This one's dedicated to by good friend Joe - today from DotComedy, The FaceBook song...
"Happy Fun Ball" is one of my favorite Saturday Night Live commercial parodies. After doing some reading of actual drug warning labels, I realized this sketch wasn't much of a stretch.
• "Gas with oily spotting, loose stools, and more frequent stools that may be hard to control."
• "[In a small number of people] your skin and the whites of your eyes turn yellow."
• "Serious risks include decreased sweating."
I posted this quiz over at mental_floss: The Not-So-Fine Print: Popular Drugs, Ominous Labels. Match the drug to the safety information on its warning label. Are you taking the drug that might cause hard-to-control defecation? Better test your knowledge of possible side effects.
I really don't know what to say about this, except... audio NSFW.

From my favorite celebrity blog, World of Wonder, come this image of Madonna leaving Claridges Hotel in London, which is a pretty swanky place. Behind her walks hubby Guy Ritchie, with a particularly strange gait to his step, almost as if he's feeling a little - squishy....
Closer inspection of the bag that Madge is carrying reveals the reason why that may be the case... (possible NSFW)
On a sad anniversary in New York, an uplifting tale from Yankee Stadium that shows the true spirit of the city.
"King of California" ** (out of four): Winking story of a mentally ill father on a quest for lost gold in southern California with his reluctant daughter isn't quite as cute as it thinks it is.

Watching "King of California" - the debut film from writer-director Mike Cahill - it helps to be familiar with the term "movie crazy". No, I'm not talking about someone who's crazy about movies (like, say, myself). "Movie crazy" is a type of mental deficiency shown in films where the lead character - in this case Michael Douglas' criminally delinquent absentee father - has lost his grip on reality but, really, he understands it so much better than the rest of us slaves to sanity. If only we could see the world the way he does, we'd be so much more enlightened. It's been known to work (in films like "Being There" and "Harvey"), but more often than not it's played to the affected hilt ("I Am Sam", "Nell", "Reign Over Me"). "King of California" is somewhere in between. It's not a bad character piece; it just isn't as cute as it thinks it is.
- Not the funniest video I've seen, but it's got Bill Murray and Mel, so I'm in.
- Then again, even Carl Spackler gets beat by a rocket straight to the nuts.
- I'll take two boston creme...four glazed...oh, and a pepperoni and anchovy.
- Love that Nike ad music, but I couldn't place where I knew it from, until now.
- And the Ironman trailer is out. Remind me...who's this Bat guy person, again?
