Operation Global Media Domination: the Craigslist Situation

CthiCthuaCthua

CthiCthuaCthua KNEEL DOWN AND WORSHIP, BITCHES!!

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the person who posted a link to my blog on Craigslist (and probably got the idea from Crasstalk, incidentally) thus resulting in a whole lotta Los Angeleses (Los Angelesians? Los Angelesii?) gaining exposure to raincoasterism, whether or not they’re ready for it.

And we can only pray for their very sanity.

I DON’T WHY PEOPLE KEEP BREEDING THIS SUPER BEAUTIFUL CHIHUAHUA DOG.

PEOPLE WANT THIS DOG SO MUCH AND ANIMAL SHELTERS ARE FULL OF THIS BEAUTIFUL CHIHUAHUA.

ALSO, ON CRAIGSLIST, THERE ARE MILLIONS OF CHIHUAHUA ADS BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT THIS DOG SO MUCH.

LMFAO

Whoever it was, I like his/her style.

UPDATE: Some Chihuahua-addled Woody Allen character has flagged the Craigslist post as abuse, and it’s been taken down. As you may be aware, we are ALL ABOUT THE CHIHUAHUA ABUSE around the ol’ raincoaster blog, and we suggest that people who get offended on behalf of fanged, trembly naked mole rat ALIENS that CAN’T even READ, PEOPLE need to eat more roughage.

Bar fight in R’lyeh!

Normally, Cthulhu and his family are charming hosts, but sometimes Junior gets into the nước mắm and the next thing you know the tentacles are flying! It’s hard enough making small talk when only half the guests are amphibious.

Cthulhu visits the Victorians en route to His voracious victory!

“How about them uppity natives, eh? Oh, I hear ya! I totally feel your pain, dude.”

The guest list included only the highest social stratum. Here’s this year’s hot couple posing happily just moments before the melee broke out.

I always thought he could do better, myself. I tried introducing him to some of those delightful Marsh women and their cousin, that Munn woman, but it was a no-go. And why? The girl is clearly talented.

and desperate. But then, many of us remember the last big family party, when she and her cousin Ralsa broke up the dance floor back in ’08.

Starwhackers, the Liveblog

Randy and Evi Quaid Mugshots

Randy and Evi Quaid Mugshots

Yes, I was at the world premiere of Randy and Evi Quaid‘s billed-as-docudrama-but-actually-comedy, “Starwhackers.” And it was…um…it was…unforgettable? Bizarre? Amateurish? Uninformative? Maddening?

Yeah, that.

So here is the transcribed-from-my-notes liveblog, several days after the fact. Protip: take a Gravol before watching this thing, it appears to have been shot on iPhones held by a caffeine junkie.

I will assume you’re familiar with the background: that the Quaids fled the US claiming they were being persecuted by so-called starwhackers, who kill important stars for the insurance money and also to keep the internet fed with drama (guys, trust me, the internet doesn’t need a new source of drama). The audience was palpably hoping that this film would explain the idea a bit better, but this movie is anything but linear and logical. There were no answers here. There weren’t even any coherent questions.

Click over the jump for the whole fiasco:

And you thought everyone hated MONDAY!

Emo News Network Presents!

Emo News Network Presents!

Yes, it’s that very special time on the blog: the time when we dump all our celebrity links for the day because we are too lazy/stressed/drunk/busy to do a real, proper 250 words for you. So hold your nose and swallow like a good little media consumer! YAY CELEBUTARDS!

Speaking of which, here’s an adorkable little video of children reacting to Rebecca Black‘s immortal musical meisterwerk, Friday.

Happy Birthday, Paul Rudd!

Give the man what he asks for: a cure for cancer!

“I know it’s the thought that counts, but…the money counts too!”

Normally, as you know, I am so NOT all about the self-conscious hipsters (apologies: I repeat myself) particularly those of ironic eyewear, but in this case I must give it up to Mister Paul Rudd, who suggests that on your birthday, you ask your friends to donate your age in dollars to the Cancer Society. Now, this may well bankrupt my friends, but you, according to Quantcast, are younger, and you should be doing this. I mean, if they spend that money on PBR you’re just gonna have a beer belly and a hangover to show for it the next day, right? Whereas fighting cancer provides a glow which makes one irresistable to the opposite sex (as several cancer fakers of my acquaintance know and have taken advantage of, and don’t worry, I’ve taken care of them in ways they don’t even know yet).

Am I ranting? Oh, let me rant. I beat cancer: I’m entitled to rant a bit. If you’re feeling ranty right along with me, here are some infuriating, medically-themed gossip links for you to read and ensure that your blood pressure remains elevated. If you get angry enough, it even counts as aerobic!
