Supersize This

There’s some asinine new hippie documentary out where a family tries to live carbon footprint free for a year, so with that, here are six “stunt documentaries.” And by stunt documentaries we mean, “no shit fast food is bad for you.” (PW)

Dan the man Carlson is writing for the Houston Press now, so go give our boy some love. In his first week? He tackles “Dancing with the Stars.” You know you love it. (Houston Press)

I planned to review the new “Melrose Place” but never got around to it, but spoiler alert — I kinda love it. Which is why I’m kinda totally psyched out the ass to hear that HEATHER LOCKLEAR is coming back! YES. (Celebitchy)

I love this news so much I want to take it behind the middle school and feed it fried chicken: Kevin Federline is going to appear on the next season of “Celebrity Fit Club.” Clear my schedule. (Webster’s)

There’s this picture of Nicolas Cage dressed like Superman that’s been floating around the internet for the past day or so, and it first I discounted it because totally didn’t think it was real. Oh, it’s real all right. (Topless Robot)

Oh look, Will Ferrel and a bunch of celebrities made a funny video with a statement about America’s socioeconomic political landscape. Is it time for lunch yet? (Gordon and the Whale)

Mike Seaver is horrified — horrified! — that atheists are brainwashing America’s children. For example, did you know that you can’t even pass out bibles in public schools? The horror! (Village Voice)

I like how yogurt companies are always coming up with innovative ways to make yogurt taste less like yogurt. I approve. (Impulsive Buy)

For no reason whatsoever, here are some commercials featuring adorable animals dressed in clothing. (Warming Glow)

I’ve seen a lot of lists of things that pertain to movies, but the sexiest shower scenes in sci-fi movies (with video, exclamation points) is a new one on me. Don’t thank me, thank Miss Cindy for this. (Sci-Fi Wire)

Ew, ew, ew. I don’t know why this grosses me out so much, but Jason Segel and Chloe “However the Fuck You Spell Her Last Name” Sevigny were caught making out at an Emmy party. (DListed)

Oh my God you guys, Riverdance Dog — who has taken the internet by storm — is my new favorite thing ever. As soon as I’m done writing this column I’m just going to watch it on a loop until I giggle so hard I piss my pants:

RiverDog is AWESOME.

Segel and Sevigny is NOT. Oh, Jason! Why ya gotta break a girl's heart!?

I'm in favor of any yogurt that moves away from having gross slimy chunks of what may have once been fruit but now looks like half digested gummi bears in it. At the bottom, at the top, I don't care, I want YOGURT not whatever the hell red stuff you put in there and called "strawberry preserves" which makes me gag.

I'm kind of particular about food textures.

Hee. That dog MADE MY DAY. Thanks, Stacey.

RiverDog fucking RULES!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn it, I got the "Two Truths and a Lie" wrong, why couldn't I have been right.

Posted by: George at September 23, 2009 1:18 PM

Ah... It has been a few years since I'd seen that adorable little football fan
attached to anything. Delightful little tot, aint he? You're number one too,
sweetpea! [big laugh]. Which team is he rooting for again??

I'm with my ginger-haired food-texture-particular Pjiblet bud up there. I like
my yogurt and my ice cream and mashers for that matter, *chunk-free*.
You know what does work though? Those cottage cheese and jammy things.
I think they're called Knundsen doubles. I'd never had sweet with my cottage-y
curds before I bought one of those.

Let's hear it for Riverdance Dog. Anything Irish, dog-related and cute - has
got my vote.

Oh yeah. Happy Humpy Day Pajiba! I think I've had too much coffee. I'm
feeling way too frakin perky.

Fuck Kevin Federline.

I'm shocked at the fact Nicole Eggert let herself go.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at September 23, 2009 1:20 PM

I imagine Darwin is stirring in his grave right now. And that soon he will awaken, dig his way out, and hunt down Cameron & Comfort. And then feast on their brains.

*sigh* A girl can dream.

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at September 23, 2009 1:22 PM

That Nic Cage as Superman photo is absolutely horrifying... How could anyone - ANYONE - thought that would have been a good idea? Sweet baskets of sweaty poo, what an absolutely shitty decision... I have to go make my lunch come out the same way it went in...

Posted by: Skitz at September 23, 2009 1:23 PM

Mike Seaver and the Banana Blow-Job Guy know that the Bible itself was/is used to profess pretty ugly ideas -- from Jim Jones to the worst of the Inquisition, right? (He asked rhetorically.) So the fact that Hitler owned a copy of, and agreed with the ideas in, The Origin of Species, means...well...bupkes.

(My favorite moment in that video is when Kirk Cameron gets up out of his chair in a I'm-getting-fucking-real-here way.)

