Of Ahmadinejad Pie and little monsters...
So, the new Fall season is starting to swing into full effect, and there's a whole host of new shows, most of which are doomed to fail.
Someone thought that it'd be a good idea to re-do the bionic woman. I'm one million years old and I don't remember that fucking show. From the previews it looks pretty horrible. Is that par for the course or is it being taken down a notch? Do you care? Because i sure don't. That show, the Geico Caveman show called "Caveman" on ABC, Back to You starring Beast, that other medical drama starring that one ugly bitch that was on that other medical show about pretty people with pretty people problems... it's looking pretty fucking terrible out there.
One show i have yet to catch is Kid Nation on CBS. Kids try to make survival without adults in some crummy shanty town. Or something. I have a sneaking suspicion that it's supposed to be allegory for the situation in Iraq, and if we leave them to their own they would pull together and have to choose between television or an outhouse. Either that or this is just taking "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader" to an extreme level. I don't know, maybe i'm reading too much into this.
Spaghetti.
Not much to get excited about. Which leaves me waiting for the return of Battlestar Galactica, the continuation of Dr. Who (shut it), the return of Ghost Hunters (SHUT IT.), and of course The Office, Earl and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
What are you watching?
One last thing. If you visit celebrity gossip sites and don't visit What Would Tyler Durden Do, then you're doing it wrong. Here's an example of why.
I have no idea who this chick is, but she was drunk outside a club in LA last night and she has enormous boobs, making her the winner of the previously univented "Hero of the Day".
She narrowly beat out Santa and mathematician Leonhard Euler, who can go fuck himself. He thinks he's so great. I'll rot in hell before I ever call natural log base "e" the "Euler Number". I guess John Napier didn't discover "e" in 1614, right? Yeah, you tagged value 2.718281828459045 as "e" - 120 years later. Dipshit. God you are such an asshole.

When a problem needs a problem solver, guess who gets the call?
I have no coherent theme for this post, but i'm writing it anyhow. Continue at you're own risk.
Remember Winnie Cooper from the Wonder Years? She wrote a book about sucking. She turned out pretty hot.
Click here for my in depth legal analysis of the OJ Simpson case. Fine. It was a picture of a cake in the shape of a guy pulling open his bloody asshole. And it was a real cake. But for some reason the link now only goes to some porno site. So, i give you the mental picture instead.
I don't know if i'm amused by this video in part because of last nights "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" or because this is real talent.
Deputy's wife accused of videotaping sex with 16-year-old. This story is allegedly real, althought it reads like an Onion news story.
That's all for now kiddies. Go find something to bitch about on the nets then come back here and tell me where to find it.

What... like the back of a Volkswagen?
Stolen from Sand and Cotton which has nine other "mash ups" of old cartoons with new voice overs.
This is my favorite: Superfriends/Mallrats.
It works out surprisingly well. Ben Affleck seems to foreshadow his role in Hollywoodland of Superman. It's kind of fantastic.

