Pajiba Love | August 20, 2009 | Comments (51)

Since tomorrow is National Avatar Day, and I know how totally, totally excited everyone here at Pajiba is about Avatar, here is a safety manual so your Avatar Day can go as safely and smoothly as possible. (Screen Junkies)

Great news everybody, Paris Hilton was cleared in an $8.3 million dollar lawsuit for failing to promote her movie Pledge This. So now she can instead spend that money on diamond necklaces for her chihuahuas. (Gordon and the Whale)

Not that it’s necessarily a slow news day that I would need filler like this, but anyone interested in what the crackfabulous Courtney Love is posting on her twitter page these days? Sure you are. (Webster’s)

I didn’t even know that people actually still played Xbox anymore, but apparently the ones that do are experiencing fail of epic levels. Thanks, Darcy! (IGN)

Here’s a first look at Al Pacino as old grandpa Jack Kevorkian for his upcoming HBO biopic, You Don’t Know Jack. (Agent Bedhead)

Here’s a list of the top ten Quentin Tarantino characters. Agree? Disagree? (Rope of Silicon)

I don’t know who this little man in the Luchador outfit is (although I’m quite sure someone will fill me and scold me for not knowing) but he gives quite the dissertation on the difference between an “independent” film and an “indie” film. Thanks, Luke! (Homestar Runner)

When you write a pop culture link column, this is the sort of shit that finds its way into your inbox on basically a daily basis. And since I had to watch this, so do you people. You’re welcome. (Flickr)

For everyone who bitches about the video ads we run here on Pajiba, just think, it could always be worse. (Celebitchy)

“Small Wonder” is finally coming to DVD, so we can finally get the hotly anticipated answer as to whether or not that kid was really Billy Corgan. (TV Shows on DVD)

That murderer guy just threw a huge, murderey wrench into VH1’s entire programming line-up. (DListed)

Oh, and here are 25 things made out of meat. Because, gross. (Holy Taco)

The editors who put together the Twilight: New Moon trailer basically just didn’t give a shit whatsoever. (Slowly Going Bald)

And on that note, thank goodness someone on the internet did give a shit, because now have this work of brilliance. Thanks, Pissboy!

Y'all: don't look at that Flickr thing. Just don't. It's not that it's not work-safe or that it's gross or anything, it's just...it'll give you fucking nightmares. Just trust me and DON'T, okay.

Posted by: Jerce at August 20, 2009 1:10 PM

I'm as excited for "Avatar Day" as I am for "Kick My Testicles With a Steel-Toed Boot Day."

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at August 20, 2009 1:10 PM

Holy shit that rastabortionist thing made me literally scream laughter in the empty apartment and my neighbors must think I'm insane and holy shit this is fucking precious. Awesome.

And ha. Suck it, Vh1. This is what happens when you let anyone get on your channel. You WILL get anyone. ANYONE.

I've learned to not click on anything that Stacey links to out of revenge. Someone tell me what it is k thanks.

Posted by: figgy at August 20, 2009 1:13 PM

The MeatWear Collection from Christian Dior. Because you're really into fat dudes.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at August 20, 2009 1:15 PM

Well I wasn't going to look at it, Jerce, but whatever it is, you must just want it for yourself.

Posted by: annoyingmouse at August 20, 2009 1:18 PM

Okay you can keep it, Jerce.

Posted by: annoyingmouse at August 20, 2009 1:20 PM

Noooo, it's not the video ads that are the problem. It's those full screen ones that suck.

And why are the comments still loading so slowly? Not One Word have I seen in reply from the management.

Posted by: Jay at August 20, 2009 1:21 PM

It's like this, Jay. If I could fix the comments, I would. But it involves a lot of technical expertise I don't have, so Seth has to do it. However, Seth has a 90-hour work week, which hasn't yet afforded him the time to spend a few hours combing through a bunch of code. He'll get to it, though. Soon. In fact, we may switch to a different commenting system all together.

My apologies for the frustrations.

The Flickr thing is fine. Don't let Stacey scare you. It took me a minute to figure out what it really was (SPOILER face paint of Humpty Dumpty), but it does give off a killer clown vibe.

I'm a vegetarian, but I kinda want the meat suitcase, and I don't know why.

Posted by: BWeaves at August 20, 2009 1:32 PM

Wanna know what the 26th thing made out of meat is?

