Brendan Fraser Has High Standards

Brendan Fraser is turning down Journey to the Center of the Earth 2 because the paycheck wasn’t big enough. Just kidding! It’s because they couldn’t get “the director he wanted.” No, really. That director is going to instead be involved with a new Clint Eastwood project. Just kidding! The Yogi Bear movie. (Film Drunk)

If you’ve been alternating vomiting and diarrhea due to that case of Bieber Fever you contracted, this is just the cure: A Firefox add-on that will effectively erase Justin Bieber from the internet. (Agent Bedhead)

Just when you forgot about Human Centipede, now you can play it in old school video game form. OK I have to admit, this made me laugh. (i Mockery)

Michael Murray recently reviewed A&E’s “The Runaway Squad,” and the star of the show actually took umbrage with said review and wrote a complaint. Ha ha! Here’s Mr. Murray’s response. (Michael Murray)

Remember that Evil Beet article I linked yesterday about Joe Francis abusing a pregnant woman? Well, he sent them a cease and desist trying to bully them into removing the content of which they are completely in their rights to publish, so let’s all point and laugh at him and his small, ineffectual penis. (Evil Beet)

Can you name which real colleges these fictional characters went to? (mental floss)

So Lindsay Lohan amazingly was able to avoid jail time but is instead ordered to wear an alcohol monitoring device. Hmm. That might actually be worse than jail. At least jail has that hooch they brew in the toilet. (Yeeeah!)

The real life Amityville Horror house is up for sale for just $1.5 million. Um, can I just say, FUCK THAT? You couldn’t pay me $1.5 million to live in that house. (Cinematical)

Ha ha, “Lost” nerds. The series finale garnered just slightly less viewers than the series finale of “Mr. Belvedere.” That was pretty awesome, though, when Mr. Belvedere got married and left the country. (Warming Glow)

I was amazed that soaking your tampons in vodka was actually a thing, but kids have somehow found a way to be even more stupid by taking it in the eye. (YBNBY)

Axe Body Spray has a new “Shirtless Kirk” cologne out, if you’ve always wondered what it’s like to small like the Shat. (Topless Robot)

Here are five reasons why it’s not cool to admit you’re a gamer. I don’t need five reasons, I can sum it up in two words: “sex” and “life.” (Cracked)

Rich over at FourFour made a new supercut video of this past season of “Celebrity Apprentice,” which, in retrospect should have been called “Donald Trump’s Under the Bus.”

Help me out here: What race are Italians?

I guess it was a short step there from the Hispanics.

Find me a bottle of Shirtless Shakespearean Picard, and we're in business.

The vodka eye shot is a real thing? And there are girls who do this?

Dear girlies,

My penis is full of vodka.

Call me!

Spoiler alert, Stacey! Geeeeezzz.

About the site ads --

I loves me some Pajiba. I don't block ads as I recognize the money sites need to keep going, so I'm willing to see a full page ad on the way in.

However, today I got a full page video advertisement blaring in my work speakers. I'm sure people have different lines with ads/banners (due to the prevalence of Adblock), but that one just crossed mine.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

Dear girlies,

Aaaaaand this is one of the many reasons I no longer drink.

Who are these fucking idiots who think that pouring 90 proof in your EYE is a good idea?

Huh. HTML FAIL.

...a bottle of Shirtless Shakespearean Picard...

Patty--WORD.

Anyone surprised by the vodka in the eye thing has clearly never seen the countless YouTube videos of people setting themselves on fire (OMG, fire burns?!) or jumping off roofs onto hard surfaces (OMG, bones break?!) or any other of the ways they seem determined to prove the theory of natural selection. They are providing major opportunities for thesis work for anyone majoring in sociology. This term I'm planning on presenting with Why We're Fucked: Human Idiocy on the Rise. And I'm using both Francis and Lohan to support my work.

Mister Belvedere got married?

