Whatever Dustin. Dunno ‘bout you guys, but I much prefer sensitive, emo Jake Gyllenhaal to burly, bearded Jake Gyllenhaal. Mini-div, anyone? (WIMB)
Dan and his roommate started their own alt-country band, so check ‘em out… And if you happen to be in the L.A. area, I have it on good authority that they’re in the market for groupies. And Dan’s a cuddler. (SlowlyGoingBald)
Blaming John Edwards’ affair for the demise of Hillary Clinton’s campaign takes some brass ones. You can make your own “Hillary Clinton Brass Ones” joke here. (QuizLaw)
The guy who played “Haziz” in The 40 Year Old Virgin went all greyhound on his girlfriend. (Celebslam)
Although I don’t quite have crippling acrophobia, the description to this movie alone is making my heart do a bellyflop into my stomach. (ASWOBA)

I hardly ever get a chance to link to any Keri Russell stories, so even though you guys are probably going to bitch about this here you go anyway. Nyah! (Popoholic)
Why you won’t be seeing any “Wyno Watermelon” or “Fully Baked” in your grocers freezer anytime soon. (Yeeeah!)
This is way cool… This artist takes pop culture figures and Simpsonizes them, from Lion-O to Marty McFly. (Via DBJ) (SpringfieldPunx)

Yeah, I did that stupid goddam M&M character thing. You wanna know what one major flaw is? Do you? UNDER "ACCESSORIES", THEY DON'T HAVE A FRIGGIN' HALF-DEVELOPED CONJOINER!
Nope, but they sure as shit have fishing poles, tennis rackets and even one of them heart-listening things... Stethmacrascopes, or whatever. I spent TWO GODDAM HOURS perfecting everything else. E V E R Y T H I N G! I even spent some time doing a few preliminary sketches, before committing to anything online. So I do all the initial steps, getting the right color combos, the perfect eyebrow spacing, the whole goddam nine yards. So I get to the last thing - the accessories - and guess what? EVERYTHING UNDER THE GODDAMED SUN BUT THE ONE THING THAT WOULD MAKE MY "SKITTIYUM CANDYMUS" COMPLETE IS CONVENIENTLY LEFT OFF!
Seriously, Mars, Inc. - Is it too much to ask you give me a little half-melted glob of chocolate with a little dangling nut-claw? Is it? I should think not... As of today, I'm boycotting your products. And it's a real shame too - my brother thoroughly enjoyed gumming the original M&Ms and letting them melt in his mouth, not in his grizzled turkey claw.

It wasn't because of Edwards, it was because they thought that motherfuckers was going to anoint them with the presidency just because their name was on the ballot instead of getting out there and working for the nomination like Obama did. You have to be careful when you talk about trying to anoint someone something. In my case if I'm going to be trying to anoint something to a bitch, it's going to be anointing her the pleasure of servicing me, even then I'm not always successful

I think Jake Gyllenhaal looked better in Jarhead. But I'm biased because I've already hooked up with a guy who would've made a better Prince of Persia who was more ripped, taller, and looked remarkably Persian. But he didn't have the hair, so I guess it just had to be Gyllenhaal. I won't complain.

"The guy who played "Haziz" in The 40 Year Old Virgin went all greyhound on his girlfriend."
Not appropriate, not funny, and grossly insensitive. A nation is still in shock over this crime, as we are not used to these sorts of things occuring here. A family is still grieving. A man is still before the courts. Tragedy + Time = Comedy, not Tragedy + Lack-of-Sensitivity.

I agree with Willow. A lot of other Canadians are still in shock, myself included. We've been getting a lot of coverage for this, including the goddamn Westboro Church trying to protest Tim McLean's funeral.
Don't mean to come across as a bitch, but does that mean that we can make snarky comments about a recent US tragedy?