YOU. You're full of it. Full of meat. Meaty, meaty, moist and meaty.

Posted by: BWeaves at August 20, 2009 1:39 PM

Ah, Homestar Runner, it's been a long time.

Posted by: Stacynotstacey at August 20, 2009 1:40 PM

But it involves a lot of technical expertise I don't have, so Seth has to do it.


My apologies for the frustrations.

Typical, blame it on the other guy.

This place is going straight to hell.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at August 20, 2009 1:40 PM

Thank you, Dustin.

Posted by: Jay at August 20, 2009 1:41 PM

I don't like the Humpty Dumpty face. Sweet fucking Christ, I DO NOT LIKE IT!

Posted by: Sarina at August 20, 2009 1:44 PM

Wow, Pajiba linked both IGN and Homestar Runner. Thanks for reducing my browser tabs.

Posted by: J Stride at August 20, 2009 1:44 PM

BWeaves that is a LIE. I am made of sugar and spice and everything nice.

So, there.

Posted by: figgy at August 20, 2009 1:45 PM

Yeah, so I thought that Avatar was the same thing as The Last Airbender, but I now know better. I'm still indifferent to both movies.

Posted by: henchman for hire at August 20, 2009 1:45 PM

Unless I know exactly what I'm getting into, I do not click those skeery links. Fucking feet-headed babies.

Posted by: Cindy at August 20, 2009 1:50 PM

DAMN YOU TO HELL NOSEK! Black Jesus, I don't even have enough alcohol to drink the memories of that away. I expect a box of wine in the mail, woman. Two even.

At least he didn't find some way to blame it on the blacks this time. Maybe the Jews.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at August 20, 2009 2:06 PM

In reference to that Flikr video: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

That is all.

Posted by: ZombieNurse at August 20, 2009 2:19 PM

Figgy: "BWeaves that is a LIE. I am made of sugar and spice and everything nice.

So, there."

So Figgy, you're tell me that you've NEVER had a little bit of meat in you? LIAR, LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE.

I might also note, Jay, that it's the page rebuild and not the comments that are slow. After you post a comment, if you wait just five seconds after you hit "Post Comment" and then hit refresh on your browser, the comment should be there. You don't have to hang out and wait for it to rebuild.

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at August 20, 2009 2:25 PM

How the fuck did they manage to keep "Dusk 'till Dawn" characters off the top 10 list for Tarantino movies? Seriously, did they even watch the god damned movie? Some of the best quotes in the history of quotes came from that show, and we get nothin'. Two characters from 'Bsterds' (which the majority of humanity hasn't seen yet), but nothing from one of the best B flick vampire movies of all time?

Richie, would you do me a favor and eat my pussy for me... please?

Posted by: Xtreme at August 20, 2009 2:29 PM

I think it's kinda funny that you say that you didn't think anyone played Xbox anymore. The video game industry continually makes mounds, yes mounds, more money than the film industry. The demographic has shifted away from children towards people like me: Mid-twenties males with a lack of forward momentum.

Posted by: adam at August 20, 2009 2:30 PM

Hee. Love that StrongBad has finally made it to Pajiba.

Posted by: Anne (in Reno) at August 20, 2009 2:35 PM

Xtreme, From Dusk Til Dawn was actually directed by Robert Rodriguez.

"For everyone who bitches about the video ads we run here on Pajiba, just think, it could always be worse."

I'm pretty sure the video ads in magazines won't force me to shut down my browser window, the way the video ads on Pajiba often do. I can simply tear those pages out of the magazine. So, actually, no: it can't be worse. You guy's are still it.

Posted by: Mike B. at August 20, 2009 2:49 PM

That... that Humpty Dumpty clip is incredibly disturbing. Now I'm scared of eggs.

Posted by: Sofía at August 20, 2009 2:57 PM

HOLY HELL did anyone else hear those noises from the Humpty Dumpty video? That combined with the writhing facial tics, I won't sleep peacefully for a fucking WEEK.

Posted by: DawnDraper at August 20, 2009 3:20 PM

Huh. Strong Bad is still funny. Who knew?

Posted by: kelsy at August 20, 2009 3:22 PM

Ha! They look like thumbs!

"You've got a pea on your head, dear."

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at August 20, 2009 3:28 PM

Dammit. More appropriate would have been, "What a whiner that kid is."

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at August 20, 2009 3:30 PM

"For everyone who bitches about the video ads we run here on Pajiba, just think, it could always be worse."

