Goodbye Kitty, Hello $$$!

Seriously, Sanrio are marketing geniuses. Have you been on the internet the last coupe of days? “Oh my god! What do you mean Hello Kitty is a human girl and not a cat?!?!? Forget Gaza! Forget Robin Williams! Fuck the Ice Bucket Challenge! This is an outrage! I’m calling my congressman! Someone get Liam Neeson…

Gay Men reading 50 Shades of Grey

I want to issue a very sincere public thank you to Amber Love and through her the Huffington Post, for showing me what is clearly the best thing on the internet ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLMkdeeOsYTkONEQeaBxqH1ZVtAIfwBw2H&v=zZTSxQIxsiA#t=444 I’ve enjoyed reading since I was about two years old. 38 years. It’s been a good run. Well it’s over now. I…

on the ALS Ice Water Challenge

Confessions of an insomniac. These are the things I think about at 3am. I saw someone on Facebook innocuously ask earlier “exactly how does dumping ice water on your head help people with Lou Gehrig’s disease?” and I therein realized a small flaw in the whole life-meme thing. It’s sort of just become like a thing now.…

Kari Byron in FHM ©2006 In the future, all celebrities will be interactively programmed by twitter group think! This future will be a wonderful magical place!

George R. R. Martin Won’t Kill Your Kid…

What kind of a heartless bastard refuses to kill a 13 year old kid? Uh…  wait…. From Uproxx.com: http://uproxx.com/tv/2014/07/george-r-r-martin-responds-to-a-heartfelt-letter-from-13-year-old-fan-asking-to-die-a-grisly-death/ Alas, I cannot promise you a grisly death in THE WIND OF WINTER. Those spots have already been filled by some very generous donors, and there’s a limit to how many people even I can kill. However,…

Lucy Lawless to be on Agents of SHIELD

Huh… so apparently, Lucy Lawless has signed on for next season’s Agents of SHIELD. Because clearly, like George Takei, Mark Hammill and Summer Glau before her, she has realized that there is no point whatsoever to taking any role that can’t raise her autograph fee at comicons is useless and to be avoided at all costs. And…

Fantasy Casting Black Superhero Movies

So during my rant the other day on why I think Falcon SHOULDN’T become Captain America, I had a sidebar tangent about Truth: Red, White & Black, a brilliant graphic novel wherein Captain America finds out that in order to refine the Super Soldier Serum, the US Military experimented on 300 expendable black soldiers because, you…
