Tomorrow marks 100 days since the BP oil spill in the gulf. I know they “successfully” capped it, but as long as that sucker is still leaking, I’m saying there is still an oil spill. But this disaster got me thinking a lot about the good old days of folk – when popular music regularly included anthems for a… Read More
So, M. Night got a little peeved at a reporter in Mexico for calling him a sell-out and a hack… or maybe his hackness came up first, then sell-out. Whatever, potato, poh-tah-toh.
His response is kind of hilarious. He leads off with, “If I thought like you, I’d kill myself.” Um… okay. He’s also understandably defensive about the reporter’s criticisms,… Read More
TechCrunch is serving as the arena for a humorously neurotic war of words between Team iPhone and Team EVO 4G. The average phone user will understand exactly none of the actual terminology that is used, but you don’t have to. These sketches adhere to the timeless credo that is the backbone of any proper feud: I’m smart and you’re dumb.… Read More
There is something so satisfying about seeing aging juggernaut Microsoft fail on its feet so badly. Introducing and ending the Kin – In just 48 short days we have seen an abysmal product (marketed heavily on top 40 radio around the nation) that you may or may not have heard of go from being… Read More

Holy teary sobfest. Maybe I’ve gone soft, but this show is amazing.
Here’s the skinny:
MTV has partnered with a youth outreach non-profit group called Challenge Day (challengday.org), that runs a 1-day workshop at schools all over the country, to encourage kids to start playing nice. After meeting a few of the kids, we go inside… Read More

In my latest stint of movie-going, I’ve noticed a distinct greater excitement at previews, sometimes more than the main feature. Multiple flicks, edited down into three minute bite size bits is often so far more exciting that by the time the opening credits roll, I’ve forgotten why I stepped inside the theater in the first place. So in honor… Read More

When I was in my formative high school days, going to the Warped Tour was a highlight of the summer. Just old enough to drive, we’d pile about 9 bros and skateboards into mom-duke’s Ford Exploder and drive at high speed to Fitchburg or some other pseudo-municipality in middle Massachusetts, blasting Rage Against The Machine and mooning other… Read More
The ascent of video game music in the past decade has been gamers’ ultimate wet dream. From YouTube’s six trillion versions of the Super Mario Bros theme song, to the entire Nerdcore movement, to Video Games Live, which sells out stadiums playing orchestral gamer themes – game soundtracks have become more popular, important and appreciated than movie soundtracks these days.… Read More

1. MOVIE Despicable Me
This is one strange film, especially for kids. I could quickly rip this apart as second rate Pixar (it borrows heavily from Monsters Inc.) but I found myself thoroughly entertained by Steve Carell’s adept villain with a heart portrayal, the adorable three moppets that change his life and more than anything, his yellow minions which… Read More

There is no way you read my post yesterday about the Old Spice Guy and didn’t immediately fall in love with him. But did you also fall in love with Isaiah Mustafa himself? Maybe not. But I am nothing if not a facilitator of internet awesome (new popten business card title, anyone?) so feast your eyes… Read More

Through all of recorded history, mankind has dreamed of larger wangs. From the well-endowed seven-day-sexaholic Enkidu in our first recorded story Gilgamesh, to the hundreds of characters brought to life by legendary thespian Ron Jeremy, society is obsessed with writing about dudes with larger and larger junk. Meekly-endowed men are portrayed as hapless schmoes who buy expensive cars and putt… Read More

Unless you have been living under a rock, you are quite familiar with the body (of work) of Isaiah Mustafa. Mustafa is a former wide-receiver in the NFL, and currently has a talent contract with NBC. He might be better known to you as The Old Spice Guy (heretofore known in this post as OSG). But just in… Read More