Yeah, it could also be better. Those experiencing difficulties should try running a browser with ad-blocks. Personally I use the fox with two ad blockers and don't remember the time when I actually came to this site and experienced any obnoxious advertisements or browser interrupting pop-ups. It really has changed one of the most annoying things about these series of tubes for me. You should check into it, no matter what the browser (they all have some form of them, including Chrome and I.E.) and surprisingly, you don't have to be tech savvy to install them.

Secondly, I have no idea why Ms (Mrs?) Nosek has a hard time believing that people still play Xbox. With over 30 million units sold since it's launch, everyone and their mother's seem to be in on it. Literally. 1 vs 100 seems to be very popular among the older, ignorant (ahem), and just non-gaming types. But thank you for dismissing a medium that generates more revenue than the film industry though. Top notch linking Stacy.

I can still see Humpty Dumpty when I close me eyes.

I'm going to need a young priest and an old priest.

Posted by: NJ at August 20, 2009 3:38 PM

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at August 20, 2009 2:25 PM

I see you've fixed the problem by just eliminating comments altogether from today's Seriously Random List.

Now if only Bush had taken this approach during his presidency.

Posted by: ed newman at August 20, 2009 3:41 PM

"Post Comment" and then hit refresh on your browser, the comment should be there. You don't have to hang out and wait for it to rebuild.

Oh so now we are supposed to be spending half our day refreshing this fucking thing? What are we "Refreshers"? We don't work for you sir, do you have a single thread of decency?

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at August 20, 2009 3:50 PM

Does anyone else just see: James Cameron does Pocahontas...in space...with aliens?

Posted by: Pandemic at August 20, 2009 4:02 PM

Thank you Pajiba. Until today I was entirely unaware of the meat-as-apparel phenom that seems to be gaining a following.
Might I say:
EWWW.

Posted by: Mike B. at August 20, 2009 2:49 PM
"I can simply tear those pages out of the magazine."
THAT is some funny shit right there.

Also: Humpty Dumpty freaks my shit out.
That is all.

Posted by: Lindsey with an 'e' at August 20, 2009 5:10 PM

Apropos of nothing, THIS is extremely hilarious. And only slightly less disturbing than the Humpty Dumpty thing.

Despite adblock, some new ad doesn't play well with our netnanny software at work, and freezes up Firefox and IE. Chrome seems to at least not freeze up. But, it's a pain.

I strongly suspect those Chili's ads.

Posted by: Drake at August 20, 2009 5:28 PM

Thanks Lindsey with an 'e'

"You can't fool drool" is my new motto!

Posted by: Drake at August 20, 2009 5:34 PM

BWeaves I ADMIT NOTHING.

Also, you are evil. That almost made me spit water all over the screen.

Posted by: figgy at August 20, 2009 5:58 PM

Personally I use the fox with two ad blockers

IE7Pro works great for me, but there's no ad blocking at work...

which is what Pajiba's for!!!

Posted by: Jay at August 20, 2009 6:04 PM

The BEST Strong Bad e-mail of ever is the Kids Book one. Srsly. Go find it and watch it and love it.

Posted by: Gabs at August 20, 2009 7:37 PM

Ha! Hahahahahah! I didn't look at the Holy Taco link until just now (it tends to lock up my work computer for some reason).

Meat curtains.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at August 20, 2009 10:10 PM

Fucking feet-headed babies.

Speaking of which, are we ever going to see new Pajiba t-shirts? My wardrobe needs Brainfoot (and sweater-vest zombie!) emblazoned on pre-shrunk cotton.

Posted by: Lauren at August 20, 2009 10:23 PM

I haven't seen a Strong Bad email in *years*, so was a great way to finish my day! Back in 2003, me and some friends etched a Trogdor into the top of the Eiffel Tower...

Posted by: eskiimomo at August 21, 2009 1:46 AM

Posted by: tallloving c o m at August 21, 2009 3:35 AM

I don't care about the full-screen ads, and I can deal with the slow comment loading.
But that one on the left exorting people to anonymously snitch on so-called internet 'pirates'? Not cool.

Posted by: Tarn at August 21, 2009 6:49 AM

You don't know who Strong Bad is AND you don't realize that 17 million people hold XBox Live accounts? I can't relate to you at all.

(Okay, yes, I did just have to look that subscriber number up, but I knew it was a lot!)
