Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!
citationneeded:
In 1982, while still a castmember, Eddie Murphy was asked to host the show in place of his 48 Hrs. co-star, Nick Nolte. Murphy altered the line to “Live from New York, it’s the Eddie Murphy Show!” While it was probably an accurate depiction of the state of the show at the time, the other castmembers were nonetheless annoyed by this.

What I'm listening to right now
Because you clearly give two shits about what I’m listening to. I’ll try to make this as pretentious as possible by using similes and relating it to coal mines and whatnot.
Hooray for Earth is really good, because their latest album (True Loves) is like everything I want in half-decent electronic music while at the same time being slightly difference because they use guitars. How neat...

Glitter on Twitter: A social experiment →

If you’re reading this, you’re obviously here because of the @OfficialGlitter Twitter account.
Firstly, let me say that this account does not belong to convicted paedophile Gary Glitter. I am deeply disgusted by what Gary Glitter has done in his life and am not condoning, making light…
Oh wow, this guy who created the “official” Gary Glitter Twitter account...

Going back and listening to Nine Inch Nails again - whom I was depressingly really into a few years ago (especially when I was sick and I played Year Zero back to back for weeks). I now feel like I have the intestinal fortitude to get the Dragon Tattoo soundtrack.

So WIkipedia is down for 24 hours (well, 23.5 hours as of now). This means if I have an urge to know everything there is about the 1960 Danish rugby union, or the intricacies of grasshopper mating, there’s no one-stop website with all that information in one handy place, meaning I have to do some actual fucking research. And why would I do that? Fucking SOPA.

Black Mirror - 15 Million Merits
Once again, Charlie Brooker writes something that everyone is complaining about, which is the depressing nature of modern society. This time, talent shows are the target in the war on culture. You know, the ones where three assholes criticise you or praise you and then you end up on the Royal Variety Performance and you sell out like a completely fucking piece of shit that you are.
The story is...

Black Mirror - The National Anthem
So I watched Black Mirror’s first episode. It’s written by Charlie Brooker who is one of those people who really hates things. So you know it’s a lighthearted, charming television programme on the most happy of channels (I’m kidding, it’s cynical and sad and on Channel 4). The idea that satire has to be funny only shows that most people don’t know what...

Once again, Jeremy Clarkson is in trouble for something he said that most people know he didn’t mean. Gotta shift those books and DVDs, eh? [The Guardian]

Lighten up, everybody and stop bitching about...
As usual Jeremy Clarkson is in trouble for saying things on television. It’s not the first time and it certainly won’t be the last. He is on a show where he says the most surreal and dumb things possible, and he makes a lot of money from it. The BBC makes a lot of money from it. People are watching it (myself included). Indeed, Top Gear is one of the most successful properties the BBC...

Aliens will read our Internet comments and want to...
Internet comments are what is wrong with humanity. It allows people who shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near people the chance to say whatever they like, no matter how stupid, baseless, uninformed or pretentious it may be. Before websites thought of allowing users to leave their ideas on the bottom of a website, people had to go through hoops to make their opinions known (or write to Points of...

Because everyone loves a fucking countdown, right? There have been albums I hated but then I enjoyed, and albums I liked and then realised made me a terrible person. It’s not really in any order, except the number one album is the best thing ever.

The problem with Facebook
There are lots of problems with Facebook. But you probably knew that.
A very big problem is that new Facebook social reading thing. Basically some news sites have partnered with Facebook so people on your friends list know what you’re reading. I like to read some snobbish Guardian articles so people think I’m better than them. Which I am (in relation to my friends on Facebook). The...

Outnumbered
I’m a fan of Modern Family. A very big fan. The idea of a show that takes a look at the boring life of a family intrigues me. Mostly because I have a family. But I just started watching Outnumbered, a BBC programme featuring the king of the panel shows, Hugh Dennis as a father. And guess what?
It’s hilarious.
There’s an obvious parallel between the two shows. I won’t do...

In case you haven’t noticed, pizza is now a vegetable according to the US Congress. It only plays into the widely-held belief that politicians are complete idiots.
From The Guardian:
So, in a country where fertilised eggs are people and assembling burgers is a manufacturing job, and berries are better in the form of shoe leather, why not call a sugary fruit paste sauce that comes out of...
