Wrapup: Supplies are limited! Act now!

Posted by Jeff in alfred einstein, british people, commemorative reprints, Election 2008, gnarls barkley, president obama, wrapup

Ever wanted to truly own a piece of history?  By popular demand, we are now offering commemorative reprints of the 2.0somethings front page with the historic news of Barack Obama’s barrier-breaking election to the executive office, handsomely framed in fine woods and with a shiny brass plaque.

This piece of contemporary pop art can be yours for the low, low price of $80. But make sure to act soon, because we’ve limited production to 1200 pieces!  It’s a perfect gift for anyone!

Product of the Liberian Mint.  Not legal tender.

• News to me: you can change your name online for $20.
• Einstein’s problem solving tips.  I’m not so sure why they think this Einstein fellow is so great though.
• New Gnarls Barkley video, embedded for your pleasure after the jump.

OMG TV: From Wolf to Worf

Posted by Jeff in American Gladiators, betty white, gnarls barkley, Jim Webb, omg tv, philip weiss, robert smigel, roman polanski, russell brand, star trek, tom brokaw

Yes, it’s summer.  Yes, this is going to be painful to get through, but we’re going to do it together, dammit.  So here, take my hand, and let’s channel surf our fears away…

8:00 – American Gladiators (NBC)

They take this “contestants must have sob stories” thing way, way, way too far sometimes.  Tonight: a Columbine survivor.  Really.  He beat Klebold and Harris, but can he withstand the sheer lunacy of Wolf??

9:00 – Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired (HBO)

I believe this made-for-TV documentary is essentially a step by step how-to guide for when you need to roofie an underage girl in your hot tub.

10:00 – Star Trek: The Next Generation “Q-Who?” (Sci-Fi)

Look, if we’re gonna make it through the summer, we’re going to have to watch some syndicated reruns.  Try this on for size: the debut of the Borg in the Star Trek universe, featuring that fanciful lad Q.  You’re going to have to trust me, I promise this is better than Oxygen’s Ocean’s 12 marathon.  Cross my heart.

Late Night

Tom Brokaw and Gnarls Barkley on Dave, some British guy named Russell Brand on Leno, Robert Smigel on Conan, Betty White on Ferguson (nice), vice presidential hopeful Sen. Jim Webb on the Daily Show, and writer Philip Weiss on Colbert.
