Oh, Freida Pinto, You Should Have Stuck With That Yellow Scarf

By Joanna Robinson | Posted Under Pajiba Love | Comments (21)

Unctious and obsequious greetings to you, my little vowels and consonants. These letter throw pillows are everything I never knew I always wanted. I could put words EVERYWHERE in my house. Leave elaborate messages on sofas and beds. The world is my scrabble board. (Etsy)

I could use the pillows to spell out the top ten American swear words. Strike that. I think I prefer the top ten British swear words. BOLLOCKS! (The Atlantic)

Speaking of my love for words, here is the largest indoor photo ever taken. What does that have to do with words? It’s of my dream librareeee! Only mine would have less gilding and more rolling ladders. A fleet of rolling ladders. (Techcrunch)

I’ve found it! The first book for my library! Rob Lowe’s new tell-all where he bags on such easy targets at Tom Cruise and Charlie Sheen! Oh, I know, I know, you just want to see this photo of him shirtless on the cover of Vanity Fair. Fine, fine, foyne. The microchip, it is not compromised. (Evil Beet)

Speaking of genetically blessed people and their skin (that sounded a bit Buffalo Bill, no?), Freida Pinto is showing some of hers on the cover of Glamour while wearing the most hideous Donna Martin ensemble I’ve seen outside of the 90210 zip code. (Celebitchy)

In brighter news, the blind person who dressed Miss Pinto might enjoy this braille Rubik’s cube. (Boing Boing)

I’m not certain if this Mario-themed bathroom is awesome or blind-making. The girl’s cute, and I’m down with the toadstool tissue dispenser, but that Mario soap dish freaks me out. (Unreality)

THE GOOD: Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon are collaborating to raise money for education. THE BAD: While Colbert is donating his own ca$h monies, Fallon is asking viewers to donate his half. THE UGLY: If they raise enough by the end of the week, Colbert will perform Rebecca Black’s “Friday” with The Roots. By “UGLY” I, of course, mean amazing. (Warming Glow)

Speaking of money, check out this photoshopped image of John Boener dressed as a NASCAR driver covered in his sponsors. Thanks to the cackling geniuses at Reddit. More of this, please! Do the democrats too! (GOOD)

We’ll start the video portion of today’s P.Love with a video I’ve seen on no fewer than five sites now. That kind of ubiquitousness (don’t you wish that word were ubiquity?) usually stops me from posting something here. But, well, it’s Pixar. I’m powerless to resist. Oh, except for you, Cars. I will never watch you.

Check out this nifty little amplifier someone made for their mobile phone. There is no electricity involved, just acoustics, scrap metal and a trumpet. It looks like something you’d find on the TARDIS…

Speaking of the TARDIS, holy guacamole, it’s the “Doctor Who” trailer. I’ll give you no spoilers, River, except to say, for a show that can make me terrified of cherubic children in gas masks and angel statues, I weep to think of what they’re going to do with that bolloxing clown.

Joanna Robinson would like you to make her a scrap metal/trumpet thingie. If you’re skilled in the art of metallurgy, please do send her one here: godtopuswept@gmail.com

Is it me, or did they photoshop Frida's body out with that of a 12 year Phillipino boy?

From neck to legs she's flatter than a 14th century map.

Forget the clown. It's that ventriloquist's dummy that is positively nightmare-making.

Colbert and The Roots! That's all I can see. I don't care what song it is they're performing, it'll take another 5 minutes before the fog of ecstatic joy clears from my retinas.

That Pixar vid made me cry. Pixar is the reason why I am where I am today. Feelings. Emotions. Kleenex.

While I was watching the Dr. Who teaser, right when the clown came on, my printer started itself up (it was turned OFF), made some R2D2 noises, and turned itself back OFF. Scared the freaking shit out of me.

DOCTOR WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Holy shit, not a single inch of Frieda Pinto's body looks real in that shot. Every time I think I've seen the absolute worst that photoshop can do, an actual, real magazine comes out with something like that, and I am horrified all over again.

What's worse?
a) Simple fact that that is not her body at all
b) the outfit
c) the way the outfit seems to be cut out and pasted on the body
d) the way that body is flat as a pancake
e) The gigantic head
f) how freakishly white she looks? Yeah, she's light-skinned, but not THAT much.
g) the way her chin looks like it was shaped by a blunt mallet?
h) ALL OF THE ABOVE

We all know the answer.

The worst part is that people will be whining about how much skin she's showing, when the real problem is that that skin is obviously not even real.

Doctor Who trailer!!!?? SQU . . .

*spots Dustin wagging his finger*

. . . UUUEEEexcellent?

The clown actually looks so sad that I cannot fear it. Neither, though, am I eager to hug it...

That dummy is creepy as all get out. ::shudder::

I got really upset at BBCAmerica for posting the spoilerrific title of Gaiman's episode, but upon further inspection it is pretty obvious. Panic averted.

Those pillows make me want to play Scrabble in the park - giant Words with (Actual) Friends!

You've all seen "Devil Doll", right? The evil dummy?

Buck up, you Army pukes.

The Mario bathroom is full of glory. There's nothing to be uncertain about.

Squexcellent indeed, Lauren. Highly squexcellent.

I just noticed your pattern of putting pretty womens' faces on the header for P.Love.

I must say, this is a pattern of which I approve much.

That kind of ubiquitousness (don’t you wish that word were ubiquity?)

Yes. Yes. A thousand times yes. I have felt the double sting of saying ubiquity only to be corrected by that word turd ubiquitousness...what's this?! Joanna, I'm runnin' Firefox 4 and it didn't give a shit about "ubiquity", but I gettin' red lines under "ubiquitousness". I'd trust Firefox's spell check with my life. Has the battle been won?

That cover makes it look like Freida was vomited on by Gaugin. It's ruining my day.

Posted by: D-Day at March 30, 2011 4:58 PM

Reading through those lists of the top ten dirty words made me feel all tourettes-ish (works really well when you shout each one). Is that offensive? Sorry if it is. Blame it on Cartman or something.

Posted by: JohnnyBee at March 30, 2011 5:54 PM

I refuse to look at a picture of Ms. Pinto looking (allegedly) not her best. Freida is The Pretty. You leave her alone. It does not exist if I do not look at it.

And also? Bollocks.

ahem what you said but with sobbing and perhaps snot. Sorry but Pixar get me every time.

Posted by: captainfireypants at March 30, 2011 8:08 PM

Yeah, the Pixar vid made me cry as well. . .

They make their films with intelligence and heart, and that shows in every frame of their work.

To me they seem like the gatekeepers of humanity's collective heart. They are there to remind those that normally do not feel that, although they may try and deny its existence, their heart is beating in their chest and that there is still magic around us at all times.

That kind of ubiquitousness (don’t you wish that word were ubiquity?)

But my dear Link Wench, the words ubiquity and ubiquitousness are both accepted by Merriam-Webster, and my good old Funk & Wagnalls only lists the former, so please follow your heart. Take the plunge, good lady.

P.S. I may have a crush on you and your writing.

I love Pixar with the passion of a shining mega-moon as well, but that video confuses me. It has no coherancy or flow. It's just random clips from different Pixar movies set to ominous/uplifting music with no apparent reason behind it. There seemed to be no point to it other than to remind people that Pixar is awesome enough to even rise above that. Which is worth remembering, I suppose, but if you're going to put that much effort in, why not put in an extra ten minutes and organize the clips to some purpose?
The clips themselves are still awe inspiring though. Pixar always makes my day brighter. So I guess the video gets a thumbs up just for that.
