It’s not like there aren’t enough other reasons to live in Japan, but because things like Japanese Bug Fights exist, it continues to give me hope about one day opening an exotic animal battle center of my own!
Vodpod videos no longer available.
If neither of those names are familiar, here are the faces to go with them:
Courtney Ford
Kate Beahan
Courtney is probably best known for her role in season four of Dexter (and not for her marriage to Superman), but she first came to my attention in an episode of How I Met Your Mother (“The Naked Man“). She played an awful person on HIMYM, but she did this on Dexter. She will forever be in my heart, and needs more opportunities to do what she did on Dexter.
Kate has not fared as well in America as she has in her homeland (she’s Australian… I love Australian accents). Her biggest role here was in The Wicker Man, and this is a sample of the material she had to work with:
Come on Hollywood! Give her another shot! At least one better than Nick Cage in a bear suit punching a woman!
How fucking cool is this:
I don’t know how well it works, but I want it. And it’s free. And it’s available now.
But you might be wondering this:
Why don’t you just download it now for free and test it out?
Well that’s because I can’t, you idiot, otherwise I would. I still have an iPhone 3G, and I need at least a 3GS. So I need to upgrade my phone to 4 in order to try it out before my trip to Prague.
So I guess what I’m really saying is:
All I Want For Christmas Is… An iPhone 4!
How could he keep from kissing her? Aside from lawsuits anyway.
This, my dear friends, is the tale of me embarking upon a slippery slope. I do have my defense at the ready as to why I would remember such a small detail, and I do have proof. It’s been a while since I’ve jumped into the rabbit hole, and I think I’ve missed hanging out in the dirt.
AnyGreendale, I’ve been watching the first season of Community on DVD and I’ve noticed something that’s alarmed me. There are actual jokes missing that made it to air but the digital disc. In a world where uncut DVD’s are the norm, why is this show the exception!
The one I noticed for 100% sure happened in the beginning of the episode Social Psychology. I know this for two reasons (besides this proof I’ve found), which I’ll get to after the proof. This line, listed in AV Club’s review of the ep, is not on the DVD release:
You’re an eight, which is a British 10.
You can see it in action here:
Now how did I remember this independent of my research?
And it’s not the only bit trimmed. This is from a review site’s thread (video proof here):
My only gripe with this release: One episode is cut down from the TV version. Chang’s opening scene (where he puts his face right into Annie’s and calls her “Princess Gringa”) is gone, and so is a couple of really funny lines from John Oliver (who was barely in the show as it is!).
All I Want For Christmas Is… To Know Why!?
It’s not like I’m a huge fan of The Beatles and think their shit doesn’t stink (a dung Beatle, if you will), but you cannot deny the fact that they have had a major impact on pop culture.
On the other hand, one night over more than a few brews, I decided that The Rolling Stones could have “not” existed, and we wouldn’t be missing much.
Sure, this Saturday Night Live skit would have never existed:
And there would have been no Paint It Black for The Doors to cover. Wait, the version I thought was Jim Morrison and crew was Mick Jagger and crew?
Well, there would have been no Wild Horses for The Sundays to cover at least (and to be honest, we probably could have lived without this one):
And lastly, who would Johnny Depp have based his Captain Jack Sparrow on other than Keith Richards?
This is the cleanest they've EVER looked.
My list of other rockers he could have based the pirate on:
Bitch Tits himself.
And with that, the argument discussion ended.
After all was said and done, I really wanted to hear this song for some reason, and did you know the B-52’s Love Shack lyric
Tin roof – rusted!
means pregnant, and not on her period? You’re welcome.
Christmas time is here, and so are mother fucking annoying commercials.
To begrudgingly begin, this ad from Verizon is way more annoying in its condensed radio form, but you can get the gist of it from this tube promo. Whoever thought of taking Madness’ Our House and turning it into a hybrid holiday ditty featuring British-sounding hooligans should be run over by Santa’s sleigh. That rusty ol’ magical blade right over their carotid artery would make my mistletoes tingle:
This one isn’t as holiday apparent, but it’s still hawking phones. Who gives telecommunication devices as gifts? Who puts some song that sounds like it’s sung by Lisa Simpson in their ad?
This one is off the radio, and it boils my blood like I’d been in a microwave. It makes absolutely no sense, because not one bit of it ties together. I’m sorry that I can’t get any angrier. I feel dead inside:
I also wanted to mention that although I don’t mind Doug Benson most of the time, commercials for his new show, The Benson Interruption, drive me up the wall. There are no videos online for me to share, so I made this instead:
I was all prepared to do a whole diatribe about this racist Duncan Hines cupcakes ad, but then I realized that site already did it justice (although not much funny).
Also… I found that this disturbed me more:
After watching, I’m sure a lot of people might be inclined to say:
Of course it’s German!
But then I realized these toys came from America and suddenly, clay-pooping dachshunds don’t seem so bad.
As for Duncan Hines – they still have mud on their face. (There was probably a better way to say that.)
The concept of “Sweding a film” may no longer be in vogue, much like saying whether or not something is in vogue, but I love what these guys have done.
It’s pretty self-explanatory.
It’s awesome.
It’s a live-action version of the intro to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon:
I was told by a coworker that may or may not be privy to my private fears to check out our local news website and see this:
I don't even have the ability to be funny right now (which could be argued either way)...
Apparently, some guy captured the image from up in his deer blind in Louisiana, and here’s salsa dog:
SRSLY LOL
Well, maybe a lil’ LOL for the pup.
I thought the guy that sang this song…
…was the same guy that sang this song…
Boy, was I sure confused.
So no more walking on the wild side.
But typing on the wild side is still okay.
