Public Service Announcement

It's been quite some time since I've done a public service announcement, but I just randomly happened upon this, and people ought to know. I haven't really heard anything about it, but I figure you can't go too far wrong with Joss Whedon and Nathan Fillion. Here's the story. The first act is out on Tuesday.

How I Spent My Summer Vacation

Yeah, it's a lot like that. Courtesy of the Virginia Libel Show.

Too Awesome For Words

I'm pretty sure this is the reason why people invented the internet.

Malaysian Cars Suck

Apparently. This is pretty funny.

Update: Here's the video.

Who is the daddy now?

Serenity beat Star Wars to the title of best sci-fi movie,
R2-D2 move over

Bushbabies, Yum!!

I was also browsing the foreign policy blog, I find this more "politically" interesting. To see pictures of bushbabies, click here, now I am off cooking some dinner

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

See ya later, Rick.

The Voight-Kampff Test in Politics

Brilliant!

What to Do When the Bomb Goes Off

Go around the the corner. Someone on /. pointed this out. It does not appear to intentionally satirical. It's hard not to love DHS..

Snakes on a Plane

I don't know what's funnier: the concept and background of this movie, or the FARK thread it inspired. It's a heartwarming story, really, one of those rare moments when corporate America really gets it:

In any event, "Snakes"-ophiles already were hard at work. Chris Rohan of Bethesda, Md., created an elaborate, R-rated audio trailer that lovingly mocks the title and movie. "It's a genius title," Rohan said. "It's so stupid it's great. It invites satire, but it's something you just love. It's something I can't explain. You either get it or you don't."

The audio bit uses a Jackson sound-alike shouting, "I want these mother snakes off the mother plane!" Soon, the growing legion of fans added their voices as they demanded that that phrase also appear in the movie.

Apparently, the studio got the hint. When Ellis assembled Jackson and others for the recent shoot, the filmmakers added more gore, more death, more nudity, more snakes and more death scenes. And they shot a scene where Jackson does utter the line that fans have demanded.

This is going to be brilliant. I can just feel it...

What in the hell is 'fellatiary'?

I never realized a linguistics blog could be so entertaining.

Best Music Video Ever?

Oh my. I'm not sure if that tops the Total Eclipse video, but it's close...

Stylin' Like Saddam

Ths is weird, yet somehow predictable...

The Brick Testament

It never ceases to amaze me what people put on the internet. Brilliant.

The Shaving Vanguard

In other news that also leaves me a bit at a loss for words is this story from the razor industry. If ever there was a case of life imitating art... It's uncanny.

I Ain't Sayin' He's a Gold Digger...

So, first Kayne West made waves with his comments on NBC's Hurrican Relief program, concluding, famously, that George Bush doesn't care about black people. And now this. Hilarious. I may not particularly buy it as a political issue, but this stuff is pure gold. God bless 'em.

There's Sex In My Violence!

This makes me laugh.

The World is a Strange Place

CSM had a story on a website that translates foreign news stories to English. So, I went and checked it out. Reading through their stories I was quite taken by one "truth is stranger than fiction" story about an ancestor of our President, named (OF COURSE) George Bush.



Reverend Bush published a book in 1837 entitled The Life of Mohamed. It seems that some of our friends in the Muslim world have discovered this book and are none too pleased that the book, among other things, consistently refers to Mohamed as an imposter. Bizarre and meaningless, yet totally fascinating.

Poor Scott McClellan

This is a pretty funny transcript. My favorite part:

Q: Scott, this is ridiculous. The notion that you're going to stand before us, after having commented with that level of detail, and tell people watching this that somehow you've decided not to talk. You've got a public record out there. Do you stand by your remarks from that podium or not?

MCCLELLAN: I'm well aware, like you, of what was previously said. And I will be glad to talk about it at the appropriate time. The appropriate time is when the investigation...

Q: (inaudible) when it's appropriate and when it's inappropriate?

MCCLELLAN: If you'll let me finish.

Q: No, you're not finishing. You're not saying anything. You stood at that podium and said that Karl Rove was not involved. And now we find out that he spoke about Joseph Wilson's wife. So don't you owe the American public a fuller explanation. Was he involved or was he not? Because contrary to what you told the American people, he did indeed talk about his wife, didn't he?

MCCLELLAN: There will be a time to talk about this, but now is not the time to talk about it.

Q: Do you think people will accept that, what you're saying today?

MCCLELLAN: Again, I've responded to the question.

QUESTION: You're in a bad spot here, Scott... because after the investigation began -- after the criminal investigation was under way -- you said, October 10th, 2003, "I spoke with those individuals, Rove, Abrams and Libby. As I pointed out, those individuals assured me they were not involved in this," from that podium. That's after the criminal investigation began.

Now that Rove has essentially been caught red-handed peddling this information, all of a sudden you have respect for the sanctity of the criminal investigation?

MCCLELLAN: No, that's not a correct characterization. And I think you are well aware of that.....

And we want to be helpful so that they can get to the bottom of this. Because no one wants to get to the bottom of it more than the president of the United States.

It's gotta suck being a Bush press secretary...
