one purpose. Even though we know that the internet is primarily for porn and reading SFist, there are evil people out there who......

God bless the Bay Area Reporter. In this week's issue, Ed Walsh reports that former JonBenet Ramsey murder suspect and one-time possible kiddie porn connoisseur, John Mark Karr, "had sought gender reassignment surgery, not because of any driving desire to become a woman, but to help him avoid capture by police." That seems a bit drastic if you're not actually a woman inside, yes? Fascinating, but drastic. In lieu of Anne Frank-esque hiding or......

At three o'clock today we tried to take the M out to SF State. The overhead sign at Church Station switched from showing only "K in Seven Minutes" to "Next Trains In Subway - Delayed." We left the station in disgust. Looks like it's not a whole lot better two hours later. That shot is from 4:45 pm today. There are now nine M trains bunched up on the east side of West Portal,......

Chicagoist is gearing up for this weekend's annual Air & Water Show along the lakefront. In what's becoming an annual tradition around there, staff member Todd McClamroch even got to fly with one of the participants. Chicagoist's decidedly opinionated readership was also appalled that one of their staffers found a popular local brewpub to be a great place to bring a kid. They also think that an unlikely activist for immigration rights should just take......

-- KrOB'S Film Farm -- Faust (1994): Jan Švankmajer's version of Faust, using Goethe's and Christopher Marlowe's tales as well as heaps of surrealism, screens tonight at 8 p.m. at Chez Poulet, Cesar Chavez (Army) and Mission Streets; free. -- Minnie Driver: Why should you see her? Well, she has an Oscar nomination under her belt. Granted, it's for the XY-heavy emo-porn shitfest Good Will Hunting -- but Driver's got an Oscar nomination nonetheless.......

Famous for creating the Mitchell Brother(s) O’Farrell Theatre and then committing fratricide with a 22-caliber rifle, Jim Mitchell helped give San Francisco the sick reputation it still (sort of) maintains. Today he died at 63 in Sonoma County. Starting out by selling nudie pics with his brother Artie, the two built a porn empire (they're always "empires") with the help of such luminaries as local horny SF politicians, Marilyn Chambers, and lots and lots......

Whoops, sorry we're so late getting this post up -- we lost our notes and tore up the house before resigning ourselves to the idea that somewhere, someone is going to find a notebook with "the lighter side of rape" scrawled across the first page. That comment refers to Give Piece of Ass a Chance, a new Bruce LaBruce short that preceeded Starrbooty. It's a speculative spoofing of the Patty Hearst abduction that asks......

We're still going strong on this week's ticket giveaways for the Frameline GLBT film fest! Today's giveaway is for tickets to a screening for you and a friend on Saturday night (not Friday!): it's the new RuPaul movie STARRBOOTY! And this screening is sold out, so if you want to guarantee yourself seats, you gotta go through us. Starrbooty's a modern-day blaxxploitation comedy, with RuPaul reprising the role that made her famous, supermodel/crimefighter Starrbooty,......

Part 1 of SFist Mihi's journey into female sexuality on a lovely Friday night. Part 2 is immediately below this post. After seeing two women-centered movies at the Frameline LGBT Film Festival on Friday night, we've determined that you can tell the difference between a lesbian movie made for a mainstream audience and a lesbian movie made for lesbians by the so-called "butch" in the film. Spider Lilies (Ci Qing), a Taiwanese import, played at......
