Late Night Throwdown

Posted by Gary on February 6th, 2008

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: It started unraveling on [...]

Posted by Joe on January 27th, 2008

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 [...]

We need more babysitting in government

Posted by Joe on January 27th, 2008

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 [...]

Watch out parents, your kid….

Posted by Joe on January 24th, 2008

is playing a…. SEXBOX! oh my! Fox News once again, proves that it is full of it. 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 [...]

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 heart [...]

Old School Sesame Street not suitable…

Posted by Joe on November 20th, 2007

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. Technorati Tags: Sesame Street
