‘Ginger’ may be a motorized scooter. How DUMB is that? Every kid on the planet got one of the non-motorized versions for Christmas this year, and by next year they’ll all be forgotten. And most grown-ups who jumped on the bandwagon have hopefully managed to figure out that they look like complete assholes on them.…

Max is gonna love this: “Nudist ‘not a public nuisance.’” This is why I love British people. This guy’s been going around naked for, like, a year because he wants laws against public nudity to be changed. Every few months there’d be another newspaper cover story about him, along with an image of him riding…

Wow. Apparently that error in “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” where James came out of the wand before Lily, has been corrected in recent editions. I tried to find information on this in the various HP Yahoo clubs, but most of them are just filled with hundreds of kids squealing “Sort me PLEEAZE!”.…

Roger Ebert reviews “Antitrust”, an intelligent and exciting thriller about open-source software… starring Ryan Phillipe. *pause* Uh-huh, riiiiight. I can’t wait to see the scene where he logs on to slashdot and posts Natalie-Portman-covered-in-hot-grits trolls. (For the record, Ebert thought it was goofy. Oh, and there are no boys on slashdot that look remotely like…

I’m not a fan of excessive punishments for minor drug offenders, but I do think that if a politician is gonna push the conservative “War on Drugs” agenda, he should be prepared to accept all the consequences of that. So why did the nephew of attorney-designate Ashcroft only get probation after major pot bust? Was…

Ugh. I can’t believe I’m actually going to sit through “Lost Souls” this weekend just to get a glimpse of the “Lord of the Rings” trailer. At least all of you in the States will be able to make fun of Kevin Costner’s Bah-ston accent. Meanwhile I’ll be yawning and trying to pinpoint the exact…

PurpleWeasels.org has been hacked. The offending person was, of course, Kelly McMahon. Please disregard any offensive posts she may have made, and may God have mercy on her soul. (And have you seen that picture of her crotch from the tailgater? Red underpants are only for Valentine’s Day, Kel.)

“Scientists Genetically Engineer a Monkey.” They named it ANDi, which is a backwards acronym for “inserted DNA”. I don’t like that name. It reminds me of “D.A.R.Y.L.”, that movie starring Barret Oliver as a “Data Analyzing Robot Youth Lifeform” that I was obsessed with back in 1985. I think both cloned monkeys and android boys…

I got e-mail from R.E.M.! Their new album’s coming out in May and it’s gonna be called “Reveal.” Bertis says: “It is difficult to describe in words the sound of this record, but I’ll stick with my original thoughts of ‘lush, atmospheric, and melodic.’ After repeated listenings I would add things like ‘layered’ and ‘dynamic.’”…
