30 Rock: “Cougars”

I’m extremely open to the idea of Cougars. I’m a broke 26-year-old guy in semi-decent shape, with a full head of a hair and libido to burn; hence I’d like to think I’m prime pickens for the growing population of Cougars out there who could shower me with gifts and treat me to expensive dinners.Unfortunately, [...]

Carson Daly First Late Nighter to Cross Picket Line

Most people read the above headline and think 1 of 3 things:
1. Wow, I can’t believe Carson is doing this. Way to sell out the writers and break with the other Late Night Shows. He must be related to that fellow scab Ellen somehow.
2. Wow, Carson Daly was on Strike? I’ve seen his crappy [...]

Ad Nauseam: This is my House Now!

I don’t know what it is about this commercial, but I love it. The old granny they cast is perfect when she pulls off her helmet, throws it down, starts adjusting the gloves and gravely proclaims, “this is my house now.” Someone replies “What!?!” and she forcefully yells back while pounding her chest “THIS IS [...]

Ad Nauseam: Shock and Awe

Sweet jeezus, nothing will prepare you for this Public Service Announcement. I was scanning Deadspin.com and they posted this same video and let me know it’s been running during CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada coverage this season. Honestly, do Canadians just look at our PSAs and think we’re complete pussies? Apparently for our neighbors to [...]

Video of the Day: Cum on Feel My Heartache

Over the weekend we lost the lead singer of Quiet Riot, Kevin DuBrow who died under mysterious circumstances. Although I’m not a big fan of the Riot, I was a huge fan of the song “Cum on Feel the Noize” because it’s just one of the great rock songs of all time. There’s something satisfying [...]

Ad Nauseam: Zune-”The Ballad of Tina Pink”

I’m personally torn by artists allowing corporations to use their songs to help them sell products. On the one hand it looks as if the band is completely selling out, turning themselves into corporate whores. On the other hand there have been many occasions where I hear a song on a commercial I probably wouldn’t [...]

Video of the Day: Porpoise Song

If you’re anything like me, you can’t decide whether or not you like your Monkees psychedelic or poppy. However, we can all agree that anytime you can find a song that’s the perfect soundtrack to Micky Dolenz being hurled off of a bridge, well then that’s a keeper.

Screenwriters of the World Unite…

The WGA has walked off the job, here’s your primer

It’s normal for people to regret decisions they made in the 80s. From junk bonds to hyper-color, from power suits to parents beating the crap out of each other over Cabbage Patch Dolls, America’s decade of excess was excessively error prone.
Despite the foibles and flights of [...]

Videos of the Day: English Heartbreak

For fans of the Three Lions, disappointment isn’t a passing fancy, it’s a perpetual state of being. With England’s “Golden Generation” suffering yet another setback in their pursuit of glory, a troubling pattern has emerged: these guys aren’t worthy of their formidable hype. Yes, England has Superstars, but lacks world-class players. Their failure to qualify [...]
