…installs himself as titular head of the cult.

I don’t watch Colbert, but this is hilarious. Tip: Ketchup is ‘female-bodied’. Good grief!

I’ve never heard of this show before, but in this episode Mrs. Brown gives herself a bikini wax. Hilarious!

Brendan O’Carroll plays the role of Mrs. Brown and he is a genius.

do we really need to hear from the likes of this all-star schmuck?

On Thursday afternoon, CBS and Warner Bros. Television announced they were stopping production on Two and a Half Men for the remainder of the season due to Sheen’s recent “statements, conduct and condition.” On O’Brien’s show, Sheen said he would fight to get paid for the remaining unproduced episodes. The actor currently makes $1.8 million per episode for his work on the show.

Two and a Half Men ends production for the season following Charlie Sheen’s radio rant

“Defeat is not an option,” he said. “They know what they did was wrong they are in absolute breach [of contract]. I did nothing wrong. I expressed an opinion; I get the first amendment behind me. Defeat is not an option.”

Somebody needs to bitch slap this douchebag after pointing out that his First Amendment rights don’t protect him from being tossed out on his ass from his “job”.

Mike Rowe talks for 20 thoroughly enjoyable minutes about Dirty Jobs, the disparity between workers and thinkers in Hollywood and… lamb testicles. Filmed 2 years ago, it’s one of those subjects that will always be relevant.

CNN fires Rick Sanchez

October 2, 2010

I try to never take joy in other people’s misfortune… even if it’s self-inflicted. But this time karma and I will dance: CNN finally fired Rick Sanchez.

Was it because he went after Jon Stewart, or Jews in general? Maybe. I think it was just the last straw on a very old, much abused camel’s back. Rick has spewed some vile, hateful crap during his tenure with CNN, becoming worse every year. Yes, I am glad he’s lost his high profile bully pulpit.

This isn’t the first time in Sanchez’s four years at CNN that his comments have led to controversy or mockery. He once called President Obama a “cotton-picking president,” and has attributed unconfirmed quotes to Rush Limbaugh and misidentified the Galapagos Islands as Hawaii.

The most recent remarks came as Sanchez, who is Cuban American, was explaining how racism and prejudice had stunted his career. He said that a CNN executive once compared him to John Quinones of ABC’s “Primetime.”

“In his mind, I can’t be an anchor,” Sanchez told Dominick. “An anchor is what you give to high-profile white guys.”

Sanchez said the story illustrates that racism exists “not just [from] the right,” but also from “elite, Northeast establishment liberals” who condescend to him because he’s Latino.

“Deep down, when they look at a guy like me,” continued Sanchez, “they see a guy automatically who belongs in the second tier and not the top tier.”

After being challenged by the radio host, Sanchez backed off his use of the word “bigot,” and said Stewart was “prejudiced.” Sanchez said he was upset over Stewart’s frequent personal attacks on “The Daily Show,” noting that once the Comedy Central host called him “a total meathead.”

Note to Sanchez: We don’t want you back in south Florida. Remember the Andrew concert, where you were booed off the stage? Yeah, we haven’t forgotten you.

Apple has ended the ‘Get a Mac’ ad campaign. I think it’s a damn shame; while they didn’t induce me or anyone else I know to make a purchase, the ads were iconic and usually a pleasure to watch.

AdFreak has the entire campaign on one page for easy access.
