It’s Opening Day for our little corner of the internet, so let’s kick it off with a quick video to set the mood. Lower your lights, chill your beverage, and settle in for a piece of cinema history.

I give you Black Belt Jones.

After the jump (hey look, I’m a Gawker Media site), it’s Bas Rutten. He’ll be giving you some instructions on how to defend yourself if things get hairy during your visit to Denuology.com.

Welcome.

Will Disaster Girl soon reach MEME status? Probably not, but it’s a fun community involvement concept created by BuzzFeed.

This year, celebs came-a-flockin’ supporting the historic election. From Oprah to George Clooney to Jon Voight, the famous (and even not-so-famous) rallied to get the vote out. Whether they supported John McCain or (now President-Elect) Barack Obama, the point was: get out there and vote. Vote for a cause, vote for your leader, and vote for yourself.

Recently, Carrie Underwood spoke out stating she lost all respect for celebrities who endorsed specific candidates as it implied that American public “wasn’t smart enough to make their own decisions.” A bit extreme, considering anyone who be slightly famous ought to sit back, for it could imply Americans weren’t smart enough to make decisions on their own.

At the same time…maybe there are certain “celebrities” that should sit this one out.
