Arizona State University is a place where scantily clad women can suddenly appear and convince two cadres of frat guys to star in a porno. So it wouldn't be surprising if the little in-joke hand sign among ASU students was "The Shocker." Alas, despite appearances, the gesture Arizona State fans throw in support of their Sun Devils is the "pitchfork," which distinguishes itself from its vulgar cousin with the separation of the index and middle fingers.
But for a moment, squint your eyes and pretend that George W Bush is seen here givin' the ol' Shocker with the Arizona State Track Team. How many times do you think someone had to say, "No, Mr President, those two fingers apart," and he would just go, "Hey, Dick, lookit this. Dick, lookit! Heh heh heh"?

Click here to check out a great Flickr set of behind-the-scenes photos of Barack Obama, family and friends on Election Night. Seeing how calm and collected he was while waiting for the results on probably the biggest night of his life should help ease the worries of even the most rabid Republican. It's also cute to see how excited his daughters were.

More pictures from the infamous W magazine photo shoot have hit the Web featuring a naked Angelina Jolie. Everyone is predictably going nuts about this entire thing, despite the fact that these are just pictures of a woman's breasts and behind. True, this woman happens to be the second coming of Mother Theresa, but this is a way bigger deal than it should be.
You can check them out here, you pervs (yeah yeah, we looked at them too).
Trust us, there's going to be no grieving at Jossip HQ on January 20, 2009, George W Bush's last day as president. Nevertheless, we'd be lying if we said we weren't gonna miss the guy's uncanny ability to instantaneously become a tremendous spectacle.
That in mind, we've created a gallery of Bush the Second's greatest and most laughable hits in front of the world's ever-watching eyes. Here's to hoping that cameras continue to follow 43 for decades to come.

It's official: Tomorrow, Sarah Palin is going to brave New York's queers and Jews and malicious blacks and pregnant teenagers (who would be fine if they weren't Dominican) in order to appear on television's most inconsistent mainstay, Saturday Night Live.
Now the questions is, how will the SNL writers and cast find humor in such a stoic, reasonable and bright woman like Palin? We've decided to help them out and create a gallery of the funniest REAL Sarah Palin images we could find. True, some are less "funny ha ha" and more "funny oh good god look at all that fucking blood" or "funny oh Jesus Christ that's a goddamn war criminal," but black comedy is a dying art form we'd like to see stick around. Enjoy, and feel free to include in the comments any links to pics we forgot.

Shit! Jezebel's paparazzi photo art gallery is very, very good and we are so damn mad that we didn't do it first. Check it out and then riddle us this…

A Wal-Mart employee in Louisiana is in trouble with the feds for stealing a (technically) pornographic photo of Jamie Lynn Spears breast-feeding her child. There are just so many things wrong with this story, we don't know where to begin.
Jamie Lynn's fiance, Casey Aldridge, took your average I'm-a-new-teen-parent pictures on his digital camera and then ordered copies at his local Wal-Mart (of course), where one of the employees got a little too excited about a picture of a 17-year-old exposing her breast to feed a baby. This poses a problem for the creep because Jamie Lynn is a minor, and selling or buying pictures of this nature constitutes pornography. Oh, and then there's the whole issue of stealing Casey's photos.
Let this be a lesson to all of you: Don't get your photos developed at Wal-Mart. Also, don't be a pedophile.

Celebrity photographer Anne Leibovitz, who's convinced everyone from John Lennon to Miley Cyrus to get naked for her camera, is allegedly as greedy as she is increasingly trite. To wit:

TMZ has found a picture of a bare-chested Ryan Seacrest from before he was famous. And yes, of course the online garbage dump used this opportunity to say it's too bad alleged child molester Lou Pearlman didn't get to the young Seacrest.
Uh oh! Despite the fact that both magazines paid millions and millions of dollars for "exclusive" rights to photographs of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's new set of twins, the Los Angeles Times thinks Hello's spread has bested People's in terms of cuteness and intimacy.
This week In Touch made Los Angeles Times blogger Liz Snead — who's been calling on Angelina Jolie to SHOW YOURSELF!!! – a very happy woman: At last, since Entertainment Tonight first falsely reported the superstar mom had given birth to her twins, there's photo evidence that … she hasn't.
The photo agency behind this picture describes its subject, Courtney Love, as "pale and confused." It's brief, yes, but quite thorough, we think.
Click through to see how thorough.

A new series of portraits by conceptual photographer Sam Taylor-Wood features some of Hollywood's most sought after leading men – Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling, Daniel Craig, etc – in tears. According to Taylor-Wood, the idea's pretty simple: "It's about the idea of taking these big, masculine men and showing a different side." Yay, straightforward, unpretentious art.
I'm a crier myself, so I say more power to Taylor-Wood and her subjects. And special kudos to Jude Law, who went above and beyond by not just crying, but doing so in a corner in the fetal position.
FINALLY, BRAD AND ANGIE GET THEIR DUE "The bidding for the Brangelina twins pics has reached a whopping $15 million — and will probably go a lot higher. Our magazine spies tell us only PEOPLE and OK! are left standing in the bidding war. One spy says the pics are so valuable they would 'print blank pages' the rest of year to get them."
Clearly, the line for the slide was long. But it looks like it was damn well worth the wait.

As they so rarely do when covering music, The New York Times gets it right today with a story about Sony BMG's new plans for their photo archive.
Apparently, Sony has discovered that all the great pictures they've just been storing in their photo collection – like this one of Johnny Cash – can be used to make money while the recording industry faces a tremendous recession.
The article heralds true musicians, ingenuity and art. Finally, Times. Now, do it again.
