No offense to the much-more-talented-monied-intelligent-sincere than me folks who crafted the following Obamaniac "Music Video:"



BUT

as a piece of politics, this parody it inspired trumps it wholesale, because this:



actually has the ability to affect perception and discourse. A hosana for hope, not so much.

"Nothing is so great an example of bad manners as flattery."

Kawaii!

Morituri te salutamus

Man - just when you thought there wouldn't be any good news, a story like this comes along:

S. Korean man dies after 50 hours of computer games

and here's the important part - "after finishing his mammoth session in an Internet cafe," - HE FINISHED.

Huzzah, Mr. Lee, Huzzah.

Fear the Yearling

What were they thinking?

Here we are, mere months out of the horror of the war with the Axis powers, and Hwood decides we need a lesson in the fact that "life is durn hard, Pa"?!?

I know the whole thing is merely a metaphor for growing up gay in the rural south, and hence the need to shoot your "dear" before it starts eating the tubers in the garden, but pleeease.

I mean, metaphor aside, what you end up with is a story about country livin' folks who don't know ass from claw about the consequences of domestication. The deer was the only intelligent creature on all of Baxter's Island (and if it's BAXTER's island, why do they have neighbors on that island - the subtly named "Forresters" - who are older....?) and they shot it.

What next? Is someone going to adapt Steinbeck's bloody awful "Red Pony?"

"Gah"

It was recently announced that work had begun on a live action version of boomer-beloved canine cartoon super-icon "Underdog."

Yes. I said live action.

AND get this: they plan on using REAL DOGS.
Yeah, that won't suck.

I wonder what crime cartel is laundering their money through that production?
