Hallmark is Racist

Hallmark has released an audio greeting card for recent graduates with a space theme. When the card is opened, the characters (”Hoops” and “YoYo”) ramble on about the recipient’s attributes.
A representative from the company described it this way:
“The card’s theme is the solar system and emphasizes the power of the grad to take over the universe…”
So [...]

For you bullies.

You mean to tell me that home is not off limits?!
AWESOME!!!
Thanks for the tip, CNN!

Randomness (and Nightclub Tampons)

I’ll start off with this loving couple.
Together, on a date, totally engrossed in their own respective iPhone games.

(They didn’t say anything to each other the entire time I was being nosey.)
I know that we need to suspend some belief while playing with this lego set. However I don’t see why the bad guys would need [...]

Just As I Suspected

I was in Stop & Shop the other day purchasing frozen pizza and popping corn.
As I was getting ready to pay I looked over to see the person behind me had put down only pistachios and an astronomy magazine.

I tried to come up with a mental picture of what type of person would have made [...]

NBC Is Cheating Me Out Of Curling

I loves me some curling; that’s no secret.

Needless to say I’ve been rather excited that NBC is dedicating a ridiculous amount of time to the winter olympics right now. And considering the events are in Vancouver, I figured Curling would get a decent amount of coverage.

Now, I’m pretty cheap and I don’t pay for all [...]

I’ve Got To Hand This Over Too?!

Dammit.
I’ve been pretty vocal about my love for Nikola Tesla. I’ve even flipped Edison the bird in Tesla’s honor.
Now the Wall Street Journal (of all places) is reporting that Tesla is in vogue.
Tesla, in short, is cool.

(I’ll let this one slide… but only because it’s you, Bowie.)
I’m happy for you Tesla, and frankly I’m ecstatic that more [...]

What about Jimmy!?

Oh man is it a mess over at NBC right now.

After the Late Night switch up which landed Conan O’Brien “The Tonight Show” and Jimmy Fallon “Late Night“, NBC just couldn’t give up Jay Leno.
In the network’s infinite wisdom they gave Leno his own one hour show (aptly named “The Jay Leno Show,” which is [...]

Why Shitty Movies Break Records

Avatar just grossed over $1.14 Billion globally.

Yeah, I just said “billion,” and that’s in less than 3 weeks.

The movie studios like to tout how each consecutive movie they release brings in more and more money. Every big movie that comes out seems to break some previous box office record.
Hell, The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is highest [...]

Proof That God Loves Us

Comedy Central has canceled the Jeff Dunham Show.

At best he is a 47 year old hack comic with his lame jokes, 5 o’clock shadow, contrived wardrobe and gold cross necklace he clearly displayed on his show.
At worst his jokes promote ignorance, racism and homophobia. (And not even in the good way.)
Anyone who knows me will [...]

Here’s Some Filler.

I don’t have anything profound to say, so here is a bunch of random stuff.
It’s a pretty weak “James Bond Car Exhibit” when it only features AMCs.

While we are on the subject of crappy cars; it’s one thing to own a PT Cruiser, it’s another to pimp it out.
I’m still not sure whether I’d want [...]
