Wendy’s teaches bad dating
Have you seen the new Wendy's commercial for their new shake? A women constantly offers her boyfriend a taste of her beverage until she finally finds out that he's not really there.He's deceived her with a hologram, he's really at "the game." Hilarious...
The real joke is though that they're on a date at Wendy's. Funny fun!
Everybody Hates Chris, But Loves Kelsey
This ad that appeared in Monday's newspaper is a real head scratcher.
Is there anybody out there that would see this ad and be like, "Holy Crap! Frasier directed that episode! I must watch!"
How bad are things for the CW that this is what they hope will bring 'em more viewers?
Oh well, let's all watch this video clip of Kelsey doing an symbolic impersonation of his career after Frasier:
Falwell
"God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve."
-- Rev Jerry Falwell, blaming civil libertarians, feminists, homosexuals, and abortion rights supporters for the terrorist attacks of Tuesday, September 11, 2001, to which Rev Pat Robertson agreed, quoted from John F Harris, "God Gave US 'What We Deserve,' Falwell Says," The Washington Post (September 14, 2001)
"I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!"
-- Rev Jerry Falwell, America Can Be Saved, 1979 pp. 52-53, from Albert J Menendez and Edd Doerr, The Great Quotations on Religious Freedom
"AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals."
-- Jerry Falwell (attributed: source unknown)
"The idea that religion and politics don't mix was invented by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own country."
-- Rev Jerry Falwell, Sermon, July 4, 1976
" If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being."
-- Rev Jerry Falwell (attributed: source unknown)
Five More Summer Movies
You know Spider-Man, Pirates, and Shrek. Bourne Identity, Fantastic Four, and Harry Potter. But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all... er... I mean. There are a lot of big movies coming out this Summer, and while the movies above are getting all the buzz, there more movies that won't be breaking any box office records, probably won't ever rank number one, and possibly may never see any auditorium bigger than that really small smelly one at a single multiplex in a major city.
Here are my to five picks of these neglected films:
5) Mr. Bean Holiday - 9/8
The first trailer didn't impress me much, but this new one looks promising. And, hey, it's Mr. Bean! C'mon, how could it possibly be anything less than the greatest thing ever? This film recently debuted in England at #1, knocking 300 from that position.
4) Balls Of Fury - 9/14
I know you're thinking that this and the last film both come out in September, after the Summer. Well, you're stupid, summer lasts as long as you believe it does... and when the calendar says it does.
Balls of Fury looks dumb. But Christopher Walken is in it and he cracks me up.
3) Superbad - 8/17
This is produced by and stars Seth Rogen of Freaks & Geeks, Undeclared, and 40 Year Old Virgin fame. It also has that George Michael Bluth kid from Arrested Development. How can this film possibly fail?
Also, check out the R-Rated version of the trailer.
2) King of Kong - ???
This movie... is about two guys... who play... DONKEY KONG! Awesome!
1) Knocked Up - 6/1/07
This stars Seth Rogen of Freaks & Geeks, Undeclared, and 40 Year... wait, whoa, deja-vu. Jay Baruchel, also from Undeclared, and Jason Segal, also from Freaks and Geeks, are both featured players. Need another person to connect all these movies and shows together? It's directed by Judd Apatow, who also did Freaks & Geeks, and Undeclared, and 40 Year Old Virgin. So... yes, um, here's the trailer:
Forget Paris
From Mail & Guardian Online
[Paris Hilton] on Tuesday appealed to fans to sign an online petition urging California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to commute her 45-day sentence for driving while disqualified. "If the late former president Gerald Ford could find it in his heart to pardon former president Richard Nixon after his mistake(s)," reads the appeal, "we undeniably support Paris Hilton being pardoned for her honest mistake as well, and we expect that the governor will understand and grant this unusual but important request."
First of all, who in the Water World would be a Paris Hilton fan? Someone hoping one day to be an alcoholic? A drug addict? A whore? Someone who loves bad acting? Someone who loves staying at Hilton hotels? I don't get it.
I love the whole Hilton as Nixon thing. They're so much a like. Let's see Nixon opened up diplomatic relations with China, helped create the EPA, reformed the postal service, indexed Social Security for inflation and added Supplemental security income. And Paris Hilton gave us a remake of House of Wax. So I can see how they're the same.
Meh, what is with some people?
Music & Toilet Paper
Concert goers attending the festival at Glastonbury this year should be mighty pleased. Besides getting to see such hit artists as Arctic Monkeys, The Killers, The Who, and Shirley Bassey they also won't have to worry about running out of bathroom tissue.
Every ticket holder to the festival will be given a free roll of toliet paper upon arriving.
I must say, it's much better than what I get at concerts here in the US. I'm lucky if I can get a bottle of water for less than $4, while these lucky Brits are getting toilet paper! How could we have let America fall so far behind?
HSBC Denies God
HSBC bank has denied God a checking account. The reason? Because HSBC doesn't allow accounts to people with only one name. God said how about "Almighty God," but HSBC didn't like that either.
Of course it wasn't the God that has been denied, but rather just some guy who changed his name to God in an effort to sell books. Not a bad idea actually, considring the number one selling book of all time is the bible.
