The dude is playing Wii Bowling real close to the TV. When the carnage takes place, the first thing he does is call for his mama, then he touches the TV and gives it a few gentle nudges, no doubt believing that this will somehow make it all right again. Again he calls for his mama.

I’m guessing this was followed by weeping on his hands and knees, until mama comes in, sees the carnage and beats him senseless with the wiimote. She probably even used the wriststrap.

I love BSG, but I gotta be honest. This new Caprica series looks ill-advised. It just looks like a boring drama that will leave you frustrated. And it just doesn’t look very good. Prequels suck because there is no drama BEFORE something happens.

Are they trying to keep people away from Ask.com? These new commercials will do it. And induce nightmares.

Apparently if you use them, you’ll have a human sized tick attached to your neck. In the form of a fat woman. You might try burning her off with a match, but that probably won’t work.

The classic Sci-Fi miniseries from the 80’s is returning courtesy of ABC. From Variety:

“Whenever I mention ‘V’ to anybody, they still have a lot of good memories about the original movie and series,” Peters said. “Everybody has that imagery of their uniforms, or the visitor eating a hamster. It’s a science fiction icon and too good to pass up.”

The original “V” served as an allegory for the Holocaust and Nazi Germany. Peters said he won’t duplicate that concept, except that the new “V” will still focus on what happens when the masses have blind faith in their leaders.

In this case, the new “V” will center on Erica Evans, a Homeland Security agent with an aimless son who’s got problems. When the aliens arrive, her son gloms on to them — causing tension within the family. As in the original “V,” several storylines will unfold simultaneously.

Awesome. Don’t fuck it up!

I hope you have a widescreen TV so you can see all of her in frame when she returns to TV to throw her cellulite around. People says:

O’Donnell’s NBC special – airing Nov. 26, the night before Thanksgiving – will serve up a smorgasbord of celebrity guests, comic turns, musical acts and a prize giveaway for both the show’s in-studio and at-home audiences, according to the network.

Sounds interactive. She better not eat my fucking Thanksgiving meal.

Kim Kardashian was voted off Dancing with the Stars last night.

The elimination was a slight upset, because two couples scored lower than Kim and partner Mark Ballas this week, but I think they just figured that was too much ass on the dance floor.

If McCains dick grew with every lie he wouldn’t need viagra anymore. Yesterday, Republican presidential candidate John McCain was supposed to appear on The Late Show with David Letterman, but he bailed at the last second to head to Washington and deal with the country’s mounting economic crisis. So he said. Turns out it was a typical McCain lie. He was down the street with Katie Couric in an interview.

Rightly, Letterman went off on some serious rants against McCain and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

September 8th 1966. Nerds everywhere were in awe. If any of them had ever had sex previously, it would not happen again. It probably led to everything from 12 sided dice to comic cons, to grown men wearing Uhura’s uniform, and so in honor of all things Trek I present to you once again the Star Trek Next Generation Rap.

Comedian and year round plastic faced dummy Joan Rivers talked some crap about ANGELINA JOLIE, calling the actress “stupid”. And Rivers didn’t let it end there and didn’t hold back. She told reporters:

“Well, I’ve worked with stupid actresses – I’ve worked with Angelina Jolie – she saw a sign that said ‘WET FLOOR’ one time, and she did!” I mean she’s attractive, but not a bright girl. Stunningly beautiful but stupid…she would have asked Stevie Wonder, ‘What’s your favourite colour?’”

Great stuff. Joan Rivers is a funny gal and she’ll go on being funny unless she gets too close to a recycling plant, in which case her face will end up back in plastic bottles.

Time to get ready for the new 2008 Fall television line-up. Below are the premiere dates of your favorite old shows and the highly anticipated new ones.
