Jesus Christ. Well, when you're wrong, you're wrong. I'm big enough to admit it.

Movies: Ghost Rider Opens Cold
Ever since hearing of this project, my guts have turned cold and stony. Whatever fool thought it wise to cast Nick Cage as Ghost Rider should be drawn and quartered. Well, alright, that's a stock reply from me regarding Nick Cage, but whatever. From the article:

Sony is dodging opening-day print reviews for "Ghost Rider,'' which opens a week from Friday. Critics are being invited to the premiere the night before the opening as well as a "courtesy'' screening on Friday, which means reviews will be buried in the Saturday papers.

Britney no lesbian
It's been confirmed in an independent lab full of scientists and Nobel laureates in Physics and Astronavigation: Britney Spears is no lesbian. Apparantly, it's some kind of smear campaign from K-Fed (AKA "Burger Boy") in their divorce battle. K-Fed's producer, Omar 'Iceman' Sharif, says of Britney, "Britney was into threesomes and girls. There was tons of porn in the house - but it was mostly Britney's." What kind of a world is this, dear readers, in which young, innocent Britney Spears is accused of being a highly sexualized person? It's enough to make me physically ill.

Senator Carl Krueger Thinks iPods Can Kill You
Well, file this under, "Get back to work ya bum." Apparantly, Senator Carl Krueger believes that by using a mobile electronic device you're putting yourself in mortal danger. From the article:

Yes, [Senator Krueger] is planning to introduce a law which would make the use of the iPod, the BlackBerry or any other handheld illegal, when crossing the streets of New York. No matter how funny or weird that might sound to you, his intentions are pretty serious. He claims that the number of fatal accidents caused by what he calls “the iPod oblivion” is increasing in New York and as an example he brings the case of a young man who died last month.

Seriously, guy, aren't we currently at war? Better things to do, perhaps?

Shower habits by gender
A video showing the showering habits of men vs. the showering habits of women. For the record, I have never drawn a penis in the fog on the mirror after a shower, but I may have shaken my wiener and made the "woo woo!" sound.

David Lee Roth Re-Joins Van Halen for Summer Tour - Music News - Playfuls.com - Fun & Entertainment
Diamond Dave, Mr. Gigalo, re-joins the band with the record for the most number one hits on Billboard's rock list. Rejoins them again. No, really, this time they're rejoined. Dave and the band. Rejoined. Again. Together. To record rock-and-roll. Not to threaten each other, no, no, no. That was... an accident? No, to get along. Yes. To record some rock-and-roll. Together. Again.

PS2 Sales Likely to Surpass PS3 Sales in 2007 and 2008
Vindicated. That's how I feel. For every conversation I've ever had about the PS3, it's ginormous price tag, and hasty rollout schedule. For that kid in Radio Shack who made fun of me for desiring a Wii instead of a PS3, I say, "In your face." For that co-worker that called the PS3 the "Cadillac of consoles" I say, "DeLorean, maybe." To all of the game developers who dropped their PS3 titles to concentrate on the Xbox 360 and the Wii, I say, "Forward-thinking." The PS3 is in deep doo-doo, and Sony and Blue-ray along with it. And let this be a warning to future generations of console manufacturers on how to take a solid brand and send it straight to the bottom of the ocean.
