Early reports are sketchy at best but apparently there’s a new use for the Nintendo Wii gaming console. There is alleged to be a male and female version of the Wii-brator that allow “players” from other sides of the country to, theoretically, control the opposite remote.
I’d be totally in to this if I could do it without permission from the person on the receiving end. Because, well…that’d be funny. Honestly, I see this as just one more way to avoid actual contact with another human. Gamers: revolutionizing cyber sex once more.
An opportunity to make a movie about one of the most awe inspiring places in the U.S.: SCUTTLED. Instead, what we have here is a less than inspiring recruiting film.
I love Annapolis: I love the campus, I love the history, I love the buildings, I love the museums, I love the location, I love the tradition, but most of all I love the people, the officers, the commanders of the most powerful fearsome Navy in the history of the world.
Apparently Kendra (one of the blondes that Hef dates) really loves the Olive Garden. Yeah, even though the Playboy mansion has gourmet chefs on site, she would prefer to eat mediocre pseudo-Italian food. And upon her many trips there, she finally figured out a way to be useful to the empire that acts as her pimp.
I like comics. A lot. It just seems that I can’t get what I enjoy with paper comics anymore. Most of them are tie-ins to tie-ins to Super World Changing Story Lines. My favorite Capes have been re-made every six months for the last couple of years, and I just can’t do it anymore. Planet Hulk is one of the best examples of this. Hulk needed revamping; he had gotten boring. By sending him to another world where he could be allowed to grow and develop, they gave him the ability to move leaps and bounds beyond his stagnated persona. Until Marvel decided, of course, to fuck all of this up with World War Hulk. They blew up the people Hulk had grown to care about and sent Hulk back to earth, just to start breaking things again. I can’t stop loving comics just because my heroes are being poorly written. My solution instead was to start reading different comics. I have been reading webcomics for years, but after I stopped reading print comics regularly, I jumped in head first. I figured I’ve forced my opinions on music down your throats enough; let’s try reading material! So, here it goes:
So of course you must be living in a cave if you didn’t know that this movie is out today. Starting at 12 A.M., The Dark Knight (the movie WE ALL MUST SEE to stay current and in the loop) was released, and with the massive amount of hype surrounding it, we’re looking at records being shattered from the sheer amount of folks going to see it. The midnight showings alone have made millions.
I was one of the lucky ones to get a seat for this, and here are my thoughts. WARNING - you may not want to click this if you haven’t seen it, because of course I will be going into heavy details. So if you hate to know what happens, don’t click the link below. You have been warned.
Welcome to Friday - and since I can’t go see The Dark Knight tonight, I have decided to try to drag the Entrecard Community out into the open air of the rest of the Internet. Now, I will start out by saying that I am a card carrying (hee) member of the community, and I have reaped the benefit of some new friends, new visitors, and carpal tunnel. That said - I am now going to say what I want, cause I need to kill some time before Carnival Friday really starts. I am also going to put random links in each of my points to stuff I like so that people who don’t have websites have a reason to read this.
If you rely on EC for all of your traffic, or you have a site that is ABOUT EC, then you need to die. Well, maybe die is harsh. But if you can’t even get your aunt or someone to look at your site, you must suck. If you are just starting out it’s one thing, but if you only get traffic from EC, then your website must not be very good. (click here to have a chick moan your IP)
Stop saying blog, blogger, blogging, blogosphere and anything else with blog in it. Say website. Blog makes you sound like some emo dope. Also, LOGS should always be dusty books with the last entry saying something like: “Jan 18 - Shiverston’s corpse…still preserved by cold…and strangely attractive. The bells? Father? My God…”
If you are going to fight with people on EC - do it on your own site. Like this (holy shit).
If you are an Internet Marketing Wizard, and we are both on Entrecard, what exactly are you going to teach me? Are you going to charge me money for tips (which I would respect) or are you going to try to get me to sign up for ad programs that you will get credit for, thus making you not an INTERNET marketer, but rather a MARKETER TO DUMMY WEBSITE OWNERS. Which is fine, but whatever. Look at this scary ass house! (it has an annoying voice ad, though).
Stop treating Entrecard like it is the World Bank. If you do it the way it is designed, then you might get some new visitors and if your site does not suck, they might come back.
Entrecard is like a trade show. Everyone there is selling something. That’s what annoys me the most. So I am going to ask you, the readers, EC’ers as well, to tell me what your favorite EC site is. Link it in the comments. Vote for yourself. I don’t give a shit. Whoever gets the most votes will get a big fancy post about them here. So how about it? What’s the site you would read if you DIDN’T own a website, EC folks? And the rest of you - click this link below and see if there is anything you like - then come back and tell us.
The graphic novel Watchmen by by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons is probably the best example of this kind of work of all time. It IS as smart as everyone says it is. And you should buy it on Amazon and read it. Is it a comic book? Yes. Is it a really frigging GOOD comic book? Oh yeah.
It is actually structured like a novel, and you will probably have to read it more than once to get everything out of it. And it’s worth it. Every word.
Why am I kissing its ass so much? Because it is being made into a movie (after 20 odd years). Here’s the trailer below. Believe me. There are a LOT of people who will be watching this over an over like a drooling fanboy. Not me though. I am way too cool for that. I will probably post it and not even watch it. Nope. Not me.
So have YOU read it? What did you think? And what do you think of the trailer whether you have watched it or not?
It’s summertime, and that means it is time for idiot summer TV. And we have a nice match-up this summer, with stand-by Big Brother from CBS going up against the new I Love Money on VH1. Now, it is not like they are both on at the same time or anything - so it is really a competition regarding which one is more stupid. Let’s break it down.
Big Brother
Prize is 500k - not chicken feed - but you have to spend like, 14 months in the house to get it, so they earn it.
People seem to play as if they have never watched the show before. This gets frustrating, but it is amusing. People on reality shows: If you are on the bottom of your alliance, switch sides when it gets down to 7 or 5. There is no breaking of this rule. Dummies.
The Challenges where they have to answer questions annoy me. I want people to get hurt, and nobody gets hurt turning a card over.
Julie Chen’s face is made of wood. Petrified wood.
The After Dark on Showtime is the most boring thing you will ever see in your life.
The cast is always supposed to be ‘diverse’ which usually means one of two black people and one or two older people. Sometimes there is an Asian. But not usually. So when Tiger Woods gets old - he will probably be cast right away so the rest of the people can be hot young whiteys.
It’s on three nights a week - or five, it’s ALWAYS on.
People have to eat slop.
I Love Money
The prize is $250 k. That’s not a lot, but these people get to drink all day in Mexico, so fuck ‘em.
The whole cast is filled with rejects from other VH1 shows I didn’t watch. But one of them is a Jewish guy named White Boy and another is some girl named Toastee who got rejected by Flavor Flav for doing porn. That’s gold.
So far they got rid if a drunk midget and a Dominatrix. That’s who they got RID of.
The first challenge was people hitting each other with flowers tied to sticks on a bed hanging over a lake. And two of the dudes who fought almost fainted after a minute, and they then showed a montage of them smoking. Good stuff.
They are always drunk.
Ok - so I see that I may have written this to try to sway you to I Love Money. But it isn’t true. I want to know which one YOU watch or would watch. And consider the fact that I was going to include The Next Food Network Star (go squinty lady and bald dude!)

Hey! Remember when I used to do this? You don’t? Oh yeah, the bosses say a lot more people come here these days. So, in honor of you new folks, here are a few things I have found; some were easy to locate, some more obscure, but all entertaining unless you don’t like the musicians in the videos, in which case, you’re fucked.
