Comment Spam ---- Why I Can't Look Away
Comment spam fascinates me more than it should. Given that it's been around since the dawn of the internet, I can't help but wonder if these ridiculously lazy, assinine marketing ploys actually work on people. I mean, it's a supply and demand kind of world, righht? Who are the suppliers? Who are the demanders? I need some answers.
Think about it. Are there actually people out there

Rescued From Obscurity: A Rod Stewart Double Shot
How YOU doin'?
While Rod Stewart definitely isn't obscure--I think by now even his detractors would agree that he's reached "legend" status--the following two songs could definitely be categorized as such. And since I was going to post both videos on here anyway, I figured I might as well use the RFO tag, even though it's just the tracks themselves that are relatively unknown and not the

Game of Thrones: Why I'm not watching it.
Big "Game of Thrones" fan, huh? That's super. No, really - I mean it. Good for you.
All kidding aside, I'm not knocking Game of Thrones fans. Some of my best friends are Game of Thrones fans. From the reviews I've read, the show does seem interesting. I mean--royalty, intrigue, mythical creatures, orgies, dwarf sex--it definitely doesn't sound boring or formulaic. And I love Peter Dinklage (

Are you ready for the creepiest thing you'll see today? Cause here it is!
This is also an unbelievably lazy post--it's not like it's hard to make fun of this video. But screw it, I'm going in.
0:16 Was anyone else relieved to see both of his hands? I know I was.
01:10 Say what you will about the guy--he does a good job of not tripping over the stage while walking backwards. Are the French known for their coordination?
01:15 - 01:25 Those dancers are really

Rescued From Obscurity: Wendy & Lisa - "Waterfall"
"Watch out when you're headed for the waterfall..."
Man, I LOVED this song. I remember the video getting some airplay on MTV in the fall of '87, and I thought it was brilliant back then too. I even have recollections of my stepbrother's reaction to the clip: "Damn, that chick on guitar (Wendy) is SERIOUSLY hot." (I suspect this had a lot to do with the white bra top Wendy sports in the

Adorableness rating: 11. Yes, these kittens go to 11.
Introducing the Fab Four: Gordon, Patrick, Dylan, and Petal
These four dangerously cute kittens are currently being fostered by my friend Prudence here in Baton Rouge.
I was lucky enough to meet Prudence last month while she was making her daily visit to her mother Susan, our very sweet downstairs neighbor. I discovered that Prudence and Susan have been caring for my two favorite

Happy Birthday Roger Taylor!
"(Growing up in Birmingham) you could either escape through football or music.
And I wasn't much good at football."
Funny guy. Great musician too. He's known for being the quiet, mysterious Duran who left the music biz in 1985 (just after DD's Live Aid performance) and sought refuge in the English countryside. A true introvert, I think his circuits were just completely fried after seven

Happy Easter! Here are some disturbing greeting cards!
Image from Capnwacky
In honor of Easter, I wanted to pay tribute to one of my favorite (sadly, no longer updated) humor blogs, Capnwacky, and their brilliant gallery of creepy greeting cards from the days of yore. They called it The Unfortunate Page and it featured a myriad of WTF vintage cards, including goofy Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, and even Washington's Birthday cards (does

This Good Friday Support Planned Parenthood!
Misty, me, and Katy at the the 2011 rally in St. Paul
Aww, I had so much fun at the Planned Parenthood Good Friday support rallies! This is the first time in four years that I haven't gone and I'm really missing it. It's become something of a tradition, as Good Friday is the designated day for religious fanatics to line up outside Planned Parenthood locations around the country to wave

CNN Throws a Rapist Pity Party
Uuuuuuughhhhhhhh, seriously, I can't handle this shit:
Okay, to be fair, CNN is just part of the problem. Several media outlets have taken the same tone: "Awww, what a shame for these bright young men! How awful that they have to endure this!" and it's pissed me off so badly I can barely see straight.
That said, CNN--in particular Candy Crowley, Poppy Harlow and Paul Callan--GO
