They Might Be Giants Gives Back and Stuff

My favorite band of all time, They Might Be Giants, is now sponsoring little league teams. I wish I had a kid just so they could play little league for them, even though that’s really not a good reason to want a kid. (gothamist)

But of course, as we all know, kids always ruin everything. Okay, okay … Just in movies. Usually. (Film School Rejects)

It’s official! Mel Gibson got his weirdey, Octomom-looking girlfriend knocked up. Apparently booze doesn’t dilute your sperm after all. Also, Jeremy Feist is helping me out over on Webster’s today, so go on over and poke at him. (Webster’s)

Dan Carlson reviews the new CW show “Hitched or Ditched,” which proves that reality TV isn’t done “treating marriage like a cheap carnival prize.” (Hollywood Reporter)

The new tech guy at Cyberdyne is a little confused as to what’s going on. Thanks, Neon! (Cracked)

Oh. My. God. Nick Cannon gave Mariah Carey a “bald eagle” for your birthday, and if you — like me — thought that was just an endangered species, then prepare for the vomit to flow freely from your orifices. (Celebitchy)

Universal studios is rebooting the popular King Kong ride, which was I think my favorite one when I went there as a kid. Much better than that “E.T.” crap, anyway. What a disappointment that was. (Screen Rant)

Here’s the five best robot kill scenes. With clips! Yay! (CHUD)

Does anyone else here remember “Watchimals” from the 80’s? I SO WANTED one of these things when I was a kid but I guess my parents knew what a horse’s ass I would look like wearing one. (DListed)

If I told you a product called a “cockbib” existed, take a moment to ponder what such a product would entail before clicking on the link. (Zelda Lily)

Check out the celebrity gender switch experiment. Sweet Jesus does Hillary Swank’s face look creepy on a man’s body. (Holy Taco)

This story was too funny not to post. If you ever decide to propose to someone via cake, I can’t stress “spell checking” enough. (Cake Wrecks)

Here’s a clip from the new Comedy Central show “Michael and Michael Have issues.” Feel free to comment about how much you love Michael Ian Black and/or complain about how much you hate him.

Ian Black was da bomb in Reaper, yo.'

Mariah Carey doesn't look a day over 48, she's also fat.

Okay folks, raise your hand if the Queen's Representative of your nation has eaten a freakin' raw seal heart in a show of solidarity with the Inuit. Fellow Canucks, are your hands raised? 'Cause they should be.

Michaelle Jean is one crazy mothereffer!

Posted by: meaux at May 26, 2009 1:12 PM

I mock Mel Gibson's crazy hateful ass as much as the next person, but that girl is ridiculously hot.

Posted by: twig at May 26, 2009 1:12 PM

Don't knock the Watchimals! I owned the peacock Watchimal as a kid. Man, I was fierce.

Posted by: Helena at May 26, 2009 1:21 PM

YES! 'Up' is running 100% with 28 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes!

O frabjous day! Callooh. Callay.

Posted by: twig at May 26, 2009 1:35 PM

I'm wearing a Watchimanamal right now! It's not on my wrist, either! It's visiting my "Bald Eagle" sanctuary down south. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAhaaa...

I'm referring to my penis, by the way.

Ehhhhh. I'd much rather look at "fat old" Mariah Carey.

Posted by: Jay at May 26, 2009 1:42 PM

This might get me ostracized at this site, but I have to come out and say that I really truly cannot stand They Might Be Giants. The first time I heard Particle Man I wanted to kill somebody.

Posted by: Snath at May 26, 2009 1:47 PM

I'd happily give Mariah Carey a bald eagle -- which is what I call my dick.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at May 26, 2009 1:49 PM

I might have had a Watchimal. Best part? I was old enough to know better.

Also, I do not need to know what Mariah Carey's pubis looks like. Thank you.

Not arguing there.

Phew. I don't think my heart could take another disappointment like T4. Keep on rockin, Pixar!

The most annoying kids of all time? The Jurassic Park kids. My dad and I spent that whole movie wishing desperately that the stupid kids would get eaten or mauled or something. How awesome would THAT have been?

Posted by: figgy at May 26, 2009 2:10 PM

My hand is up meaux. Remember people, don't fuck with Canada, we eat your hearts!

Also, I have an Elephant With Alopecia. My wife likes it that way.

From the celebitchy article: "She said: “Read my bio again. We can’t allow these lies to spread! Don’t say the F word around me. It’s just a number but I don’t see why women should have to conform to what is expected of a 40-year-old - whatever that is.”"

This aggravates me to no end. You know what is totally expected of women (at any age)... loudly and vehemently denying one's real age. Dear, if you don't want to fall into a stereotype, then own up to your age. Fercryinoutloud, you look damn hot and I won't even qualify that by adding "for 40".

Posted by: Elsie at May 26, 2009 2:17 PM

Bald Eagles are boring so I don't know what the treat is. Seriously, don't you want, say. your 40 year old wife and your eight year old daughter to look a bit different down there? Not only are bald eagles not sexy but a bit disturbing and peadophilic too.

"Mariah Carey doesn't look a day over 48, she's also fat."

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at May 26, 2009 1:07 PM

That's unfair. She isn't fat. Some people's definition of 'fat' amazes me. What do you expect women to be? Tooth picks? Bless a few sexy curves.

The cake story was hilarious and cute. I hope she said yes.

Posted by: barf at May 26, 2009 2:18 PM

reality TV isn’t done “treating marriage like a cheap carnival prize.”
And yet Prop8 sits still? Good point, world, let's make sure to uphold the sanctity of marriage. Through Reality television..... stab...

