Parents Against Prop 8

The No On Prop 8 campaign released a video featuring parents going against the discriminatory initiative in California. Proponents of Prop 8 seem to frequently get all Helen Lovejoy on us: "Won't somone please think of the children?"

The video's after the jump.

Nekkid Punkin Run

Hallowe'en revelers in Boulder, Colo., held their tenth annual Naked Pumpkin Run. Police cited 12 runners with indecent exposure, and likened them to highway speeders.

Highway speeders? Seriously?! An excerpt from the article and video of the event after the jump.

Dire Straits, 'Money for Nothing'

You know, I could've taken the time to find a "scary" music video that didn't involve Michael Jackson. Instead, I picked out a classic video that emphasized MTV's place in popular culture. Kinda fitting really, since MTV rolled out a new site where not only can you …

My Most Interesting Flickr Shot, Appropriate for Hallowe'en

A couple of days ago, I noticed a couple of people posted their most interesting photo on their flickr account. One shot of mine in particular received a lot of attention, especially recently. This is despite its age -- over 3 years old.

Regardless, it seems appropriate …

The New (Temporary) Look of Grapefeed

A word on the new design this blog is sporting.

I've been working on redesigning this blog for some time now. This is not the redesign I've been working on.

I've been tired of the previous theme for almost as long as I used it. It was too plain and boring and not …

Donate to No On Prop 8

While I'm not a California resident (yet), I think it's very important that we do what we can to defeat Proposition 8. If you're a California voter, vote NO. If you're out of state, do what I did and make a donation. Every little bit helps. Check out the PSA Samuel L. …

Deserted Candy on C Street

A neighbor leaves a bowl of candy out for trick or treaters to help themselves. Lazy.

... And Knowing is Half the Battle

6 Days

A parody of those animated PSAs attached to just about every "G.I. Joe" episode I've ever seen, featuring Sen. John McCain.

That's Just Shitty

I swear some of the features Google adds to Gmail just border on bizarre. As I composed an email this afternoon, I noticed an emoticon option on the formatting bar. Curious, I clicked it to see what it offered in the way of anthropomorphic smiley faces. The usual …

Fox Can Has LOLz

I don't visit Fox News' web site very often, but when I saw a post on twitter mention that it was "channeling lolcats," I had to see for myself. If they were truly going for the LOLcat thing though, then they should have entered "IZ GUILTY" (GILLTY?) instead.

A Mannequin Hangs in WeHo

8 Days

A West Hollywood couple hung a mannequin dressed like Gov. Sarah Palin from a noose at their home.

You know, as much as I dislike the McCain-Palin ticket and the often insane rhetoric their luddites spew out, this strikes me not only as rather inappropriate, but …

R+S=G?

"The Ren & Stimpy Show" originally ran on Nickelodeon in the early 1990s and was known for being rather risque. It was canceled eventually. Years later, the show resurfaced on Spike as an adult-themed version. I'm assuming the following clip is from that version, and as …

Apple: 'No On Prop. 8'

Following Google's public announcement that it opposes California's Proposition 8, Apple has done the same. The word from the Mothership in Cupertino:

Apple is publicly opposing Proposition 8 and making a donation of $100,000 to the No on 8 campaign. Apple was among the …

Farewell My Fruit Stand

After 23 months, tonight I bade a fond farewell to my part-time job.

Typocalypse, a flickr set of "subliminal messages these fonts are feeding you." My personal favorite is above. Helvetica, Arial and and the much-reviled Comic Sans also appear in this set.

I thought this was too cute not to share.

Let's Talk About the Vajayjay

Thursday night's episode of "Grey's Anatomy" had me rolling out in some much needed laughter. In particular, the following scene featuring Dr. Bailey's rather awkward chat with Dr. Torres about, erm, traveling to "the motherland."