Posted by: lubeg at May 25, 2010 1:59 PM

@deadbessie: I'd think I'd be more interested in reading why Brendan Fraser doesn't have a better career. The Quiet American and Gods and Monsters were good roles and films...

Posted by: diane at May 25, 2010 2:00 PM

Considering the LOST finale would make no sense to anyone who hasn't been following the series, and was confusing to even those that had been watching, I'd say the viewership for the finale was pretty darn good. Genre show, and all.

Posted by: logar at May 25, 2010 2:00 PM

I just had to convince my better half that vodka balling was an actual thing. I'm so glad I didn't grow up in the age of YouTube.

Also, I was at the place the ad on home page showed three days ago. That's some minority report shit that will distract me all day......back OFF tom cruise.

Posted by: Um.... at May 25, 2010 2:03 PM

That "cologne" may be the only positive contribution that Axe has ever ever made to humanity. I want some.

I don’t need five reasons, I can sum it up in two words: “sex” and “life.”

I disagree. Plus, I have written testimonials on the merits of dexterous fingers.

I am a gamer. I am also a husband, a father, and I have an active sex life. Did I hit some sort of mythical jackpot or something?

Happy Geek Pride Day, bitches!

Posted by: Snath at May 25, 2010 2:28 PM

Vigorous and chronic masturbation to the point of chaffing does NOT constitute an active sex life.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at May 25, 2010 2:35 PM

Ahahaha..ha...haaaaa.

Fuck you, man.

Posted by: Snath at May 25, 2010 2:43 PM

joe - turn off your speakers, or don't surf non-work related websites at work. problem solved.

No kidding, I was drinking a White Russian when I read this. You have managed the impossible. You stopped me from finishing my drink. I'm now going to have to finish the bottle of vodka with kahlua and juice.

Posted by: peanut at May 25, 2010 2:58 PM

I'm not even looking at the tampon link but...ALL I can think to ask is...wouldn't that sting? Or burn a little? How uncomfortable would that be?!

Posted by: Nadine at May 25, 2010 3:01 PM

The real life Amityville Horror house is up for sale for just $1.5 million. Um, can I just say, FUCK THAT? You couldn’t pay me $1.5 million to live in that house.

You can say that - if you'd like to come across as a credulous, superstitious and intellectually weak person. The Amityville "horror" was debunked and exposed as a publicity stunt a long time ago. I'd happily take the 1.5 million to live in that house. It's just a house.

Posted by: Cassidy at May 25, 2010 3:54 PM

Nadine, I would imagine it would sting, but when I read it, I was thinking more about the high risk of alcohol poisoning. All the alcohol in that tampon is being absorbed into the person's bloodstream all at once...I feel like that's probably pretty dangerous.

Posted by: Phaeolus at May 25, 2010 4:40 PM

Stacey, I don't know if celebrity news has been slow for several weeks now or what. And maybe it's just me, but lately I find myself clicking at most two of the links.

RE: Soaking a tampon in vodka.

I just found out today (via my local newspaper) that a valid way to take the pill is to shove it up your vagina. Apparently, it's just as effective as swallowing it. Who knew?

Anyway, so my question is, can I soak my tampon in "Shirtless Kirk" cologne and experience what it's like to be the green slave girl from that party episode?

Posted by: BWeaves at May 25, 2010 4:53 PM

People, you are missing the marketing opportunity here! Tampons that are pre-soaked in various cocktails-for the busy gal (or GP) on the go! The massengill "happy hour" line consists of Margarita hoo hoo, Coochie cosmo and of course the Vodka staight up. I imagine the agency from Mad Men working on this.

Don Draper could easily pitch Hooch for your Cooch.

Awww... goddammit Nosek. You dissed LOST and video games in the same damn post. That's like a shot across the bow followed by a swift kick in the nuts. Leave us nerds alone m'kay? For the record, I've actually put down a controller to participate in an activity that my girlfriend likes to affectionately refer to as "the butt thing."

And it's her butt too, not mine, so suck it. (After I wash it off quick of course.)