Posted by: Patty O'Green at May 26, 2009 2:19 PM

So he was saying HE finally shaved down there? C'mon man, have some common courtesy. You know she shaves every time, that's the kind of girl she is, but you've never shaved for her? That's assholish.
Like Michael Ian Black (Who I love!)

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at May 26, 2009 2:20 PM

You can tell us, admin--you killed that seal with your bare...you know....didn't you?!

Posted by: meaux at May 26, 2009 2:25 PM

That's unfair. She isn't fat.

BSlim's standards for the acceptable hottie seem to involve some factors that exist outside current space/time possibilities.

Posted by: twig at May 26, 2009 2:26 PM

I don't think Mariah Carey is fat, but I always thought she looked like a chipmunk. Alvin, maybe.

Posted by: figgy at May 26, 2009 2:31 PM

Industry insiders confirm Hollywood Reporter's article that ABC Studios is actively trying to sell Reaper. Syndication is a very real possiblity right now, but EVERYONE is recommending writing your affiliates! Help out! All details here: http://community.livejournal.com/reaperdmv/46875.html

For sure they've had the same vocal training and hit the same notes.

Damn! Of all the people; I respond to figgy and forget the comma.

Posted by: Cindy at May 26, 2009 3:26 PM

I had a panic attack on the ET ride as a kid. I do not do well with heights. Not at all. True story.

AWWWW, that's very mature.

Agreed. Now that I have two little girls, everytime I see a grown woman clean shaven it disgusts me. Not only are we reducing woman to little girls, but we're sexualizing little girls. It always makes me second guess letting my daughters run around naked in the yard, something every kid should be able to do when they're young, because I wonder what pervert is going to see them. The line between girls and women needs to be firmly distinguished. What ever happened to an appreciation for a good old fashioned full bush?

Full bush is for bush-women from the bush.

Keep it trimmed and neat ladies, we appreciate every time we have to go to work down there.

I would, but he might poke me back. And, I've seen his poker....

Posted by: Drake at May 26, 2009 5:20 PM

Yay to katy. It's wonderful to find someone who agrees with me on this issue. It's rare, especially if you're American. Americans, even more than the rest of the world seem to be obsessed with removing every hair that grows under their head (incidentally, why don't people shave their heads too?). Hello, it's natural and it's there for a reason. It's supposed to attract the other sex, show you're mature enough and trap the scent of a woman. It makes you a real woman and it's part of the natural process of growing up.

People who say it's unhygienic or you can't go down on a woman with a bush are ridiculous. If you know what a shower and soap/shampoo is there's nothing unhygienic and someone who doesn't give good cunnilingus when there's hair probably gives equally bad cunnilingus when there isn't.

I'm not saying we shouldn't groom ourselves at all in any way and just be like gorillas. It's the obsession which I find weird. Many women over a certain age don't find any problems with hairy chests on men and many men over a certain age don't have any hangups about a bush on women but modern porn and today's generation make a big deal over the least bit of stubble protruding from any part of the body! There was a time when a guy who looks like he doesn't have hair on his chest used to be made fun of for still being a boy. Mow it's metrosexuality all around where differences between men, women and children seems to be very blurred!

Posted by: barf at May 26, 2009 5:22 PM

For most annoying kids I would say,
1. The kid in Shane. Ugh. That he grew up to be Hud's kid brother is amazing.
2. The kid in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore. Can you say, military boarding school?

And, the celebrity switcheroo thing;
SJP. OMG. OMFG.

Is all.

Posted by: HowardBollixter at May 26, 2009 5:23 PM

Hm. I shave my junk down to nothing. I do it for the sake of comfort and cleanliness. I can't take a shower every time I pee, and toilet paper doesn't really hold up very well when you use it for its intended purpose. Not to be gross. Also, it does indeed "trap the scent of a woman", and in the summer, that means sweaty, and once a month, that means menstrual-y. That's not an attractive smell.

Granted, I guess it's more of a really short crew cut than baby's-ass-bare skin. But that's only because I'm too lazy to do that much work. But I'm gonna go ahead and disagree on the cunnilingus aspect: pseudo-Mr. vB prefers not flossing every time he goes dowtown. It's got nothing to do with whether he's good at it, or what it looks like, it has to do with hairs coming loose and giving him a coughing fit in the middle.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at May 26, 2009 6:46 PM

Having seen him speak for more than the 30-second clips from the I Love specials, I think he's pretty funny. To a point. Like Russell Brand.

Then again, Russell Brand never came to my school and treated me and my friends like jackasses.

Posted by: joannie at May 26, 2009 7:28 PM

I'm way too quick to hit 'post comment.' I was talking about MIB. And to his credit, my school is notorious for drunken jackasses, one of whom used the Q&A of MIB's show to ask him how Hal Sparks was doing.

Posted by: joannie at May 26, 2009 7:30 PM

I seem to remember something about just how extravagantly pious ol' "pre-Vatican II" Roman Catholic Mel is supposed to be. How does committing adultery and divorcing his wife of many years square with that? Fucking hypocrite.

Posted by: CatBallou at May 26, 2009 8:32 PM

I also like to keep the coochie area trimmed to an almost-shaved level. I used to keep a small tuft of hair for effect, but the current boy-toy likened it to a Hitler 'stache so it had to go. I second AvB on all of her points and I would add that sex is definitely better all around with a clean shave. I suggest that all women who haven't try it at least once. It has nothing to do with the hair being dirty or unsanitary (although I get why some feel that way) it's just makes naked time more fun.

And just for the record, I have nothing against a man being hairy either. I like a good chest rug and as long as the pubes aren't out of control they're okay too. I just shave and/or wax because I like it on me for my own personal shits 'n giggles.
