From AutoBlog: Woman finds that dead body is the source of her steering problems. A young woman from Ecourse, MI was driving through Detroit at about 1AM on Friday morning when she noticed that something was wrong with the way her car was handling. The teenaged driver pulled over into a nearby service station, thinking [...]
I think this pretty much sums up Cars (especially when comparing the movie to other animated films): (from John Hartl at MSNBC [link] The company’s latest, “Cars,” which could easily turn out to be the summer’s best movie (and it’s only June), instantly wipes out memories of the past year’s other computer-generated cartoons. Without relying [...]
I love to see it happening: commercials are slowly dying. Once I got my PVR, I stopped watching them for the most part. I’ll see a handful during a game, but other than that, my tv consumption is done in a time-shifted manner. Statistics show that most of America is following this trend, albeit not [...]
I just saw that Crash won the Best Picture award. I can’t tell you how glad I was to see this. In fact, I liked the film so much,
The Olympics have saturated television once again. It’s a biannual celebration of athletes and waste. When I was a kid–I loved the Olympics…particularly the Winter ones.

It amazes me how women are still potrtayed as objects. Of course, by objects, I mean “Objects of Sex.” Even after the feminist revolution and the supposed enlighted society that we live in, women are still sexual object in marketing, music and media. I saw a commercial for the Suit Mart here in Houston. The [...]
What’s the big deal with Hunter S. Thompson? Who really cares about him? I can’t figure out why the launch of his ashes into space really matters [Link]. Any ideas?
First of all, I cannot help but say that I am so thankful that the Michael Jackson case is over. I’ve never seen so much non-news masquerading as news. Whoever decided that this was front page stuff for the past six months–I simply don’t know. It’s really the story of a very sick man (regardless [...]
