I do not “do” the Twitter. I don’t lead, or follow, or Twit, or Twat in 140 characters or less. In fact, I generally think of the service as nothing more than yet ANOTHER venue (first came “pop culture” blogging) for jobless vainglorious idiots to express their pathetic existences (with some notable exceptions).

How much does James Cameron ride George Lucas’ dick? Only enough to base an entire movie, Avatar, on the final battle sequence from the last good film in the Star Wars franchise, Return of the Jedi. Each film has its ragtag band of native creatures, each film pits basic bush weaponry against mechanized slaughter machines, each film has… Read More

Watch the popten exclusive real video story of Santa Claus. To keep with the times and provide the nicest toys, Santa was forced earn money by promoting everything from Coke-Cola to M&M’s. His unlimited supply of soda and sweets made him fatter and fatter. When his doctor told him he has type two diabetes, Santa couldn’t stop… Read More

Just in case you’ve been out of touch or don’t have any funny friends (I got emailed this link by three people) you need to know that WitStream exists.

I just had the pleasure of watching The Guild seasons 1 and 2 on a sweet two-disc set. I remember watching season 1 on the internet when it came out a couple of years ago. But I must say this show is definitely best when packaged together on one DVD. While each season is… Read More

I had the pleasure of watching the dress rehearsal for Robert Cary and Benjamin Feldman’s new play Inventing Avi (and other theatrical maneuvers). It was side splitting funny. The play, which is directed by Mark Waldrop, tells the behind the scenes story of how duplicitous people will be to make it in theater. The cast is hysterical… Read More
The best 2.0′d comic strip since Garfield Minus Garfield. I love me some Bukowski, and I can’t think of a better mash-up for his talents.
This opens up a whole world of comic mash-ups I’d like to see. Cartoonists take note! (And please add some in the comments, folks…)

Anyone been spending time looking around at all your friends and maybe getting a little jealous of decisions they made and you skipped? Like Michael Jackson used to say… You are not alone.
Nick Baily – my brother and occasional contributor to POPTEN sent this to me last night… super timely and… Read More

Thank you Mr. Onion for making me laugh for so many years. This fake news is priceless. (Disclaimer: Theodore Barrett, the Former White House Press Secretary is my dear cousin Jay Potter. So my opinion is completely biased.) But you should watch this and draw your own conclusions about its hilarity.
Another lollerific adventure from Cracked. I only wish they’d included LotR’s five-minute solution- flying the ring to Mt.Doom on the eagles. Still, many of these are pretty priceless.
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… 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… Read More