Posted by: Mike B. at September 23, 2009 1:25 PM

Kevin Federline on Celebrity Fit Club? Makes perfect sense, but don't you have to be a, y'know, celebrity to be on a show like that? K-Fed's celebrity status rests somewhere between Aaron Carter, and the local TV anchor from the state of Wyoming.

Posted by: George at September 23, 2009 1:25 PM

That Nic Cage pic is HILARIOUS. I laughed so hard. i think I'd actually pay money to see that movie!! It would've been so unintentionally funny. Is it just me or does Nic Cage in that pic resemble Marilyn Manson a little?

Posted by: barf at September 23, 2009 1:28 PM

The Fug Girls TOTALLY called it!! between Jason segel and Chole Sevigny! CRAZY.

Posted by: dene at September 23, 2009 1:29 PM

How did they get that egotistical Flatley into a doggie costume?

Posted by: Cindy at September 23, 2009 1:30 PM

Goddamnit Stacey, you spoiled Two Truths and a Lie!!

What kind of shanty operation are y'all running here?

Posted by: Seany D at September 23, 2009 1:44 PM

Can someone confirm that the banner pic is in fact the original? Hilarious that kid's wearing a Feyenoord jersey, must've been an Ajax game.

I only ask because they have that kid wearing a Red Sox jersey in another pic, which only lead me to make more jokes about the Ped Sox and their "World Championships" being faker than a three dollar bill.

I'll let Kirk Cameron distribute Bibles in public school when he allows the Koran and Torah and Watchtower to be handed out right alongside.

"I'll let Kirk Cameron distribute Bibles in public school when he allows the Koran and Torah and Watchtower to be handed out right alongside."

Ditto, scorzi - I'm also petitioning for the distribution of the TOOTBOG* teachings.

I wish their supposed "Rapture" would hurry the hell up and happen, already, so Cameron and his ilk can leave the rest of us heathens behind, in blissful peace and quiet from their ramblings.

Posted by: Rykker at September 23, 2009 2:19 PM

FUCK YES!!! I knew it was only a matter of time, Danny boy! So proud, and Im running out to grab one today!

My brother the dog trainer is single in Jersey City. Ladies? Interested? He's about to open a brewery too. Quite a catch!

Posted by: amanda47 at September 23, 2009 2:39 PM

OK, forget "theatrical shame," here's my real Pajiba shame:

I HAVE to watch Dancing With The Stars.

And since I have to watch it anyway, I actually enjoy it. My mom was a semi-professional ballroom dancer, and she watches it religiously, of course. And I am forced to watch it so that she has someone to kibitz about it with her.

Dan, great article.

Posted by: MM at September 23, 2009 2:47 PM

Aww, funny doggie.

K-Fed scared the shit out of me. Y'all don't suppose he porked up just to get some famewhoring on FitClub, do ya?

Kirk Cameron needs to be stopped. I say we send him as a missionary to the mountains of Pakistan.

Posted by: Lindsey with an 'e' at September 23, 2009 2:55 PM

Oh yeah, and great review Dan. Congrats on the new gig.

Single?! Dog trainer?! Brewery?!

Oh. Jersey.

Sorry, that's the dealbreaker.

I am now on the market and live in NYC. How old is he? Tell him he can take the PATH train over for our first date.

Posted by: scorzi at September 23, 2009 3:40 PM

Brewery?!

Step off, bitches, Slim's on the prowl.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at September 23, 2009 4:30 PM

Who's Danny Boy, Patty O'Green? And what ye be grabbing when you go?
My curiosity is all pricked (perked? pickled?) now. ;-D

@Amanda47: Darn. The Jersey City / distance thing is a deal breaker.
I'm in So CA. I've heard the East Coast is kinda... uhm... dodgey {J/K!}

Posted by: Ms MoMo at September 23, 2009 4:32 PM

I think Danny Boy is Dan Carlson.
No?

Posted by: Lindsey with an 'e' at September 23, 2009 4:38 PM


PSA:
Unless you enjoy living in a calm submissive state, do not date animal trainers. We have a way of running the show, often quietly and politely, that can be, ummm, domineering.
Unless you like that sort of thing, and if you do, call me!

*raises and lowers eyebrows*

Hi, there..

just one question:

Do you have a brewery?

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at September 23, 2009 4:51 PM

Alas, I have no Brewery, but I do live in Portland OR, home of a ridiculous number of Brewery's.

Now, sit there quietly until told to do otherwise.
Please.

Posted by: Lindsey with an 'e' at September 23, 2009 5:20 PM

..Yes mistress.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at September 23, 2009 5:26 PM

Good Boy, you and I are going to get along just fine.

OK, go and play, I have to go to work. Those horses aren't going to train themselves. But I have an expectation that you will come when I call. If you are extra good, there will be biscuits and tummy rubs. {wink wink}

Posted by: Lindsey with an 'e' at September 23, 2009 5:33 PM

Dear Kirk Cameron,
You are not going to convert anyone to Christianity with crazy videos and conspiracy theories about brainwashing. In fact, you make Christians like me want to beat you with every book in the insipid Left Behind series. Now, kindly shut up and go away.

