CNN Waaaay Too Excited About a Teen ‘Sex in the City’ (or Speaking of Teens That Will Land Me In Jail)

So in today’s episode, I count off CNN’s truly disturbing attempts to cast a teen version of Sex and the City with a bunch of jailbait celebrities.

Speaking of jailbait, today’s shoutout goes to two teenage girls who have absolutely nothing in common except for their alleged (and highly dubious) desire to marry me. If you read the comments (like I do while wearing a velvet robe and sitting in a chair of fine mahogany and leather) you might realize I’m talking about our own Nerdlette and Direwookie. But which to marry?

One lives in Canada (somewhere); the other lives in Texas.
One is a future Greenpeace activist; the other shoots guns and likes Sarah Palin’s style
One looks like Tina Fey’s punk rock niece; the other, the love child of Jamie Lee Curtis and Nicole Kidman.

I can’t decide. I have so many questions: Will their boyfriends mind? How about my wife? And just how illegal would it be for me to even exchange an erotic email with them? (Answer: very, very illegal).

Ultimately, I think this should be decided by cage match, but that’s my answer for everything.

  1. UkrainianGirls Says:

    I think that it is a very interesting and amusing article. Practically all its main points are true.

  2. Darkmage Says:

    No video again. I’m becoming disillusioned…

  3. Mr. Quinn Says:

    I love you, Gladstone. A freaky sensitive exploited child told me that we are meant to be together. I went to Gladstone Elementary school and Gladstone is my favorite British PM! Don’t that beat all?

  4. Starbite Says:

    Haha that was great! Laugh out loud funny actually. I think Dakota Fanning is an excellent actress, especially in Taken, and if she did a sex and the city crappy movie it would be a big shame.

  5. Haligirl Says:

    Great HBN! I love the zinger, you really need to include that more often

  6. direwookiee Says:

    bear+rifle=dead bear

    DONE
    (this is the only type of math we can do in texas.)

  7. Mercilessfish Says:

    >and nerdlette’s CANADIAN.
    >c’mon!

    >she’s afraid of a cage match; she knows i’d flatten her in seconds.

    I wouldn’t discount the fact that Nerdlette’s Canadian. Canada also has bears.

    You do the math. I’m going to bed.

  8. MJ -89 Says:

    You don’t need parental permission from what I was told. When I was in highschool (two years ago) They gave us out a booklet called “Am I Old Enough?” which deals with the laws that effect adolescents the most and we also had a whole information session on it. Obviously sex was a hot topic because we were all curious to know how illegal it was for us, turned out not at all. I’m under the impression that marriage is completely irrelevant when it comes to sex in Australia. (Link to the 2008 PDF of the book http://www.legalaid.vic.gov.au/upload/cl.am_i_old_enough.pdf)

    A friend of my mine who recently graduated from the Police Academy was taught the same as what’s in that book when we discussed it a couple of months ago.

    How long ago did they tell you that you needed parental permission? I’m really curious to know if they’ve changed this or if it’s just information that isn’t made very available anymore. Cause if so that’s really misleading.

  9. Panzer-Stier Ross Says:

    I’m actually glad I didn’t know about the law in Victoria that time I was in Melbourne.

    That’d just be way too much pressure.

  10. Wallsy Says:

    Oh, and MJ -89, technically you need parental permission if you’re under 16 and not married. Also, it’s illegal to get married if you’re under 16 but if you got married somewhere where it was legal and then moved to Victoria then you can still legally have sex.

    (They gave us a booklet about this stuff in highschool - it was a few years ago now, but I doubt it’s changed much)

  11. Wallsy Says:

    Pluck pluck pluck pluck pluck.

    Brilliant. Best HBN ever? Possibly.

    Also, Adam44, I really like the word “Swaimliness”. It should be used at every opportunity henceforth.

  12. MJ -89 Says:

    @ Res_Ipsa

    You think 14 is bad?

    I guess in Victoria, Australia most people would say it’s 16 (unless the other person in a carer in which case it’s 18) however between the ages of 10 and 15 you can legally have sex with anybody so long as they’re not more than 2 years older than you.

  13. LexTaliones Says:

    Why is this newsworthy? Ugh, CNN has serious problems. Next thing you know that “What the Buck” buy will be an anchor there.

    That “ZINGER” was awesome.

  14. Adam44 Says:

    HBN has steadily gotten better since you got back from the computer failure-indued hiatus. Nice.

    Still not DOB-level, but approaching Swaimliness.

  15. Metalbrainsurgery, Jörmungandr Says:

    my vote goes to direwookiee
    For one, nerdlette is all scene, and I hate scene chicks. 2: green peace=fucking crazy
    Gun shooting is preaty bad ass.
    Also direwookiee is … er… um .. cute? Can I say that? Not like a pedo or anything, she just looks more attractive.

  16. jmcfarl3 Says:

    you da man, gladstone

  17. direwookiee Says:

    and nerdlette’s CANADIAN.
    c’mon!

    she’s afraid of a cage match; she knows i’d flatten her in seconds.

  18. AJV Says:

    That has got to be the creepiest CNN segment ever. I never really understood the popularity of Sex and the City or the young actresses they mentioned. But aside from all that, this episode of HBN was very funny.

  19. Gladstone Says:

    No campaigning Nerdlette. This can only be solved by cage match.

  20. nerdlette Says:

    Direwookiee likes Sarah Palin.
    C’mon.

  21. Res_Ipsa Says:

    You mean he’s not already a cult leader? I was thinking that he’s well on his way . . .

  22. maddie Says:

    You could fix the marrying underage girls thing and the multiple wives thing by starting your own cult.

