Here is a snippet from the memo Matt Stone sent the MPAA censors regarding the breakthrough cinematic work Team America, World Police South Park: The Movie. I am sure they were as delighted to receive it as Stone was to send it.
Not!
Via Boingboing and The Hot Blog. God, wouldn't it be lovely to make any movie you wanted and then send memos like that to professional prunes? Almost worth putting up with Hollywood.
Even when I am operating without benefit of electricity I still get 600 hits! Awesome, let's see Graydon Carter match that! Sure, he'd win the plaid pants modeling contest, but will that get you hits? Not unless they can do something A) orgasmic and upload the video or B) amusing with Diet Coke and Mentos.
In related news I note with some pride that ten people found their way to this blog the other day by googling "Self-aggrandizement." No idea why it led here…
You 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?
So yesterday my power goes out at 2pm, just as I am seeding the Bullshit Jobs post with lovely linkies. It's still out. So, for yesterday raincoaster had precisely one, count 'em, ONE post.
And the record for the highest number of hits in one day.
So, let me see if I get this: unless I am posting about Michael Sandecki and Clay Aiken, Mentos and Diet Coke, or Orgasm Videos, you basically don't want to hear from me. Okay, fine. Be that way. See if I care.
Just you wait, your rejection will turn me back towards the Squid. You'll be sorry.
My thanks to the professedly swaggering hetero Frontier Editor for the following, which I heartlessly stole from his blog. There are those for whom innuendo is not enough, and it is for them that some twisted soul made the following Star Trek slash vid. If you have to ask which characters, you know less about both Star Trek and slash than you should to be wandering around on your own out here in the blogosphere. Please go on to your choice of World of Warcraft or Guildwars and hire a guide.
