Jesus(?)

The last time I checked my Bible, Jesus wasn’t a fairy.
So why do people feel compelled to make Him look like this…

Am I the only one offended by the portrayal of Jesus as a pink and fluffy man who apparently gets a manicure every week? Just look at His hands! Look at them! They’re like [...]

Should’ve Given it a 7.5, Buddy

Here’s a story that approximately 3.4% of you will care about.
Gamespot recently fired one of their best-known journalists, Jeff Gerstmann. What was his crime? Giving a video game a bad review.
When you look at it closely, a 6.0 out of 10 possible points is not horrendous. It’s not great, by any means, but it could’ve [...]

CNN, Wake Up

We’re not idiots, CNN. You might’ve had a stranglehold on the cable news division in (many) years past, but we’re not longer being duped by you day after day. We’re on to you.
The CNN/YouTube Republican Debate gave rise to an interesting moment last night when retired Brig. Gen. Keith Kerr, an openly-gay man, asked a [...]

More Huck

More plain-speaking from The Huck as other candidates stumble all over their answers:

Stay Tuned

You know, I can’t figure out if this YouTube debate is a big, hilarious mess or if there’s actually something worthwhile to it, but I did find this video entertaining for one reason: the response of Gov. Mike Huckabee. Fred Thompson bumbles around, Ron Paul gives his supporters something to whoop for, and then Huckabee [...]

The Kindle

Take a look at the current issue of Newsweek, and you’ll see this “interesting” white piece of Soviet-era design. The Kindle is making headlines, but for God’s sake, why?
It’s supposed to be the future of reading? Well, it’s not, and I’ll tell you why.
1. It’s ugly as sin. Really ugly. It’s keyboard is also atrocious [...]

The Nintendo Table

I vividly remember the feeling. It was a pitiful amalgamation of fear, embarrassment, insecurity, and confusion. I would be minding my own business, eating my lunch with my friends, and one of the “cool” guys would pass by on his way to the “cool” table, laughing, pointing, and repeating the same dreaded phrase over, and [...]

He’s For Real?

I don’t like to be wrong. Just ask my wife.
Scratch that; I hate being wrong. It’s a strange, terrible feeling that leaves me quiet, dejected, and irritable–a trait that my family have found irritating in itself.
Luckily, there are exceptions to every rule. I have recently been very happy to be proven wrong. Mike Huckabee is [...]

LSU: Observations

LSU deserved to lose.

Wow, I actually said it. Boy, don’t I feel better!

Yes, LSU deserved to lose. I don’t like the fact that they lost; I hate it. I got upset that I wasted 5 hours of my life on a game that meant more to me than it should have. I was emotionally involved [...]

Nalts

YouTube is an enigma to me. You can find almost anything there, but about 95% of it is…

1. Stupid.

2. Not worth someone posting.

3. Vile, disgusting trash.

And yet somehow it chugs along, hosting millions of videos as it engrained itself as a cultural mainstay. There is this weird, dedicated community that has rooted itself into the [...]
