Is it the subprime market? The credit crunch? An end to juicy roles for a meaty hunk still in his 30s? What can a poor out-of-work actor do to earn a crust?
He was Caleb in Buffy The Vampire Slayer season 7, Captain Mal Reynolds in Firefly and Serenity, Dr Adam Mayfair in Desperate Housewives. He was gorgeosity personified. But you've never seen the chiselled square-jawed Nathan Fillion as hunkerlicious as he is here.
I salute you, Captain Mal. I'd happily go down with you and your ship with all hands and able-bodied seamen. Heh, heh!
Aw! Maybe Joss Whedon saw this and took pity coz Nathan Fillion now stars in Joss's internet smash hit musical, Dr Horrible's sing along blog

STOP PRESS: PG Porn isn't without controversy, although I think the grandly named Theresa Darklady Reed may have missed the play on the common euphemism, "nailing", here, when she assumes women will write it off as "... another example of violent misogyny self-righteously disguised as humor."
She says she'd rather get a glimpse of the actress's knockers and Nathan's knackers than have her poor delicate sensibilities assailed by the comedy horror twist.
She writes: " ... beautiful Penthouse Pet Aria Giovanni never gets a chance to show her famous breasts or even catch a peek at what's tucked inside of "Firefly" actor Nathan Fillion's trousers." Yeah, very feminist of you, Ms Reed. Let's hope you get your poke quota up soon.

South Park and The China Problem
If you want to do China-bashing, you might as well do it right and no-one does it like South Park.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone savage Western paranoia in their latest episode, The China Probrem, the season premiere broadcast in America on Comedy Central last night. Starring Eric Cartman as Edward McMillan-Scott (and here).
And featuring Steven Spielberg and George Lucas as you've never seen them before. Poor Indy!
Cartman's Olympic nightmare:
Harro Prease:
Cartman and Butters fight evil Chinese:
Other classic South Park episodes:
Tom Cruise and what Scientologists really believe:
Trapped In The Closet
Just damn good fun:
Make Love Not Warcraft
Something for the Lefties:
Something Wall-Mart This Way Comes

Madam Miaow's New Internationalist column: Hello Dalai!
Oh, yes. Nearly forgot to post my August column for New Internationalist magazine.
So here it is ...
How lucky we are to be born in the enlightened West where we eschew cults of personality in favour of merit. Not for us those mindless automata praying at the altar of Stalin, Mao or Simon Cowell. No, we sophisticates know when we’re being shimmied up the garden path. After all, we got rid of our troublesome clergy in the 16th century. Hey, we even decapitated one of our kings – only one, but it’s the thought that counts.
So what exactly is the lure of the satsuma in specs that is His Holiness, the Dalai Lama? In contrast to China’s trigger-happy capital punishment system he’s certainly seductive.
Celebrities and politicians – two cheeks of the same overfed bottom – flock to Dolly for enlightenment and the chance to soak up a bit of the transcendency transmitted by His Happiness without doing any of the work. Fame, glamour and power? Yum!
Caught with a rodent gnawing away at your fundament and in need of redemption and a bit of nifty PR? Hello Dolly! Owned a few human beings in your time like Dolly’s beloved mother? Forgiveness is yours.
But Sharon Stone, reincarnated as a moron, said the recent devastating earthquake in China was karma for Tibet. Seventy thousand people died as some sort of divine retribution for politics. What kind of a religion is that? Funny how when anything happens to other people it’s karma, or bad stuff they’ve earned through their own actions. Yet whenever bad stuff happens to the Tibetan ruling élite it’s so unfair.
Just a suggestion: maybe what’s happening to them is divine karma coz in their medieval feudal theocracy one tiny group of Tibetans used to own all the other Tibetans. Maybe it’s divine karma because those peace-loving Buddhists used the death penalty until 1920 and torture well into the 1950s. Dolly was overseeing CIA-funded guerrilla warfare from exile in the 1960s – even while he was publicly renouncing violence. What is that, anyhow? Extra backup just in case the divinity’s asleep on the job? It’s okay, God, move along. Nuthin’ to see, we got it covered.
Ooh! There I go being all Chinese and oppressive again. ‘Leave him alone, he’s mastered the art of being happy.’ Know what would make me happy? $180,000 dollars a year paid into my personal bank account by the CIA. I reckon I’d never be in a bad mood again.
On the other hand, look what China’s had in one year: freak snowstorms, earthquakes, flooding. One plague of boils and I will be hedging my bets.
[In 1998 the LA Times reported declassified documents showing $1.7 million a year paid by the CIA to the Tibetan independence movement in the 1960s, with $180,000 paid to the Dalai Lama personally until Nixon stopped US support in the 1970s. The Tibetan government-in-exile acknowledges the $1.7m but denies any went directly to the Dalai Lama.]
