This is actually pretty exciting for us here at YBNBY (or me at least).

Tomorrow, I'm being flown to LA for two days to help kick off The World's Dirtiest Film Competition, in conjunction with Axe Shower Gel. I've been selected as one of a number of guest judges to choose the final winner of the competition, and tomorrow's press junket means I get flown to meet David Spade on the backlot of the Jimmy Kimmel show. What's more they're giving me a Flip Camera to videoblog the whole thing, so expect some YouTube footage when I get back.

"World's Dirtiest Film" and "YesButNoButYes". I have no idea why someone at Axe made that connection, but I digress. Head over to the CollegeHumor minisite to see the current entries. Even though I haven't been given the judging criteria yet, I have to admit - multiple girls getting dirty together wearing YesButNoButYes T shirts will have a natural advantage. (Although probably not much).

There's a beauty contest going on in Second Life, to select the 12 sexiest avatars for inclusion on a calendar, to be published in *gasp* real life. You can find out more all about it at 12 avatars.

Let's pause for a second here and reflect on the concept of a beauty contest in a game where hair, skin and eyes are bought from vendors, where all boobs are perky, and butt size is a matter of just adjusting a slider. So, actually, it's a contest to find the best female avatar designer.

Pictured above is TheDiva Rockin, host of The-Broad-Cast, who's cast have been such vocal supporters of YBNBY in the past that we are duty bound to endorse her candidacy. Besides, because we've heard her voice, she's the only of these girls that we can absolutely confirm isn't a 50 year old gay guy. Probably.

And for those of you who like you calendars with a little more real life flesh, here's a trip back through memory lane with the YBNBY Naked Cowgirl Calendar 2006.

"Across The Universe" *** (out of four): Director Julie Taymor continues to flaunt her dashing sense of style in this one-of-a-kind, Beatles-gone-batty musical.

"Across The Universe" opens with an English bloke named Jude (Jim Sturgess) sitting on the beach and singing, "Is there anybody going to listen to my story?" On its own merits over a Sunday brunch - probably not. As relayed by innovative director Julie Taymor ("Frida," "Lion King" on Broadway) with the aid of 33 Beatles songs? You betcha.

Let the countdown begin...only six days til New York's weeklong celebration of one of life's most selfless, charitable and downright noble industries. Police? Firemen? Doctors? Teachers? No, you schmucks...it's Advertising Week, and a more useless, self-congratulatory circle jerk you won't find in any other industry in America...except maybe porn.

Well, at least we know it's a crock. Just another way for the city to make a few bucks. No harm in that, I guess. And while you're celebrating, check out a site really gets into the true spirit of the occasion...adsturbation.com