Sincerely,
Stardust and every other sane Christian everywhere

Posted by: stardust savant at September 23, 2009 5:45 PM

Can you imagine what would happen if someone tried to hand out The Koran in schools? Christian parents would lose their shit...

Posted by: Kurdt at September 23, 2009 6:57 PM

Just wanted to drop in and applaud our Canadian friends for walking out of the UN on Ahmadinejad's speech. Bravo! Gooooooooo, Canada!

Posted by: , (the commenter formerly known as bucdaddy) at September 23, 2009 7:42 PM

Heh. We had a woman here who tried to pass out bookcovers with the Ten Commandments on them. She wanted district officials to pass them out--teachers, principals, etc. School district said no fracking way lady. (I live in Texas, by the way.)

So she asks HEY free access! It's in the law! So I can just have them AVAILABLE to the kids, right? School district's lawyer said dat's true, she can set them out. But no one can hand them out.

So she goes about getting bazillions of them printed up and the Metroplex Atheist Society says HEY we heard 'bout this you crazy bitches! We have our OWN bookcover! We want to set OURS out!

Ten Commandments book cover lady is SO freaked out by this idea that she asks the atheists, hey will you not set out yours if I don't set out mine?

Atheists say sure, whatevs.

So she doesn't set hers out. She's out the thousands of dollars she personally paid to have the book covers printed. Can't set them in the schools because the second that's known, the atheists will do the same.

The punch line: atheists never had a book cover. They WERE going to print one up, if need be (and had better funding) but it was just going to have some bad-ass quotes from Thomas Jefferson and the like about separation of church and state, not stuff like "WE HEART THE DEVIL" like CrazyLady feared.

But ha! They didn't even have one!

Posted by: Snuggiepants the Deathbringer at September 23, 2009 8:33 PM

Snuggiepants,

That's a great story which makes me want to tell the following story:

Last Christmas, at the Capitol Building in Washington (state), an atheist group put up a sign next to a Christmas tree display that goes up every year. The sign read as follows:

"At this season of the Winter Solstice may reason prevail. There are no gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or hell. There is only our natural world. Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds."

You would not BELIEVE the shitstorm this caused. (OK, you probably would believe it.) You would think they'd hung an eviscerated kitten from the mistletoe. (Actually, very few people would care about that.) Honestly, those are just words. They're just an opinion. They're no less valid a belief than Christianity. I understand that those words could be offensive and downright hurtful to a lot of people. But I am EQUALLY offended when people tell me "Jesus died for your sins." It's just that as an American, I'm used to getting told that on a regular basis, so I just get used to it. In college, I had some devout Jewish friends who talked about how it really chapped their hide when public tax dollars in their towns got used for Christmas displays. But they're a minority, so nobody cares. They could kick and scream about it, but it wouldn't do any good. Separation of church and state should be exactly that. But it never will be.

P.S. I HATE KIRK CAMERON!

It's said more and more celebrities have their profiles on a great millionaire dating site____W e a l t h y S o c i a l . C O M_______ . The best club for seeking the rich singles, sexy beauties and even hot celebs...You should check it out!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Posted by: Jessie at September 24, 2009 10:30 AM

I do have the rather perfect foil for Kirk Cameron's "Christians Trying to Stay Relevant Day".

Why don't we write a 50 page intro to the bible, and hand those motherfuckers out right next to him?

We could have fun little tidbits like an entire sections devoted to;

"STUFF PEOPLE BELIEVED WAS TRUE WHEN THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN" -- including tidbits like "the world was flat!", "North and South America didn't exist!", and "most of the world was polytheistic, what happened to their Gods and Godettes?!"

"FUN FACTS THE BIBLE ENDORSES" -- with excerpts such as "eating shellfish is a sin", and "it's okay to rape a woman as long as you marry her".

"AMAZING ADVANCES IN SCIENCE SINCE THE TIME OF JESUS" -- a wonderful list encompassing "computers!", "medicine", "the timeline of the universe", and my personal favorite "everything in the known world since we didn't know shit back then".

You could also have your little serious parts of the book, like how most biblical stories are rip-offs from other cultures (apparently Moses was an entirely Sumerian story or something), or how anyone with half a brain realizes that our knowledge changes every day. You know, the idea that the Origin of Species is not the final book on scientific study, but merely a basis for over 150 years of amazing scientific discovery.

Cause let's get real here, anyone who believes a book that's many years old contains the answer to every question, when our own knowledge is advancing at incredible rates, must be crazy, right?

(quick personal note; I don't disrespect anyone for their beliefs unless they refuse things like facts and overwhelming evidence and logic. Might be a God, might not. Up to you to decide. Not Kirk Cameron.)
