News broadcasts just love to talk about Jesus. In a quirky, mocking way! Mostly their coverage is limited to people who find Jesus (and sometimes Mary) in various items. Sandwiches, cats, lampposts, etc. A compilation: Note that these segments always seem to come at the end of the broadcast, when pe...

Sure, most people have heard Plastic Bertrand's "Ça plane pour moi" (whether during the KROQ golden age of alternative music or plugs for the CW's slate of dramas). But who spends a lot of time thinking about what the man born Roger Marie François Jouret on this day in 1954 is up to these days? As...

What do "misfit teenage girls" and "women in their thirties" like, in addition to pictures of cute pets on the internet? Droll mockery of their personal lives, of course! The ashamed, secret straight male audience for cats, meanwhile, appreciate "shots of attractive women, with their pets nestled ne...

Hey, here's an idea: If you're a would-be inventor with more ideas than time or engineering skill or business sense, why not just start a blog with all your wacky ideas? Then if somebody actually takes one and invents it, they can give you a cut of the profits. Why, that's just clever enough to be a...

Intervention is the realest reality show on television. The A&E series is the starkest imaginable look at drug addiction and alcoholism that you'll find anywhere outside of, well, real life. I'm constantly amazed that the show not only finds addicts willing to be filmed smoking, snorting, and drinki...

Joshua David Stein is back briefly to talk about Bravo's Top Chef whose penultimate episode aired last night. There's really little left to say. Lisa, spawn of the devil, whose unpleasantness is only matched by her durability outlasted Antonia, a chef who was nice and talented in last night's episod...

Since "Young American Bodies" has the same theme as every other "serious" web show, I figured this series about several young people's romance and sex lives would be trash, only this time with some naked shots. But it turns out the show on IFC.com (which originally ran on Nerve.com) is good honest f...

Weezer's new music video features web stars like Chris Crocker, "Evolution of Dance" guy, Gary Brolsma from "Numa Numa," and Afroninja (who it turns out is a very good stuntman except for that ). And they actually do stuff! In most meme-collecting videos (like this one from the Barenaked Ladies), ev...

College newspaper site UWIRE recently announced the UWIRE 100, their estimation of the top college journalists of last year. Our personal favorite? David McSwane of the Rocky Mountain Collegian. Along with the editorial staff, he wrote a two-word, full-page editorial saying, simply, "Fuck Bush." He ...
