ANCIENT QUESTIONS  10:30 am March 3, 2010

Fox News Needs To Mind Its Own Business

by Jim Newell

Hmm… how many hours are in the day, again? Whatever that number is plus two more hours, daily. We know that puberty is hard for you, Fox News, so feel free to pass on any more questions. YOU’RE NORMAL. IT’S A NATURAL PROCESS. [Buzzfeed via Fox News-loving operative "Ryan M."]

So now they’re asking questions from BO Reilly’s job application?

magic titty March 3, 2010 at 10:34 am

Mark Foley’s tweeting now too?

Mr Blifil March 3, 2010 at 10:35 am

It’s an unfair question because I’m not sure if I’m supposed to include the period of time I am attempting to log onto ladyboyjuice.com

freakishlystrong March 3, 2010 at 10:39 am

Is this a stupid Fox poll question? If so, is the answer 129%?

Magister March 3, 2010 at 10:39 am

Does an “accidental” brushing of an ass count?

Pithaughn March 3, 2010 at 10:39 am

Alright already! I admit, when the twirly ice skating ladies lift one let over their head, yes dammit I’m thinking about touching that part of them.

Joshua Norton March 3, 2010 at 10:40 am

Fox really needs it’s own CSI team.

JMP March 3, 2010 at 10:41 am

Well, I guess I don’t while sleeping, but the rest of the time…

This only shows the first part of the the question, however. The full quote was: “How often do you think about touching other people’s private parts? Have you thought about touching mine? Please? How about just a hug, then? I’m so sad and lonely.” – Glenn Beck.

GoinGreen March 3, 2010 at 10:42 am

I must admit one of my darkest secrets – I want to touch Sister Sarah’s private parts!

bitchincamaro March 3, 2010 at 10:42 am

“When did you stop beating your wife meat?”

bureaucrap March 3, 2010 at 10:50 am

As Sartre said, “Hell is Other people[s private parts]“. I think he himself thought about Simone de Beauvoir’s private parts fairly regularly.

Monsieur Grumpe March 3, 2010 at 10:50 am

Define private parts.

JMP March 3, 2010 at 10:57 am

[re=523524]Joshua Norton[/re]: O’Reilly’s question would be more, “How often do you touch your own private parts? Now describe how you do so in graphic detail. Oh, yeah that’s it.”

Because when you’re an attractive young woman working for him, Bill doesn’t want anybody else; and when he thinks about you, he’ll touch himself.

SayItWithWookies March 3, 2010 at 10:57 am

So far only once…just constantly since I was twelve.

Redhead March 3, 2010 at 10:58 am

They didn’t clarify between touching your adult significant other’s private parties and touching the private parts of (and choking!) your underage intern while he’s passed out on wine and roofies.

norbizness March 3, 2010 at 11:00 am

If watching Fox News regularly shaves about 30 IQ points off one’s testing, then getting it secondhand must be cutting into mine by about 15 or so.

Buzz Feedback March 3, 2010 at 11:02 am

Too busy touching my own to think about touching someone else’s.

BOOBIES! March 3, 2010 at 11:03 am

Is it sweeps week already? Edward Murrow and Walter Cronkite are puking in their graves about now.

thesheriffisnear March 3, 2010 at 11:03 am

How often do I think about touching other people’s private parts?

A whole lot less than before since the invention of internet porn!

Oldskool March 3, 2010 at 11:04 am

You can bet Fox News will be all over this outrage. No wait…

WIDTAP March 3, 2010 at 11:05 am

The question is vague. It all depends on whose private parts we are talking about. For example Nancy Pelosi and Jim Newell – not at all.

Mad Brahms March 3, 2010 at 11:11 am

[re=523543]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: Define “touching”, too.

GoinGreen March 3, 2010 at 11:12 am

[re=523557]WIDTAP[/re]: Nancy Pelosi kinda gives me happy pants as well. Maybe it’s a dominatrix thing??

proudgrampa March 3, 2010 at 11:12 am

“Ya ever been in a cockpit before?”

“Ya ever seen a grown man naked?”

helzapoppn March 3, 2010 at 11:13 am

They down with OPP?

Never woulda guessed, seeing how much the Fox hosts enjoy wanking on-camera.

Prommie March 3, 2010 at 11:13 am

It would really be a lot easier, in my case at least, to ask how often I don’t think of touching other people’s private parts. That way I would not have to use scientific notation.

Carrie_Okie March 3, 2010 at 11:15 am

Well since I left the SEC, I’ve been pretty stressed so all the time.. we are talking about other people who are trannies, right?

Prommie March 3, 2010 at 11:21 am

[re=523562]proudgrampa[/re]: Do you like gladiator movies, Timmy?

Mad Brahms March 3, 2010 at 11:24 am

[re=523566]Carrie_Okie[/re]: Are parts private if they are on the internet? Hrm…

steverino247 March 3, 2010 at 11:25 am

You can watch it being done for $19.95 a month at http://www.muslincumcommies.com!

