Mila Kunis: Manic Sexy Dream Girl

Have you seen our new logo? Have ya? Hunh hunh? Its gorgeous sexiness comes to us via jM (design) and MM (words). Thanks, chicas!!!

Please read this fantastic article on the vile Whitney Cummings and her two “contributions” to this year’s weirdly passive-regressive television line-up. Even if you haven’t seen a single second of either “Whitney” or “Two Broke Girls” (lucky you), Nussbaum’s writing is worth your time. “Most of the time it feels as if Whitney had torn out every article in Cosmopolitan, chewed them up like a hamster, and built a nest.” (New Yorker)

I love hot, funny women and I hate that Cummings allegedly “stands for that.” Speaking of hot, funny women I adore, Mila Kunis, like Justin Timberlake before her, attended the Marine Corps Ball. She showed up, looked demure and pretty and went home without feeling the need to issue an oily, disingenuously gushy statement about her experience. That’s why girls rule and boys drool. (Celebitchy)

Check out this super drool-worthy book/switch. You know the kind that usually activate a rad rotating bookcase/secret passage? You can have one of your own! You can just use it as a light switch! (Uncrate)

In one of those super odd “Why Would I Ever Want This!?… .Um…But Now That It Exists I Must Hear It” Projects, some enterprising young man has smushed every Beatles single together into one giant track. Mostly it sounds like static with occasional, familiar chords wafting out. (Sound Cloud)

Speaking of familiar chords, the old school music is intact in this Tetris game you can play online. What may not remain intact is your lunch given that in this version, the whole screen moves, not the pieces. Thanks for that case of vertigo, superasente! (First Person Tetris)

Okay, I went to UC Davis as an undergraduate, so the images and videos that have been circulating this weekend depicting shockingly casual brutality on the part of the Davis PD have me completely emotional and reactionary. I’m going to try to stay relatively objective and tell you that I think this eyewitness account, this fascinating piece on how the incident may serve as a fulcrum and, finally, the eerily silent protest outside Chancellor Katehi’s office are all worth your time this morning.

Okay, nonsensical and crass palate cleanser anyone? Bierce Ambrose sent me this piece about some fellas who have published a book about the things people get stuck up their butts. Buck up, struggling writers, if this can get published, so can you. (Bro Bible)

Speaking of great literature, check out Carey Mulligan in her Daisy Buchannan hair/costume on the set of The Great Gatsby. That dress is phenomenal. (The Film Experience)

You thought you were upset that Bradley Cooper was named Sexiest Man Alive by People Magazine? Salon got so upset they invented a bunch of guys to make up their own list. Okay, FINE, they’re not invented, I just haven’t heard of most of them. Except Bon Iver…rock me with your tremulous falsetto. (Salon)

“Empire” (one of my favorite movie magazines) has an interesting piece comparing elements from the Whedonverse to The Avengers. Ummmm, shiny things? (Empire)

Speaking of the Whedonverse, Geekboy press has a series of great “Firefly,” “Battlestar Galactica” and “Doctor Who” shirts. For all our “nobody understands my humorous t-shirt” needs. (Geekboy Press)

It may be worse, however, to have a tattoo that nobody understands. Here is a series of highly scientific tattoos. I don’t need to understand it to know that neural net tattoo is gorgeous. (PopSci)

While we’re on the subject of geeky tattoos, check out this Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem shoulder ink. I don’t care what Dustin says, Janice is *not* the worst muppet. (Scotch Trooper)

I somehow missed that Bret McKenzie from “Flight of The Conchords” was the composer for the new muppet film. Now I’ll be waiting the whole movie for a Jemaine cameo.

Finally, the artist Kyle Lambert (creator of this amazing Joker portrait) has drawn actress Rooney Mara’s transformation into Lisbeth Salander with ONE FINGER. On the iPad. Check it out.

Ohhh, Bon Iver. I would make sweet, sweet audio love to Justin Vernon's falsetto.

"Vile Whitney Cummings"? Really? Vile?

I know Pajiba has an institutional hard on when it comes to Whitney, but vile?

Frankly, I just don't see what the fuss is about. Both 2 Broke Girls and Whitney are sweet, simple productions that may not be cutting edge, but they are far from evil. Come on, Joanna, save "vile" for an issue that earns it.

Posted by: Jerry Kenney at November 21, 2011 2:17 PM

...but seriously, bring back the old logo.

Posted by: OldSchool60 at November 21, 2011 2:26 PM

Awww! Seriously, folks, I'm drinking my coffee this morning from my Pajiba mug, and it's at least 50% more delicious. Everyone should go to Zazzle and buy themselves a Pajiba mug.

I bet, for every mug sold, they send Dustin a shiny nickel or so. Surely we all want Dustin's little sprog to have a merry Christmas, presents under the tree, etc.? Don't be a monster!! Buy a mug. Or a T-shirt, if you're really not into mugs.

Posted by: MM at November 21, 2011 2:43 PM

Sorry to be THAT person, but where are the mugs made?

