Turn up late to a movie and miss the opening ads — no biggie. Turn up late to a Simpsons episode and miss the opening credits — oh, hells no! Each show from the long-running series has a tailor-made introduction.
You'd have to be a serious sourpuss not to giggle during this one. We've seen a few of these taste-tasting tots before, but most are new (lemon fresh?) and equally as entertaining. My fave is the curly haired cutie in the beginning who throws down the lemon in disgust and then throws a diva tantrum.
This video lets the cats out of the bag: They jump. They flip. The hide.
Many people don't watch the news because they think it's too depressing. After hearing these news anchors sputter four months' worth of insincere pleasantries at me, I now need to make the voices stop so I can actually have a good evening. Got Paxil?
The douchebag is everywhere. No matter how much we want to ignore him, he pops up with his arrogance, stupidity, and Ed Hardy shirts!
Since he doesn't seem to be going anywhere, he might as well amuse us.
You gotta love a show that brings a leather-clad punker, a feather-clad drag queen, and some boogie woogie bugle babes to the same stage to eff up the same song. Let's not forget the wannabe back-up dancers who think they can sing and, my personal fave, those who mumble nothing but "na, na, na, na" through the whole song. With talent of this caliber, who needs lyrics?
If we consider all of the crumbling pyramids, tackling football players, and failed flip attempts these chicks endure on a daily basis — all in the name of school spirit (with a little popularity on the side, natch) — then we just might have a teensy bit of sympathy for these high-ponytailed divas. Or not.
Since when are children's cartoon characters passive-aggressive a-holes? The following clips were gathered from a single season of The Legends of Zelda, an animated series based on the popular Nintendo games. The show didn't last long and it's no wonder why.
Ireland released an extensive report yesterday revealing that more than one thousand children were beaten, neglected, or raped at Catholic reform schools. The five-volume accounting took nine years to compile and covers six decades, but it doesn't include a single name of a priest, brother, or nun who abused children at the Catholic institutions. A religious order in question successfully sued the government in 2004 to keep the names secret.
Can anyone explain Twitter to non-Twitterers? Not really. But Samantha Bee, The Daily Show's "tech correspondent," did her best last night.
