Shake It
Whenever you think the Internet isn’t being used for the betterment of mankind, just look at this and be assured that the minds behind the Internet are hard at work enriching our scociety.
Horrible Movie Idea #221
Every now and then I think of totally awful movies. This time I thought of an “urban” comedy, which is just Hollywood speak for a movie about black people. Urban comedies always seem to have three things: jokes about black people being ghetto, jokes about white people being uncool and Eugene Levy.
“The Brother’s Frat”
New Line Cinema
When urban youths Jamal...
Walt Disney, Venereal Disease and You
Man, you’d never see Pixar make something like this today.
I see former child stars
First Walker told him he had AIDS, then Jenny named him Forrest, then he saw dead people, then he paid it forward. Now he’s 18 and that makes me feel very old. Pic from DListed
Free Music? OK.
I just stumbled across this site called RadioBlogClub.com and I love it so far. Just type in the name of an artist or song you’d like to listen to and it will find it for you. That’s about all I know about it. For all I know this could be highly illegal but it let me listen to Rufus Wainwright’s ‘Instant Pleasure’ so I’m happy.
Oh, Dwight
For any of you who watched last week’s episode of The Office, Boing Boing has tracked down the book that Dwight reads to the children that his “Nazi war criminal” grandmother used to read to him: Strewwelpeter. Apparently, Strewwelpeter was a sort of Edward Scissor Hands, only instead of trimming hedges he cuts of little girls’ thumbs. If you haven’t seen this...
New York's Worst Bar
Every time I leave this place I swear to god I won’t return. But every other weekend it seems I find myself sitting there again, angry and annoyed, sucking back an overpriced cocktail and hating my lack of will power. The cursed bar is called The Black Finn and it resides somewhere in the 50s (53rd maybe) between 2nd and 3rd ave.
You’d think with a name like Black Finn it would be a...
We're On TV!
While watching Scrubs tonight (which was great, by the way) I noticed that Turk was wearing a DeFunker Tee in a few scenes. Being the good employee I am I took a pic. Someone at the Scrubs wardrobe department certainly knows their stuff.
Hacks
The internet is a lawless frontier rife with plagiarism. As a writer you learn to deal with it. People take your stuff and put it on their site and, if they’re nice enough, they’ll let their readers know you wrote it. Most people will acknowledge if something is borrowed from another site which, in my opinion, is just fine. However, every now and then someone steals your work and...
Shocked
Well, I must say that I am shocked and appalled by Mary kate and Ashley Olsen’s behavior as of late. This picture clearly shows the two gallivanting around in bikinis, smoking cigarettes and making obscene hand gestures. Hey MK and AshAsh, if I wanted to date someone like that I’d date myself. No…No, I’m not hearing any of it. I think we shouldn’t see each other...
More Fun With History
Yay learning! Here we are once again ready to dive into the rich world of weird history. In honor of my recent trip across the pond, this edition will be devoted to English history. Don’t worry, you filthy potato eaters, I’ll do an Irish one next week in honor of our favorite drunken saint, Patrick.
The people we think of as British are nowhere near a pure race like the Africans,...
Look Who Looks Like I Look
Hi everyone, I’m back from England and I had a great time. I would post a bunch of pictures but the problem is I didn’t take any. Oh well. However, I did find out today that i am very photogenic thanks to a little site called MyHertiage.com which has a neat tool that allows you to upload a picture of yourself and see which celebrities you look like most. My number one match was...
