When you pump gas into your car, are you disappointed and disoriented during those few moments without any form of media pacifier in your mouth? Well, worry no more, because we now have NBC at the Pump. I encountered this while gassing up en route to my show in St. Cloud. In addition to intrusive, hyper-vivid ads for all the shit I [...]

You Will Not Believe The Blog was kind enough to share the following with all of mankind: We are following a correspondence between George Lucas, creator of Star Wars, and Steve Jones, Senior VP, LucasFilm Marketing and Brand Strategy. Currently, to shore up the flagging brand, Mr. Jones has proposed launching a line of Star [...]

According to hard-hitting news outlet Minneapolis Star Tribune, Taco John’s mascot Whiplash (the monkey, pictured above) will be knighted in St. Paul tonight by Winter Carnival royalty. I think I speak on behalf of all my fellow citizens when I say that it’s about time Whiplash was properly honored for his deeds.

Five years after opening the doors of his hotel to Tutsi refugees, saving hundreds of lives from the genocide in Rwanda… …heroic hotel manager Paul Rusesabagina is back! But this time, everything is going to the dogs! After hiding Tutsis from machete-wielding Hutus, housing a few stray dogs should be simple! Right? Wrong! Academy Award nominee Don Cheadle stars in [...]

Someone at KFC must have watched an episode of Battlestar Galactica, or perhaps some easily offended chicken consumers complained, because KFC’s “Frak Pak” sweepstakes, which I previously mentioned, has been changed: OK, so, “frak” isn’t a real word. You can say it on television; that’s the point. So, what KFC has done now, with this change, is inadvertently remove any [...]

One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest is in full swing at Pioneer Place on Fifth, and people like it. Want proof? We have a review! Click here to read it! It’s in the school paper for St. Cloud State University. The University Chronicle says, “Raine Hokan, Karen Wiese-Thompson, David Coral and the rest of the cast [...]

We’re almost a tenth of the way into the 21st century, and disappointingly, 2009 doesn’t see us whizzing around the skies with jet packs, cavorting with androids, or eating our food entirely in pellet form. There is a silver lining, however, as a Massachusetts company has developed a flying fucking car. They define their creation more [...]

As the momentous ending chapter of Battlestar Galactica begins, it is only appropriate that fast food chicken dealer KFC would help usher in these last, solemn days with a sweepstakes they call the “Frak Pak.” If you watch the show, you know how amusing this is. For those of you who don’t know the show’s lingo, “frak” is their stand-in word [...]

Hullo, there. Just a general update about goings-on. Here goes. One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest opened this past weekend, and the audience response has been wonderful. If you have the chance, come to St. Cloud and see the show! We close February 1st. You can get tickets and more info here: www.ppfive.com Cuckoo’s Nest [...]

Paste Magazine has a neat feature called “Obamicon.me.” You can “make your own ‘Obamicon’ — your image in a style inspired by Shepard Fairey’s iconic poster.” Play with it here: http://obamiconme.pastemagazine.com/ In addition to the narcissistic image above, I created the following (after the jump).
