I Am Struggling Valiantly Not To Make A "Thong Song" Joke
The good news: All My Children won __________ of the Week honors somewhere! Usually all this show wins is "Mallory's Profanity Laced Tirade of the Week", so this is exciting and new for them.
The bad news: That somewhere is The Soup and the Clip of the Week honors.
More bad news: That means that in a television landscape that includes The Hills, Paris Hilton's My New BFF and Rock of Love: Charm School, All My Children did something embarrassing enough to warrant this special mention.
Bad news continued: The clip was all about whether or not Cameron Mathison was wearing a thong.
I have to say, after Zaprudering this clip in a way that made me feel very uncomfortable, I don't know if that's a thong; I think it might be a t-shirt that bunched up in an unfortunate way.
I'm so happy that this is being talked about, haha. I couldn't believe my eyes when I was watching that scene - so naturally, I played it back in slow motion. I think it's a thong.. but I also think it's hysterical that I'm not the only one who was trying to figure it out.

Funniest thing I've seen in a while! Even though I agree with you, I think it's a T-shirt bunched up. Still, looks pretty hilarious!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. The soap goddesses gifted this clip to the loyal AMC audience, as a reward for years of sitting through a constant barrage of Lavery worship. Admittedly, I'm no fan of Ryan, but I do feel a little sorry for Cameron Mathison... But that'll pass when I watch the clip again!

Hee! I think it's a t-shirt, though -- looks like there's a gap between the black and the jeans, and I don't think a thong would go up that high.

Freakin' hilarious!!!! I almost fell off the couch when I saw this on The Soup last night! Didn't he once say something about wearing a thong if he made it to the finale of Danicing with the Stars? Hmm....makes you wonder!

Maybe he lost a bet w/Susan Lucci?

it's TOTALLY a thong. an undershirt isn't going to hang that far down his a** crack.

HA! That was awesome. Makes me want to start watching AMC.
But so not a thong. Pause it at 1:04 and you very clearly see the gap between the t-shirt and jeans.

IT IS A THONG! The first time I saw it I couldn't believe it so I played if over and over and over and over and over...it is definitely a thong!
Posted by: SallyV | December 06, 2008 at 08:09 PM
OMG! I saw that on "The Soup"(aka one of my favorite shows EVER... it isn't a week if I haven't seen The Soup[Joel McHale is love])!
It definately LOOKS like a thong and if I didn't know any better I would think it was one but... I have trouble believing that (1)AMC would give him a thong to wear and (2)CM would actually wear it.
Unless of course, it was his and AMC DIDN'T give it to him; in which case *shudder*

It does not matter if it's a thong or not, because this is the most entertaining AMC has been in some years now. The current storyline with Ryan/Green/Aiden/Annie sucks. The spermgate baby and groundbreaking storyline sucks even more. I find the The Soup mentioning Cameron/Ryan on whether he's wearing a thong is funny is hell. Too bad AMC couldn't be mention regarding having a well written groundbreaking storyline.

Not a thong. I saw a very close-up picture of it and you can completely see that it's not a thong. It doesn't descend into his pants. It's a t-shirt. Entertaining though.

Apparently, taking a break from exam studying to check Serial Drama was worth it! I don't think it's a thong, but the mere idea of it made me burst out laughing. That made my week. And the brilliant commentary of The Soup is just icing on the cake!

Yeah, not a thong. Though hilarious none the less. There is no connection between the black triangle and the rest of what it would need to be a thong.

I had to watch this clip about five times when I saw The Soup on Friday. Without a doubt the most entertaining thing to happen on AMC in months.

Probably not a thong, but, for some reason, I wouldn't be shocked if CM did wear one. I think it's the Crazy Eyes.
So OLTL had the Gay Shower of Angst pop up on Best Week Ever, and now AMC's "thong controversy" on The Soup, so what hilarious circumstance will GH give to the pop culture show-verse? MB's hair dye running in the rain? JZ's face melting off? JT hotly showing his ass crack? (Let's hope it's the latter.)

So he wears a thong, big deal. Why is it when a women wears a thong it's considered sexy, but when a men wears one it's gross?
Posted by: Chris | December 08, 2008 at 08:14 AM
Hilarious! I love the Soup and this blog so if there's any excuse for those two to come together (thong or not) I'm one happy lady.
Posted by: junie | December 08, 2008 at 01:13 PM
BN, I personally think it's gross when ANYONE wears a thong. I'm just saying. =)
Posted by: Mouse | December 08, 2008 at 02:31 PM
quite easily the best entertainment to come out of ABC daytime for the year of 2008.
Posted by: Beth R. | December 09, 2008 at 10:36 AM
That's definitely a thong! Ain't no bout-a-doubt it!

It doesn't actually connect to his bottom if you look. Its just the tip of his shirt/undershirt peeking out.
