Know What You?re Jumping Into (80s PSA)
2007-11-01 13:15:00 Has anyone noticed how poorly PSAs hold up over time? The Mrs and I were checking out some Anti-drug PSAs from the 80s and 90s and for the most part they simply show how unfamiliar they are with the subject. Remember this one?

I Think The Steroids Have Shrunk His Brain?
2007-10-31 17:15:00 Wrestlers have never been well know for their vocal eloquence but Lex Luger takes the cake here with a little wardrobe malfunction of his own. Share This More About: Video , Humor , Steroids , Brain
F is for Fake
2007-10-31 08:09:00 Words could not describe how appalled I am of the current fake FEMA Press Conference last week. There have been talks of someone at FEMA being reprimanded. One? Just one? At this point I would dissolve FEMA as a whole and start from scratch. FEMA has showed they are incompetent in Katrina and fraudulent in ... More About: Politics , Rants , Fraud , Fake
Heroes - ?Fight or Flight? Season 2 Review
2007-10-31 05:02:00 Wow. That’s what the show needed. A big fat shitty dose of Veronica Mars. Am I the only person who can’t stand Kristin Bell based on the fiber of her being. Not to sound like a dick, though I am, but we already have enough attractive blonde chicks on the show thank you. Is ... More About: Heroes , Review , Fight , Season , Flight
Heroes - ?The Kindness of Strangers? Season 2 Review
2007-10-31 04:23:00 So lately I’ve been a bit behind in my Heroes recaps. I’ll catch up on that ASAP. The Kindness of Strangers has Monica showing her new power, and I have to say I like the power she has (it opens a lot of doors) but I don’t know how much more of this "God gave ...

That?s one Haunted House!
2007-10-30 13:15:00 I haven’t really been to a haunted house since I was in the single digits, and I think the only reason I found it ’scary’ was that it was full of guys a few years older than me who wanted to kick my ass. I remember coming out with bruises all over. This ‘haunted house’ looks ... More About: Video , House , New Orleans , Misc , Halloween
Gotta love AT&T?
2007-10-29 13:15:00 I wish I could say this is the first time I have seen or heard such a lack of compassion from a corporation. Don’t even get me started on Rogers… Share This More About: Video , Love , California , Misc , Fire
This Isn?t Funny!!!
2007-10-29 04:23:00 You could drag out the 300 jokes for a whole episode of Robot Chicken and I don’t think it would get stale… and Two And a Half Men sucks. div#main{overflow:visible;} Share This More About: Video , Funny , Humor , Cartoon Network , Adult Swim

Xbox 360: Shadowrun Review
2007-10-26 00:57:00 I know this is a silly habit of mine but I like to set it out at the very beginning where I stand on a particular franchise before I proceed to praise it or tear it to bits. I think that Shadowrun was one of the best games to have ever been released on the ... More About: Gaming , Reviews , Xbox , Review , Xbox 360
HG Wells was on to Something?
2007-10-25 18:30:00 The Mrs. directed me to an article on the BBC titled "Human species ‘may split in two’". I personally find it sketchy how a evolutionary theorist can pose a valid theory looking that far into the future without looking into factors like viral outbreaks, global natural disasters, and space exploration, not to mention the ...

