Two media giants combined forces today, promising to change our national film landscape forever. With the acquisition of Marvel Comics, Disney Corp has made a bold bid to incorporate popular superhero themes into its more traditional titles. Here is an exclusive sneak peak at some of its upcoming projects…
One of my new favorite toys is this online tool that allows you to indulge your wildest internet egocentricities. The tool seeks out your each and every Google-worthy act and unceremoniously dumps it into one of many pre-determined category bins, forever branding the nature of your service to the human race.
It’s so uncompromising and final… This pleases me.
As part of its continuing quest to inspire Random Acts of Collateral Patriotism, Fox News recently posted an interactive web map of the US-Mexico border. The map uses advanced satellite imagery and a state of the art news feed to track the advance of Subhuman Non-Citizen Parasites and their Malevolent Taco Stands.
I’ve had this clip saved on my DVR for forever and a half. However, my DVR player is an electronic Fort Knox from which nothing can ever be extracted. So, short of buying a DVD recorder, I did it ghetto-style by pointing a camcorder at the TV. Apologies in advance if I’ve offended your digital sensibilities…
I want you Meppers to know that this video was incredibly difficult to find. HBO has been on a censorship rampage in trying to shield Buck from the humiliation of having his first talk show railroaded by the longtime Howard Stern co-host.
This was amazing to see live. You could tell that Lange was at least half in the bag, and that Buck had neither the charm, nor skill to stop him. To be fair, Buck was a particularly useless talk show host. He isn’t witty, engaging, or even particularly interesting. He has a job because he inherited his father’s pipes. That’s about it. I don’t think we’ll be seeing him in Bob Costas’ seat again.
It’s really amazing that a Comedy Central spoof news show has amassed so much clout that they can now openly mock New York Times executives in the New York Times’ own house.
A National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) press release announced today that Geraldo Rivera will be inducted into its Hall of Fame next month.
This would be a very nice accolade if it weren’t for the fact that Geraldo Rivera founded the National Association of Hispanic Journalists.
In other news, the Moustached House of Douchebags Hall of Fame will announce this year’s inductees next week. Fingers crossed, Geraldo.
Once again, Ron Paul, deity of reasonability, is putting the swine flu mania into perspective. Yes, he tries to sneak in some subtle shots against ‘socialized medicine,’ but at least he’s not using a manufactured media panic for political capital.
A hearty congratulations are in order. Ashton Kutcher’s Twitter feed reached the pinnacle of uselessness this week when it became the first to garner 1,000,000 subscribers
Enjoy the pandering for Twit sign-ups as his mom/spouse, Demi Moore, scolds him for getting too worked up in his electioneering.
In narrowly beating out CNN to the million mark, Kutcher will now undoubtedly hold a virtual monopoly on the dissemination of Twit-centric retellings of mongoloid celebrity Punkings.
Earlier this week in front of his weekly board meeting in the San Diego office, AP chairman, Dean Singleton, cried foul.
In complaining about the unlicensed use of AP stories all over the blogosphere, Singleton actually conjured up the old Network tagline: “We’re mad as hell, and we’re not going to take it anymore!”
Well, let’s visit the original context of that quote for a moment…
