Buy Or Don’t Buy: Domestic Violence

(I’m probably going to sound like one of those lame men’s rights groups in this post, but try to imagine me looking more like (:-/ and less like >:-o when you picture me reading it aloud.)
I’m going to assume that everyone knows the Tiger Woods story right now. If you don’t, read this right here. [...]

Don’t Buy: Kanye Memes

I’ve been very busy lately, so I’ve had no choice but to have today’s post ghostwritten by a Foppish Victorian Dandy with a prejudice against gypsies. My apologies for the oversight.
Heavens! The events of recent days have proven to me most distressful! Lest you be IGNORANT, I shall tell the tale:
A young Gibson girl of [...]

Buy: Levi Johnston & Kathy Griffin 4-Ever

For some reason, I can never get enough of crappy celebrity gossip. My favorite piece of gossip: Kathy Griffin and Levi Johnston together.
Chances are that Kathy Griffin is doing it for a publicity stunt, that’s cool, that’s what she does. And Levi, from Sarah Palin fame, needed a summer vacation. And for me, it’s just [...]

Don’t Buy: Pennsylvanians

It used to be that you could always count on Pennsylvanians to be pretty high-quality people. Benjamin Franklin, Betsy Ross, Winfield Scott Hancock, John Oates, Andrew Bryniarski, Liza Weil: credits to the Keystone State all. (Sadly, for some reason the only people the Pennsylvania magic has not extended to are US Presidents.)

Buy Or Don’t Buy: The Past Two Weeks

Buy: Sarah Palin’s Resignation — Two reasons: 1) She went out on top with a resignation speech that was full of the folksy sports metaphors and rhetorical nonsensicals that make a Palin speech a [...]

Don’t Buy: Bradley Cooper’s Lady

Just a few months ago everyone asked “Who is Bradley Cooper?” when (false) rumors arose that he was cast as the Green Latern. But then The Hangover came out and was a box office smash, making $16.3M opening day. Now he is awesome. He is even cast along side Liam Neeson in the A-Team!
But B.C. [...]

Don’t Buy: Gawker

Julia and Sly sat outside the United Avalon theaters and asked Tammy to hold up her dress and shoes she bought for MORP. The name might have been backwards, to prevent middle schoolers from drinking, but everything else about Friday’s dance was definitely forwards: girls asking the guys to dance, new clothes, new weather, new [...]

Buy: Michael Bay

The amount of Michael Bay parodies on the internet seem to have grown exponentially in the past couple of months. I guess people have figured out that he is, in fact, a hack who just likes blowing stuff up. I couldn’t be happier!

Personally I enjoy a Michael Bay movie every now and again. Some times I [...]

Buy: Turtles’ Web 1.0

2009 marks the 25th anniversary of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I just found out! And what month are they hosting a party? APRIL! Get it?
They made this super rad video to give 39 Clues about where the party’s going to be:

Up and down!
So what emotion came over me as I opened an email from [...]
