It’s official! Stephen Colbert has humbled Kanye West, whether Kanye West likes it or not. (Hint: He doesn’t) (CC Insider)

Madonna hopped into the way-back machine for her new ad campaign with Louis Vuitton. (WIMB)

Instead of sugarplums and candy canes, maybe your child would like a little arsenic and lead for Christmas this year. (QuizLaw)

Obama hasn’t even been sworn in yet and ignorant, asshole rednecks are already trying to start blaming him for shit. (Deus Ex Malcontent)

The Grammy nominees were announced last night with a prime time concert. Because even in a recession, self-congratulatory awards shows can find the most ridiculous and extravagant way to do everything. (Yeeeah!)

This is quite possibly the most badass thing Metallica has ever done. (AgentBedhead)

Here is an online comic strip timewaster suggestion from reader firedmyass. You may have heard of it, but I haven’t anyway, so here it is! (Achewood)

Ugh. Here’s the ex-head of the Playboy harem sans makeup and also sans plastic surgery. Just goes to show you, while maybe not anyone can be Vice President, literally anyone can be a Playboy model. (IDLYITW)

Guns don’t kill people. “Bad” “Ass” guns kill people. (UnnecessaryQuotes)

To this day I still have scars in my ears because I pierced them myself like ten times in high school. Shut up, it was cool back then. Anyway, while that wasn’t exactly what you’d call self-mutilation, this still made that Kashi bar want to come up. (Jezebel)

OK, I know how many of you feel about the LOL I Can Has Cheezburger bullshittery movement, but I couldn’t help posting this. (LOLHipster)

This is so cute it makes me forget for a moment how much I hate mice. Insolent, turd-leaving little beasts. (CuteOverload)

I missed this clip for yesterday’s Pajiba Love and by the time I could get around to posting it, it was already everywhere. So, just in case you just woke up from hibernation and haven’t seen it yet, here is the Prop 8 Musical:

I think it's cute when you discover new things online, Stacey, keep them coming! I mean that in all seriousness, I'm not being snarky. It gets me excited for them all over again.

I think it woulda been cuter had the mouse been napping on a turd. In a little sailor hat. A nautical theme...

That bumper sticker's nothing, the other day I was reading about some nut jobs who have made it their mission to ferret out Obama's birth certificate because they believe he was not born in Hawai'i, but in Kenya, which would make him ineligible for the Presidency.

I'm not sure why they're doing this, because even if it was true, it would just mean that we'd have President Biden. McCain/Palin are done with, there is no run-off for the Presidency.

Is it just me or does anyone else immediately make a negative judgement about anyone carrying a Louis Vuitton bag? They are the most over-priced cheap pieces of ugly crap and there's nothing worse than seeing people who can barely afford the rent carrying the LV bag they had to have.

Posted by: PaddyDog at December 4, 2008 12:58 PM

I happen to love my Louis Vuitton bag, Paddy. It's a step up from the Crown Royal bag I use to carry mini booze bottles in.

Posted by: Skitz at December 4, 2008 1:01 PM

Skitz:

Do you keep Minimus in your LV bag?

Posted by: PaddyDog at December 4, 2008 1:02 PM

For those that check out Achewood:

Yes, that cat usually wears a thong.

No, it's not that important.

Todd the squirrel is addicted to crack and ODs frequently.

Posted by: firedmyass at December 4, 2008 1:05 PM

And yet again, is it just me or does the Playboy chick look better with no make-up than when she's all tarted up?

Posted by: PaddyDog at December 4, 2008 1:06 PM

I happen to have an LV tattoo next to my bijingo. It's the only thing that makes guys think I'm classy and shit.

Posted by: Sofía at December 4, 2008 1:10 PM

Fuck Louis Vuitton, everyone knows Prada is the best "Holy Fucking Shit, I Need A Second Mortgage Just To Pay For This Thing" Bag!

Posted by: Jeremy Feist at December 4, 2008 1:21 PM

All my purses are either from Target or cheap, unlabeled knock-offs I buy when I visit New York. It's not that I don't like name brand bags, it's that I go "oh, that looks nice" and then I look at the price and think "Sheeee-it, I don't need to spend $5,000 on something I'm gonna lose my chapstick in.".

Oh, and I fucking hate bags with incredibly obnoxious logos all over them (looking at you, Louis Vu). If I'm carrying a billboard on what is an overhyped portable trash can, there's no way in hell that I'M gonna pay THEM for advertising.

My wife went through this crazy bag thing and spent a whole shitload of money on bags she no longer uses. Ugh. She was really into Dooney & Bourke, but at one point she got herself a L.A.M.B. bag. Waaaay too much money.

Posted by: Snath at December 4, 2008 1:33 PM

Plumber Mouse is super cute, but I was more amused by Grumpy Monkey... check check it (click me handle!) (Secretly, that's really a picture of me pseudo-Mr. vB snapped of me one morning...)

ugh, cutting wasn't gross enough? They had to find a way to make it grosser? I feel saddened by this.

I mostly get my bags cheap wherever I happen to be (Payless, Target, mandee, Annie Sez, the Nine West outlet near me, etc.) but I fell in complete love with a Coach tote that I had to have. Luckily, I have a sister who works at Nordstrom, and she got it for me with her discount. It was still ridiculously expensive. It's the only one I'll ever buy. She's so pretty though... red and shiny and pretty.