Ok, so Who Else Died?
2007-10-25 09:33:00 Watching John Stamos intoxicated on an Australia n Talk Show is just plain depressing… and funny. Share This More About: Humor , Died
Best Line Delivery Ever!
2007-10-25 03:20:00 Ok unlike the last post that showed scenes from Undefeatable (yes that was the title thanks to Trites), this scene from Troll 2 is in a league by itself. It’s a tough call though judging what part of the scene is worse; the actor’s line delivery, or the ridiculous zoom in on his mouth as he ... More About: Humor , Film , Line , Deli , Delivery
Possibly the Worst Fight Scene Ever?
2007-10-25 03:02:00 Considering I have seen all the Best of the Best and American Ninja Film s I think I know a bad fight scene when I see one. I’m not sure if this is the absolute worst but it certainly deserves a place in the Pantheon of shitty fight scenes. Pleasantly enough though it is so bad that ... More About: Fight , Scene
Will Wright: The Montessori Game Maker
2007-10-24 04:26:00 Source: TED.COM I’ve always been a die-hard gamer and if I were to list the five most important video-game creators of all time(and I will) Will Wright would have a very prominent role on the list. I can credit more learning experiences from his Sim games (Simcity, Simtower, SimAnt, etc.) than I have from all ... More About: Gaming , Game , Maker , Montessori
Tesla in the News Again!
2007-10-22 19:25:00 Remember when you were asked by someone the question "If you could have dinner with anyone famous living or dead, who would it be?" ? My own answer has been Nikola Tesla . I figure anyone who was thought to have a been an alien because he was so intelligent has to be a good ... More About: News , Rants , Hurricanes , In the News
Colbert for President ?08
2007-10-19 07:15:00 One thing I really miss about watching TV everyday is watching Daily Show and the Colbert Report every night, and after Wednesday night’s airing of The Colbert Report I’m ‘hoping’ to see his presence on the news networks as well. Somehow though considering how right wing most of the news networks are I don’t ... More About: Politics , Humor , President , Jon Stewart
Gorman On Screenwriting #1
2007-10-18 09:47:00 I know being an ‘aspiring screenwriter’ doesn’t make me a greatest authority on the subject, but I’ve read a lot of books, and I’ve written a lot of self proclaimed garbage. That might as well make me a trained professional. Well at least ‘trained’. Rather than cover some pretentious post about three act structure (which ... More About: Screenwriting , Gorman , Cree
The Myth of Violence - Steven Pinker
2007-10-17 21:00:00 Source: www.ted.com I have been arrogant enough to make this claim since the time I was in high school based on qualitative judgements such as The Spanish Inquisition, and Gladiatorial combat in Rome. Thanks to Steven Pinker I have some actual numbers to back me up now. Besides how he ‘unintentionally’ shows Bill Clinton’s affect on mortality ...

A Vision of Students Today
2007-10-17 18:30:00 This post in particular is written by Grumpy Gorman. See if you can notice the subtleties… Ok, I find this video really admirable but looking at this I just feel like I am watching the ‘Me generation’ in full effect. I haven’t been out of school ‘that’ long to find some of these claims a little ... More About: Media , Education , Students , Misc , Today
Ellen Puts on a Show
2007-10-17 08:05:00 I have nothing personally against Ellen DeGeneres (well other than her painfully bad sitcom that used to air on ABC). Watching this clip though sadly I can see where Mutts for Moms is coming from. She has been interviewed by TMZ(something to be proud of) and has made a spectacle of herself on television. The fact ... More About: Humor , Rants , Show
I guess God is a Halo fan?
2007-10-16 07:37:00 I know I’ve been beating both of these subjects lately like a dead horse, but this clip from Conan O’Brien is simply priceless. I guess God IS a Halo fan. Share This More About: Humor , Gaming , Guess , Late Night
Coulter Hacked!
2007-10-16 05:05:00 Someone in response to last weeks comments made by Ann Coulter had the skills and tenacity to hack her website with this wonderful front page. At first I thought it was a photojob(and even so I got a great laugh out of it) but searching through the Digg’s comments I found that someone has actually ... More About: Politics , Humor , Hacked

Master Chief: The New Jesus?
2007-10-15 04:32:00 So what does Halo 3 have in common with the church? Funny how only a few weeks ago I was making comparisons between Master Chief and Peter Pan. More About: Church , Jesus , Gaming
What the Hell is a ?Boite Orange? ?
2007-10-14 05:03:00 I found it odd on Wednesday when I went to my local videogame shop and picked up Valve’s Orange Box for my Xbox 360. I didn’t really look at the game till I got home where I noticed the title on the case was in French. Now being from New Brunswick, let alone Canada, ... More About: Gaming , Rants , Hell
Jews Need ?Perfecting? ?
2007-10-12 20:48:00 Did she just say that? This comes from Monday's show with Donny Deutsch. It's downright painful how after the commercial break Anne Coulter continues to dig herself into a deeper ditch by not just saying that's what she feels but that all Christians feel. She might clarify the situation using the adjectives 'fundamental' and 'Antisemitic'. More About: Humor , Jews

Heroes - Kindred Season 2 Review
More articles from this author:2007-10-11 22:10:00 Finally! Story development! So what’s happened? Well for starters, Peter Petrelli becomes a part of the family. I’m not 100% sure where this arc is going but the places they are taking Peter as a character to I do like. No longer is Peter just Dudley Do-Right, but with his loss of memory is having ...
