A Rare Moment Of Moral Clarity From Bill O'Reilly!
Posted on Feb 9th by Gabe 35 Comments
spacer

Bill O’Reilly is a liar and an asshole, end of story. There’s absolutely nothing he could ever really do to make up for the years of disinformation and hate-mongering that he has broadcast through his FOX News program and his children’s books. The worst part about Bill O’Reilly, and I have said this before, is the painfully clear fact that the dude doesn’t even believe in half of the garbage things that come out of his mouth. He just says them because he knows they will appeal to his viewership, and he can continue to make lots of money. (As a point of reference on this particular issue, I highly recommend listening to/watching a Bill O’Reilly interview in the “liberal media,” either on The Daily Show or Fresh Air with Terry Gross*. It’s interesting! He almost always comes off as thoughtful and intelligent. Which only makes things worse. Because that means he’s aware.) All of this being said, today we offer credit where credit is due, and point to a rare moment of moral clarity from Mr. O’Reilly. In the wake of the Ellen Degeneres – JC Penny – Million Homophobic Moms dust up, O’Reilly addressed the issue on his show, and not only stood up for Ellen Degeneres’s corporate spokesmanship, which, well, of course he did, I mean, right, but he also stood up for gay rights in general. It’s actually pretty good:

  • I like these pictures of a redditor’s dad, apparently, who photoshops himself into movies and movie posters SO MUCH! My goodness. What a hands-down delight. -Reddit
  • This is a supercut of slow motion shots from Wes Anderson movies set to different Ja Rule songs. I bet you’re like, “Why didn’t IIIII think of that,” right now, right? Ugh, you’re so predictable. -Uproxx
  • Will Ferrell introduced the starting line-ups of the Chicago Bulls and New Orleans Hornets at a basketball game yesterday. You should watch it, probably! It only takes like a minute and I think you’ll probably enjoy it! -SportsGrid
  • So, Michael Showalter was on What What Happens Live last night and announced that there was “definitely” going to be a Wet Hot American Summer sequel. I think that was not a true statement? I mean, who knows. But I don’t think so? Right? Do you guys think so? -FilmDrunk
  • I’m certainly aware that everyone in Hollywood has a fake name because that’s just what the public WANTS, but I was still totally blown away by this slideshow of actor’s with their real names. Probably because my brain is feeling extra dumb today? I don’t know. But maybe you’ll like it too? And you’ll send the names to your friends? And you’ll be like, “Can you believe it?!” And they’ll be like, “I don’t care about this”? -HuffingtonPost
  • Oh my goodness, is Macaulay Culkin ok?! I really don’t think he is! Doesn’t he have anyone who loves him around? Does he need one of us to bring him some soup or milk or something? -ONTD
  • Here is a video compilation of some Downton Abbey anachronisms. I would never in a million years know that a bunch of these were anachronisms. -RatsOff
  • Requiem for a Dream,  your favorite movie of all time, recreated with puppets. Great. -TheDailyWhat

Lawyer Mike: "Love (....runs thru my veins)"

For anyone who’s lost contact with their children:

At a certain point I am certain that we as human beings will evolve to the point where we can breathe underwater through our neck gills stop holding on to the unevolved belief that one is “rapping” just because one understands “how to rhyme words together.” But that will apparently take hundreds and hundreds of years, so for now we have nothing to do but roll around in this primordial swamp together like a bunch of fucking assholes. (Thanks for the tip, Gregory.)

Goodbye House, We'll Watch You In Heaven
Posted on Feb 9th by Kelly 24 Comments

Do any of you guys still watch House? I assume everyone watched House at SOME point, because I did, and everybody does the same things* as me, right? RIGHT? Well if any of you still watch it, first of all, did House ever fix his hurty leg? Second of all, get ready to get SAAAAADDD! Check out this joint statement from House executive producers David Shore and Katie Jacobs, and also Hugh Laurie:

After much deliberation, the producers of House M.D. have decided that this season of the show, the eighth, should be the last. By April this year they will have completed 177 episodes, which is about 175 more than anyone expected back in 2004.

The decision to end the show now, or ever, is a painful one, as it risks putting asunder hundreds of close friendships that have developed over the last eight years — but also because the show itself has been a source of great pride to everyone involved.

The producers have always imagined House as an enigmatic creature; he should never be the last one to leave the party. How much better to disappear before the music stops, while there is still some promise and mystique in the air.

Nooooooo! The music stopped such a long time ago, I feel like, just bring him back so we can keep him in silence foreverrrrrrrrrrrr! Obviously this is heartbreaking news, not only to anyone who still watches House, but also to anyone who even knew that it was still on TV and hadn’t ended at least two seasons ago. What’re we gonna do without it?! Huh?! Well, I’ll TELL you what we’re gonna do about it! We’re gonna keep the plot going! RIGHT HERE!

Capturing A Paper Mâché Rhino: A Beautiful Metaphor
Posted on Feb 9th by Kelly 16 Comments

I’m not sure what this video of zookeepers in Tokyo training for the possibility of an animal escape is a metaphor for, but I am smart enough to understand that it is a metaphor for something, and I have EYES enough to know that it is a beautiful one. Is it a big, broad idea, like “war” or “religion”? Is it a small, specific idea, like loving someone based on preconceived notions you have about that person, only to find in the end that they weren’t quite accurate and that you only loved the “paper mâché rhino,” so to speak? Who knows. Just something to think about. For days and days and days and days and days. (Via Neatorama.)

Top Chef S09E13: Welcome Back, Beverly
Posted on Feb 9th by Gabe 16 Comments

Historically, in writing Top Chef recaps, I would try and come up with a fun headline. You know, just something kicky and fun. Maybe some wordplay. Maybe a pop culture reference. Something about the food they cooked, but in a light and joking manner? Anyway, as you can see, the headline on this post is straight-forward because this show has become almost unbearably dull. If they’re not going to make this enjoyable and entertaining, I’m not going to beat my head against the wall trying to do their jobs for them. On this episode, the winner of Last Chance Kitchen, the lowest rated Internet webseries of all time, is revealed and it’s Beverly. OK? Beverly is back. They try to make it into this whole thing. “Did you even know they were doing Last Chance Kitchen?” Yeah, I knew, and I couldn’t have cared less. Right from the get-go by starting the season off with 400 contestants and whittling it down to 15 over TWO HOURS this season of Top Chef has been tedious and insulting to its audience. Just because people like something doesn’t necessarily mean they want a TON MORE of it (with the exception of Justified, which should be on every single night and/or just be a 24-hour network of its own with brand new episodes every single hour). It is actually possible to contain yourself to a 12-episode season and make that season interesting and compelling and fast-paced and not slog it down with 10 extra episodes of absolute garbage. But hey! If the Top Chef producers want to run this thing into the ground so that no one even has the energy to stay tuned for Watch What Happens Live! that is their business. Literally. That is their job. But I still think they should be fired.

Welcome back, Beverly. Everyone hates you.

Triumph The Insult Comic Dog Snubbed At The "Golden Collar" Awards

I have no idea what the “Golden Collar” awards are, but Triumph is mad that he isn’t getting one. He is the Ryan Gosling or Patton Oswalt or whoever of dog puppets.
