NEW YORK CITY — Conservative commentator Bill O’Reilly used his “O’Reilly Factor” Fox News program tonight, February 28th, to harshly criticize San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom for declaring February 23 as “COLT Studio Day” in honor of the company’s 40th anniversary.

Pictured here are COLT honchos Tom Settle and John Rutherford with San Francisco Assemblyman Mark Leno at the COLT 40th party.

“The mayor of San Francisco [signed] a proclamation honoring a gay porn outfit,” an outraged Mr. O’Reilly teased before a commercial break. “[You’re] not gonna believe it!” Before a second commercial break he teased again, “Can it be true?”

San Francisco, Calif. — Hundreds of guests converged on the San Francisco War Memorial in San Francisco for COLT Studio’s mega-bash celebrating their 40th anniversary. Spotlights raked the sky, a red carpet lined the sidewalk and seminude waiters (in COLT-brand undies, natch) kept the crowd fed and liquored-up. It was the biggest bash GayPornLand has seen in years.

San Francisco Councilman Mark Leno presented COLT’s John Rutherford with a special citation, comedian Alec Mapa delivered blisteringly funny standup (he was carried onstage, wearing a ball gag in his mouth, by COLT Exclusives Darin Hawk and Gage Weston) and fellow studio exclusive Carlo Masi popped out of a giant cake to deliver an erotic stripdown as cameras flashed.
