New Season of ‘Mad Men’ Delayed Until 2012, as... →
OF COURSE this happened. After holding out for years, I started watching Mad Men a few months ago. I’m almost done with season 3 and LOVING IT, and now this happened and I’ll have to wait forever for the new season.
At least I still have season 4 to tackle. I’ll have to stretch it out and savor it.
The Onion: Visiting Friend Okay Doing Whatever →
This is pretty much me whenever I visit a buddy out of town:
Minutes after arriving at Scott Clark’s apartment Friday, college friend Marc Karam, 26, announced that he didn’t really have any plans in mind for his visit, and that he would be fine doing pretty much whatever this weekend. “Up to you, man—I’m down for anything,” said Karam, suggesting the two could just...
Watch“500 Days Of Summer” - Hall & Oates dance scene
I don’t know why it took me so long to see this movie. I really liked it. This dance scene was especially inspired.
This director is doing the new Spider-Man movie. I totally get why now. I just hope the new Spidey tones down the twee, indie/emo/hipster vibe that got a little annoying here after a while.

mar-see-ah:
Nothing to worry about here, folks. Just a deadly snake hanging around the isle of Manhattan with no supervision.
I’d still be happier to find a deadly cobra on a subway car than a urine-soaked hobo.
Presidential picks: Obama's bracket ranks 492nd... →
If you put President Barack Obama’s bracket picks in your office pool, there’s a good chance he has jumped into the lead after the second round of games.
The president’s second-round picks went 29-3 the last two days — including 15-1 on Friday — to rank in the 100th percentile in ESPN’s Tournament Challenge game.
Obama’s only loss Friday was his pick...

Probably Pauly Shore’s best movie.
It’s far superior to Jury Duty. And Bio-Dome was overrated. And I know what you’re thinking — but I really count Encino Man as a Brendan Fraser film. Pauly Shore was just a supporting character.

Poll: Charlie Sheen would beat Sarah Palin among... →
Talk about winning…
We’ve found a lot of brutal poll numbers for Sarah Palin so far in 2011… but this has to be the worst — independent voters say they would support Charlie Sheen over Palin for President by a 41/36 margin. Seriously.

Listen to this man. He knows what he’s talking about.
The Republicans are right...
HOW DARE Obama fill out an NCAA bracket when Japan is in crisis? Clearly he should be over there personally helping the nuclear technicians put out the fires. That would be a much better use of his time.
Seriously, these lyrics...

I guess this kinda seemed like common sense, but it’s still funny to see it confirmed with a study:
A group of female students at the University of Virginia were told they were evaluating whether Facebook could work as an online dating site; 47 women learned that male students from the University of Michigan and U.C.L.A. had viewed their profiles as well as those of 15 to 20 others. The ...
