Saddest picture on the internet?
(The link only goes to the blog I found this on)
I want to gauge my psychology as compared to other Alkaline Earth-ers. I imagine that the sequence of photos below evokes several simultaneous emotions in you, but what I want to know is: are you closer to laughing or crying?

Seriously though, a Tay Zonday tattoo?

Style Invitational's Breeders Crop The best part of Kentucky Derby season: the yearly contest to name the foal produced by the improbable union of any two Kentucky Derby entrants. Ex: "Clemens + Sacred Icon = Scared Icon", or "Bonanza + Notgivinmyloveaway = Westward Ho"

Lolcats for physicists. Ran across this and totally had to post it.

The Andy Rooney Game - an eminently palatable way to get your weekly dose of Rooney. Now with Youtube! [via cyn-c]
A/V Club has an above average interview with Robert Smigel which almost (almost) makes me think I should see his movie You Don't Mess with the Zohan. Also covered: TV Funhouse (the SNL cartoon version and the live version with writing help from Andy Breckman); who is the best presidential candidate from a comedy perspective; what it's like to discover Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert.

The Onion Movie trailer - sadly, it's a shelved project (predecessor of the ONN). But the meta-movie trailer looks great.

(Kind of) in the vein of Wholphin's Rescripted Turkish Sitcom, Kung Faux, or MXC is Soupy Norman. Taking what appears to be an overwrought Polish soap opera, some fine Irish comedians overdub it with new dialog that looks surprisingly convincing coming from the actors' mouths. Some of the episodes made it to the the youtubes for me to enjoy.

Creative ways Obama could lose. No matter who you support, these reader submitted scenarios were hysterical. I had people looking in my office cause I was giggling too loud at this. I think it's noteworthy that the submission that Trailhead marked as #1 is physics based. Enjoy!
This is far better than a David Letterman Top 10 list.

Bob and David are about to film a new sitcom pilot for HBO called David's Situation. I figured this Vanity Fair interview would be sort of a puff piece but I was surprised at what they had to say about the realities of being "marginal" comedy celebrities in Hollywood and why they thought the cancellation of Mr. Show was different than the cancellation of The Ben Stiller Show or Arrested Development. (thx same maxfun post that provided soku's last link)

How does the Daily Show get those fantastic point-counterpoint clips where they get a political figure or talking head saying 2 contradictory things back to back? Well, it takes a lot of TiVo and one full time staffer.

It is a trite and tired thing to simply link to an Onion article but this week's editorial is many sigmas funnier than most Onion articles:
Stop Making Movies About My Books - by Dr. Seuss in Seussical rhyming meter. This must have been a ball to write.

Some of you may know that daughterofmischief and I have a running bet about whether The People's Republic of China will have free, fair, open elections before the release of this album. Well, the good people at Dr. Pepper have stepped up the margin on this one: If the album is released in 2008, then every American (except for guitarists Slash and Buckethead) will be given a free Dr. Pepper.
Come on, Axl. The soda of victory, laced with methamphetamines, rum, and horse tranqualizers, will taste so sweet.

Yet another twist on Garfield comics. What happens when you just remove Garfield all together? Amazingly enough the strip is pretty damn funny. Man is that Jon twitchy.