Over the last few weeks I have become a bigger and bigger fan of Mila Kunis. I don't know why it took me so long to get onboard the Kunis Train.

She was staying in my little town while shooting that "OZ" movies. Apparently, she hung out at a local restuarant and one of the waiters has a huge crush on her and bought her a cupcake but was too shy to give it to her so one of the waitresses did and then she (Mila Kunis) ended up staying and hanging out and talking to them for like 2 hours.

She seems like very good people on top of being crazy sexy.

You see, PaddyDog, when two potters love each other very much...

Posted by: Jast at November 21, 2011 2:52 PM

Well, gee, Jerry Kenney, I never realized that railing against mediocrity was such a horrible thing. Here, have some more Whitney. Have 27 channels of Whitney; force that potato-flavored bilge down your gullet. Go back to bed, America! Whitney is still on the air! Everything is alright!

Posted by: Jim Doggie at November 21, 2011 2:52 PM

Paddydog: I have no idea where the mugs are made, but you can order them here, through Zazzle. And MM, thanks for looking out, but in fact, all the proceeds go to Protoguy, who designed the amazing T-shirt (and mug), and who is currently recovering from cancer. I'm sure the profits aren't substantial, but I imagine every bit helps.

And Jerry: She is vile, man. So very vile. An affront and insult to comedy.

Oh, and OldSchool60: Cram it up your cramhole, sir. The new logo is f*cking splendid!

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at November 21, 2011 2:53 PM

Sweet and simple Jerry? To put it mildly, are you mad!? 2 Broke Girls, with its casual use of sexual harrassment as joke fodder, its Asian stereotype that makes Breakfast at Tiffany's look sympathetic, and its insistence that its witty and funny in spite of a raft of evidence to the contrary is just putrid, and the fact that it is the BETTER of those two Whitney Cummings dumps on the television landscape. Whitney is even worse, both bland and offensive, which is difficult to pull off. It's not only vile, it's an oozing pus laden sore on the mouth of a scaborous rat. But, by all means let's say sweet and simple, because if nothing else when you swim through the river of shit that is those two shows, at their core you will find EVEN MORE SHIT!

Sweet Pajeebus, but Justin Torres is one beautiful man.

Posted by: Drake at November 21, 2011 3:02 PM

Well, I turn my mug over, and it says Made in China. My coffee is now only 25% more delicious. Zazzle itself seems like a really good (socially involved) company, though, so there's that.

So buy a mug: fight cancer and the high cost of American healthcare!! What are you, a monster?

PS Whitney Cummings is probably not a bad person, but her comedy is VILE.

Posted by: MM at November 21, 2011 3:03 PM

I have to say, given that a sizable percentage of the readers and writers on this site hate 3-D (including me), having 3-D glasses in the logo seems inappropriate.

Todd: I think you're seeing a version of the logo we tried out overnight, but abandoned in favor of the one that's there now. Refresh your cache, and you should see the new one. It is not 3D glasses themed. -- DR)

Posted by: Todd at November 21, 2011 3:10 PM

Oh Aloe Blacc, even your name is sexybeautiful... I'll give you a dolla, baby...

Posted by: Patty O'Green at November 21, 2011 3:12 PM

Thanks. I appreciate the quick responses and of course I will buy one for Protoguy.

But I won't drink anything hot out of it.

Posted by: PaddyDog at November 21, 2011 3:12 PM

I HEART Mrcreosote. I watched 5 minutes of 2 Broke Girls and I was stunned the characterizations. Now, where's my torch? (As a Canadian with a green card, I am not legally allowed to carry a pitchfork.)

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at November 21, 2011 3:16 PM

And I've caught up to yesterday on my EE reading. Thank God!

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at November 21, 2011 3:19 PM

PaddyDog, you're killing me here. :) I thought you were worried about sweatshops. Now I see you're worried about lead, and my coffee is at least 10% less delicious.

So the mug also says "Orca Coatings" on the bottom, with a little Orca logo on it. In a minute of Google, this is what I find:

Sublimation Mugs, Orca Coating

So, half of that may be bullshit, but the mug is at least a step above a dollar-store, lead-laden mug. (I attest it is heavy and high quality.)

Posted by: MM at November 21, 2011 3:22 PM

Paddy - If you're not comfortable buying one of the products with the logo for ethical and/or health reasons, but still want to help out Protoguy, he also had a straightforward donation account on PayPal. I can help you find it through FB.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at November 21, 2011 3:30 PM

MM:

Thanks: that is very interesting, I didn't know about the Orca eco-coatings.

I am also concerned about the sweat shops but I have become resigned to the fact that Chinese-made stuff is everywhere, so I try to at least go for the better quality stuff and try to avoid lead poisoning (a colleague was told she had early-onset Alzheimer's a few years ago which turned out to be lead poisoning from ceramics made in China, so this shit is not just a rumor).

Again, I don't want to be THAT person. Pajiba and Zazzle are clearly trying to do the right thing here. It's just that I ask this question every time I purchase something and I can't just give the cool guys a pass just because I love you.

Mrs. Julien: Tell me more.

