[CMoore.com] Carlin on Bullshit

[CMoore.com] Bummer

Edgy comic George Carlin dies at 71

Comedian George Carlin, a counter-culture hero famed for his routines about drugs, dirty words and the demise of humanity, died of heart failure at a Los Angeles-area hospital on Sunday. He was 71.

Carlin was amazing. His routines were those of a 2%er who managed to actually connect with the rest of the world. From religion to sex to politics to culture to plain reason, he was a veritable cornucopia of wit and humor.

In sum, I have this to say: shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker and tits.

[CMoore.com] Design Star Music

OK, it’s got to be said - WTF is up with that cheesy-ass music they’re using this year when they show the “after” shots on the room? Seriously, it’s awful 80s-era euro synth trash mixed with muzak.

Also, this is the cryingest season ever.

The show has fundamental problems - it’s entirely focused on the “design” part and not at all focused on the “TV” part; there is no reason for any winner to have a show at the end, and the competition is not geared toward the “thematic show with personality” part which is kind of, you know, crucial for a personality-based show - but the competition is fun (for a comparison on how to do it correctly, see the Next Food Network Star where there’s a huge emphasis on the contestant’s theme and TV style, not just their cooking). If you want to see a floundering train wreck of a show, watch either of the last two seasons winners, which are flat out boring shows.

Also, the viewers’ choice person (Stephanie) looks like someone I know +35 lbs.

Also also, these people cry more than fuckin Ricky on Project Runway. And they only kept that Kentucky woman (Tracy) in for the conflict/drama. Maybe she has BPD with the level of enmity going on there. Then again, she does seem like a pretty huge assmunch and not a team player in the slightest so it’s probably deserved.

Anyhoo, the music during the reveals in the Design Star thingee this year is poke-your-eyes-out awful.

Pitted, so pitted

Thought I’d share some vids as they start entering the zeitgeist

[CMoore.com] Meta pop music video

Great video by Weezer

… I love the warmth and acceptance of all the freaky YouTube miniceleb memes.

Weezer isn’t my favorite band, but the video? Good stuff. You’ve got afroninja, the leave Britney alone! kid, Miss South Carolina… and hugs all around.

[CMoore.com] The effects of fear and our diminished existence

One graphic nicely sums up our age of irrational and overcontrolling fear. We’re doing it to ourselves, people.

[CMoore.com] It's an oldy but a goody

I had totally forgotten about this series of exchanges between Judd Apatow (40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Superbad, etc) and Mark Brazil (that shitty 70s show, general insane douchebag-slash-multimillionaire). But just because it’s old doesn’t mean it’s not worthwhile! (also - interested in ghostfinger’s take on Brazil’s particular form of mental instability).

This came about from the real estalker where I noticed that Brazil is eating his shorts on real estate deals (lost a mil on a sale last year, going to lose as much on today’s listing) … and it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

Thought I’d give a simple points league a try and what do you know? ESPN has a free and easy setup thing.

Copycat

I totally did that too. Only I didn’t. Instead I stiffed this girl who wanted to be my guest but was kind of scaring me with her overaggressiveness and so even though I totally could have hit it and she would have eaten me alive, I just kinda ditched her like a scaredy cat. But other than that, this graduation was exactly like mine.

I have GOT to get back to NYC

Just to see this play. Seriously.

Dipshits who need to speed have small dicks

Anti-speeding ad wags fingers
CANBERRA, Australia, June 26 UPI — An Australian anti-speeding TV ad features young women making hand gestures at a speeder that imply the target has a small penis.

The campaign features young women, an elderly woman and other young men not in the drivers seat wiggling their little fingers in a gesture that implies the speeder is poorly endowed

I know of at least one dissociative stalker going through a perpetual midlife crisis to which this applies. Tiny, dude. Tie-knee.

Why the Gong Show was Cancelled

Ah, those lost innocent days of yore.

Welcome to Craigslist

As part of my moving, I thought I’d throw some stuff on CL at insanely low prices (I usually just donate, but I figured what the hell). Anyway, I had this computer desk that we got for >$100 in NYC for Voldemort back in my 2L year. It’s not worth nearly that much, but it’s still useful and in great shape, so I put it up for the “why not?” price of $25.

Here’s my favorite response. It also happens to be the best exemplar of the CL buyerflake, evar!

I can come tonight and pick up your desk & haul it away.

I have $23 bucks in my purse at this very moment. Are you set on 25?

AWESOME!

I ended up just donating the desk, btw.
