Keith Olbermann vs. Bill O’Reilly. Possibly one of the greatest videos ever.

(Mirroring the video from here)

Not only does the theme to Star Trek have lyrics (something I remember reading about before, but never really cared enough to look up), but William Shatner will be singing them during the next Emmy telecast:

Finally, Shatner will perform the theme from “Star Trek” with opera star Frederica von Stade. The song actually has lyrics — penned by series creator Gene Roddenberry — in addition to Shatner’s “final frontier” narration.

I don’t suppose there’s anyway we could get Bill Murray singing about Star Wars instead?

Damnit, not only do Europeans make better beer than us (for the most part), but they make better beer commercials, too.

Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Tertiary Phase is now available on iTunes.

Also, there’s a trailer for the BBC’s production of the Quandry Phase.

Man Sells Device That Blocks Fox News

It’s not that Sam Kimery objects to the views expressed on Fox News. The creator of the “Fox Blocker” contends the channel is not news at all. Kimery figures he’s sold about 100 of the little silver bits of metal that screw into the back of most televisions, allowing people to filter Fox News from their sets, since its August debut.

So I wonder how much longer before we get the conservative version that blocks out CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC. And PBS. Oh, Comedy Central. Probably Food TV, as well.

“Illegal downloading is killing our industry.” “Booooo!”
“Hey, let’s start offering our content for download at a price.” “Yaaaay!”
“Wow, it’s working. Let’s raise the price.” “Yaaaay!”
“People are illegally downloading music again.” “Booooo!”

Why don’t the executives at these various record labels just stop by their customers’ houses and molest their pets? That would be the quickest and most efficient method to alienate them.

These jerks are currently trying to flood the DOJ with complaints about the acquisition of Hollywood Video by Movie Gallery. So I decided to take advantage of their e-mail form:

Dear Attorney General Gonzales,

I am very concerned with the actions of the group, Victims of Pornography, and their crusade against the Movie Gallery chain of video rental stores. And while I object to their moralising, I am more concerned about their blatant attempt at the creation of a Socialist “nanny-state”, where the government is in charge of what businesses can or can not do.

I urge you to support the principles of capitalism and freedom, on which our great country was founded. If one company wishes to acquire another, in full-compliance with existing anti-trust laws, then I see no need for the government to get involved, and tell either company what to do.

To think that pornography does not exist in these neighborhoods, that the children have not seen naked people, is pure folly. And if these “concerned citizens” want to make a change, they can do so with their wallets. I am sure there are other video chains that they can rent from.

Sincerely,
Rusty Shackleford

How long until we see this on Fear Factor?

finally! the rudderless ship of rap will be with a rudder.

Is there any reason you have not yet pre-ordered this DVD? Huh? Huh?

Yeah, enough of your excuses. Order it.

Hurry up punk. I haven’t got all day.