Posted by: PaddyDog at November 21, 2011 3:45 PM

Paddy, I actually appreciate you being THAT person. I try to be that person too, and do spend an inordinate amount of time worrying/researching/fretting on the things I buy. However, in my fever for Pajiba merchandise, I let it slide.

Posted by: MM at November 21, 2011 3:50 PM

Paddy, dude, buy a mug and put some frickin' pencils in it. Fill it up with jellybeans. Use it to catch coins when you do your street performances. OOOOHHHH... I feel a comment diversion coming on. What should PaddyDog do with his new mug?

Posted by: the other courtney at November 21, 2011 3:59 PM

Her.

Posted by: Jay at November 21, 2011 4:09 PM

Oh. I get it now. When a man fails to live up to expectations, it's merely dull. When a female fails, it's vile.

Posted by: Jerry Kenney at November 21, 2011 4:34 PM

To me, Whitney Cummings is like the girl at a kegger who tries to forcibly be the life of the party. She thinks she hilarious. She thinks she's sharp. She thinks she's cutting edge. In reality she's loud, obnoxious and flat out offensive and she only gets worse the more she drains her cup. She's so damn funny that she's loudly enjoying her humor more than anyone else, and if you don't get it it's only because your a stupid, stuck-up prick.

If there's something positive one can try to get out of her (and others like her in recent years) it's that women are being allowed to suck just as badly as the men. I had hoped that given the chance, and still being able to remember a time when a vast number opportunities just weren't there, that women would collectively double their efforts and make damn sure they wouldn't produce the same bullshit their male counterparts have been regularly churning out. For a long time, failure or incompetence for an minority meant not only a career setback for the offender in question, but also higher scrutiny for those that might come afterward. Not to say that still doesn't happen, but its far less obvious. Instead, we get this crap which if nothing else shows that women's' output can be just as worthless. Cummings is by no means alone or even a trailblazer in this backward slide for women, but I don't see her trying to correct it either. While its frustrating to see anyone squander an opportunity by going lowbrow, there was a time when they wouldn't have even had the opportunity to do so in the first place. So if women are going to be equals, that means that some of them need to be allowed to be just as crass and incompetent as men have always been allowed to be. All things being equal, it's only natural sometimes someone's going to come by whom we want to punch in the face, but now their race or gender should be less of an obstacle.

Still, I hope she squirreled away some of the money she got from this because I'm fairly certain when people finally start to recognize her as the unfunny, aggravating drunk girl, she'll discover she's not going to be invited to many more parties. I only hope she doesn't penalize other woman their own chances to step up and be noticed. If we truly have come forward in gender equality she won't.

Gaaaack! You all ruined my Mila-buzz with all the Whitney-vile.

Posted by: TrickyHD at November 21, 2011 9:02 PM

Kudos to Mila Kunis.

Posted by: John W at November 21, 2011 9:11 PM

I truly enjoy blocking your new more annoying pop-up adverts with my script-blocking software. I really do. I will not visit your sponsors. I will not purchase their wares. The ads are invasive, loud tedious and annoying, which doesn't sell the brand with me at all.

Just give up already.

Posted by: Mr, Stitch at November 21, 2011 10:13 PM

I really like Mila, she seems cool, is obviously beautiful, and I like that she stole the attention from that cow Natalie Portman. But, I hate to say it, I do not find her to be a good actress at all. I think she could benefit from some acting classes, because I think the drive is there.

Posted by: stump at November 21, 2011 10:22 PM

Oi, thanks guys, Dustin, you rule.

Yep! Proceeds go to me. Thanks again for that Dustin. It's not much, but I've got like 4 or 5 things going and every bit helps, and it's very much appreciated.

No bullying, Pajibans!! Paddy, buy a painting instead! Totally lead free. Of course, the red has cadmium and the white is titanium... I think there's some cadmium in the yellows too. Just don't eat on it and you'll be fine.

Posted by: Protoguy at November 21, 2011 10:30 PM

Jerry - THIS is your cause??? Are you on Whitney's payroll?

I would say any comedian whose comedy relies on bullshit ethnic stereotypes, or that willfully enforces damaging, false, and moronic ideas of gender in this day and age is, indeed, vile.

She doesn't get a pass because she's a woman and she's not being persecuted because she's a woman. We think she sucks because her excuse for comedy is the definition of low-hanging fruit and - perhaps less eloquently - it BLOWS.

Mea Culpa here: I end up watching 2 Broke Girls, because my wife likes it, and it tends to fill the gap between HIMYM and MNF. But last night a crime was committed that was unforgivable. THE BITCH STOLE FROM DAVID SEDARIS!! The entire elf job, including the dirty crotch jokes were stolen from his decade old article about Macy's. That's the end of the road there Whitney. You don't steal from Sedaris.

Posted by: Mrcreosote at November 22, 2011 9:16 AM

Mila seems so down to Earth and so cool. And of course, she's as sexy as they come.

Posted by: Jay at November 22, 2011 8:31 PM

They are usually small and are better for ladies that don't carry too much. It might only take a phone and you wallet.
