Blogging full of fun stuff that doesn't make it onto the main site
A blog run by meatheads into fighting has annoyed us.
It seems the emotionally challenged people over at Fightlinker (bless) have taken to calling people 'gay' for all the wrong reasons.
Earning title shots off virgins is gay apparently.
What WE thought was even more gay was the amount of male flesh on show on the site ....
What are they about to do?
Anyway, it seems in Fightlinker world lots of things are gay ....
Some of the world’s top Rubik’s Cube-sters will be showing off their moves later this month in Spain.
The third official European Rubik’s Cube Championships has a kind of geek chic vibe to it, don’t you think?
And it is in the lovely city of Bilbao. What’s not to like?
The Cube itself is undergoing something of a Renaissance, with more than 12 million sold last year alone.
It is not known how many of that impressive figure have ever been solved - our PinkNews.co.uk estimate is less than 100.
Apparently "many major UK retailers have already forecasted it to be one of their top sellers for Christmas 2008," though that nugget does come from the PR people for the RC Championships.
Happily for them more than 130 Speedcubers, from 17 different countries, have registered for the event.
PinkNews.co.uk top tip for the old Rubik’s Cube - peel off the stickers. Always worked for us!
A video tape of actor Shia LaBeouf fighting with a friend and calling him "faggot" made a huge splash on the internet earlier this week, and now, A-Lister Shia has issued a half-assed apology via his publicist for the YouTube video that happened to go viral, claiming that the video is years old.
But will the gay community forgive and forget?
“The video tape that is currently being circulated is several years old and captures Shia playing a game amongst friends in which he uses a derogatory word towards a friend.
"He regrets having used the word in any capacity and is very embarrassed that this footage is being seen by anyone,” said LaBeouf’s publicist.
The Indiana Jones and Transformers star has in the course of a year faced arrest for refusing to leave a Walgreens when the store closed and was caught smoking marijuana in public.
Now the actor, who turned 22 yesterday, can add YouTube star to his resume—but not the kind of star he might like to be known as.
Rule number one in entertainment—don’t piss off the gays, especially since, in general, they run the blogosphere.
In the video, LaBeouf—who appears to be drunk—seems to have dared his friend to slap him as hard as he can while the camera is rolling.
Friends can be heard in the background cheering and egging each other on. Early in the video, before the slap, LeBeouf taunts his friend with words like “faggot” and “bitch.”
Posted early Tuesday, the video has gone viral, focusing loads of negative press on the young star. Angry bloggers including Perez Hilton and DListed helped to circulate LaBeouf's homophobic video.

As part of the glorious PinkNews.co.uk plan to conquer the known world, you may have noticed that the site has undergone changes. Profound changes. We look different for a start.
As part of ongoing improvement works, the comments area on the main site is not working.
We apologise, and normal service should resume soon.
Those cheeky monkeys at Virgin have been making us smile here at PinkNews towers with their amusing adverts.
As you can see, one of the plugs for the Virgin mobile service in Canada pokes fun at the Hillary lady and her run for the White House in the shadow of Bubba, aka the 42nd President of the United States.
The other mocks the soon to be former Governator of New York, Eliot Spitzer.
He ran into trouble for paying ladies for sex.
And yes we checked, since the ascent of Schwarzenegger that is how you spell Governor. 
But here is the thing: Canadians, like Americans, call mobiles cell phones.
Right?
So Virgin Mobile must mean something totally different to them.
We thought in North America, Mobile either means a play thing you hang above a kid's cot or a city in Alabama!
Are we wrong, readers?
Whiling away the hours here at PinkNews.co.uk headquarters, one of our dedicated team of monkeys came across an intriguing site called newsstand.co.uk
One particular feature of the site appealed to us, namely that when viewing an entry for a magazine and considering buying it, newsstand.co.uk offers consumers a selection of other, related titles.
attitude, the estimable gay glossy with more resurrections than Lazarus, has some odd bedfellows, as you can see below.
While it is amusing to think that your average, style-conscious attitude reader also really digs Take A Break and Bella, the outlook for Mens Health is less rosy.
As you can see below, the only real question is, do any breeders actually read it? Why don't they just come out?
New York based blog Queerty is known for several things: an obsession with dodgy porn star Michael Lucas, an appreciation for the male form and a unique take on current affairs.
In its own words, it is free of an agenda, except that gay one.
Imagine our surprise to find, nestled among their numerous postings, an advert for singlemuslim.com, which as we all know is the UK's leading Muslim marriage service.
Apparently it is all the fault of Google ads, though a Queerty insider did say he thinks the Muslim gentleman in the picture is dishy! 
A new site has hit the web:
The tagline for the site is: “Lesbian Gamers.com - because sometimes we use our hands for other things.”
A spokeswoman for the site told us:
“There was no strictly lesbian gaming site online with such directness as lesbiangamers.com and we think it's going to be a huge success.
“It'll
also welcome contributions from lesbian gamers and hopes to encourage
discussion and friendship within our community. It's really important
for us as lesbian gamers to have somewhere safe and fun to hang out.”
The
site home page says: “If you're a lesbian gamer, or indeed interested
in lesbian gamers (tut tut) you'll find all your video gaming news,
with a little touch of dyke right here.
"If you're a grrl who loves
video games, whilst also loving the ladies, you've just found the right
place on the net.”
