They actually had the gall to call the new Anna Nicole Smith biopic “the most anticipated motion picture of the year.” If by “anticipated” you mean, will cause me to stick rusty ten-penny nails in my eyeballs if forced to watch it, then yea, I guess they’re right.

This is an oldie, but a goodie.  Sports Illustrated writer Rick Reilly had the opportunity of a lifetime… to take a flight in an F-14 Tomcat.  To say it didn’t go well is probably an understatement.  He knew he might be getting in over his head before takeoff:
I was worried about getting airsick, so […]

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later… those egos all competing for the same late night viewers.  It was bound to come to fisticuffs.  It finally did two nights ago.  Conan O’Brien, Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart came to blows over Mike Huckabee.  And we have it on video:

Way cool, spooky short film about a young man on a road trip who takes an unexpected detour through a small town… and the startling events that unfold. Run time is about nine pretty gripping minutes. “Still Life” was directed by John Knautz and starring Trevor Matthews.

Here is a follow up to the Fox News post I made about their ditty on Mass Effect.
The woman who was the head of that segment has apologized for misrepresentation.
 Here is an article from Kotaku.
Now, Fox News just needs to step up and take responsibility as well and this whole stupidity will be over.

Next to all the fun stuff I post here, I also feel the need to post more serious stuff, that borderlines stupidity and hypocrisy.
In 2003 ABC broadcasted an episode of NYPD Blue where they showed a woman’s butt.  Everyone flipped out apparently over this.  The “FCC on Friday determined that a woman’s naked backside is […]

Now, basically.  The one guy who was defending the game Mass Effect was the only person who understood what was really going on in the game.  I just finished one play through last night.  I must say, I have seen more […]

OK, so I was a day late (and so many dollars short), but TubaPants would like to wish the Smurfs happy 50th birthday.  Started by the Belgian artist Peyo, the Smurfs made their debut in comic strip form in 1958.

Ok, as you can see by the little countdown thingy over there on the right, we’re only a few days away from the (probably abbreviated) new season of LOST, and I gotta say I’m really starting to get excited. I mean, there have been good shows out there, but none that physically get my […]

Here is a great article about the release of the first two seasons of Sesame Street.

I wasn’t around for these opening seasons, but I know that I do not approve of the changes the show made from when I was a kid to now days.
