Feminism, Sci-Fi, and BSG
I've been wanting to sit down and basically write an essay on various female stereotypes and their relation to the progression of feminism in sci-fi for a while now. I'm stuck at work for the next 3 hours, so this is as good a time as any. Also, as I was considering the stereotypes, I realized that Battlestar Galactica had a lot of them and many ( Read more... ) -

I'm reasonably sure the most obnoxious douchebag of 2007 was Chad, the Alltel mascot.
The Alltel commercials began innocuously enough. They had Chad, and then all the other cell phone mascots, talking and Chad explaining why Alltel was better. This was acceptable he was not annoying and the commercials were kind of clever if only because of how well ( Read more... ) -
Gentlemen...BEHOLD!
New Mexico's Space Vagina!
Actually, I totally dig it. It's beautiful. It looks ancient and futuristic at the same time. It's like a Chozo temple or something.

The most important post.

WTF Comcast?
One of Comcast's commercials talks about how they improve communities about rebuilding a community center. While the center is run down and supposed to be in a bad neighborhood, there's a darker-skinned Hispanic man with tattoos. When the community center is rebuilt and everything turns bright and shiny and into a good neighborhood, that same man ( Read more... ) -
FUCK STEVEN SEAGAL
My dad bought me Steven Seagal's Lightning Bolt energy drink just to be weird.
I tried it.
IT TASTES LIKE CARBONATED YAMS. NOTHING ON EARTH SHOULD EVER BE ABLE TO BE DESCRIBED LIKE THAT.
Oh god...it hurts....
