The Grinch Question

8 May
  • Is the Grinch a Who?
  • Is the Grinch tiny?
  • These are questions for the ages.
  • Dr. Seuss’ “Horton Hears a Who” makes abundantly clear from page one that the Who he hears is so tiny that he and his entire town, tall buildings and all, exist on a speck of dust.
  • We have to assume that the Whos in this story are no different than the Whos in “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” 
    • Otherwise we’d be taking some serious logical and creative license.
  • In both the book and the movie, the Grinch doesn’t appear much larger than the average Who.
  • So the Grinch must be tiny.
  • Some people have posited that the Grinch is some sort of Yeti.
  • If this is true, he must be a very small Yeti.
  • What’s not very cool about this? That these are the things parents think about instead of important stuff.

A tiny Grinch?

The French Beef with Google Maps (France vs Google)

1 Feb
  • This one is filed under both “moronic” and “French idiocy.”
    • A French commercial court recently upheld an unfair competition suit lodged against Google by a French mapping company called Bottin Cartographes.
    • For what?
      • Great question. Dur dur durrrr.
    • For offering its fantastic free mapping services (a.k.a. Google Maps) to anyone with access to the interwebs. 
      • So that’s, um, like a lot of people.
    • The French court ruled that Google’s free mapping service presents too much competition for businesses that get paid for their mapping services. 
    • So Google France was fined almost $700k.
    • Moral of the story: if you’re really good at making something, and want to give that thing away for free, don’t live in France. You’ll be sued. Caca.

Don't continue to be a cry baby, France.

The Kelly Family Headache (Ray and Greg)

26 Jan
  • Wow.  Stick with me on this one. It’s a doozy.
  • You think you had a bad day? I bet today is worse for the Kelly family.
    • The Kelly family can haz headache. Big one.
  • Ray Kelly is NYC’s police commissioner. 
  • This week it was reported that the NYPD showed an anti-Islam video called “The Third Jihad” to at least 1,500 officers last year. Let’s just say it doesn’t cast Muslims in a flattering light.
    • Ray Kelly was interviewed for the video and appears in it at least once.
      • He apologized for his appearance in it.
      • And said it shouldn’t have been shown to officers.
      • And apologized for it being shown.
      • That’s some premium Monday morning quarterbacking.
  • BUT WAIT!! THERE’S MORE (MAS, for the Spanish-speakers out there).
    • Ray Kelly’s son, Greg can haz headache too!
      • Just like daddy!
    • Greg Kelly happens to be the anchor of “Good Day New York,” a morning nooz program in NYC.
    • He was just accused of rape by a woman he met in October.
    • So really Greg has one headache and papa Ray has two now.
    • Current condition: NVC.

Bad week.

The Man who Killed His Friend for Eating his Dog After it was Killed by a Monkey

18 Aug
  • This post’s title says it all.
  • A man in Thailand went crossbow hunting with his dog and his friend.
  • That sounds cool.
  • Then a crazy monkey attacked the dog.
    • And killed it.
    • That’s not very cool.
  • The man’s friend then attempted to take the dead dog home to eat.
  • In response, the man shot his friend with his crossbow, killing him.
    • Sounds like a sick love triangle.
  • 1. A monkey killing a dog is not very cool.
    2. Planning to eat a dead dog is not very cool.
    3. Killing your friend because he was planning to eat your dead dog is not very cool.

The Assholes of Bachelor Pad, A.K.A. Kasey and Vienna

15 Aug
  • Probably the only time such profanity and trollish ranting will be seen on this site.
  • Excuse us, but it’s time to rant against assholes.
  • Flame on, Johnny!
  • Vienna and Kasey are assholes.
  • Assholes.
  • Vienna, who the hell forced you to be on, or stay on the show? ABC? They duped you into thinking Jake wouldn’t be on the show?
    • Are you that dumb? Have you ever watched television? Have you ever seen a “reality” show?
    • Yes? Then did you know that Bachelor Pad is a reality show?
    • It’s a GAMEshow. Grow a set and buck up.
  • You should have made good on your girlyman’s offer and gone the hell home.
  • It’s amazing how no matter how much you and Kasey hate Jake you still let him invade your every thought and consume your entire being.
    • You can’t make peace with him? Even though he’s gone out of his way time and time again to make peace with you two? It’s more fun to be mad, we know. Just take this flame, for example. It feels good, right?
    • The two of you look even dumbererererer. That’s dumb times at least five.
  • My god, Kasey, you look MAAAAAAD insecure, SON!
  • Kasey, you fraud. You think you’re some kind of mafioso? You tough? Slimeball. Herb. Douche (the French pronounce it “Doo shay”). Kick rocks. Who even says that?
  • Go guard and protect a steaming pile of crap.
  • Oh wait. You’re already guarding and protecting her. 
  • The two of you so obviously won’t even make it to the final four.
  • I hope this flaming from behind the interwebs curtain makes us famous. 
  • Flame off.
  • Damn. Flaming is not very cool, but it feels so damn right sometimes.

The Toy Truck and the Sex Line

11 Aug
  • A boy received a Mattel Matchbox toy tow truck as a gift.
  • On the side of the truck in bright yellow was printed the phone number “1-800-FAST-TOW.” 
  • To be funny, the boy’s grandmother called it.
  • Turned out it was a sex line with a message that began with, “Hey there, sexy guy.”
    • That must be soooome fast tow.
  • Maybe cool in another situation. 
  • Not very cool in this one.