    Just think a compound in the middle of nowhere, flowing robes, a spiritual ban on underwear, 24/7 reverence and all the crazy lady / girl booty a charasmatic leader could ever need!

  23. Wren Says:

    You should have wrapped it up by finding an excuse to talk in the sexy voice of last weeks HBN. Heck, if you can’t find an excuse, just doing it out of the blue would be good enough.

    And TheGWD is right. I’ve studied phsychology, and I know that all straight men have brains like those cardboard tubes that they’re nice enough to pre-wrap in case you want to give one as a gift.

  24. direwookiee Says:

    no, nerdlette
    I am the winner.
    the winner is I.

  25. Res_Ipsa Says:

    There are actually a bunch. http://www.avert.org/aofconsent.htm There you go, Gladstone. Now you should be able to cover your ass well enough. While tappin’ that ass.

  26. Haunter Says:

    Nicely done, Gladstone…

  27. Haruhi Says:

    I’m the raping man.

  28. Matthew Wiley Says:

    I’m the thinking man.

  29. nerdlette Says:

    Me, the winner is me.
    Just so you know.

  30. Haruhi Says:

    MJ- seeing as Emma watson lives in the UK, I’m just saying that when she turned 16 you could have flown over and done anything you wanted, nice and legally.

  31. Panzer-Stier Ross Says:

    I think it’s Hawaii Res but I honestly don’t want to be right about that.

  32. Res_Ipsa Says:

    16 is legal age in a lot of the states. One of the states’ age of consent is actually 14. But I’m too lazy to look it up.

    And in some parts of Casnadia, or so I hear, it’s 14. 14!! And don’t even ask about Japan.

  33. Robot Jesus Says:

    brilliant! Remember its not Pedophelia if they dont find the kids body!

  34. MJ -89 Says:

    Haruhi, I’m pretty sure that law like that effect people depending on the country they are presently in and not which country they are a citizen of.

    That’s really an upside though, Gladstone can just fly over to one of the “cool countries” and no longer be a criminal! (Until the American police track him down again)

  35. Panzer-Stier Ross Says:

    Haha, magic age.

    That sounds like it should be the title of an adult Harry Potter;
    Dirty Harry Potter and The Magic Age of Consent.

  36. Haruhi Says:

    Also, interesting tidbit of info, as Emma Watson is a UK citizen, she’s been legal for 2 years now (16 is the magic age here)

  37. Haruhi Says:

    Pfft, why pick one girl, when you can stick both in a blender and shag whatever comes out.

  38. Danni Says:

    My god! That guy has the worst Pedo-smile I’ve ever seen!

  39. pingollum, creepy #1 fanning fan! Says:

    Aaaah not to worry Gladstone! Personally, I like to embroider catchy phrases on my dog’s sweater while baking cookies. While wrestling bears. Multifunctional is the new metro.

  40. eldirector Says:

    But seriously, nice job Gladstone. This is my favorite HBN so far

  41. eldirector Says:

    Shana does have a right to be insulted! Just look at her incredible… um … grammer!

  42. ray Says:

    BEST
    HBN
    EVER

  43. Shana Says:

    I am so insulted that you wrote about jailbait cracked readers and I was not once mentioned!

  44. Andy Bar Says:

    Well done. I love pedophilia! I mean…um…JOKES about pedophilia…

  45. Lounsey Says:

    @lapinot

    Why after this HBN? What about his special sexy episode last week?

  46. lapinot Says:

    p.s. Hire Molly McAleer, now formerly of Defamer.

  47. lapinot Says:

    I would very much like to pluck the smiley woman on the right but after this HbN I’m also willing to exchange erotic e-mails with Gladstone.

  48. direwookiee Says:

    Mrs. Nelson is soooo strict!1!! like major bitch freak!!
    she saw my phone and was all like “hey, no phones!” and i was all like “puhleeeese” and she was just like “kay watever”.
    so me and my bff Kelsi (her mom spells it Kelsey but she likes it better with an i) went to the bathroom so we could check our phones

  49. everythingisayisalieinfacti'mlyingrightnow Says:

    2 and 3 were the best.

  50. tshp Says:

    You should pluck them both.

  51. greengoddess Says:

    There are so many things wrong with the CNN segment. So creepy…

    HBN, however, just keeps getting better and better.

    The T-shirt is sexy.

  52. Parker Lindstrom Says:

    Nerdlette and Direwookie can’t respond until they get out of school. They said they will try to comment from their iphones at recess but if Mrs. Nelson catches them then the have to stand by the wall for the rest of gymclass.

  53. glendoor42 Says:

    That was pretty plucking funny. This was the best plucking HBN in a while.

  54. katkcheshire Says:

    Amazing and disturbing. I think my laughter just got me fired. Kudos.

  55. TheGWD Says:

    Working on a car while wrestling a bear? That’s called multi-tasking, and that’s not very manly.

  56. Billy goat Says:

    Gladstone, you dirty prick, did you just steal a joke from MAD magazine? Go stick a fork in the wall-socket, the pain is no more then you deserve.

    Big fan of HBN, btw. Keep up the good work.

  57. Gman Says:

    This was awesome

  58. Metalbrainsurgery, Jörmungandr Says:

    Gladstone you fiend, I can’t stop laughing. That zinger alert was hilarious. The whole thing was hilarious.

    Favorite line “Thats like a new form of cancer featureing leprosy.”

  59. LoriT Says:

    CAGE MATCH!

  60. MJ -89 Says:

    Best HBN so far, in my opinion.

    I’d like to name my favourite parts but I’m fairly sure I’d just be copying and pasting the script.

    Let’s make babies.

  61. Fragg Says:

    Very creepy! Btw, which of those two girls are you going to pluck, Gladstone?