Wow, between seeing what Madonna's magician/photoshop tech can do, and seeing Holly Madison's transformation, I feel like there's hope for me yet! Playboy, here I come!

Or not. But at least there's still hope for ugly gals like me! If you're willing to pay out the nose... and then have it chopped to your specifications.

Posted by: Melissa at December 4, 2008 2:06 PM

It is my ambition to talk someone into dressing up as Ray Smuckles for Halloween. And as firedmyass pointed out, he isn't usually wearing a tuxedo. His usual uniform is a black thong and bling.

Posted by: s. pisaster at December 4, 2008 2:07 PM

Well, you already know I was going to be really disappointed if those bumper stickers didn't show up, and quickly.

Will reliving the Clinton years get me as much good music as the first time did? I can only hope.

Posted by: Jay at December 4, 2008 2:24 PM

There's no end to the crap that ignorant rednecks will believe.

I was visiting family in southern Missouri in October when my niece's winner of a boyfriend chimed in on a political discussion with this little gem:

"Ah heard that Obama told them [who "them" are, I have no idea] not to send the troops home till after he was elected so it looks like he did it."

I was speechless... just couldn't say a word. Agog, yeah, that's what I was.

And people still ask me why I moved to the Big City.

Posted by: bev rage at December 4, 2008 2:25 PM

s. pisaster: I don't have the confidence necessary to dress as Basic Ray, but I did go as Notorious L.I.N.C.O.L.N. last year.

A drunk party-stranger yelled at me for being "willfully obscure and exclusionary."

Posted by: firedmyass at December 4, 2008 2:27 PM

Was that Jack Black as Jesus Christ in that Prop 8 video? I can just see my aunt's head explode! Now how do I go about downloading that one...

Posted by: lordhelmet at December 4, 2008 2:34 PM

I have a variety of Coach bags and wristlets, but I made sure other peoples bought them for me. Yes, I WILL whore myself out for cute bags. All the ones I buy myself come from the Target, along with almost every other thing I own.

Posted by: Nicole at December 4, 2008 3:40 PM

I agree with paddydog--I thought the Playboy model looked no worse or even better without makeup. In fact, I'd be thrilled to look like her, especially in such crappy lighting. The standard for beauty in women is apparently ridiculously high when someone like her can be considered ugly.

Genny (also Rusty)--I think Deus Ex Malcontent (see link on right) talked about that asinine fake birth certificate rumor a while back, and it's been confirmed over and over that it's TOTAL BULLSHIT. But hey, if those pathetic, desperate, sore loser nutjobs want to waste their time on a lost cause, let 'em at it. It'll shift their focus away from hating gays and trying to turn America into a theocracy.

Man, the Grammies are SUCH a joke! Except for the shining beacon that is In Rainbows which is certainly one of the best albums I've ever heard, like, in my entire life.

But everyone else on that list is so extremely, unbearably annoying that I could vomit with rage, just like about 98% of the earraping shit coming out of the radio these days. Mainstream music is in the worst shape ever.

Or maybe I am just getting old.

Either way, thank you, thank you Radiohead.

Posted by: Eva at December 4, 2008 4:16 PM

Eva: There's another worthy item on that Grammy list... the Plant/Krauss Raising Sand project. The rest is indefensible dreck.

So, is the Universe inherently cool, and so produces an Odetta Holmes to offset the cosmic pant-loads of Creed/Hinder/etc.? Or does it work the opposite way, and the Universe is an evil cunk?

Posted by: firedmyass at December 4, 2008 4:34 PM

Hello all! Long time reader, first time poster.
In response to the "Obama was born in Kenya" douchebags: It doesn't fucking matter. He could've been birthed in a cave in Afghanistan with Osama Bin Laden acting as midwife and he would be an American citizen because his mother is an American citizen. That's kinda how those things work.

Posted by: Matt at December 4, 2008 6:05 PM

Almost forgot. The day after the election I got an email from my evangelical sister which said that the first thing Obama will do after becoming president is replace the white house rose garden with a watermelon patch.
Jesus wept.

Posted by: Matt at December 4, 2008 6:10 PM

An Achewood shout-out? Huuuuuuuugs!

Posted by: phquaryn at December 4, 2008 6:57 PM

"willfully obscure and exclusionary."

Well, hey, you get a reaction! That's more than my obscure-because-it's-what-I-had-around-and-I-had-to-brainstorm-some-crazy-garbage-out-of-it usually gets.

Posted by: Jay at December 4, 2008 8:11 PM

"Obama hasn't even been sworn in yet and ignorant, asshole rednecks are already trying to start blaming him for shit."

Yeah, they suck. They only people who suck harder are ignorant lib-tards who think he's the best thing ever despite the fact that he hasn't done shit yet. Who wants to take bets that when the troops in Iraq do come home in 2012 that the same lib-tards will try to give Obama the credit for winning the war in Iraq?

Oh, wait, Thomas Friedman at the NYT already thinks so...http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/30/opinion/30friedman.html?_r=3&hp

The greatest sham of it all is that Obama will undoubtably leave tens of thousands of troops in Iraq for years after the bulk return, which, if I'm not mistaken, is exactly what McCain proposed doing which created the whole "100 years in Iraq" bullshit before the election.

Fucking hypocrites.
