I'm Not Really Sure Which Is Worse



Jennifer Love Hewitt talking about "vejazzling" (her words, not mine), or Pat Robertson blaming the poverty and recent earthquake in Haiti on the Haitian people's pact with the devil ("true story"). ON AN EARTHQUAKE RELIEF FUND SHOW. Then again, it IS the 700 Club... which horrifies me into stupefaction, and baffles me that PBS still airs it.

On the one hand, we have the prejudice of an old, crochety man filled with old timey devil-worshippin' stories trying to reinstate the Salem Witch Trials, on the other we have J Love talking about her naughty bits AGAIN. Yes, she does manage to slip a self-serving boobie reference in the clip too. I wonder if she brings up her boobs this often in non-public conversation: "Hey, wanna go see a movie? My boobs are really tired of staying at home. By the way, I'll try not to blind you with my crystallized cooter when we go out in the sun."

Oh, and just to make me die a little more inside, Andy Martin is at it again, this time accusing Mark Kirk of being a "de facto pedophile" for covering up Mark Foley's alleged diddling with young pages in Congress. Don't believe the Republican party when they say they shut this guy up. They're secretly loving it. Hit the link above to the Huffington Post, it'll give you audio.

How It Should Have Ended



Things I Love About This Clip:

1.) "What? EW! NO!"

2.) Jasper sounds like Goliath ("ohhh Davey!")

3.) bazillion abs

4.) The Radiohead song: "Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah" version

Happy Slappy New Year! or: The Only Way I Can Stomach The Black Eyed Peas



Despite the careless choice to feature a mascot, I found myself hypnotically drawn to this mash up.

Happy New Year, folks! Hold money at midnight, look someone straight in the eye while toasting, and use public transportation tonight!

Republicans Are Crazy Lying Liars.


I will fully admit, not all of them. But ad campaigns like Andy Martin's that I heard this morning on WGN make me wonder why anyone would ever want to associate themselves with such a hate-mongering, vile group of people.

Andy Martin, a perennial runner for...well...any political office (this time around the Senate race in Illinois), and the person that started 2008 rumors that Barack Obama was Muslim released a radio spot that had the following words:

"I helped expose many of Barack Obama's lies in 2008. Today, I am fighting for the facts about Mark Kirk. Illinois Republican leader Jack Roeser says there is a 'solid rumor that Kirk is a homosexual'. Roeser suggests that Kirk is part of a Republican Party homosexual club. Lake County Illinois Republican leader Ray True says Kirk has surrounded himself with homosexuals. Mark Kirk should tell Republican voters the truth." Text found on Huffington Post.

Shocked at both the vitriolic content of this message and the dumbass who SOLD AIR SPACE FOR THIS MESSAGE, I almost couldn't believe what I heard... until the announcer who was filling in for Greg Jarrett said something to the effect of "I am not allowed to comment on the political ads WGN runs, no matter how idiotic and vile they may be."

Well. Points to you, guy I can't remember. Bob Sirott, maybe?

In looking for information on this ridiculous political campaigning, I came across a newspiece on ChicagoBreakingNews.com that discusses how Andy Martin was not only "sanctioned in federal court for filing hundreds of lawsuits", but "found unfit to practice law by the Illinois Supreme Court".

I was ready this morning to boycott WGN and their Fox News-like support for the insanity of intolerance, but the article also gives WGN a small break by explaining that it is against federal communications law and FCC rules for political advertising to ban a particular ad.

I guess Freedom of Speech works for the crazytowns too, but jeez.

It's Like My Worlds of Awesome Have Collided to Make Me a SUPERWORLD!



This is a flashmob in a Roman shopping center for the release of Glee in Italy. I AM IN LOVE. Glee? Spontaneous public dancing? ITALY?? If they could have somehow thrown Twilight, Lee Pace and baked goods in there, I would have exploded.

Oh, and waited 3 months so I could have born witness in person.

This Is Wrong On So Many Levels.


This is the latest Michelin ad running on air right now. Can we discuss how wrong it is to have dancing roadkill? I don't care how cutesy you try to make the carnage, they're still dead animals. Why not make the guts pink and blue and glittery?

Anyone else catch the subtle "ghetto" influence of the "pre-Michelin" road? I was half expecting to see the raccoon dealing rocks to his flattened little homies.
