No one ever envisioned this kind of hands free roaming... Today on BBtv, we explore the age old question of which cell phone brand is the most compatible with your stomach. This phone fricassee takes place at Machine Project, host of the Fry-B-Que social. So, turn your gullet on vibrate, and sharpen your bluetooth. It's time to taste test some telecommunications.

Boing Boing editor David Pescovitz visits the dark, surreal, creepy,
and, er, frightfully cute world of Los Angeles artist
Liz McGrath. Mutant beasts run amok in her
decadent circus sideshow of sculpture where flesh and blood is
replaced with resin, paint, and faux fur. No dead animals were used
in the creation of this artwork.

In this edition of Boing Boing tv: a bizarre Japanese pop tune about butts is gaining in popularity, and spawning related manga and anime -- or is it the other way around?
(related BB posts which tell the story about how a husband and wife animator team dreamed up the "butt biting bug": one, two).
Also in this episode, we explore advertisements that feature something that's never been unpopular - vaginas. (related BB post: Link).
Update: BBtv viewer Jonathan Murphy created some cafepress t-shirts to riff on the "Vaginads" segment and explains,
Here's an insta-meme from the bbTV clip. I thought it might be funny. I wanted the "dot" in .com to substitute for "don't."
