Aaaah, this is just great. Busted Tees has done it again -

CebUUUUUUUUUU Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center Is Back

According to the note on the video, this was done by popular demand. Thanks to the wonders of the internet, inmates at a prison in the Philippines, made famous by their stirring Thriller choreography, can now take requests. What an age in which we live.

Kanye and White People

This is just hilarious. Kanye West posted it on his blog.

He's also got a pretty amazing midget fight from Jerry Springer on there. Check it out if you can.

So, apparently those writers are actually pretty important. SNL is back and I wonder how many jokes we've been missing as a result of the recently ended strike by the Writers' Guild of America. The 3-month strike has been estimated to have cost Hollywood $2.5 billion.

NBC's Saturday Night Live website is pretty good and you can catch some of the funny segments from the most recent episode. If you saw "There Will Be Blood", you'll like the milkshake bit.

Support Denmark! (Here We Go Again)

Well, 3 guys were just arrested after it was discovered they were plotting to kill the cartoonist who drew this little number -

The intended victim? Kurt Westergaard, a 73 year-old man. I guess I'm going to have go back to the store and by some havarti cheese and some Carlsberg beer. Be careful, Carlsberg is strong.

This is an email I sent to friends just over 2 years ago. I can't believe it's been that long. -

This whole thing is so outrageous that it is hard to put my thoughts in writing calmly. A brief synopsis for those who don’t know what happened:

-A Danish newspaper published some cartoons (back in September of 2005) depicting Mohammed - blasphemy in Islam

-The cartoons have been republished in various publications across Europe, most notably a Norwegian paper as a sign of solidarity and support of freedom of speech

-Saudi Arabia, et. al. are boycotting Danish products and pulling their representatives from their respective consulates, issuing inflammatory statements, etc.

-Beatings and threats of violence and death to nationals of involved European countries have occurred

These threats and claims of outrage come from a nation like Saudi Arabia, where, if caught attempting to spread Christianity, one can be put to death. It boggles the mind.

We can pitch in and make an effort to buy Danish products like Havarti cheese, Carlsberg beer, etc. to counter the boycott. Check out this link for further information:

I’ve attached the only funny Danish cartoon of the twelve that has inflamed such outrage in the Muslim world:

“Islam is a dynamite religion”

Bill Simmons has written a fantastic piece about Super Bowl XLII. It is undoubtedly more interesting than an article about a Patriots' win would have been.

This is the last item on Simmons' "I will forever remember eight things about Super Bowl XLII"-

"Finally, can you guess the last thing we heard as we were walking (OK, hustling) out of the stadium right after the final play? That's right, it was the sound of euphoric Giants fans chanting, 'Eighteen and one! Eighteen and one! Eighteen and one!' Yes, it's safe to say the Boston-New York rivalry has been taken to new heights. As a tennis umpire would say, 'Advantage, New York.'"

It's a funny chant, but I'm disappointed to say that New York is now Boston and Boston is New York. That is exactly the kind of "Yankees Suck" cheer you'd here from bitter Boston fans of not too long ago.
