you fug us, you really fug us!

The Fuggers go to Canada! We'll get Perez any day now!

Bonus Fug

Deep down, buried beneath our hard, enraged, belt-hating exteriors, we have hearts of gold. We're softer than a golden retriever puppy. More agreeable than an heiress in a crack den.

So when MuchMusic.com asked us to participate in their ramp-up to the Much Music Video Music Awards by fugging a few people who showed up last year, we couldn't refuse.

After all, we are very fond of Canada. We know many great Canadians. We have a couple Canadian readers [raincoaster waves]. We are very sorry that Alanis Morrissette and Ryan Reynolds fulfilled our private predictions that they would never get married because they were engaged for too long, and that is a sure sign in Hollywood of cold feet. And despite the fact that one of us went to high school with someone who plays for the Carolina Hurricanes, we are rooting for Edmonton to continue its comeback in the Stanley Cup (last night's overtime win on a short-handed goal? Unbelievable) so that Canada can sit atop the NHL again the way we feel it should.

Ergo, in a sense, we're fugging for Canada; we're sharing it here because, basically, these four blurbs amount to some bonus fug for the day. So here you go, guys — this fug's for you.

 Unfortunately, the Muchers (not nearly as cool as the Kutchers) use the phrase "what in sam hell" in the intro. This cries out for fugnalysis, but as I am currently about to be booted from a public computer and supposed to be headed over to Pivot to do actual work for them, alas I am prevented from giving them what they deserved. As I was prevented, just yesterday, from giving Vicus the 1000 words of re-jiggered Keats he was just asking for. Yeats, Keats, and Bono: the three greatest poets in the history of civilizaton. But at least I laid the smackdown on the blond bombshell. 

Swedish Chef vs Lobsters

Yep, the smart money is always on the one that gets the Squid tag. But I didn't know they had lobsters in Mexico: live and learn.

TIAYou know you've entered the insane levels of the No Green M&Ms Concert Rider/spending most of the party in the bathroom with Nicole and Lindz celebutasticism when you check your stats at ten in the morning and are crushed – CRUSHED – to see you're only at 498 hits so far. And only #50 in the top 100 blogs on WordPress.

CRUSHED, I say!

 Meaning. Yeah, the meaning of all this is that cool science trumps sports, ourdoorsiness, and sex. At least, for those who spend their lives online; but is this exactly news?

Watch the World Cup on your computer

From BoingBoing. Seems, given the crap they've taken from some demented lawyerarchy, this is the least I can do.

Paul Boutin: how to watch FIFA World Cup live on your PC
Paul Boutin has written a tutorial that shows you how to watch the FIFA World Cup live on your PC. Link(Boing Boing would like to thank Baker & McKenzie, and their client, Infront Sports and Media for letting us know about the World Cup. Before receiving their letter, I didn't know what a World Cup was. Now, I do.)

VF, here he cums

From Gawker. Here's a work sample from the new editor of Vanity Fair online. Didn't I hear Atoosa Rubenstein's contract was up for grabs?
