I just want to point out the picture this article is leading with http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2012/05/09/us/CAROLINA/CAROLINA-articleLarge.jpg So apparently marriages between men and men are bad, but ones between men and unknowable cosmic beings are just fine

I don't remember this either, but the second I read it, I just thought "oh, classic Roger" and moved on before stopping and thinking. I'm sure I'm not alone in this thought

This was just a strange and jarring day in the life of Sally Draper. She just wants to see what her dad does and all of a sudden the world was like "You are now a dolled up sex object. Get ready to spread your legs and fly. Roger Sterling is now interested in you. This is a blowjob." To be fair, that is pretty much what her dad does

I saw Drive and 21 Jump Street on consecutive days and enjoyed 21 Jump Street more

I wholeheartedly agree about Community. I thought it was the best episode since their break (faint praise, maybe, but I still liked it a lot). The character oriented moments are what I've always felt were the weakness of the show, but I thought this one pulled it off for a whole episode. All the convoluted impersonations and feats of dreamatorium engineering boiled down to a simple and honest point

I was perplexed by the one direction guy who left on his fake mustache and just stood there like a statue giving the audience the thumbs up for like 30 seconds while everyone else was hugging each other. That's not particularly funny or good television, it's just strange, and for a bunch of people who don't know who he is, not particularly endearing. Jason Sudeikis should have taken him aside aside and been like "Go stand in the back and hug Jay Pharaoh until the credits are over"

I liked how the other Derrick Comedy guys joined in the pillow fight. Have they been on Community before? I feel like they have, but whatever, I like seeing them where they belong in comedies instead of 1960s ad firms

Turned into pills rather than turned into seared tenderloin with a balsamic-placenta glaze over a bed of braised endive? Bobby Flay, you are NOT the father http://img.foodnetwork.com/FOOD/2010/05/06/FNM_06-01-10-Bobby-Grilling-016_s4x3_lead.jpg Pictured above: Bobby on vacation with his one true love

I like how he asks for creative input from his supporters at the end. You have to respect a man who is brave enough to admit he's hit rock bottom

Dear Gabe, Apparently, my firm grasp of the English language was not with me that day. My first sentence is directed at Kirk Cameron because we all know that he is absurd and that anything he says will likely make no sense and/or ruffle our proverbial feathers. I then go on to note that, from my observations in the past, people on this website have strong opinions on certain topics, and their opinions typically diverge violently from the religious right/conservative end of the spectrum. I feel that in past threads, we have achieved a general site-wide consensus on our views vis a vis gay marriage and such. Thus, seeing as how Kirk Cameron is not particularly notable, why even bring this topic up? You have no real thesis except to again note why homosexual marriage should exist, and then you call this random cable segment unnecessary. Piers Morgan isn't exactly a paragon of journalistic standards and we should all accept that we knew this would be a worthless segment of television the second we learned it existed. Thus, why waste time putting out a post that would either just strengthen our views against the conservative Christians on a topic we've already discussed or force us to again acknowledge that this bit of cable fluff is still worthless? If you're going to make this a post, it should at least be a Duh Aficianado or something. Long story short, I agree with you, Gabe, and I agree with 94.7% of what you do, but I just question why this particular post needs to exist. My challenge to you going forward from this debacle is to strive to be better than Piers Morgan. Respectfully, Tyrese Gibson

Oh, so the title was referencing football? Good job using your allusion

I really love it when people call themselves interesting, particularly on the basis of the amount of money they have and its immense value compared to the net worth of 99.9% of America. However, Mrs Romney is being very honest when she says she's poor in spirit, as long as she's trying to convey the message that she doesn't have a soul

Seriously, that last song was genius. Aside from that, "what you on?" "Virgin America!" was my favorite. Also, I apologize if this is widely known, but I just found out that while Community not might have any Emmys, at least Dean Pelton won an Oscar for writing the Descendents

This is a wildly unsurprising statement from a person who's been living on the very edge of relevance (and reason) for years now. If you're surprised at the furor, why are you even commenting on the furor, which, knowing your readership, will probably lead to a little more furor?

You know who else didn't barf on Michael Fassbender? http://www.smosh.com/sites/default/files/bloguploads/awkward-kristin-th.jpg Let's face it, it's very hard to get through a day unembarassed

Ha, I don't even have a wife! Jokes on you, clown! *goes back to cave and cries* Seriously though, I may have been a little harsh. The show has some genuine good times family spirit, which I respect, but it's got about 7 Bravermans too many and the storylines make the characters or the writers look bad too often in my opinion (and I don't mean the characters fall from grace before growing as people, I mean they look like idiots). It's just fine with a couple elements that grind my gears, but I guess I missed the part where it was suddenly a favorite among the Videogum community, because the few people I've talked to about it have never really been anything much more than indifferent to it

