UPDATED: Founder Of TOMS Shoes Accidentally Headlines An Event For An Organization That Condemns Homosexuality
Blake Mycoskie is the founder of TOMS shoes which are mostly worn by youthful social groups that tend to trend liberal. Well apparently in complete opposition with the majority of his clientele he headlined an event for Focus On The Family, the evangelical Christian, right wing non-profit that condemns homosexuality and abortion. UPDATE: A rare happy ending to all of this: Blake has released a sincere apology explaining he makes so many appearances that he doesn't fully background check every organization he visits. He fully supports gay rights. This also makes me happy because I knew we couldn't hate that face!

Jay Leno's attempt to relate the Obama administration with the jury from Casey Anthony's trial is both confusing and unfunny (just like most of Leno's career!) and therefore nobody in the audience laughs. Then Jay does something hilarious for the first time in his life. Starts around 1:20

To help the Summer of the Sax along I compiled a list of sax faces simply because that sounds and looks a lot like something else. Tax faces! Not tax faces...those aren't saxxy enough. Ok I'll stop.
