I feel like the only person on the internet not talking about the Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (that’d be RotS for the truly nerdy). So, avoiding spoilers, here’s my two cents: The main problem with the Star Wars movies resides in the fact that fans have damn near deified episodes IV, V, and […]

Since people have been attacking others with swords, it was only a matter of time before someone was shot with a longbow.

I hated Full House. I thought the show was horrible, but mostly I wondered why Bob Saget was playing such a saccharine character. His stand-up was and is probably some of the most raw stuff I’ve ever heard. I’m not joking. He has recorded a rap song with Jamie Kennedy and Stu Stone. If you’ve […]

I can’t believe Jesus would wear jeans like this. They’re so eighties.

The FCC fined CBS over a half a million dollars because for several seconds viewers got a glimpse of Janet Jackson’s surgically-enhanced boobie. Infinity Broadcasting, which employs Howard Stern, has been fined in excess of three million dollars for sexual comments deemed “indecent.” Everyone’s scared of nudity, everyone’s scared of sex, and everyone is horrified […]
