Oh my god, I may go gay for Keith Olberman. Tonight's Special Commentary was the most open, outright, and well-voiced bitchslap of The Shrub ever.

Just a small reminder: 63 years ago, in a small schoolhouse in Germany, the war in Europe finally came to an end after six years of wholesale slaughter that has never been seen since. Four of my uncles we part of the Allied forces, two in the Pacific, two in Europe. One of them was a POW in Germany for two years. The other one of the first people to enter Buchenwald. Both are long dead, but I still thank them for the effort they and millions of others made to end the greatest nightmare of the 20th Century.

It's good to see Milk & Cheese back and as homicidal as ever. Especially given the target they take on this time:

Furry fandom enters the zeitgeist. And the hospital. And the morgue.

This new update for TF2 is great! Especially all the medic achievements. I actually prefer to play pyro, but I'm racking up massive kills and other points because enemy teams seem to be half medic...

Q: People always talk about your outlandish fascinations. Do you have any normal ones?
A: I do love The Chipmunks. I’m erotically obsessed with Alvin. I talk about that on my Christmas show, how I wanted to have sex with Alvin and the Chipmunks. And a real animator—I’m not going to tell you what period he was from—just drew one for me of Alvin jerking off. One of the best fan presents I ever got.

Q: What’s arousing about a chipmunk?
A: Nothing! But the idea that you’re so excited that you suddenly turn into another voice by getting worked up: "Alvin. . . Alvin . . .ALVIN!!! OKAY!" It’s beyond speed. It’s like you’re at the wrong speed. I’ve always lived my life at the wrong speed, I think, so I kind of love the idea. It’s probably the only thing everybody else likes that I like.

Q: Albeit in a far different context.
A: Well, maybe people don’t have the nerve to say it—that they’re at home masturbating and looking at Alvin. Maybe Details readers may want to write in and say that they, too, are attracted to him.

Someone want to try to get him to AC this year? =};-3

Word has just reached me from Cartoon Brew that Ollie Johnston, last of Walt Disney's "Nine Old Men," has passed away today at the age of 96. Thanks for everything, Ollie.

This morning, as I brushed by NBC on the way to watching another episode of "The Deadliest Catch," I saw a piece on the "Today" show where a Marine who had lost a leg in Iraq had convinced his superiors to let him go back to full combat duty.

Message intended:

Our Marines are full of spirit and spunk, and medicine has made it possible for them to get back on the battleline with their buddies to give their all.

Message delivered:

Things are so fucked up in Iraq, and troop levels so low, that we're willing to stick a one-legged man back into that hellhole.

That said message was then interrupted by The Shrub's release of the Iraq Intel report just made the incongruity all the more glaring. Timing, the essence of comedy.

U.S. Olympic Committee chairman Peter Ueberroth said in a statement that the event was crucial for San Francisco. The relay is "an important moment for the city to show its character, hospitality and commitment to peace and tolerance," he said.

Aaaaaaand holding the Olympics in a country with the worst civil rights record since Berlin in '36 (not to mention an environmental record from Hades) promotes peace and tolerance how, Petey? Would you hold a weight loss clinic in an all-you-can-eat buffet? How about a medical conference at a tobacconist? Or a VD clinic at a whorehouse? (Strike that last one. I'd actually GO if such were the case.)

Blow me. I hope the protesters fire hose the thing.

AWESOME!

As I stare at myself in the mirror this morn, I am reminded of the fable where God took a hundred pounds of clay and made man. What it fails to mention is that shortly afterwards, he added a hundred pounds of hair and made Italians.

A small segment from Research #11: Pranks. (available here: http://www.researchpubs.com/books/prankprod.php) This is from an interview with Mark Pauline where he is asked what makes a bad prank. When you look across the internet today and gaze at a sea of rickrolling, badly made-up stories, swapped home pages, or other useless shenanigans, think of this:

"A bad prank is like dropping a lead ball out of a window. A prank should have a resonance and a ring to it. It should speak of the higher aspirations of human activity. it should go far beyond the limitations one would expect it to have. That's what pranks are all about: the unexpected - the element of surprise transposed onto some kind of poignant act that ultimately is a violence against the society. Just like 'literature' means violence against commonplace language, and represents an organized attack against the complacency of thoughts and conversation.

"Pranks are a constructed, fabricated attack against the framework of the society. They're like a bursting out. Society paints us all into a corner and the whole point of pranks is to open a trap door and escape! That's how I see a good prank.

"A bad prank essentially lacks all those elements, and a worse prank lacks all those and adds things like gratuitous cruelty. In the same way that a good prank resonates and sheds light on things, a bad prank is almost like a black hole - you look at it and groan 'Oh, god.' It robs your soul. A bad prank supports the status quo."

Nothing supports status quo more than allowing pranks to happen only on a specific day set aside by the social structure. Want to do a really good prank? Well, the Republican National Convention is just a few months away...

Remember, kids:

Some of you may know of Zenfox around here, who is dealing with reality giving him a bit of a bitchslap. He's got a lovely commission over on Furbid that's a collaboration between himself and babsbunny for sale, and he could use the dinero. If I had money, I'd buy it myself, but least I can do is spread the word.