Posted by: Roaddog at May 25, 2010 6:26 PM

Axe Body Spray has a new “Shirtless Kirk” cologne out, if you’ve always wondered what it’s like to small like the Shat.

As in smell like what that vulture shat out after eating 2 week dead carrion.

I was at a bachelor party where all the guys squeezed lemon juice and their eyes and then snorted vodka. It was pretty funny to see these giant men hunched over a teeny straw, attempting to siphon liquid pain up their nostrils, then straightening up... and then immediately hunch back down in pain. simultaneously.

I was the only girl at said bachelor party, and I didn't do that shot. Because I'm not an idiot.

Wow, someone's just too cool for school, aren't they? Yes, the whole "haunting" thing was almost certainly a hoax, but a man did shoot and kill his entire family in the house. That tends to rub some people the wrong way. I don't think it makes a person "intellectually weak." And I thought I was pretentious...

'Scuse me: "Cassidy." I hate when people misspell my name.

Holy cow, my sister and I were having this conversation not a fortnight ago. We both heard about it one Very Special Christmas Eve. We were all getting ready for bed, she was brushing her teeth, and I was camped out in front of the TV.

It's kind of sad, I can't afford cable at my apartment, so whenever I visit family members, there goes my life again. Taking naps and taking names. Watching the 20 minutes of non-competition on the Food Network. Not the point, we weren't doing anything of note, and then she heard me yell, 'Augh! No! No! That can't exist!' I related the story to her and she had about the same reaction and we never spoke of it again. Then, out of the blue that topic came up again somehow--this is about two years difference we're talking about. We wondered how you do it. Do you dangle the string in booze, or just toss the whole thing into a bottle? That might work for the plastic ones, but what about cardboard? How does this effect the anti-slip grip, which on its own can sometimes be temperamental? Paper disintegrates, so you must have a time limit? Are you supposed to get full metal soaking, or is it an 'A Little Spotting Will Do Ya' situation?

She joked that I should try it, but you see, I'm a very incurious person when it comes to inserting foreign liquids into my system. Vodka's not on the guest list. I told her she could pay my cable bill in hell and we had an accord.

I read a few years ago that tampons are very dangerous to export and must be done with the greatest of care, because expansion issues can effectively blow up the vehicle in which they're carriaged. So, it's too dangerous for a barge, but you're going to stick that all up in there and poison your blood just so you can spray Peach Schnapps out of your velvet cave? Is there another word for 'hero'?

Beau Brummel has been dead for a long time, hasn't he? I still don't have an answer though, and now the curiousity is clawing at me. But, no way am I looking that up on the internet. I'm sure there are things there that would make a physical anatomy textbook hurl, so no pictures.

Again: I'm not testing it myself either. I have medical reasons and free will preventing me from some of the more lurid sides of this epicurian life.

I'm a wussy scholar who can't drink, so yes, I fear that I am a harlot in name only. I ask hesitantly after The Great Sootikin Trauma of 2008, but I ask still. Teach, impart, elucidate, edify, enlighten, frapper!

Please with peach blossoms.

Now I don't want to sound like a snob, but wouldn't Sake go better with raw fish than Vodka???

Posted by: bob at May 26, 2010 2:12 AM

HA!

I say to bob what Schumann said about Brahms: Hats off [gentle-things], a genius!

But wouldn't sake be kind of hot- in the literal sense? One day it'll be nothing but Darjeeling and Earl Grey suppositories, and naught shall be as it once seemed. Oh, ick. Ew. Sorry. I don't know why they chose vodka, because if your legal caretaker is sniffing your vulva slipper for various rice wines, some claret, two shirts for the cold and a little bread, you've got other problems.

I have to stop with the David Starkey re-runs.

Posted by: Jo 'Mama' Besser at May 26, 2010 4:07 AM

Cassidy--please come back when you've developed a sense of humor.

EricD--maybe you and Stacey could exchange emails and she could send you each day's PL for your approval prior to posting it?

Sheesh, people, lighten up.
