The Simpsons: Who Doesn't Love the Opening Credits?

GiggleSugar — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 02:00:00 -0800

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. The family always meets up at the couch, but what happens when they get there is unpredictably off-the-wall. In case you ever missed any of the fun, here's a cram sesh:

The Ultimate Baby Vs. Lemon Compilation

GiggleSugar — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 09:00:00 -0700

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. (What I want to know is, why is everyone feeding their babies lemons? Did I miss the news on the scurvy epidemic?!)

The Whole Kitten Kaboodle In One Video!

This video lets the cats out of the bag: They jump. They flip. The hide. They attack. They fall. They tip-toe. They climb. They skinny-dip. They cacti-fight. They peek-a-boo and see you. Not to mention my favorite of things they do- they engage in some interspecies snugglin'...mmmmeow.

Good Riddance to Good Evening!

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?

Top 10 Quotes From The Quotable Douchebag

TresSugar — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 04:00:00 -0700

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. Which brings me to The Quotable Douchebag: A Treasury of Spectacularly Stupid Remarks, bravely compiled by Margaret McGuire. The book not only has a pretty great explanation of how literal douchebags came to describe real-life douchelords, the quotes are incredible and hard to believe. Brace yourselves. The following quotes are just the tip of the doucheberg . . .

I Love Rock 'n' Idol!

GiggleSugar — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 02:30:00 -0800

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?

Cheerleaders Sure Do Have It Rough. . .

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.

Captain Sassafras Has a Limited Vocabulary

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. One can listen to a broken record for only so long. . .

Ireland Released Five Volumes on Abuses, But No Names

TresSugar — Thu, 21 May 2009 08:30:00 -0700

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. Thus, the perpetrators of rape and other physical, emotional, and sexual abuse are free from criminal prosecutions. Now victims say they've been cheated of justice.

While the victims feel vindicated by the inquiry, many maintain that they never would have opened their wounds if they knew it would result in zero criminal accountability. The report did offer over 20 ways the government could address the wrongs, including: building a monument, improving child protection services, and providing counseling to the victims. The Catholic Church in Ireland has also apologized.

Do you think the perpetrators should be brought to justice in the courts?

The Daily Show Explains Twitter, Sort Of

CitizenSugar — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 11:30:48 -0800

Can anyone explain Twitter to non-Twitterers? Not really. But Samantha Bee, The Daily Show's "tech correspondent," did her best last night. She summed up why the media and Congress have gone gaga over it ("we're rotting corpses, Jon, grabbing for a glimmer of relevance"). And how it fulfills the need for quick bits of information (almost, anyway: She's also on Grunter for people who are too busy to read Tweets, or if that's too precious, "Twits"). Check out the clip, which also compiles some of the best and worst tweets from Congress!
