  • CPB Gutted by House Bill

    What Newt Gingrich began years ago is finally coming to a head: House Appropriations Committee has voted to zero-out funding to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. We’re talking about $1.20 per person in the United States of America to support Public Broadcasting. … [O]nce stations start to go off the air, those stations in the […]

  • X-Files Mythology Series

    Thank God. I didn’t want to have to buy all the seasons to watch what I really wanted – the ‘mythology’ episodes of X-Files. The first set is out now.

  • Voiceover Actors Whine That Celebs Take Their Work

    “Nowadays, you can be unbelievable and you still won’t get a job in an animated cartoon, ’cause you have to be a celebrity now,” Billy West, a voice-over artist, told FOX News. As celebrities bask in the limelight, professional voice actors are being left out in the cartoon cold. The star appeal of celebrity voices […]

  • House Committee Votes to Kill Money for Children's Public Television

    A House subcommittee voted Thursday to sharply reduce the federal government’s financial support for public broadcasting, including eliminating taxpayer funds that help underwrite such popular children’s educational programs as “Sesame Street” and “Arthur.” In addition, the subcommittee acted to eliminate within two years all federal money for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting – which passes […]

  • Russel Crowe: American Asshole

    The way Russel Crowe acts to ‘the help’ makes me think he must have gotten his American citizenship. Beating up subordinates and being a general prick to everyone – sounds like us to me! I always hate when talented people are jerks and I’ve often been told to cast a great performer that has an […]

  • Sly Stallone to Slog Through Rambo 4

    T and I were just talking about militarist utopia yesterday. Holy Christ – it is the 80s all over again. Again. Rambo coming out of retirement. Why don’t we just bring back the Rubik’s cube?

  • FCC Urged to Address Anti-Gay Statements in Spanish TV

    Efforts of GLAAD and LGBT Latino activists have brought attention to a problem the Latino community has faced for a long time: the lack of FCC regulations enforcement in the Spanish-language media. With only one Spanish speaker in the FCC’s enforcement department abuse of standards and regulations has become the norm for Latino media; this […]

  • Frontline: Memory of the Camps

    If you get a chance to catch this on your local PBS affiliate, do so. If not, download bits when you can: As the troops entered the German concentration camps, they made a systematic film record of what they saw. Work began in the summer of 1945 on the documentary, but the film was left […]

  • Tender Crisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch

    I have enjoyed this commercial – mainly because of the brain dead blonde plucking a burger off the tree and not eating it – but pushing it into her own face with all the joy of a dead man walking. I find the Wake Up With the King commercials as welcoming as a back-alley vassectomy. […]

  • Debra Wilson as Oprah on Mad TV

    I think ‘look fat people eat a lot’ is probably the lowest hanging fruit of comedy along with ‘prissy lispy fag eunuch who serves as fey sidekick’ and ‘aren’t black people talking ghetoo so funny!’ When Debra Wilson does her Oprah on Mad TV it is not funny because of all the ‘Oh my gosh, […]
