Yay!
11/30/2007 2:02:11 PM
Woo hoo! After being cancelled for two years, my favorite TV show, Futurama, is a back, on DVD and on Comedy Central. Starring -- a bunch of people, plus Al Gore, Sarah Silverman, Mark Hamill, and Coolio! For real. Because you can't keep a good show down, bitches!
Here are the first twelve parts of the new movie/show. 20th Century Fox is probably freaking out and removing them from YouTube, even as we speak. Enjoy!
Update: Yeah, the movie was deleted from Youtube. Figures. Here's the trailer instead. Bleh.

How We Go Out
11/30/2007 12:00:16 PM
The Midwest lady rapper I never knew about, Leslie Hall is an apparent webstar with a fondness for gold spandex jumpsuits and sparkly sweaters. When I first came upon her video for “How We Go Out” yesterday evening, I nearly had a heart attack. Filled with crazy-as-heck dance moves in typical suburban settings (inappropriate hip thrusts in the video store, for example), and lyrics like “we roll like a hummer or a full-size sedan.”
I have to admit…the video makes it difficult to look away. Hall is part of a musical group called Leslie and the LY’s and, according to an interview with Etsy, they “make outfits and then sing and dance about making outfits, being glamorous, and how if you wanna be a star you gotta go home and make your own clothes first.” Such efforts apparently lead to Hall dancing her gold-spandexed heart out in dance clubs, whilst surrounded by shirtless, scrawny boys. This upbeat tune has me all sorts of inspired to go home and make a sparkly tutu, and then go dance around the local Target, while shopping for stationery. Or something.

Vintage Daily Show
11/29/2007 4:06:08 PM
What with the writer's strike and such not, we're not getting any of that hot Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert action the way that we like. So I've been resorting to watching vintage "Daily Show" episodes online -- they have all 13,000 hours of the show available at www.thedailyshow.com. Which is good, in that it gives me my political satire fix. But which is bad, in that it gives me 13,000 hours of potential procrastinating to do
ANY-way, I've been using The Daily Show archive to take a little trip in the ol' wayback machine... all the way back to, say, November 7th, 2000. Do you remember what happened then? That was the day that a feisty little scamp named George W. Bush got elected President of these United States... sort of.
I remember where I was on November 7th, 2000. I was sitting in a bar in Bronxville, New York, with my friends Dan and Steve. We had planned on "having a few drinks" and watching the election returns. Nine hours later, we were all extremely drunk, and more than a little confused.
Anyway, here's some vintage Daily Show stuff. I love Jon Stewart's near nervous breakdown when he reports that only 225 votes separate the two candidates in Florida. I'm also fascinated by this view of vintage Al Gore, circa 2000. I have felt retroactively guilty ever since the election of 2000, because at the time, I was often heard to say stuff like, "Gore... Bush... Who gives a fuck? They're both the fucking same." Obviously, this was not the case. But the difference between 2007 Al Gore and 2000 Al Gore is simply staggering. Check out the below videos and gaze upon his lack of charisma! Marvel as he robotically mumbles his way through one of the greatest Constitutional crises of our time! Wonder if he even truly understands what the fuck is going on! And so forth...
So let's all ease back into our comfy chairs, and take a gander at the moment – taking place exactly seven years ago – when American history got f@#ked up real bad.

Cherry-Chocolate Rain, 15 Minutes of Fame
11/29/2007 3:18:17 PM
Amazing how the web can make you a “celebrity” overnight…I think Tay Zonday deserves his 15 minutes a little more than other folks (say, the WalMart masturbator, or the Williamsburg “herpes avenger”). Now Tay’s got a little more than fame…seems like he’s made a deal with Dr. Pepper, which has resulted in sexy backup dancers, a new video, and slightly revised song lyrics. Instead of “Chocolate Rain,” check out “Cherry-Chocolate Rain.” Thank goodness Tay’s still as oddball as ever:
Here’s his un-sponsored original, “Chocolate Rain.” Love the Yamaha, Tay:

A Little Bit of Tony Never Hurt Anybody
11/29/2007 2:35:05 PM
Crackle does DVR one better: they’ve created the “minisode,” wherein you can watch an entire half-hour sitcom in about five minutes. Sure, you miss some of the plot points, but don’t sitcoms generally employ the term “plot” rather loosely? You might be thinking: if a show is so shallow and pointless that 20-some minutes can be cut willy-nilly without losing a thing, why would I waste my time watching even the minisode?
Three words: Who’s. The. Boss.
With a bare-chested Tony and a tawdry Judith Light (plus some pre-teen Alyssa Milano), who doesn’t want to spend five minutes in eighties retro bliss?
Enjoy the “Sorority Sister” episode, mini-style:

Pick Up The Phone
11/28/2007 1:36:31 PM
Want a million dollars? Pick up the phone! The folks behind Waverly Films have really figured it out! They're the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes of YouTube.
Getting a MILLION dollars from picking up the phone is passe, though. I get billions regularly for answering my cell phone! LAME. Don't you just hate pyramid schemes?

Folgers Says: "You Can Sleep When You're Dead!"
11/27/2007 11:00:45 AM
Apparently Folgers doesn’t mind a little subversive advertising…as long as it’s on the web. Check out director/ad man Steve Ayson's latest commercial for the caffeinated beverage…
Not quite like what they did in the eighties, huh?

This Pussy's Got 'Tude!
11/26/2007 3:42:23 PM
So the Internet might be for porn, but it's also for crazy cat people. This guy who created the "Mean Kitty" series will not STFU about his pussy! And the Internets is eating it up.
Crazy? Maybe. But that Mean Kitty is also super cute. And much less passe than those pesky LOLCATS... K THNX BAI

Cyber Whatever
11/26/2007 2:46:26 PM
Did you know the Advertising Cabal decided that today is Cyber Monday? I know, it's bullshit! I've never heard anyone who isn't my grandma ever believe in such nonsense.
However, I still love buying shit, so I'll celebrate Cyber Monday anyways! I'm starting by joining the cult of World of Warcraft. Don't blame me! William Shatner and Mr. T made me do it:
OK, I'm off to go... cyber some more. As a Blood Elf. Hot.

Heidi's Off Her Knockers, I Mean, Rocker
11/26/2007 2:16:40 PM
In case you haven't seen it, the above clip features Ms. Klum making like a Fem-Bot on her titties.
What a great way to get out of a Thanksgiving weekend food coma! I know I'll have a new (perfectly spherical) image in my head for the next few hours. That Heidi is a card!
