I clicked "Fist Pump" until I got the one I liked: L-Train. But there's already a S-train. They need more names. When they came up with Juice Springsteen, they could have easily added Juice Vilanch for good measure.
Yeah, it's funny. I've been actively avoiding this show for 3 years because I knew it was good and didn't want to jump into it midway. I bought season 1 last weekend and watched it over a couple of days, then decided to watch this week's episode, spoilers be damned. But nothing's changed. Don's still screwing everyone. Roger's still a dickhead. Betty's still crazy (for good reasons). Sal is still in denial. What happened in season 2? Maybe Bert Cooper started wearing shoes.
Agreed, It's getting harder and harder to ignore things like this when watching seasons 3-10. Though I think this is probably one of the few things (in life) that can't be blamed on Rupert Murdoch. Which brings up a sad question: are the creators greedy, or do they really think they've been doing a great job for the last ten years? And which one of these is worse? Based on the commentaries I've listened to, it's probably a combination of both. They talk about how every generation of Simpsons fan thinks that their era is the best, how some people started hating it after season 5, after season 10, etc. But I don't understand how you can strip all your characters of dignity and still go on for another ten years thinking that you're doing a great job. But yeah, this picture of Marge is just terrible. Maybe they're doing an experiment to see how badly they can destroy an American staple, in which case, good job?
Until Gabe's gathering coverage, I had no idea any of this existed and would have been happy in my ignorance. But since then, I've come across a local gathering of juggalos on public access at three in the morning, and I keep seeing this logo everywhere:
It's become my Trystero or something.
I use the word 'angry', but like a confused angry. Honestly, it doesn't seem like many people set up accounts over there. We could probably just take it over, have a day where we storm Stereogum (with AmPat on the bow of our e-ship).
" and outed a CIA operative (and caused about a dozen people to die) because they wanted to score political points?" Did the Plame thing cause deaths? Are there reliable sources on this? I'm not challenging you (I enjoyed the comment) but I'd like to know more about it.
51% is the correct approval rating (if that's the polling you were talking about). Now please leave Videogum. You can return if that number ever matches Bush's 25% approval rating.
Hey, remember that episode of the Simpsons where Jey Leno helped an irrelevant Krusty the Clown revamp his comedic image? Irony. Also, Gabe, don't you hate pants?
I agree. The last few weeks have been a bit Gabecentric, even in the regular non picture comments. I don't know who Da Cake Eatur is, but he has excellent timing. His resurgence was a breath of fresh air this week.
Agreed. My method for reading these at work is to copy and paste the text really quicky to notepad, reading that first, and then returning to the site when my boss isn't paying attention so I can see the pictures, which is pretty pointless considering I usually burst out laughing the moment I see them. You'd think I could wait the hour and read them when I get home.
You're sweet. I pretty much regretted it the moment I pressed submit. My excitement got the better of me. So, please don't click the link folks (really don't) and let's try to forget i ever did this.
So, I'm sorry to have to resort to this rather trollish device (especially on a post that celebrates other's accomplishments), but my band just released our first little album/ep sort of thing this week, and I haven't been able to change my profile (Lindsay's curse I presume) , otherwise I would have changed my link url and left it at that. I'm aware that I'm exposing myself to the most critical minds on the internet and that i'll likely get downvoted for this, but the album is free and we have little exposure outside of the small fanbase we've developed in San Antonio. And you and I are kind of e-friends whether you like it or not (and i would never pull this shit on Stereogum). So have a listen and if you do like it, please share it. Thanks.

On a side note, If VH1 has any 100K a year marketing jobs available, I'd be more than happy to show them numerous ways to waste their advertising dollars (You Oughta Know artist features on Stereogum, full page I Love Money ads in Harpers, promotional Celebrity Rehab syringes in doctors offices, I got a million of these). I have references available on request.
He is, after all, a fucking bear.
(And look at how happy he is)
Sorry, I've missed the last few times you guys have broken into spontaneous cute animal picture posting. And this one's a doozy.
It's become my Trystero or something.