Seriously, WTF kind of a question is that for a news station to post on the air? Think of the chil…, no wait, don’t think of the children.

Joshua Norton March 3, 2010 at 11:26 am

OTHER people have privates? Who knew?

jetjaguar March 3, 2010 at 11:30 am

I’m Ron Bergundy?

Snarkalicious March 3, 2010 at 11:30 am

Do cock-punches count?

betterDeadThanRed March 3, 2010 at 11:30 am

They really need to be more specific. By “touching” do they mean specifically using hands? Some people are orally fixated and some like to nuzzle. Or so I’ve read on the Internet. Yeas just read about it on the Internet. Trannies also (on the Internet).

Mad Brahms March 3, 2010 at 11:31 am

[re=523574]steverino247[/re]: Link doesn’t work. DAMN. We need to start that up, pronto. I’m sure there are tons of liberal-rape-enthusiasts and closet-muslin-lovers out there. It’s a goldmine waiting to be tapped!

nappyduggs March 3, 2010 at 11:36 am

Did anyone else take a right at that post and click on the linky to see John Gosselin’s alleged baby schfonz? Well I am a preevert so I did, and I think that penis is touching, in that it is sad. So, Fox News, I don’t often think about touching other people’s privates parts, but apparently I do find some people’s private parts touching.

user-of-owls March 3, 2010 at 11:38 am

As other news organizations are sharply cutting back on staff, Murdoch’s Empire is making so much money he can afford to hire a full time Chief Frottage Correspondent.

DoktorZoom March 3, 2010 at 11:41 am

Brain shorting out trying to imagine a context in which this even remotely makes sense.

elburrito March 3, 2010 at 11:41 am

I’m always so busy thinking about touching my own privates.

gurukalehuru March 3, 2010 at 11:42 am

“referring to his pattern of anti-social behavior” Whatever else it is, thinking about touching other people’s private parts is not anti-social, sort of by definition.

gurukalehuru March 3, 2010 at 11:43 am

In fact, touching someone else’s private parts is just about the most social thing you can do. Beats a handshake or a kiss on the cheek, hands down.

queeraselvis v 2.0 March 3, 2010 at 11:44 am

Somehow, some way, Fox is going to turn this into an expose involving the White House. “An exhaustive Fox News poll found that 193% of viewers did indeed touch their private parts regularly since Barack Obama was elected president. Does the White House have some sort of secret mind ray leading Americans down the path of moral turpitude, self-touching, and tentacle porn? Bill O’Reilly investigates!”

Katydid March 3, 2010 at 11:45 am

[re=523535]JMP[/re]: Are you male or female? Never mind, it doesn’t matter. Do NOT try to tell us you have never greeted the morning, shall we say, refreshed and raring to go and…not gonna say it.

Katydid March 3, 2010 at 11:47 am

Great hed, Newell. Hee hee, see what I did there?

CthuNHu March 3, 2010 at 11:47 am

Twice a day, on days when someone mentions Ann Coulter.

On days without interruptions, just once.

oldwhiteguy March 3, 2010 at 11:47 am

just trying to get my avatar to show up. but to answer the question: only when i see a woman. or think about one.

betterDeadThanRed March 3, 2010 at 11:48 am

Wonkette obviously does not need to cover Fox News anymore. They have become a parody of themselves and no comment we can make is any funnier or more outlandish than Fox itself.

Mad Brahms March 3, 2010 at 11:49 am

[re=523597]gurukalehuru[/re]: By this logic – and hey, I’m not saying your wrong! – Bonobos are totally more social than we are, since they pretty much screw to say “hello”. What percentage of the fox news audience is trained apes? WHO KNOWS.

Mad Brahms March 3, 2010 at 11:52 am

[re=523601]CthuNHu[/re]: Ann Coulter is erection repellent. Seriously, you could bottle her essence and sell her to sex offenders, which would be a better use for her than allowing her to write columns.

JMP March 3, 2010 at 11:54 am

[re=523599]Katydid[/re]: True; I guess it’s more that I don’t normally remember thinking about them while asleep.

[re=523601]CthuNHu[/re]: There is the desperate rush to try and think of something, anything non-sexual whenever anyone mentions that hateful thing; Palin, also.

bitchincamaro March 3, 2010 at 11:55 am

[re=523598]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: KEEP YER GUMMINT HANDS OFF MY PRIVATE PARTS1!11!

JMP March 3, 2010 at 11:58 am

[re=523605]Mad Brahms[/re]: We could also throw in a little Jonah Goldberg essence for the straight female & gay male sex offenders.

Tommmcatt March 3, 2010 at 12:01 pm

[re=523605]Mad Brahms[/re]:

Yet wingnuts often trot her out as an example of “hot”. Michelle Malkin too.

Which tells you a little bit about what their wives and girlfriends look like.

S.Luggo March 3, 2010 at 12:02 pm

It’s not so much a question as it is philosophical issue.

BTW: How are the Teabaggers planning to respond?

jetjaguar March 3, 2010 at 12:05 pm

[re=523611]S.Luggo[/re]: When they finish up.

