Seth MacFarlane, you’re not funny. Give it up.

Hey, you know what Family Guy, American Dad, and The Cleveland Show all have in common? Assuming you’ve even heard of the Cleveland Show by now and have also NOT committed suicide knowing it exists, I’ll tell you: all three are the projects of a guy named Seth MacFarlane. Seth, after an attempt in the 90′s [...]

There is no J in TMNT

Fans of Japanese culture frequently refer to things like J-Rock, J-Pop, etc. with much twinkling in their eyes. These subjects of their affection are like our own Rock and Pop music, but ... Japanese. I bet you didn't see that coming. Some of it is pretty good, some is crap; again, just like the non-Japanese versions of the same. However, some things should not be Japanified because the odds of them turning out less than retarded are not good, and these include classic American cartoon heroes.

The Many Faces of Keith Olbermann

The Warden — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 04:59:39 +0000

You probably know Keith Olbermann, even if you don't recognize his name off-hand. Mr. O is the cocky mouthpiece of a new, neurotic generation of liberal reporting. He gets people out of their seats for at least the time it takes for his show to be over and reality TV to start. Why? Because he's "intense". His views are "revolutionary". His words are "impactful". And he insults Bush a lot. Mostly it's because he insults Bush a lot. In truth, it's quite obvious to the intelligent amongst us that he's completely and utterly full of shit. I have never seen anyone quite like Keith 'Doberman' Olbermann, a man so blatantly aroused at the sound of his own voice and earning megabucks to read "his" thoughts from a teleprompter, a raging boner the size of Texas rubbing against his bulging wallet, and yet he has the gaul to pretend that he gives a sideways pityfuck about any of us. Most people don't even notice the tell-tale signs of a bullshit artist, but don't worry. This might help. I've collected a series of screenshots from a single Olbermann video reposted on Youtube from yesterday along with a few captions of what I think ole Keith is really saying. [...]
