Buy Or Don’t Buy

I don’t follow college football (that’s why happens when you have a foreign father and went to college at a school with no team), and I possess little-to-no analytical knowledge of the NFL, but still! I’m going to be live-blogging the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft, starting in about…oh, 15 minutes. Why?
1. Everyone [...]

I mean there kinda really were a lot of unresolved questions:
-Was the White House rebuilt?
-Did Randy Quaid survive?
-Does Jeff Goldblum have other things to say with his hands?
-Are there other black pilots?
-ARE ALIENS REAL?!!?#!!!
Here are my re-purposed slogans for ID42 and ID43:
We’ve always believed we weren’t alone. Pretty soon, we’ll wish we had more alone [...]

Unlike most of the shows it shares a network with, ABC Family’s “10 Things I Hate About You” is good, clean and fun*, a 30-minute bubble-bath of squeaky shiny teens and their squeaky shiny problems.
*A roundup: “Greek” is good and fun, but hardly clean; “Ruby and the Rockets” is clean and fun, but never good; [...]

Whether it was by the hand of irony, post-irony or of ‘The New Sincerity,’ the term ‘guilty pleasure’ has been stripped of much of its meaning recently, to the extent that I can’t remember the last time I heard it used correctly. Too often will people use it when they really mean ‘lame thing I [...]

This past weekend’s episode of SNL was just alright, but it did include this funny parody of home security systems ads:

However, it would have been even funnier if Sara hadn’t shown me this clip from Target Women six months ago:

Obviously it’s not fair to assume that Saturday Night Live stole the sketch; Target Women, after [...]

Or, “How A Cliché Changes Its Usage, In Five Easy Steps”

November 4, 2005:
What’s more important: talent, coaching, or swagger? These quotes may help you decide. Each tells us something important about that magical gait.
[...] FOX’s Adam Schein, on the Cowboys’ rout of the Eagles a month ago: “Finally, swagger and aggressiveness from the [...]

We get it. Kurt Cobain was an icon. He was a major player in the grunge movement and proponent of teenage angst back in the 1990s. But he’s dead. He died back ‘94. But for some reason, people keep doing things to his memory that just… miss the point of “who he was.”
The latest: Kurt [...]

It is apparently “Talk in Third Person Day.”
No.
If you do this, I will first lose respect for you then despise you for the rest of the month.

Sara and I are very confused about this commercial:

What is going on with these two? Are they lesbians — or, being the only two young nuns, are they just very good friends? Also, are nuns even allowed to wear bikinis, or is that a hint that they are leaving the church altogether? How will we [...]

The most offensive part of my day is undoubtedly the 30 seconds I spend walking through the parade of advertising that is the 47-50th Street subway station. For the past few months the ads in this station have been exclusively for the little-seen and little-loved Spike-TV comedy “Blue Mountain State.” Most of them are offensive [...]
