Trojan Assplosion: insert obscure classical reference here

The Trojan nuclear reactor cooling tower on the Hood River in Oregon goes down. Just like it was aspozed to.

Just a note; isn't it odd that the screaming doesn't start until they hear the big BOOM, several seconds after they see the explosion? I wonder what that means…

YouPrez: A Challenge to the Blogosphere

Isn't this a Hugh Grant movie? YouTube has announced YouPrez; make a platform for your own presidential campaign, film a PSA/commercial for it, and post it on YouTube. Tag it "Youprez" and votes will be cast. I dunno what you get if you win…maybe Puerto Rico? Could be worse; have you ever been to Guam?

Ten Things I H8 About Commandments

Via Boingboing. And with Samuel L. Jackson and Sinead O'Conner. And I'm not sure, but I think there's a reference to Lohan in there, right at the very end.

Secret Identity Revealed!!!

NOT mine, fools! Mr. Defamer’s!

That’s Mr. Defamer, mascot of Gawker Media’s famed Defamer. I thought for the longest time that it was Bob Evans, now-geriatric poster boy for Hollywood excess, workoholism, and assoholism. Then one day Defamer got a makeover and suddenly (as happens so often in these cases) I saw it in a different light. I realized that this man, whoever he was, was no more Bob Evans than he was Bob Roberts.

So I conducted an investigation, involving gruelling seconds of emailing the editor at Defamer and asking, “so who’s that guy, Mr. Defamer Guy?” After many a long minute of uncertainty, I had my answer.

from Mark Lisanti to me

Mr Defamer is Charles Boyer. God, I wish we’d used Evans. Maybe we’ll
switch him in one day.

And there you have it.
