Massive Link Dump for Friday

1) The Biggest Sexology Breakthroughs from io9.com

Bisexuality exists
Sigmund Freud, the father of modern psychiatry, is famous for remarking that everyone is bisexual. His idea was remarkable for two reasons. One, it acknowledged that there was a middle position between gay and straight (a relatively rare belief among doctors); and two, it paved the way for a more nuanced understanding of how sexuality exists on a continuum rather than as a binary system. Jumping off from Freud's idea, infamous twentieth century sex researcher Alfred Kinsey created what has come to be known as the Kinsey Scale for sexual orientation. On that scale, 0 is completely heterosexual and 6 is completely homosexual. Kinsey and his colleagues did decades of in-depth research to determine that most people fall somewhere in the middle of the scale. You can see their research in Kinsey's most famous works: Sexual Behavior in the Human Male and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female. All research was based on thousands of anonymous interviews conducted all over the United States.

2) Mario Batali has banned Gordon Ramsey

The beefy "Iron Chef" has prohibited the star of Fox's "Hell's Kitchen," who runs a fancy place at the London NYC Hotel, from entering any of Batali's dining spots, including the Spotted Pig and Babbo, after Ramsay began calling him "Fanta Pants" to make fun of the orange shorts Batali sometimes wears. The effeminate moniker is a nod to the popular brand of orange soda

3) The GOP will be a party with no minorities in it.

"Too often we've let others define us," McConnell said. "And the image they've painted isn't very pretty. Ask most people what Republicans think about immigrants, and they'll say we fear them. Ask most people what we think about the environment, and they'll say we don't care about it. Ask most people what we think about the family, and they'll tell you we don't — until about a month before Election Day."

4) Not Hating Just Saying Weighs in on the Octuplets...

Listen. A lot of people are going to be throwing around the world "heroic" to describe her in the next few weeks. Don't be fooled. This lady is an idiot. Did you know she already had six kids before the octuplets? Do you realize how fucked up that is? That means that she and her husband had birthed six kids in the past seven years, and decided that fertility treatment was necessary. It's understandable that they wouldn't bother having sex, because her vagina is probably the equivalent of the bottom loop in Skeet Ball at Chuck E. Cheese's. Although ironically, the couple would probably have been better off if they'd played a different version of skeet ball.

5) Money got you access to Obama...sorta...and not is a safe way...

There are two levels to this story: one, that no one considers rich liberals to be a threat. And two, that the rich liberals were concerned not so much with the safety of our president than they were with the terrible idea of being infiltrated by commoners.

6)  Happy Birthday, Dov!

Whatever you do, understand this: this is your last day as a dirty perv. When the clock strikes midnight, you officially become a dirty old perv.
Welcome to the demographic.

7) Pictures for Sad Children is Kind of Sad.

8) Nip/Tuck is vaguely terrifying

"Not content with depictions or descriptions of bestiality, incestuous necrophilia, or blood-soaked stabbings, the narcissistic sociopaths behind the production and distribution of Nip/Tuck have chosen to establish yet another low-point in the history of television."
