Month: April 2003

As much as I dislike Rush Limbaugh, I have to say that this is pretty funny. In a parody of Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf’s (AKA Baghdad Bob) absurdly exaggerated denials of U.S. progress, Rush Limbaugh aired a story claiming that Baghdad Bob was reporting that Iraqi troops had taken Shea Stadium. Several extremely dimwitted viewers believed this report and telephoned news stations, asking why they hadn’t reported this as well. I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised considering who these people are listening to, but c’mon!

The DVD that avid cinephiles have been waiting years for has finally arrived! Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo will be available on DVD next week, April 15, 2003. MGM has a description of this cinematic tour de force, although for some reason reviewers at IMDB have drastically underrated this classic. Granted, it can’t possibly reach the stratospheric heights attained by its predecessor, Breakin’, but the mere fact that it approaches the level of this unattainable classic speaks volumes for the series’ staying power. Reserve your copy now! 🙂

In light of the recent SARS epidemic, I can think of few gaffes worse than a recent series of magazine ads telling readers a visit to Hong Kong will “take your breath away.”

Today’s color is brun et blanc. It’s the color of le bratwurst and le sauerkraut. Apparently, the Germans are so offended by our renaming of french fries to freedom fries, they are replacing all the English words they use with French ones. Some examples are “driver” for “chauffeur”, “playboy” for “bon vivant” and “okay” for “formidable”. Les Allemands et les Français sont tous stupides.

April Winchell has collected a staggeringly large and varied amount of MP3 songs of various celebrities as well as unusual covers and other songs. “Celebrity” and “unusual” are meant in the worst possible sense, with categories like “TV Stars Who Insist On Singing,” “ABBA covers in Hindi,” “Learn Italian With Fabio,” “Terrifying Christian Recordings,” “Selections from Roger’s library of excretia,” and a lot more. I have yet to fully explore the depths of this site, but some of the songs are mesmerizingly bad… 🙂
