Video montages I would create if I had infinite...
1. Every dream sequence, hallucination, and fantasy sequence from The Simpsons.
2. Cats jumping out to scare people.
3. Guys looking cool walking away from stuff as it blows up, not even bothering to look back at the stuff blowing up behind them.
4. All the different ways Robert De Niro has said “fuck” in all his movies.

Only at an OK GO show

There is always an opening band
Is there an opening band?
Do not call me
to “follow up on that email.”
Hey so am I allowed
to happily mention that I’m going to see OK GO tonight? I think I’ve somehow catapulted in reverse-time from my terrible and terribly dated original music tastes past a decade of good music into something that even age-appropriate cool music fans already shun.

Great work guys. Somehow this is even more incomprehensible than Summer of Megadeth!

Test-driving faux outrage
what is the eCPM of common decency? WHAT IS THE CPA OF YOUR VERY SOUL?
Get ready
because Jezebelian rage vs. Marie Claire fatty haters is about to collide with massive traffic-spiking Christine O’Donnell Gawker hookup story which actually doesn’t involve sex but does involve lack of sex because of lack of genital waxing which then must be crossfiltered through Jezebelian follow-up rage that Marie Claire is wooing traffic with a pro-fatty counterpoint blog post, so...
Introducing the Precap →
Sick of TV show recaps? Me too. So we’re going to start precapping TV, where the writer attempts to predict what will happen this week BEFORE the show. Because after you’ve seen the episode, why would you read a summary of the show you just watched? WHY, INTERNET.

Paradigm Violators
There’s the moment when lining up to exit the subway station through the turnstile cage when the very well-dressed man in front of you — natty pressed green suit — makes a sudden lurch and stumble motion. Now if this guy was more gnarly in appearance you would immediately give him a wide berth, but he seems quite composed otherwise. So you cautiously follow him in line, and he...

Colleague: So if we did that, what would the price breakdown be? Me: The point is they can choose to sponsor any part of it, or all of it, and … [looks across the room at several proposed designs on the wall for completely unrelated project] … IS THAT MOTHERFUCKING COMIC SANS?!?!?
