Made By Betty

Yes, she may be at the saturation point of celebrity (just about too much), but she keeps making funny stuff:

OK Go-- White Knuckles

Yet another great video from this group.

Spanish Protester Fires Rocket

Oops...

Drunken dildo fight

Yes, you read that right: dildo



That is one huge-ass phallus.
I'd hate to run into the woman who uses that bad boy...

Walking Dead Opening Titles

Not the official ones-- but a kick-ass, fan-made clip that makes me want to see this show even more:



Premiere Halloween Night on AMC.
This show is gonna rock!

Here's the bio from the creator of this little masterpiece:

Daniel M. Kanemoto is a writer/director whose 1999 debut, A LETTER FROM THE WESTERN FRONT, won the Gold Medal for Best Animated Short at the Student Academy Awards. For the past decade, Dan's diverse body of work (from feature films to national commercial campaigns) has been featured on Nickelodeon, MTV, the Discovery Channel, and film festivals around the world.


Dan was raised in northcentral Wisconsin and is a 1998 graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts film program. He hates writing about himself in the third person, but pretty much loves everything else about making movies.

Looks like he can be found at http://vimeo.com/danielkanemoto

Fatal Attractions; Animal Planet.  8 pm CST. Season Premiere.


Saturday, 10/9

Law & Order: UK; BBC America.  8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Yep-- the series even got a British spin-off (now in its third season across the pond), which debuts in The States today.
Battlestar Galactica's Jamie Bamber is one of the leads-- as is my mega-huge crush from the last year: Doctor Who's Freema Agyeman. 
I'm so in-- and I'm psyched I get to try out the show before I spend money on the DVD set (Season One currently $30 at Target).  You know, just in case Freema's got a really small part.
Yeah-- I like Agyeman that much.  I'd blind-buy a TV series starring her.

Food Feuds; Food Network.  9 pm CST. Series premiere.

Mountain Bike Human Jump Stunt

You know this can only end in failure...

Farting Dolphin

And, in case you're wondering:

Ol' Dirty Bastard Confuses Drew Barrymore with E.T.

I wonder how high that dude was...

MIke Rowe on QVC

Mike now hosts Dirty Jobs, but, years ago, he hosted the dead time on QVC (late night).

You can just tell he hated that gig...



Here's something I'm wondering: why on Earth does someone have a clip-- from 1992!-- of a QVC show?  Seriously...
You didn't know Rowe would be a "name" 15 years later...
YouTube couldn't even be comprehended in the '90s...
And it's QVC...  QVC!!!
Who the Hell records-- and keeps-- QVC programs on tape?

Real Time New Rules 9/17/10

Yes, Bill is on one side of the debate (and he's done his share of criticizing Obama)-- but I believe he's on the right side (at least when it comes to the whole Obama as American debate).

See Bill kick the TeaBaggers in the nuts on this one.

Stupid debate, stupid to keep feeding bullshit to the rubes at Tea Party rallies; just, plain stupid fringe-Republican nonsense...
