'Nuff Said

Newsbusters is my favorite place to go on the net for right wing opinion, as I figure I should see what the right is talking about, not just the left.

Their specialty is liberal media bias, and I find about one in 20 articles informative and the rest baseless or just plain asinine.

But they recently published their funniest headline ever. The alleged bis is...

"AP Blames Budget Deficits on Bush, Tax Cuts and War"

That one's so funny I don't even have to go further.

Good Guy, Good Ad



This ad for the Make-a-Wish Foundation is a classic, and a good argument for the less cynical approach to superheroes. Who wouldn't want a kid to experience that? Who wouldn't want to be the villain?

The ad is a re-enactment, but the story is true, and the volunteer villain plays himself. The original child is alive and well, but too old to reprise his part, so a child actor subs for him.

You can see a higher quality version of the ad here.

The Dark Goof

This plot hole in the Dark Knight movie was so obvious that I was sure someone else would post it on the Internet Movie Database, but no one ever did.

Plot holes: When the Joker is arrested, the police do everything they can to identify him. Everything, that is, except wiping off his makeup.

I post stuff on IMDB.com all the time, but they seem to be very fussy about their really big pics, so I'm particularly proud of this one.

Take On Me (With Lyrics)

Ever wonder what the words were to the famous "Take on Me" video of the '80s?

Someone was smart enough to make a version with subtitles It really makes it easier to follow.