Pookie, I always know it's you from just the first couple of sentences. It's like Name That Tune.
I already mentioned here today that I like my men on the hairy side, but I like the Gyllenhaal looking as boyish as possible. That hair is creepy.

And that is all.

Canadian here. Not offended, not in shock.
As for Haziz, know how I know he's gay? He's going to federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison.
How's that for mixing movie references?
Posted by: kushiro at August 13, 2008 12:31 AM
I should probably just let this go, but I'm actually quite pissed. I visit this site for reviews of movies, books etc. Sometimes there are links for interesting stories that some will find fascinating/humorous/distracting. I have come to expect a certain calibre of comments, and refrain from making them myself.
Callous remarks about tragedies that occured what, two weeks ago? Not so much. Please keep in mind that most Canadians can probably recite the list of victims of violent crimes perpetuated by strangers in this nation, as the numbers are so low. If Nosek feels that this is an appropriate punchline for an attempted joke (about ANOTHER violent crime, no less), then she should feel entirely comfortable forwarding her post to McLean's family and friends for their review. Sort of like...if you're gonna pass notes in class, you should be prepared to read them for everyone. It's called accountability, y'all.
Posted by: willow at August 13, 2008 12:31 AM
As someone who was berated for mentionning the Tim McLean murder earlier, and as someone who is related to him, I feel comfortable enough to say this: His immediate family is not concerned with comments made on this website or any other. They are busy in court.
If people express shock/horror by making inappropriate jokes, then by all means - go for it. People deal with messed up stuff in very different ways. And while some people may be offended by these comments, others may feel relief that they can find comradery in the absurd.
Also, it's free speech, guys. Without it, Homeland Security would've shut down this site years ago and the Anti-Panda-Rape-Brigade would've locked up a number of well-known commenters.
Posted by: popejenn at August 13, 2008 12:43 AM
Re: "going greyhound"
Nosek, you're on notice. Not cool at all. I get you're trying to be some kind of wacky MC here but the line is somewhere behind you. For the first time, you have greatly disappointed me. [lowers mask] It had better be the last time.
Willow et all, agreed with you. Popejenn, as your reformed berator, I agree it's free speech. Not only do people have the right to be tasteless and offensive, many thrive on it. And it's legal if not encouraged. That doesn't entitle them to a smooth reception or widespread approval - the backlash also falls under free speech. The process of joking and backlash defines what's generally acceptable, and if it were a family member making jokes to cope with their problems, I'd wince but stay silent. A stranger making a bad joke for cheap laughs is disrespectful, and that's why I feel Nosek crossed the line.
Posted by: lordhelmet at August 13, 2008 12:51 AM
I wasn't offended, either. I'm not Canadian, and I'm also a heinous bitch, so maybe those things make my opinion on this matter worthless, but I wasn't offended in the least. I find those doing the stabbing offensive, but it doesn't bother me if people talk or joke about it. I mean, like popejenn said, sometimes you just have to make jokes about death and tragedy, otherwise you'd spend all your free time crying and throwing up. That'd be a hot mess, and a total waste of the short lives we're given.
Now let's all get drunk and make out.
PS - Ix-nay on the omeland-Hay ecurity-Say! They already took a giant dump in this sandbox once, and it was HELL cleaning up after those assholes.
I love the free speech defense, but only if people agree with me! HAH.
I'm already drunk and making out with my computer screen. Taste my happy. Taste it!

