Jon Stewart Out Glen Becks Glen Beck Yet Again

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

On last night’s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, the country’s most trusted newscaster borrowed a page from Glen Beck’s faulty Fox playbook and once again took to the chalkboard to give us exactly one million reasons why Fox News may not be as “fair and balanced” as they claim to be. Shocker.

More from The Daily Show and Jon Stewart:

Super Sexy Abdominal Thrusts are Best Done From Behind

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

Following the highly successful “Super Sexy CPR” video, the ad geniuses pushing Canada’s Fortnight Lingerie have come up with another super informative clip to help yourself help others in need with “Super Sexy Abdominal Thrusts”. Although not quite as titillating as “Super Sexy CPR”, you can’t deny “Super Sexy Abdominal Thrusts’” super suggestive (inter)raciness.

From the Super Sexys:

“Now that we’ve got you interested in learning CPR and the abdominal thrust, go get properly certified by taking a class through one of the many certifying authorities in your local area.”

The Lost Questions of Lost

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

So Lost is finally over and I’ve never felt so emotionally content yet so intellectually unfulfilled since the last time I ate a fried apple pie from McDonalds. And like the millions of “others” out there who bid the show about purgatory which wasn’t actually purgatory adieu, I’m still left with unanswered questions. Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of unanswered questions. Fortunately, the College Humor kids have gathered them all up in a nice little package for us to go “oh yeah, WTF did happen with that shit?!”.

Alsowas Bart right and it was all just a dog’s dream?

Bart Simpson’s Chalkboard is Alive!

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

After posting Bart Simpson’s Lost finale spoiler yesterday, I thought it would be apro-pro to see more of the boy’s blackboard shenanigans-but this time in real life!

The cheeky Brit’s of London’s marketing firm Work Club have decided that the best way to come up with creative ideas is in an office where they’re constantly reminded of Bart’s chalkboard musings. And you thought it involved a tank full of manatees.

Jimmy Kimmel and Bart Simpson’s Aloha to LOST

Monday, May 24th, 2010

So last night’s Lost finale was filled with everything we’ve come to expect from one of the best shows to ever make us stare at televisions: excellent acting, cryptic circumstance, unresolved loves and lot’s of sad piano music. Lots and lots and lots of sad piano music.

After the final episode on ABC, our favorite castaways since Gilligan were honored on Jimmy Kimmel Live as Jimmy gave his own Aloha to Lost. In one of the more tender moments from the show, a video montage titled “LOST in Your Eyes” recounted the most memorable lip touching scenes along with the shows greatest hits. Literally.

Also…what was going on with Bart and The Simpsons on Fox while the rest of the world was watching the Lost finale:
