Kate Winslet's Most Attractive Feature? Why Her Filthy Mouth, Of Course.

All work on “Community” and no play makes Dan Harmon go something, something. (Wired)

Speaking of horror, What Culture has the 12 Most Over-Used Horror Cliches. (What Culture)

Also horrific are these Top Ten Dumbest Halloween Costumes MelBivDevoe amassed over at Hot Ink. Sexy Hulk Hogan, y’all. (Hot Ink Reviews)

On the flip side, here is the coolest Halloween costume I’ve seen all year. If you don’t get it, then you’ve never spent a Christmas with my sister in control of the remote. (Blame It On The Voices)

And for my tender time wasters out there, here’s a mindless but addictive little game that might maybe make a better typoer typist out of you. Hmm, perhaps I ought to give it a whirl. (Z-Type)

Last week I posted a list of adorable Hollywood couples. If the Obamas counted as Hollywood, they would have been on it. Here are 19 adorably presidential moments including the one below from Inauguration Night. (Buzzfeed)

Alas, my favorite actress, Kate Winslet, is not half of an adorable couple any longer. She gives an interview to “Bazaar” UK on her kids and her marriage. Best of all? She curses like a sailor throughout. And not for the first time. (Evil Beet)

Also posing this month is Johnny Depp who is back on the cover of “Vanity Fair” for the second time this year. Excessive. Also, Depp likens photo shoots to being raped. Well, yes, Johnny Boy, that’s because you let that scumbag Terry Richardson shoot you. (Celebitchy)

You know, I’ve always had a dirty little admiration for the hacking group Anonymous. But, correct me if I’m wrong (as I often am), if they mess with the NYSE in a significant way, won’t that have wide-spread repercussions? Not just for the intended targets a.k.a. the Wall Street fat cats? Maybe that’s the point. (PCMag)

For those of you who are interested, NYT is live-blogging the Apple iPhone 5 announcement today. (NYT)

Speaking of cyber culture, I was blown away by this piece in The Guardian about how computer usage has changed our definition of the word “home.” (The Guardian)

I dunno, folks, home is wherever I’m with you, right? Sometimes, however, “The Daily Show” makes me a little embarrassed to call the U.S. “home.” Inspired by Gov. Rick Perry’s “Niggerhead Ranch” scandal, Wyatt Cenac takes a look at the racist place names across the nation.

Finally, here’s a quirky video from Dresden Doll and Mrs. Neil Gaiman, Amanda Palmer. This song is a fun little ditty and the concept is clever. Enjoy.

The dumb Halloween costume list makes me very not angry. Very not angry indeed.

I love lamp!

The Obama photos just made all the ladies in my office squeee. What an adorable couple. I'd love to be that photographer.

Wyatt Cenac looks very different lately...

Joanna,
Re: Rick Perry's ranch name scandal...you said typed it. You really, really typed it! No asterisk or nothin'! Good for you.

You didn't do this just for me, did you?

Where is everyone today?

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at October 4, 2011 3:28 PM

I scared them away with too much philosphizing.

Posted by: Socrates_Johnson at October 4, 2011 3:42 PM

No I scared them with my philosophizing.

Which one of you is Spartacus?

The Depp language-kerfuffle put me in mind of two links here today. Something about the "scandal" of a guy's family painting over a rock out in the brush, 10, 20 or 30 years ago - reports vary - which held an unfortunate word which they didn't put there. (Somebody has different facts vs. outrage-y outrage, kick that in.) Then there's squeeing over a very cute couple.

How much do we give people a break because we like them or think they're cute? Clearly, Depp, who is cute, charismatic and works in entertainment is a sweetie along with Polansik, while Perry, who talks funny and is from Texas (but I repeat myself) is therefore a racist douche.

Maybe, and maybe, but I'd much rather we hang these people for what they've actually done rather than trump-up non-scandals as over-blow as The Donald's hair.

One of the most brilliant political moves by President Obama was declining to release that birth certificate. It fed the crazies and dirtied up all his other opponents with the splash-damage. The problem is, unless there's an actual smoking rock, this particular Perry spasm will only makes his critics look bad, eventually.

I am Spartacus!

I was with you, BierceAmbrose, until I realized I don't know what your point is. There is an uproar over celebrity Depp's remarks, and that proves we think he's a sweetie? And that should be compared to people's uproar over presidential candidiate Perry's thing in what way? And that ties in to the Obamas' pictures and the president's birth certificate how?

Whoa, that Z-Type game gets crazy around Wave 14 when the random letter missiles come out. Looks like I have a new way to waste my time on Facebook.

Thanks for the bump, Joanna!

No, I'm Spartacus, and so is my wife.

Well things like this always remind me that I ran into Neil Gaiman on the streets of Edinburgh this year and he was a wonderfully nice man.

I was with you, BierceAmbrose, until I realized I don't know what your point is.

Oh, I screw up that way sometimes.

I suppose I'm not so much making a particular point as musing on how deciding we like someone for one reason filters how we see their behavior on other things. It's called "cognitive dissonance" and is hardly news. but we have several examples all at once.

- Beloved movie star and sloppy language. Would we try so hard to make what he said OK if we didn't like him so much?

- Disdained candidate and thin evidence (so far) of racism. Would we try so hard to pin him with that if we didn't hate him so much, even if we only hate him "professionally" as they put it on Studio 60?

- Beloved "first couple", but how much of a pass do they get on policy and results because they are so cute & charismatic?

it amuses me to no end that it took a movie that alan moore hated being made of his comic book to spawn the whole anonymous/guy fawkes mask thing.

never gets less funny.

People should swear more. I know it's not a cool-kind thing to do, but really, everyone should stop pretending to be more decent, high and mighty than they actually are and drop more f-bombs. Civility, while worthy of admiration, is a little bit overrated.

Hey, it works for Bob Saget...