Maybe this time Sir Rowles can have an off-site backup, mirror site ready to arise from the ashes, and friendly off-shore host/server ready to take over (but not Sweden, they just passed some crazy surveillance law.)
Sarina honey, you're opinion's far from worthless. You've even got a point there. But tell me, in October 2001, who woulda caught less shit for joking about September's events - an American barely holding it together, clearly needing to cope, or some attention-seeking, entirely unaffected Spaniard in no danger of crying or throwing up? The problem isn't the joking, it's the reason for it and who's doing it. Nosek's not coping, she's just being an insensitive twit. Hence the backlash, and hopefully the end of another lesson on balancing free speech with basic decency. And now, yes, let the drunken orgy begin! I'll let my drunken deputy meaux handle the drinking, and my morale officer Julie handle the making out - ya gotta stick with your strengths!
Posted by: lordhelmet at August 13, 2008 1:19 AM
My strengths, you say...? Those mostly involves kissing the screen and inappropriately probing usb ports.
I've got no obvious useful talents, they are more hidden vials of awesome that I drink to become the ultimate popejenn, ready to take control of the Vatican once and for all, but then gets drunk & high and just kind of wanders off.
lordhelmet, what would your strengths be? Doll Drama? Hanging on at Ludicrous Speed? Are these strengths teachable?
Posted by: popejenn at August 13, 2008 1:44 AM
popejenn, I suggest you close your blinds - those strengths of yours are likely to bring Shadows and his camcorder to your bushes and nearby trees one of these nights! I look forward to seeing the ultimate popejenn, that should be fun! Care to sign on to the crew of Spaceball 2/MurderMaid? I'll let you be...chief weapons officer. My strengths include Schwartz Ring Torture, Watching Radar, Volatile Irritability and Impatience, and Making (poor) Impromptu Command Decisions. Yes, they are all teachable. (the dolls are more of a hobby, not a strength, sorry.)
Posted by: lordhelmet at August 13, 2008 1:52 AM
It wouldn't have bothered me any more if Stace had made the same joke about Todd Bachman, and I live in Minnesota and I know his family. I guess I'm also an insensitive twit... or maybe neither of us is, and different people perceive senseless tragedy in different ways, and some find black humour to be the most cathartic? Decency is more than a little subjective, after all. I rather suspect that what little I find to be mildly indecent would make many of you pass out from shock.
lordhelmet, I would be honoured to join your crew. I could also be your Chief Spiritual Advisor. But as the world's first female athiest de-virginized pope who enjoys getting drunk, high and naked, you may regret the decision.
I'm currently re-watching Silence of the Lambs, a movie of which I am intensely attached to and find humorous for some pretty fucked up reasons. Sarina, I sense that you and I may be humour-soul-mates. I'll make out with you anytime even with Shadows recording!
Posted by: popejenn at August 13, 2008 2:10 AM
Welcome aboard popejenn, you're sure to be a lot of fun. Maybe I could have you and Julie challenge each other for crazy behaviour - XO Shadows will have to document everything and perhaps consult with other experts, but it'll be good. And I must say, you'd be the liveliest pope in centuries! I love the Lambs trilogy (of 4, technically) - good choice!
Sarina, I see your point and I respect your views, and appreciate how you presented them. I'll admit to being very deliberately hostile and insensitive to certain groups/people that "earn it," so it's not like I speak from a great moral high ground, I just make darned sure to keep away from innocent bystanders and minimise collateral damage. I think in most situations we'd get along quite well. Can we agree to civilly disagree on some things? Shall we carry on with the drunkenness then? You're quite welcome onboard Spaceball 2/MurderMaid at any time, as guest or crew.

I only watched the first 3 of the "series". The last one dealing with Hannibal's rise made me wary, as a younger actor doing the whole Anthony Hopkins thing would make me retch and laugh. I would hate for the creepy-factor to be thusly dismissed from that character which so frightened me as a pre-teen when it first came out.
Posted by: popejenn at August 13, 2008 3:46 AM
My personal barometer for tastelessness is measured almost entirely by the "Was It Funny?"-meter. You can get away with an awful lot if it's genuinely amusing, and not with much if it falls flat. And I've gotta say, I found "went all greyhound" terribly amusing. That probably makes me a bad person, but what odds? As someone above mentioned, it's not like I'm attacking people myself, I just have a twisted sense of humour. There are worse things I could do. Where's the harm in deriving sick humour from an admittedly tragic event, if that's what helps people deal with the crappiness in the world around them? (And I don't buy the "you're not in our country, ergo it can't affect you the same way" argument. As someone who has grown up in a country with a heavily disputed border, one that people have died over, I find international boundaries to be somewhat artificial most of the time. We're all people)
Mara, I'm almost afraid to ask but why are the Phelps brigade protesting his funeral? Does God hate people who get cut to pieces by lunatics too?
And re: Jake Gyllenhaal, given that he is the guy who topped my top 5, I'll take him pretty much any way I can get him (one of those pits with the leaves spread over the top would seem to be my best bet right now). Given the choice, though, I'll take Jarhead Jake (but maybe with Darko's hair). PoP Jake just looks faintly ridiculous to me (albeit the kind of 'faintly ridiculous' that I'd still do unholy things to)

