via BoingBoing. Jack Black, international rock god, movie idol, and philosopher, wants to stamp out piracy, and he’s sending us this message in the form of an embeddable YouTube vid with a copyright notice and the cover of his latest album one sheet for his new Tenacious D movie. Hmmmmmm…
You can’t lie to my Georgie and get away with it, nosir! Think Progress, via Fark, busts Bush‘s big lie wide open, with footnotes, video, a transcript, and a timeline.
George R. Stephanopoulos pwns George W. Bush.
STEPHANOPOULOS: James Baker says that he’s looking for something between “cut and run” and “stay the course.”
BUSH: Well, hey, listen, we’ve never been “stay the course,” George. We have been — we will complete the mission, we will do our job, and help achieve the goal, but we’re constantly adjusting to tactics. Constantly.
If not to reality.
No, seriously. You can look it up: god hates shrimp.
In yet another aberrational moment, I am using a link someone posted in the comments section here, instead of something I stole mine own self off Gawker or Fark, as is the usual procedure ’round these parts.
It’s because I’m out of coffee; that would account for almost any aberrational behaviour on my part. I haven’t gone coffeeless in a number of decades, ever since the disastrous Inka experiment of ’86.
I’m assuming the link-dropper is also out of coffee, or perhaps in that blogger’s case herbal tea, as they requested specifically that I delete the comment they had just made.
And here I thought I was self-sabotaging!
Perhaps they fear the wrath of Cthulhu! In any case, here is the go-to site for all you shrimp-hating gods. I am interested to note that it informs me of a recently-overturned ban on shrimp-eating in Massachusetts and San Francisco. It appears that Christian fundamentalists there are now going to have to brave the risks of accidental apostology when consuming the jambalaya.
Play it safe, people: order the calamari!
We call upon all Christians to join the crusade against Long John Silver’s and Red Lobster. Yea, even Popeye’s shall be cleansed. The name of Bubba shall be anathema. We must stop the unbelievers from destroying the sanctity of our restaurants.
The title I stole from Guido Fawkes, as I also stole the invitation below; a more missable evening of patronizing “entertainment” and ugly bridesmaid shoes I have never seen. This is what the Brits think will engage women voters and have them rushing the polling places like they were selling Manolos at half price! If you vote Green, do you get 10% off Birkenstocks?
However…
This is what Gawker unearthed today, and it shows the Americans to be equally stereotypical, issue-free, and patronizing.
Seriously, I think I need a girl drink…
