Just throwing that out there.

- Have you seen the College Republicans video. The hypocritical acorn doesnt fall far from the tree.

Today on the veg - CNN YouTube Debate questions

(tonight at 7:00pm EST)

- Ben Afleck switches from acting to directing, and it doesn't look half bad...Gone Baby Gone.
- I wasted a couple hours over the weekend playing this mindless little flash game...your turn.

- And George, Karl and Dick pay homage to the Gorillaz in a little rap number they call Feel Good

I know I'm starting to get repetetive, but this show is fucking great. How there's already talk of cancellation is beyond me, but there's definitely a totally love it or totally hate it vibe going on out there.

This week, John lets his true colors fly, once with grammy Rebecca DeMornay (when we realize there a little incest in the Yost fmily closet) and once in the motel parking lot (when my head exploded).

I've posted the entire text of John's parking lot monologue (courtesy of one of the HBO writers). If you don't watch the show, this will be complete gibberish. And if you do watch the show, this will be complete...

One last thing...the "Father" John keeps referring to is God, right? But isn't it too obvious? Couldn't purgatory really be another failed Dharma Initiative. And if the Father is God, they spilled it a little early in the game, didn't they?

PS: The corpse was a nice touch, right?

- Didn't there used to be a mechanical bull in that country place up on Lexington? Well, he's back.
- HBO has put up a fake site for the fake movie just shot on Entourage. Now enjoy the fake trailer.

- The Simpsons marketing machine is a mighty and massive thing. Now Crispin is getting involved.

Primate: n.
1) archpriest: a senior clergyman and dignitary
2) any order of animals including man, apes, monkeys, lemurs, etc.

Ummm...I'd think they were correct Bill.

You know, 10% of the time I actually agree with this dude. But then the other 90% I just think he's such an a'hole.

In this little slice of video gold, Bill compares DailyKos to nazis and the klan...what a dick.

With tomorrow night's All-Star game on many people's minds, I was reminded of a 2006 post concerning sports movies and the real-life players they portrayed. Take a look.

- Ok, Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha are coming back. But what about Deadwood?

- Money, money, money, money, money. Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex. Got your attention? It's First date.

Odd pairings abound as you walk through one of New York's most historic districts.

So what do we think...did Avril rip off some band called the Rubinoos?

She doesn't seem to think so.

- I recently watched all the Final Destination movies, but you can check out the best scenes here.
- I take my cuts of beef pretty seriously. How about you? How well do you know your cuts of beef?
- Red and Blue states may disagree on just about everything. But slowly, one cause is uniting us.
- Check out the new adventures of Mr. Bourne, or Robert Redford's take on the war on terror.
- And there are seven new wonders of the world. And can you believe, they didn't include Pops.

They can break out of prison, but I locked myself out twice last month.

If you're gonna read the greatest pop culture blog on the planet, you need to stay sharp.

Consider this your assignment for today, instead of doing anything productive.

I like when my stuff talks to me...when it comforts me, protects me, or tells me I'm being retarded.

I need that.

- The Live Earth concerts are this weekend. But with junior locked up on possession, who'll bring the weed?

- And Jon Stewart reports on Dick Cheney, a member of the executive, no legislative, no...oh go fuck yourself.

Remember when mom would make those cupcakes for you to take to school on your birthday? The Jellio Birthday Table is a fun reminder of those great childhood moments.

And really, how can you go wrong with a giant cupcake?

Three weeks since the blackout at Holsten's, and I wouldn't be thinking about the final episode if it weren't for an article I recently read, which explains in GREAT detail why David Chase was basically hitting us over the head with an eighteen wheeler full of bricks regarding Tony being whacked.

At this blog, we knew Tony was capped because of Bobby saying in an earlier episode how everything would just go black. But I thought the clues ended there. If you were a Sopranos fan, you have to read this article on all the clues Chase threw at us, including:

- The Last Supper
- The color orange
- A big cat
- The onion rings being the best in the state (can't believe I didn't realize that one)
- The way they ATE the onion rings
- Member's only guy
- The name, Journey
- A song about a lonely girl living in a lonely world (hello Widow Soprano)

...and that's just the beginning. Really great article. Check it out.

- For some reason, the press on those weiner-eating idiots is bigger than ever this year.

- Recently, Diesel put on a fashion show that included holographic fish...that's different.
- And...In that moment, Mr. Bush, you ceased to be the President of the United States.

- Some dramatic images from Scientific American illustrate what New York would look like with no more people.
- Which dramatic chipmunk moment do I like best...Porno, Darth Chipper, Kill Bill or Curses? So hard to decide.
- Coming soon...a video game where kids decide between wheatgrass and fried chicken. Welcome to Fatworld.
- The Simpsons Movie marketing machine never stops. Kwik-E Marts, plus you can make your own character.
- And the Daily Show looks at the emotional abuse suffered by our heroic leader...the one who lets felons walk.

Speaking of 20something guys, last month was my college reunion...one of the big ones, with a zero on the end. About 20 guys from my old fraternity (Fiji) came into the city to get lit before we all went up. Haven't had a night/morning like that in years. The reason being...the three comatose days after it.

Well, the other day, one of the guys sent an email around to all of us with some shots from the old house, documenting what happened to a few unlucky soles who passed out just a bit too early. (Probably the reason I loved Jolt soda back then)

Anyway, enjoy the snaps. This is how real men used to party, before any of this AA, you have a problem, nonsense.

Especially if your audience is male 20somethings (which I'm assuming is the case for the Toyota Scion). Not saying I'm against it...don't care, really...just stating the obvious.

The latest attempt by Scion to reach these UFC-watching, extreme sports-loving, men's body spray wearers is littledeviant.com. where it's your job, as a little deviant, to rid the world of the boring sheeple. And how do you do that? By beating the ever living crap out of them. Have to admit, it is fun. I spent twenty minutes on the site, and I may be a couple years outside the targt age.

Venus DeLibro - Call me crazy, but I think this would look cool in the right huge loft that I can't afford.

Miles Rug - At Jellio, we've been wanting to do something based on an AFX track for a while. So much for that.

Damned Lampshade - How can you not love this hovering mass of lifeless bodies, arms and legs twisted in fear as they fall into a pit of everlasting damnation? $46,200...shipping not included.

Ghosts...widows...orphans. And that's just the first page.

Here's two minutes of fun...Find all 25 design terms.

- In Homer Simpson's version of the Rapture, you get waterslides, exploding heads and Los Lobos.
- So if you want to videotape anything in NYC you'll need a permit? Yeh, that seems pretty fair.
- What do you mean, they buried Captain America? Doesn't he have a movie coming out soon?
- He's filming himself counting to one million, and he's getting sponsors? Why aren't we rich yet?
- And it's Rudy Guiliani, his dealer and his retarded expert taking a turn in the Clusterfuck chair.

That one had me rolling on the couch.

Have I mentioned I love this show.