...if you work in television, you're a fucking liar
Electric Six - I Shall Exterminate Everything Around Me That Restricts Me From Being The Master
Okay, i'm totally copying and pasting this from their myspace page. I realize, recognize and approve of this. But, having gotten my filthy digits on an advanced copy of this album, i thought i'd offer some pre-release hype.
This is the album that will mend all open wounds. I promise you the following: if you put this album on in a hospital, all within earshot will be cured. I think they should guarantee that in the liner notes somewhere, for i feel it will be true. If you put this album on for world leaders Palestine and Israel will come to a peaceful understanding, Iraq will unite behind a common government, Vladimir Putin will be at peace with is manly good looks, New Zealand will love Australia, bloggers and girls will finally meet.
It's that fantastic. Although I'm thoroughly amused by their description of their first single. Because, well, just read it, and in a few weeks when you buy the album at Record Time click back on this, then listen to the song, and read their analysis of the song. You'll laugh.
The title of Electric Six’s fourth album, I Shall Exterminate Everything Around Me That Restricts Me From Being The Master, is borrowed from a drawing by an artist named George Grosz. The drawing portrays the gluttony and excess of Berlin in the interwar period.
Now, Electric Six has never been to Berlin, and will never live in an “interwar period” as war is now everywhere and totally going to keep going for a really long while.. But we know a thing or two about excess. Excessive compulsive fans plague us. Excessive mean-spirited journalists write an excess of mean things about us. Excess baggage enters our hotel rooms. And the time has come to do something excessive about it.
Electric Six has plenty of access to excess. Upon embarking on this recording journey, Electric Six had an excess of free time. We purchased an excess of foodstuffs from Trader Joe’s and hunkered down and recorded…..excessively.
The album is excessive in its exploration of excess. Every song in one way or another is the result of excessive access to excess. The jazzy cabaret-ish album opener “It’s Showtime! “ explores what happens to a band when it plays in excess of 250 shows a year in front of…..people. Here’s a hint: excessive resent and anger at…...people. It is followed by the piano-raga grooviness of “Down at McDonnellzzzzz” a real time documentation of the erosion of American youth culture at the hands of excess trans fats and supersized shareholder profits at the expense of excessive burgers.
The album is heretofore and previously referred to as “The Album” since the title, I Shall Exterminate Everything Around Me That Restricts Me From Being The Master, is, in and of itself…..excessive.
The anchor track of the album is the radio-ready Coldplayish “When I Get To The Green Building” , a beautifully textured musical tribute to Domino’s Farms in Ann Arbor, Michigan. How is this excessive you ask? See what happens to you when you sell that many pizzas! You’d probably think you have a hotline to God too! And that’s the sort of thing we in Electric Six deem….a tad excessive.
The album closes with a triumphant new wave/stoner rock big bang in the magnificent “Dirty Looks” , an exploration of the “big picture” in three parts. The most Shakespearian of the E6 catalogue, the album of excess closes in such an accessible way.
When it’s all said and done, Electric Six feels that they’ve done a good job at weaving fun, good times and high-octane pleasure into the fabric of this crazy world, damned by its excess. At 16 songs, the album is Electric Six’s most excessive in terms of number of songs. The band rehearses excessively and will take its act on the road in the fall of 2007 on the It’s Showtime! Tour coming to an American town near you….that is, if you haven’t already been crushed by the weight of your own access.
I Shall Exterminate Everything Around Me That Restricts Me From Being The Master will be released by Metropolis Records on Oct. 9, 2007.
Tracklisting:
1.It’s Showtime!
2.Down at McDonnellzzzzz
3.Dance Pattern

Of theft, hypocrites and unoriginal irony
Do you feel that? The internet is picking up speed. It's subtle, but more and more people are becoming aware of how immediate this little acorn has become. And they're responding by flooding it with more crap.
First you had the kid doing the Britney meltdown. It hits the web.
Then you had the political spoof.
Then Jimmy Kimmel makes fun of it.
Then the French.
to the point where Seth Green's spoof of the meltdown defending the original meltdown is boring.
Stuff gets trendy fast. Jagerbombs is to sorority whores as the internet is to redundancy. There is nothing new on the internet. Everything is pilfered from somewhere. Whether it's that new Foo Fighters album, or the vintage porn or your witty jokes about soliciting gay sex in a bathroom, it all exists somewhere already. Whether you know it or not. The only way to have something truly original is to create something fantastic. And then you wait for the rip off.
It's inevitable. It's what happens when an acorn sprouts. And i guess i'm trying to justify why my last few posts have been purely embedded video.
Move on.

WHO REGULATES THE INTERNET?
What the hell Myspace, I can't find a sweet pic on the internet and load it up as my awesome profile image for all to see? Sure it'd only be funny for like ....a day or something but this is lame.
Seriously, who'd be offended by this?
Like you can't see shit like this on your drive to work or school everyday (minus the action figures, of course). But kudos to whoever is in charge of blocking content, you sure did reject it fast. Whatever Fox is paying this guy/gal/hermi/transgender person, it's not enough for that lightning speed slap down. It should have gotten through just to challenge Tom to "un-friend" me.
Now if you'll excuse me I've gotta go to the frame shop for my new wall art.

Armen pointed this out to me, and i felt the need to share.
What we have here, at an alleged MTV Music Awards event (although i'm fairly certain not aired during) is the Foo Fighters being fronted by Serj from System looking like Frank Zappa, doing a Dead Kennedy's song. (MTV's embed sucks, so u get link, but it's totally worth it.)
I wonder how many fuck-tards in the audience have any idea what they're listening to.
teh orginal.
