More like 30 suck!
NBC Exec #1: Should we put one of the 30 Rock writers on the job of writing these Valentine’s Day ecards?
NBC Exec #2: Nah, there’s no need for that. I’m sure that Manny the accountant could come up with lines just as funny. Plus he charges less. I mean, how hard could it be?
Jump to find out, and thanks to Videogum for finding these! They are real.
Two songs intended to be sarcastic but were instead hits
(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party)
The Beastie Boys made this song as a fuck you to all the people that expected them to make dumb frat rock since they were three white boys in a band together, and also to mock the kids that showed up at their shows acting like morons. Also it’s one of the most overly parenthetical song titles ever.
Robert Smith wrote this incredibly happy song in 1992 as a response to all the people who thought that The Cure was way too gloomy. Hilariously, the song is even faster than it was intended because Robert Smith forgot to adjust things while recording the song, but it sounded so weird and forced happy that he kept it as it was.
Also, notice how Robert Smith was rocking the puffy kicks and skinny jeans look 17 years ago? Just thought I’d point that out.
Crazy biology facts!
After seeing a baby with a hairy forehead this weekend, I decided to research this phenomena (which had been unknown to me so far) and found out how insanely normal such things are. Let’s get into it.
George Orwell would have had a field day with Facebook, had he even grasped the concept of social networking sites at that point in history.
Not only is Facebook making us all a little too comfortable with the idea that privacy is for squares, as we’re expected to update everyone on how we are and who we’re friends with and what movie tickets we buy, but now look what they’ve done:
they’re allowed to use anything you put on Facebook whenever and however they want, even if you cancel your account.
...and using all your tagged drunk photos.
This is a picture of my BFF Morgan’s dog dressed up like a Native American
I just think that good craftsmanship should be appreciated.
Notice the tomahawk on Gustopher's back.
Ask Gynomite presents: Relationship cliches
I’ve hear a lot of really tired relationship cliches, and sadly, ladies, these are ones I’m hearing from those of you already in relationships. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, it’s time to take a look at two of my least favorite and break them down, Gynomite-style. (these are adapted from an earlier piece)
“I would have the perfect boyfriend if I could put _______, _______, and _______ together”
and
“I’m so confused because I really do like you, but I have a boyfriend. I may leave him though….”
America, America, this is you
Here’s just a small snippet of some of the TV shows that have been approved for production. These are the shows that the suits think are good for us right now.
o ABC gave a cast-contingent presentation order for Planet Lucy based on the book Slummy Mummy by Fiona Neill about a professional career woman who exchanges that lifestyle to be a stay-at-home mom.
o ABC okayed a presentation order for an untitled project with Christian comedian Anita Renfroe from Sony Pictures TV and Tantamount. The multi-camera project has a parenting theme based on the notion family comes first at any cost.
o ABC approved the Kelsey Grammer/Tucker Cawley multi-camera comedy with Grammer in the lead as a Wall Street bigwig losing his job and trying to reconnect with his family.
o ABC also gave a nod to Cougartown starring Courtney Cox as a 40-year old newly single mom with a 17-year old son.
o CBS approved Confessions of a Contractor from Twentieth TV is based on a book of the same name by Richard Murphy about thriving contractors in Los Angeles.
o FOX gained Cop Town, a comedy pilot from writer Adam Resnick (The Larry Sanders Show) and Twentieth Television. The single-camera pilot is set at a halfway house for disturbed cops.
Riddle me this:
How is it that famous females seem to go from looking all neophytey to looking like old used up hags overnight, with nary a step in between?

Kittens inspired by kittens!!!
This is making the Internet rounds, but I am compelled to repost. I wish this little girl was my creation. She is completely nutty.
