Buy: Food Party

Part Wondershowzen, part Pee Wee’s Playhouse, 100% food related.  There’s this cute web based TV ‘cooking’ program called Food Party that I really need to tell you about.  It’s kind of hard to explain so I just went ahead and linked some videos for you below.
Before we get started, here are the essential ingredients:
-1 cute [...]

Buy: The Untitled Amy Poehler Show

Official details about the Amy Poehler Office-spinoff-that-really-isn’t-a-spinoff have finally been revealed:
The documentary cameras follow Leslie Knope (Poehler), a mid-level bureaucrat in the Parks and Recreation Department of Pawnee, Indiana. In an attempt to beautify her town—and advance her career—Leslie takes on what should be a fairly simple project: help local nurse Ann Logan (Rashida Jones) [...]

Don’t Buy: Taking a break from blogging

Um, guys, I have something to admit. I sort of took a break from Buy Or Don’t Buy. I know I have my (work related) excuses, but they’re totally bullshit. The truth is, it’s quite possible that blogging is THE easiest job in the world. Especially blogging for this blog. [...]

Don’t Buy: How Cindy Almost Got Her Groove Back

I don’t know why I felt so compelled to blog about this. I’ve never watched Dancing with the Stars; nor will I ever. I’m not a fan of John McCain. But any opportunity to de-frost robotic arm-candy just grabs my attention.
Cindy McCain started talks with producers to appear as a dancer on the show. She [...]

Buy: Mixed Feelings For Bush

Bush made his farewell address and who cared? I was more focused on the Office coming on than his speech. In fact, I forgot he’d be going on NBC to address the nation one last time. And I don’t know what to think.
1. Good riddance. Gosh. He’s outta here. (GWB: an overall don’t buy)
2. No [...]

Don’t Buy: Hating on the Inauguration Uninterested

So, Obama has been President-Elect for a while now. Bush has been on his way out for a while. And… so…?
On Tuesday, Obama will become President. Haven’t we already decided that? So what’s so OMG about it? He already has the job. I don’t get it. There. Now you know my position on it. I’m [...]

Don’t Buy: Beer 4 Baby

The latest parental appalling horror comes from the BBC:
A man has been arrested in California after allegedly arranging for his 14-year-old daughter to marry a neighbour in exchange for beer, meat and $16,000.
Really? C’mon. Selling your daughter for beer? That’s worst than the incestory story line of Gossip Girl!
The man has a defense. He is [...]

Don’t Buy: American Apparel High Fashion

The first question American Apparel invokes in most people is, ‘Who would buy something like this?’ For most of the items, the easy answer is ‘hipsters.’ However, there are a few that are pitched at a completely different niche market.

This gold jacket, for instance, is for Israeli entertainment moguls.

And this faux-leather jacket is aimed at [...]

Buy: Doctor WHO?

A couple months ago, star David Tennant announced that he would be leaving “Doctor Who” after the 2009 season, leaving the show’s producers to hunt for a new Doctor. Chiwetel Ejiofor and other names were thrown around. As I am American, I did not know who most of these people were. However, after an intense [...]
