Dr. Horrible

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

If you haven’t already, go and watch Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. It’s Awesome!

Update 7/20 to elaborate– per the comment by Jason on John Roger’s blog: Indeed.

This in a nutshell is what Annakin Skywalker’s fall should have looked like. Annakin should have been the geeky Jedi kid with cool ideas about how to make bigger, better lightsabers and force-powered exoskeltons who was in love with a girl but didn’t know how to tell her and his jelousy over a rival (Obiwan) drives him mad until he accidentally kills her. And that’s how he becomes evil.

But this is why Joss Whedon is now King of the Geeks instead of George Lucus. Joss can tell a good story that as a tengent, sums up the crux of someone elses universe, in a musical tragicomedy. Bravo!

President Frat Boy Has Senioritis

If you thought George W. Bush was an asshole before…:

The American leader, who has been condemned throughout his presidency for failing to tackle climate change, ended a private meeting with the words: “Goodbye from the world’s biggest polluter.”

He then punched the air while grinning widely, as the rest of those present including Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy looked on in shock.

Just wait. It’s only August. By October, he’ll be publicly urinating on copies of the Constitution. When Obama moves in the White House in January, there will be a flaming bag of dog shit in his desk and dirty cartoons scrawled with sharpie on the walls. The Secret Service better count the silverware.

Via.
