The long wait is over!!

Apparently, this cockasaur of a congressman has nothing better to do than crack wise about celebrity gossip, Entertainment Tonight style! Oh, except he also wants to fuck with DTV and he wants to abolish the IRS? Ah the life of an old, southern legislator… Oh, and his webpage is in french! WTF?
Wow, this marketing campaign is pretty fresh, but I’d still be reticent about talking with some wierdo who came up to me in public and started babbling about consumer electronics and/or religion and/or politics. Especially after that incident with the Jehovah’s Witnesses and the “Personal Massager” :)
Still doesn’t explain why I can’t tickle myself
Published July 30th, 2002 in Uncategorized. 1 CommentIt’s like at the end of the news, after all the car crashes and murders and it’s hot as fuck and the Cubs got their asses kicked and the stock market is in the shitter and kids are missing and the city doesn’t have enough money to pay for schools and then they have a happy story! But anyway, at least as far as happy stories go, at least this is a pretty good one. Or I enjoyed it anyway; I wonder if I can get a grant to study this kind of shit? BTW, my 2 favorite fark comments on this story are as follows:
- They have discovered oxytocin. That’s like saying that you just discovered adrenaline.
- In Soviet Russia CT Fibers stroke you!
So if the top US and European military officials are confused about the goals of this pending war in Iraq, then who the hell is behind it? The fucking free-masons? WTF?! Anyway, if I”m way off base here, and there’s some way we can blow up Iraq without killing a bunch of civilians and incurring the wrath of some of the craziest fuckers on Earth, then please fill me the fuck in already!
If you somehow missed out on the Weebl + Bob post from Metafilter a few days back, or did not delve far enough into the site’s other content, then perhaps… Now is the time!!!
I’d heard lots of talk about this new George Michael animated video but never got around to looking at it in it’s entirety. Now that I’ve seen it, I can personally reccommend that you give it a look. Even if you’re not a big GM fan, you will probably get a kick out of it… Or you will be indifferent or offended, in which case you suck. Or you will think it’s the best video you’ve ever seen, in which case you’re pretty lame and you should check out more videos. Anyway, I think that pretty much covers all the bases. But let me know if you experience any previously uncategorized emotions, and I’ll make note of it.
Check it out. The third Harry Potter movie is getting a new director… And it’s not anyone you might suspect, either. Alfonso CuarÛn is the man behind the men (and women) behind “Y tu mam· tambiÈn.” Of course this makes a lot more sense, if you know that he also helmed “The Little Princess” and “Great Expectations” (huh?). Anyway… Not like I could give a flying fuck about Harry Potter, but a lot of people do apparently, so there ya go.
Apologies to the faithful reader(s)… I neglected to give a citation to the individual who brought the Janis Ian article to my attention. Who was it? Why, none other than 19th century philosopher, John Stuart Mill! As to why my site was selected for this spectral visitation (and link suggestion), I can only imagine that the late Mr. Mill was googlewhacking away at the great internet cafe in the sky when he came across the site, and felt an affinity with the general “Fuck the Man!” attitude that we try so hard to convey here. Hopefully J.S. will continue to frequent the site, as his comments and links are always valued highly, due to their overall quality, originality and vulgarity ;)
Hey, my last vitriolic post reminded me of a vitriolic article (on a similar subject) by a very accomplished (and vitriolic) musician… Steve Albini! Check it:
And hey, it’s being hosted by Negativland! How cool is that?
ps. My favorite quote from this article: “Here is the math that will explain just how fucked they are.”