Tundra Grifter March 3, 2010 at 12:06 pm

[re=523562]proudgrampa[/re]: “Joey – do you like gladiator movies?”

Mad Brahms March 3, 2010 at 12:07 pm

[re=523611]S.Luggo[/re]: Perhaps this is the key. Touching another’s private parts is icky, because you are gratifying them, but placing your scrotum in someone else’s mouth is totally A-#1, because it’s all about you, baby, rugged individual american trucknutz teaparty paultard 2012.

Red Zeppelin March 3, 2010 at 12:08 pm

[re=523594]DoktorZoom[/re]: Yeah, the latest Sci Am has a cool article about how the brain is basically humming all the time in different areas. So, you can safely put me down for “all the time.”

twowheeljunkie March 3, 2010 at 12:08 pm

Well I for one have cut back on thinking about touching other people’s private parts.
About 1.26 millionth of a second than last week.

JMP March 3, 2010 at 12:08 pm

[re=523610]Tommmcatt[/re]: Malkin is actually physically attractive, though. She’s a hideous, evil person, but does look good; unlike most of the other allegedly hot conservative activists.

This Cat March 3, 2010 at 12:19 pm

[re=523610]Tommmcatt[/re]: I don’t know, I’d like to see Michelle’s face wrapped around my private parts.

proudgrampa March 3, 2010 at 12:20 pm

[re=523567]Prommie[/re]: [re=523614]Tundra Grifter[/re]: Okay, guys. Was it Joey? Or was it Timmy?

Inquiring minds want to know!

This Cat March 3, 2010 at 12:20 pm

Ever been in a Turkish prison?

smitallica March 3, 2010 at 12:25 pm

If I mostly think about touching other people’s private parts with MY OWN private parts, does it count twice? I don’t want to screw up the metrics.

Prommie March 3, 2010 at 12:26 pm

[re=523616]Red Zeppelin[/re]: The brain it buzzes like a refrigerator? Call the Karma Police.

AnnieGetYourFun March 3, 2010 at 12:29 pm

That’s odd – I mean, I spend a couple hours a day thinking of all kinds of perverted fun that I could get up to if I wasn’t so lazy, but I never really think “Goodness, I would like to touch his/her private parts!” I might think about fisting, licking, fucking with a strap-on, being fucked with a strap-on, scissoring/tribidating, and getting my furry suit dry cleaned, but it never occurs to me to simply TOUCH private parts.

I can’t tell if “touching” seems better or worse than what I like to do to private parts.

sati demise March 3, 2010 at 12:33 pm

Well that explains Steve ‘douche’ Doocy putting his hand on Anthony Weiners knee the other morning on fox & friends.

thefrontpage March 3, 2010 at 12:33 pm

Define often.

WadISay March 3, 2010 at 12:34 pm

I think about kicking Tim Pawlenty in the cunt all the time.

Prommie March 3, 2010 at 12:40 pm

[re=523632]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Hey now, all those things are “touching,” the term “touching” is not confined to “poking with an extended forefinger,” you know.

Our Hobo Senator March 3, 2010 at 12:42 pm

I think about touching George Washington’s private parts.

RoscoePColtraine March 3, 2010 at 12:52 pm

Wasn’t this one of the questions on the proposed GOP litmus test?

Tommmcatt March 3, 2010 at 12:56 pm

Exactly.

Darkness March 3, 2010 at 1:00 pm

Does this count the dumbf*ck graphic artist I want to kick in the groin? If so, then, yeah, I’ve lost track already today.

RoscoePColtraine March 3, 2010 at 1:05 pm

[re=523666]Tommmcatt[/re]: I understand it, though. We’ve all brought someone home at the end of the night who we’d have been mortified for our friends to see. Sometimes standards go out the window for the sake of expediency, amirite?

[re=523673]RoscoePColtraine[/re]: When Homer and family visited the Duff’s brewery, they tried out the “beer goggles,” which made Thelma and Patty look attractive, if I recall correctly.

As a chronic masturbator with multiple personality disorder, I think about touching “other people’s” private parts literally nonstop.

I just want to say you’re doing a great job, and we’re all counting on you.

eclecticbrotha March 3, 2010 at 2:06 pm

I only think about touching the private parts of Meghan McCabe, except she has no private parts.

steverino247 March 3, 2010 at 2:18 pm

[re=523582]Mad Brahms[/re]: I used that gag yesterday on here and yes, I do need to get that set up one of these days. Not sure how you get the rights to it, though. Suggestions? (Besides, go touch yourself, of course)

Snarkalicious March 3, 2010 at 3:04 pm

[re=523611]S.Luggo[/re]: By saying “I never did touch that 8 year old! You don’t ‘touch’ with yer mouth, ye damn idjit.”

I think Fox viewers are just exploring the “Pubic Option” they keep hearing about on the tee-vee.

rottenart March 3, 2010 at 4:38 pm

[re=523628]Prommie[/re]: Actually, that’s why Faux has 162% polls; they’re constantly trying to talk in maths.
