The Next James Bond?

November 13, 2008 – 11:42 am

Could this be him? A classic English smoothie of “a certain age” who’s more popular than ever thanks to the kind of spontaneous orgasm of fandom the world hasn’t seen since Beatlemania, he certainly looks the part on paper. As for whether he does the same in photos, well you can judge for yourself:

Operation Global Media Domination: Thank You, John McCain

November 5, 2008 – 2:06 am

Some people are grateful to him for serving his country in a time of war. Some people are grateful to him for the selflessness and courage he showed as a POW. Some people are grateful to him for the way he went to bat for military widows when their pension rights were threatened by Washington. [...]

October 29, 2008 – 6:46 am

Yeah, it makes so much sense. You knew he’d be old-skool, didn’t you?

Operation Global Media Domination: the Banksy Situation

September 27, 2008 – 10:13 pm

For as long as I can remember (which, at my age, admittedly isn’t very long, perhaps twenty minutes at a time and then I need to take my rememberer out and let it cool down for awhile) on this blog the #1 post in terms of hits, year after year, has been Britney Spears Sex [...]

Pearl Jam performs “Theme from HR Pufnstuf”

September 14, 2008 – 7:31 am

Okay, maybe not, but reeeeeeeally close. You KNOW deep down in your heart of hearts that Eddie Vedder knows all the damn words to this song, as do you.

And the words, in case you’ve had tee many martoonies. Because, as we said, we know and you know and Eddie Vedder knows [...]

The Atene Button goes dark

September 5, 2008 – 7:58 am

Sigh.

Oh, it’s not like it hasn’t happened before. And it’s not like I didn’t expect it to happen again. Actors are … actorish, and this is what they do. They’re like cats on the doorstep…I want in…I want out…I want in…but unlike cats, you can’t exactly stick your foot under their [...]

Boris Johnson’s Ping Pong Speech

August 25, 2008 – 8:41 am

Again I say: oh, Boris. Don’t ever change.
Boris Johnson, Mayor of London gives quite possibly the greatest Olympic speech ever made; quite certainly the most entertaining. But why didn’t he bring up Poodle Clipping? That was an Olympic sport!

“Virtually every single one of our international sports were either invented or codified [...]

Sex Sells

August 14, 2008 – 8:57 am

The question is, are you buying?
I forsee different target markets for these two fine celebrity products:
Oh Come All Ye Faithful indeed. As someone said, this is an historic occasion: the only time Clay Aiken has ever been on top of a box.
The artist’s statement:
I thought about what the average Claymate might appreciate and after careful [...]

Brian Atene: the backstory

August 9, 2008 – 2:50 am

This is his best yet, although it is entirely lacking in that trademark zany WTF-ness we’ve come to know and love (?). If you’ve ever wondered what was the point of Brian Atene, grab a bottle of Coppola Rosso and watch this. And not just because he namechecked me!