"Mara, I'm almost afraid to ask but why are the Phelps brigade protesting his funeral? Does God hate people who get cut to pieces by lunatics too?"
Mo(Meaux) is correct. Tim McLean was horrifically murdered because here in Canada, we like homosexuality, abortion, immigration, etc, etc. As far as I know, they're not being allowed into the country (they were trying to get into my goddamn province to protest a showing of The Laramie Project in Red Deer - about an hour or so away from where I live.) So, we'll see on that note.
Normally I don't mind dark humor, but to me, the 'Greyhound' was just a little too soon, and the joke fell really flat.
...now let's all get drunk and play ping-pong!
Posted by: Mara at August 13, 2008 9:59 AM
As a pope, I get many questions thrown my way about what God wants, the meaning of the bible, and why I'm passed out nude in their house. And though God speaks to me, he refuses to acknowledge the Phelps Party lest he gives them legitimacy. He's busy enough trying to keep the peace in other parts of the world to be concerned about Canada's laws granting people basic human rights.
As a female athiest de-virginized pope who enjoys getting drunk, high and naked - I don't think the Phelps Party takes me seriously when I tell them that.

My friends and I were sitting around being all cool-like when one of us dropped a "went Greyhound". We decided that it wasn't funny at this time, but that in the future, it may possibly sorta kinda become funny.

Posted by: samantha t at August 13, 2008 10:32 AM
Really, I don't think this whole thing is "Canadian specific." Sure, when things happen on one's home turf it may send a different kind of shock. Still, anyone anywhere that hears about this is going to be slammed in the face with possibilities of horrors that exist in human nature.
Now, on a "tasteless" note: As hard as he tried, my dad couldn't contain himself from breaking out into "Blame Canada". I at least tried not to give it even a smile, I swear.

Christ. I didn't even get the notion of Stacey trying to be "funny". A bit of sardonic topical shorthand maybe, but it's not like anyone finds murderous assault and maiming actually amusing, as seems to have been implied.
Stacey, everyone on this site is going to hell; the question is which circle you're burning in. Right now I'm thinking 6th, but I'm open to correction.
MO, Mara, it makes perfect sense when you think about it. Legalising gay marraige causes mental illness and violence. That's why I live in a good, God-fearing Catholic country where we certainly aren't remembering the 10th anniversary of horrific religiously-motivated bombings this weekend...oh, wait.

I've already commented at her blog, but my thoughts are definitely with Ms Pink and family. Do we have someone in the area who'd be able to be like a Pajibaverse Ambassador to Cancerville and pay her a home/hospital visit sometime? Maybe someone bearing t-shirts or something? It's one thing to get a shipment of love, but a human touch would probably go further.
Posted by: lordhelmet at August 13, 2008 1:57 PM
Strong prayers of peace and healing for Ms Pink and her family.
I knew someone would try to do a 9/11 comparison to the Greyhound incident. Please, tragic as it was, that was no 9/11. How long do you think it took for the term 'gone postal' to enter our vernacular? That seems like a much more apt comparison.
I'm old enough to remember the Challenger jokes. Those didn't take very long either.
