Upon further inspection, a scientist said it was a harmless spider in the Whole Foods banana.   Gotta love the thorough news media we have nowadays.
It actually was probably a Wacky Wall Walker

TULSA, Okla. – One of the most deadly spiders in the world has been found in the produce section of a Tulsa grocery store. An employee of Whole Foods Market found the Brazilian Wandering Spider Sunday in bananas from Honduras and managed to catch it in a container.
The spider was given to University of [...]

I’m sure many of you out there can relate to these over-the-top lines:
Man on phone: Take me off your list.
Seth Davis: Fine, fine. I’m gonna take you off my list of successful people today.
Seth Davis: What do you mean, you’re gonna pass. Alan, the only people making money passing are NFL quarterbacks and I don’t [...]

You think that $225 Fleetwood Mac ticket was a little steep already?  Now competition is no more.  Live Nation and Ticketmaster are merging.  Now, LN is buying Ticketmaster, so maybe things will change for the better, so … nah, I doubt it.  I’m prepared to pay $85 to see Lifehouse again ($25 of which will [...]

New study links television watching with depression.  Hmmm.  Only if you are A), watching Mad Men and it is one of those scenes with Betty and creepy-10-year-old Glenn or B), watching Two and a Half Men wondering why it is on the air while Arrested Development got cancelled.
Christian Bale went nuts on the set of [...]

Another guest post from our resident hipster, @crosberg!
You know who I feel sorry for right now? White people. Especially white people trying to talk about Michelle and Barack Obama. After listening to MSNBC anchors awkwardly interviewing guests who said “you can tell he has a sense of rhythm, which is a nice [...]

Kudos to Robert Schneider and the Apples In Stereo.  Their ditty “Energy” was picked up by Pepsi for a giant new 2009 ad campaign.
Here’s the ad featuring the catchy song:

Robert lives in my hometown when not traveling and used to patronize my now-defunct vintage/junque store quite often.  He is a laid back family man, and [...]

By this point, everyone with an eye on the news and pop culture has heard the tragedy of Jett Travolta, 16-year-old son to John Travolta and Kelly Preston.  My heart goes out to them and his sister.  Elsewhere in the land of gone-before-their-time, John Costelloe, best known for playing Vito’s lover “Johnny Cakes” in The [...]

TR Knight, fed up with his unchallenging storylines and the stupidity of it all, is looking to leave Grey’s Anatomy.  Or, you know, maybe T.R. was just participating in “Day WIthout a Gay.”  What is with the medical dramas and the rotating casts?  It might be a positive … E/R has been on the air [...]

In this time of goodwill, it is truly more blessed to give than to receive.  Unless you are giving thoughtless crap.  These presents are when someone cares enough to spend a little cash.  Personally, I’d prefer McDonald’s gift certificates.
1. Fruitcake. The epitome of bad gifts, the number one re-gifted abomination.  A dense concoction containing [...]

Jay Leno, a-number-one hack, douche, and material thief, was yanked out of retirement before retirement even began.  Not only will he continue to “treat” America to his “humor,” he’ll be able to do it in primetime.  10ET/9CT, five goddamned days a week.  Will people then just go to bed earlier and ignore Conan completely?
A week [...]

Pamela Anderson showed up for an art show, missing her pants.  I’ve always defended the girl in a decidedly platonic way.  I find her endearing and sweet.  But damn, her cries for attention are getting embarrassing. Also?  Why does her clutch purse say “Soup” on it?
Time released its list of the best 10 movies of [...]

Just a joke people!   Shocking juxtaposition is what makes it interesting and thought-provoking … and maybe funny?

Hot damn, you can always count on the folks at Defamer.com to find the gems. In this here economy, which is to say, sh*tty, people are bidding to spend their Christmas bonus - and then some - on the Christmas Story experience, offered up on eBay. That’s right. Watch in horror [...]

Expectations are so low for next Week’s post-Thanksgiving capitalistic mosh pit shopping day aka “Black Friday”, that electronics retailer Best Buy announced today that they will actually be paying customers up to $200 to take home certain Notebook Computers and Plasma HD TVs.
“While this certainly is an unusual business strategy,” a BB spokesmodel said, “we [...]

It’s that time of year … to brainwash women into thinking a slave-mined blood rock from Africa makes them feel more loved …

The “He went to Jared’s!” commercials are the worst … if I was a woman, I would feel personally offended by them.
There aren’t that many good parodies of those terrible commercials, here is [...]

Thanks to Cheap Suits and STL Today, website of the St Louis Post-Dispatch, for this sad imagry.  Anheuser-Busch, American mainstay, creator of Busch and Budweiser and the WHAZZUP! ad campaign that haunted a generation, has gone global with the InBev merger.  The new logo was released today.  It’s a sad day in Mudville.  Mudville being [...]

Last Tuesday, Barack Obama handily cruised to victory, becoming the first minority present of the United States.  Here here!  It was the likely end of the road for the 72-year old John McCain, but could be just the beginning for a spunky little woman named Sarah Palin, who went from little-known governor to global sensation [...]
