ad hoc.

I’ve gone on record saying that horses scare the bejeezus out of me, but this is such a gross display of disregard for animals I’ve heard about in a long time. Maybe the euthenasia was what was best for the moment, but WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU USING HORSES for entertainment to begin with? Animals are not put here for the sole purpose of entertaining us and making money for us. And if I read anything lauding this horse as a hero for the game, I’m gonna go postal.

I feel like joining the ALF toute suite.

But seriously, Chris is the official PBS blogger. Put that in your rss feeds, bitches.

And the movie section profiles how Hollywood is trying to make so-called chick flicks marketable to men. How about they stop making utter and complete shit?

Are these the meanest girls or the dumbest girls?

I also got the new Ladytron album. Suck on THAT!

Jezebel has been making LOLlosts, which have also made my day.

I can’t help but be perterbed. I think Gawker got a scoop from my blog about a posted item. Ok, that’s cool, but maybe give me a little credit? I posted this the other day, and some of the reader discussion identified who the actress was, and then this pops up on Gawker. Coincidence? Maybe. But I don’t think this was huge news going all around the internet. Thankfully someone posted a link in the comments to The DB, which helped my stats. I shouldn’t be grumpy about it, I keep telling myself that I write the DB for me, but I would jump at the chance to have it linked from somewhere like Gawker to get more readership. Because that is what keeps me motivated to keep writing it, if I know lots are reading. Grumble grumble.

Oh, I also realized that every episode of South Park ever can be watched for free off the official site.  I’m never leaving my house again. Also, matt Stone is my new husband.

Seriously, first it was the schoolboy cafes, now it is cat cafes, where you can hang out with cats. I’m buying a plane ticket right now.

South Park is a really good show. Does anyone actually watch it anymore? I’m randomly watching Season 4 and laughing my ass off.

Northern California weather is March is fucking heaven. It makes my whole move across the country thing worth it. Almost.

The new Raconteurs album is really freaking good. You know why? It sounds like a White Stripes album.

God, I love Radar magazine. They countdown the most misogynist movies ever.

Origin of the Species: How Gay tv characters evolve.

Elliot Spitzer hooker is the new face of feminism…somehow.

As if I couldn’t hate ScarJo enough…now I see the obnoxious promo pics she has done for her even more obnox album.

What? JPod was made into a show?

The Fail Blog.

Song chart meme.

Example:

I found this random site where someone manipulated Garfield comics to leave out Garfield. The result? A damn creepy story about a paranoid schizophrenic.

Stuff White People Like

someone who feels the same way I do about Juno. It is hard to find, considering people are falling all over themselves about it.

The shortest teaser trailer? My god, this is gonna blow.

Other tidbits:

You know why I am jealous of inmates? Some get really good vegetarian meals.

I promise that this isn’t about Dark Knight…but it is a cool retrospective of The Joker.

Finally Spin gets something right..”Stronger” is the song of the year. I want a Daft Punk outfit, like right now.

I could watch this on a loop all day.

Arrested Devo the movie? Maybe just let it die. Remember what happened with the Strangers With Candy movie?

Minor Threat…the condiment?

Planet Hiltron: John, this may even put your photoshopping skills to shame.

Retail sales were down a lot this year, and the news coverage treats it with as much fear as global warming. Shouldn’t this be good news? That people are realizing that they arew trillions of dollars in debt or that theit kids need their love and attention and not a new Wii?

Well, Pitchfork picked its top 50 albums. No big surprises. LCD soundsystem and Panda Bear as their top albums? Yeech.

I just got a copy of the new Nada Surf album that will be released in 2008. I’m in shock. Haven’t listened yet.

Believe it or else, I may have already found my top album of 2008. It’s Sons and Daughters new album, The Gift. Brilliant.

Dr. Tobias Funke may make an appearance on Scrubs. Maybe as an “analrapist”? That’s a combination of analyst and therapist, you sickos.

I was previously ignoring the fact that this movie even existed, but can you believe this is the voice of Simon?

The Dark Knight trailer leaked. When I watched it, something else leaked. My god, I talk about this movie a lot. Last time I babbled on about a movie coming out so much is was Brokeback Mt. Both starring Heath Ledger. What does that mean? Absolutely nothing.

Just an adendum to my thoughts of BSG:R: the dvd is worth renting/seeing. The extended version has some pretty kick-ass scenes not shown when it aired on tv, including a freking kick ass scene where young Adama battles an old skool Cylon in mid-air.

Also, Seth Rogan is GQ’s man of the year.

Also, I worship Alex Blagg.

Also, Lily Allen is way cool.

First things first…how awful is the SATC movie trailer? I can’t bring myself to watch. Please let me know how horrid it is. [youtube link]

Um…uh…I need to be alone for a minute.

Hope everybody has a great holiday, celebrating the mass genocide Native Americans. And chomping on dead turkeys that who were innocently slaughtered for the sake of a cliches American tradition.  In celebration, here’s an anorexic’s guide to Thanksgiving.

Also, indie rock is destroying America! And America is also suffering because we don’t have a Barbie entertainment theme store. In my dream! Finally, old-school Sesame Street not suitable for today’s children. Kickass!

because it’s Spice Girls week over at Andrew’s blog.

Also, RIP Ira Levin.

Never fails to crack my stuff up.

WASHINGTON, DC—According to employees at the nonprofit organization Refugees International, each of the four new fall interns has been trying to impress the staff by being the first to solve the refugee crisis in Burma before their internships end in December.

“I don’t mind them attempting to levy sanctions against the Burmese junta or coordinate humanitarian airlifts to the oppressed Karen people on their own time, but we really need them to keep the copier full of paper and ensure we have enough pens,” said the organization’s director, Greg Davidson.

“Besides, solving refugee crises is really the responsibility of paid staffers.” Davidson added that his idea of a model intern is 20-year-old Dartmouth senior Sarah Frazier, who is quiet during staff meetings, shows little outward ambition, and is pretty.

I don’t know why I find so much humor in this guys blog. It’s like blogging isn’t for geeks anymore, it’s for complaining about how beautiful you are and how fabulous you are, and how exhausting that is! I am definately going to check it regulary to make sure his tanning session worked for the next big shoot. I am really worried.

I got the new Raveonettes album and squeeing with delight. Sounds exactly like what you would expect from them, which is awesome.
