Aniston/Jolie Star Wars

Posted on by

This pic says it all, really. The Aniston/Jolie star wars are what originally drove me off VanityFair’s forum…not just once, not just twice, but fully three times. If the Team Aniston/Team Jolie throng resurface again for yet another death match I’m just gonna suggest they take it to meatspace. Or, given my assumptions about vast hordes of women with far too much time on their hands, an overidentification with celebutards, and a propensity to take other people’s marriage problems far, far too personally, let’s call it “lardspace” instead.

If you can watch this and still not understand why I love this band, you must be deaf or stupid. And I don’t talk to deaf or stupid people. Why? Because deaf people can’t hear me, that’s why, stupid!

But I want to know who the people in this audience were and how I get to be one of them next time.

I’ve got a fair number of friends who are more musically inclined and musically sophisticated than I am, but I stumbled across this all mine own self (well, I found it on Taylor is the Boogie mine own self, well with the help of WordPress Hot Posts), so I feel very proud. This is worthy of going up against the best.

UPDATE: and fuck Universal Music Group, who took down the video. If they cared enough about their artists to read the comments, they’d see this video sold them an album. And now they have two official versions, embedding disabled on both. Why? Because you want your artists to be less widely known and less popular? Perfect strategy, guys.

I’m addicted to this man. He could film a bloody sock puppet video, drunk, and it would be the early–Warholian apotheosis of sock puppet videography. Here’s his video for sunlightsquare‘s song Dub O Matic.

Dudley did right!Viva Canuckistan!

Yes, it’s our fault that Paul McCartney is divorcing Heather Mills. Specifically, it’s the fault of the Federal Fisheries Minister, Loyola Hearn. At least he has the whatever-fish-have-instead-of-balls to take responsibility; he also fesses up to having been behind the Pamela Anderson/Kid Rock re-uptuals.

CBC has the report:

Federal Fisheries Minister Loyola Hearn said he and fellow Newfoundlander Danny Williams helped take the shine off the former Beatle’s relationship with Heather Mills. So how did a couple of East Coasters manage to orchestrate such a stunning marital meltdown?

Hearn said it all started with McCartney‘s famous appearance last spring on the “Larry King Live” CNN show. McCartney, an animal rights activist, was debating Williams, the Newfoundland and Labrador premier, on the merits of the seal hunt.

Hearn said McCartney showed respect for the points Williams made in defence of the hunt, but his wife – apparently a more zealous anti-sealing activist – was “not so gracious…”

Of course, it hasn’t been all bad news for anti-sealing celebrities. Hearn noted that Pamela Anderson got hitched – to musician Kid Rock – after protesting the seal hunt.

You can imagine our pride…