Why do people like this show? I watched the first two seasons for reasons I don't remember, and upon a minumum of reflection, I quickly concluded that everyone on this show is kind of the worst. Jasmine is the worst of the worst of the worst, just an awful unlikable woman. The sister that wasn't Lauren Graham was a terrible white tiger mom who was burdened by the weight of being successful and then not being there to make sure her daughter is drinking the finest organic juice box and then oh dear the trophy wife next door made a snarky comment about so your life is the worst. That sister's husband exists only to be an arbitrary, semi-mute accessory in that sister's life. Hatty is semi worthless, Ann Veal is adequate I guess, Ann Veal's brother is also human scenery, Jabbar veers between cloyingly cute and viciously obnoxious, also his name is Jabbar, Adam way too self assured for my taste, the only explanation that I can figure for Adam's wife is that they wrote the character for her after watching her audition to play Betty Draper, Lauren Graham is fine, Crosby is fine (ignoring the fact his name is Dax in real life, I would never sign anyone named Dax to my show), Jasmine is still the worst, the old people are old, and I've never met anyone with Asperger's, so I don't know if Max is accurate, but he makes me exceedingly frustrated every time I watch this show (so good acting job, I guess) and his TV parents suck at being his TV parents. The best parts of this show were Minka Kelly and Michael B Jordan. Who writes this show? They are not great at their jobs. They should just have an hour of Brian Williams doing standup instead of this show. Ah well, this show is a very NBC show in that it's not very good, but what the hell else are they gonna put on? Have a nice day

Those two plus barbecue is the majority of my list

True story- Ben and Jerry's drew criticism because they made a Linsanity ice cream with chunks of fortune cookies in it. I don't think Ben and Jerry's will ever run into the same problem with this guy, if only because no one want an ice cream that tastes like stale beer and Axe body spray

I spent the evening watching taped episodes of Portlandia and wondering what the overlap is between people who watch Portlandia and people who know who Lamarcus Aldridge is. Anyway, I feel it was nonetheless the best use of my evening

Best Picture- 50/50 Best Actor- Brendan Gleeson Best Actress- Elizabeth Olsen Best Supporting Actor- Corey Stoll Best Supporting Actress- Chloe Moretz Best Director- Jason Reitman Best Documentary- The Interrupters Best Sound Mixing- The Adjustment Bureau I have no other opinions, but I still think I have a good shot at winning the pool this year

I think if you go into your privacy settings on facebook, you can change some setting there to log off? Facebook makes about as much sense as this picture, so I don't really know what else to say

I liked the War Horse one. Lea Michele was very convincing as the horse

I like how Bill O'Reilly got the hell out of there before the part where everyone gives everyone hugs, probably because he had a well founded fear that no one would give him a hug. I mean, Kate Upton stuck around for hugs, and I'm not confident that she said a single world

Dammit, how does one post pictures?

Did anyone else just frantically check to see if Ja Rule was dead?

"Yeah, Katniss was hunting in the forest, like always, so I put whoopie cushions under the hole in the fence. Things went off so loud went she went through, the warden totally thought she farted. They just publicly executed her in the town square. I totally got her. Classic Peeta." -Alternate ending scene for The Hunger Games

Smiling as your sister swims in your urine= free taxes? I'd love to see the meeting where Don Draper sold that one

I like how they threw in the destroyed Big Boy statue just to let us know Dr. Evil didn't make it

Do you like me? _Yes _No (although this is a fake answer, I was talking to my friend and her friend's boyfriend asked his friend to ask you something and you said yes so I know it's a lie if you say no) _*wink*

Dear Gabe and/or Kelly, your talk about being in the same room got me to thinking: do you have an actual Videogum office suite or do you just run this out of your living room? Because on one hand, this seems like a legitimate business venture for which you might want an office to project an air of professionality, but on the other, all you really need for this site is Youtube and imagination. Whichever way it is, you're going about it the right way. Have a wonderful day

This looks as good a time as any to plug 50/50. Anna Kendrick is in it! It is fantastic! Buy the DVD today!

I hope Boutros Boutros Ghali is in a diplomatic mood when he finds out how you butchered his name

Why stop at best screenplay? Aren't there supposed to be 10 nominations for best picture? 50/50 there! Jessica Chastain's going to win for supporting actress, so get rid of Octavia Spencer and put Anna Kendrick there! If no one knows who Demian Bichir is, no one will vote for him, so JGL there! I liked this movie a lot! Who did these nominations though? The Help was so-so, Extremely Loud and So On looked terrible to me, Albert Nobbs has a 50% on RT and I'm not even confident it's in theaters yet. Do these movies deserve 30% of the acting nods?

Back when I was like 10, my cousin had this newfangled electronic thing and I was like "what is this? Is it one of those mp3 players?" and his reply was "no, it's a minidisc player. It's much better." Hindsight may be well known for being 20/20, but more importantly, it's often pretty hilarious

Quick question to fashionable types out there: What's the deal with young actress types all getting super short haircuts? Like Michelle Williams and Carey Mulligan and Emma Watson and Mia Wassamattau (sp?)? I mean, short hair is fine, but they all look like they got haircuts meant for effeminate 14 year old boys
