My Genius Idea For Solving Two World Problems At...
This was a get out of bed in the middle of the nighter! Are you ready? Here it is:
Proposition: All Christmas songs should be removed from the public domain and given to charity (thinking OXFAM or Toys For Tots). If a company wants to use a Christmas song, they have to purchase the right to do so from the charity. DONE AND DONE.
I Don't Know Very Many Things
But I do know that this is not how the film industry works.
Liveblogging My "Catching Up On Novel-Reading"...
I just decided to search for the most popular video tagged “puppy” on YouTube. #3 is Rick Roll. That is hilarious to me right now.

Everything you'll need on your holiday trip home
cajunboy:
A couple of years ago my friend Kate wrote this production rider for her trip home to stay with her parents during the holidays for McSweeneys. It remains one of the funniest things about the holidays I think I’ve ever read…
Please note the following points that shall be adhered to on Kate Kershner’s Holiday Visit Home Tour. It is in the best interest of the VENUE (i.e.: JIM and CAROL...
Christopher Meloni Has To Be Kidding
Fun activity: imagining the meetings and phone calls behind the scenes of People’s Scratch N Sniff sexiest men issue.
It doesn’t matter how much he needed this for his career - NO guy with a sense of humor would take this assignment seriously. (I can just see Meloni telling his publicist “Uh, really? Do I have to? Okay, uh, “a day at the beach.”)
Single Ladies: A Deconstruction
lindsay: hey can you explain "single ladies" to me?
lindsay: I've heard the song once
spencer: nope
lindsay: on snl
lindsay: and I've heard the "if you like it" quote many times
lindsay: but I don't get it
lindsay: did Jay Z really like her ring finger? that's the closest I can get
spencer: it's odd considering the secrecy surrounding her relationship with jay z
spencer: she's all loud and proud about get hitched
spencer: telling other girls what to do
spencer: but yeah
spencer: i tried to crack it, but you can't
spencer: its like my humps
spencer: dont waste your time pulling your weave out
spencer: to use a topical word, it's synecdoche
spencer: part for the whole
spencer: or is it metonymy?
spencer: it for it
spencer: the song doesn't work without pointing to what "it" is
lindsay: ah
lindsay: it is two different things
lindsay: if you like a then you should have put a ring on b
spencer: in the first case, "it" is poonanny and "it", in the second case is finger.
spencer: exactly
lindsay: or if you like a-z then you should have put a ring on b
spencer: better
lindsay: I guess either could stand, awkwardly, for "me"
spencer: right
spencer: it's lol cat speak really
spencer: it can has ring?
lindsay: hahaha
spencer: "it" could also be referring to the Stephen king novel. i hear jay z loves him some stephen king
lindsay: HAHAHAHAHA
spencer: also
spencer: break through
spencer: it's an update on the expression, "if you like it so much, then why don't you marry it?!"
spencer: pee wee better be seeing some residuals
spencer: that's it
spencer: the most juvenile phrase ever turned beyonce single
lindsay: whoa!
lindsay: I say that all the time!
spencer: hahaha
lindsay: why didn't I figure that out?
lindsay: This has just blown my mind.

Now where are BoCoCa (sorry) citizens who don’t have summer shares to go to pretend they’re at the beach next summer? (It was also nice in winter. Life is not fair.)

WatchI think if I’d posted this on Videogum Gabe would have quit, but the point I’d like to make with it is this: if a company asks you to participate in a frank discussion of bodily functions and/or sex for their online video show, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SAY NO.
(Also, all those girls are your girlfriends.)

Putting All The Vegetables Away
Pre-Obama’s win, the only thing I could listen to late at night on the subway was The Gash. Now, the only thing I can listen to is Suddenly, Everything Has Changed.
(This is assuming that the only album everyone else has time to listen to anymore is The Soft Bulletin. Right? Guys?)

I Dated A Spammer
The year was 1997, I’m pretty sure. I was in college in Tallahassee. My boyfriend drove me around everywhere because I didn’t have my license yet because of what I would later learn was something called “learned helplessness” (crossed with 99% “learned laziness.”) I was barely “on the internet” at all yet, but he had already started his own...

Like, seriously…I’m going to have...

Elderly Christian woman’s cross is trampled at gay rights rally (Video)
An isolated incident that will no doubt be clung to, though, on some level, the ramping up of heated emotion on this subject seems so long overdue that it’s hard not to think a few “finally” thoughts among the “eww, no, don’t do that, dude, why?” thoughts. I just wish it was a huge...
Does Anyone Else Do This?
When you watch a game show and someone wins an amount, do you automatically halve it in your head because winnings and bonuses are taxed at 50%? And is that some sort of optimist/pessimist indicator, because I’ve always thought I was an optimist. I can’t be the only one. When Deal Or No Deal first started I would be like “It’s not 100k, it’s 50k, and NO YOU...

The Dumbest Thing I've Ever Researched/Argued For
azizisbored:
I recently wrote a small piece of about “Diddy Blogs” for the NYTimes and was told they wouldn’t print the word “bitchassness” in reference to Diddy Blog #10: Bitchassness Alert Level Orange. I thought they should keep it in, so I sent this email to them.
Read the whole thing, it’s very funny.

I was getting a little annoyed with the meme so I decided to see if the URL was taken. It is! And, amazingly, by someone who also seems a little annoyed with the meme.
"The Movie Is Helmed By Seann William Scott..."
When I was a kid, I wasn’t allowed to watch TV. So all of our television came in the form of VHS Christian propaganda tapes my parents subscribed to through church for outrageous fees. “Gospel Bill” was a western in which an absurdly middle-aged and overweight “cowboy” staged showdowns with a wily devil in the town square (no guns — but there was a lot of...
