Hogan Made Wrestling

Absolutely one of the best ever. Another great one is the EDS commercial where they are herding cats across the plains. It's brilliant. AT&T have put out the most consistently good commercials of anyone. Particularly good are the one where the white styrofoam ball is bombarded by blue tacks to form the AT&T logo, and the one with blue Lego. The new Adidas (I think) commercial with T-Mac is awesome, where he says (paraphrased) "a lot of people are worried about all these kids coming into the league without an education. Don't worry, I'll be taking them to school all season long".

I really like the chain Pizzeria Uno which I've only seen in big US cities, but is always a fantastic meal experience. I make a point of going there whenever I take a trip through the US.

I don't see how this blurb from Schemer indicates that the WWE is saying "you can't have a tattoo" as many seem to be inferring, but rather that they don't want every guy on the roster having their entire body covered with tattoos. Posters who have mentioned that the tattoos have become so common they no longer have much of an effect are of course correct.

This is like Ja Rule feuding with Jermaine Dupri.

My favorites were probably Spin City and Newsradio.

If you had her action figure fight a HHH one, would she no-sell the Pedigree?

A more accurate comparison to the redneck thing would be if the judge put on a basketball jersey and a bunch of bling bling, carried around a boom box, and rapped in ebonics. Because that is poking fun at an easily recognizable subculture of black people rather than black people in general.

I heard the same thing on Jim Rome's show. Oh, I heard on the radio that she's dating John Cusack -- anybody else hear that?... Yeah that was on the cover of US or People or something similar this week.

Of course, Colorado had no business even getting a sniff of the national title game at 2 losses when there were 3 top teams that had either 0 or 1 loss. But if everyone but Oklahoma finishes at 2 someone will be there (although if that happens I'm sure we will be hearing whining about how TCU or Bowling Green or some other 0 or 1 loss weak team should be in the Sugar Bowl instead of Michigan). It certainly would be kind of weird though, if a 2 loss team beat Oklahoma and won the national championship despite having more losses than the Sooners.

Howard Dean became the latest Dem to make an unnecessarily stupid statement, saying that he wants to be a candidate for "guys with Confederate flags on their pickup trucks."

I was expecting Heath Shuler, Mark Rypien, or Akili Smith.

When you have the husband of as outspoken a Democrat as humanly possible playing a President in a film that is, by early accounts, quite the hit piece --- criticism is inevitable. Oldman was a Dem? I don't remember him playing a political role outside of "The Contender" --- and I thought he was supposed to be a GOP in that movie (which was pretty good) -=Mike I was just using Oldman because he's a reasonably outspoken conservative (in fact he criticized his role in "The Contender" upon viewing the movie after the fact because he thought it made Republicans look bad), but also a reasonably accomplished actor, as is Brolin. We arn't talking about a bunch of hacks here.

Criticizing the content is one thing, but getting pissy over who's playing a part because of who they are married to is just childish. It's not like Al Franken is playing him either or something. If Gary Oldman was cast as a Democrat president, I don't see what would be wrong with that provided he could pull the part off well. Looking at those pics of Brolin as Reagan, it certainly seems he's got the look down reasonably well, at any rate.

Discuss what? The fact that they used a cheesy gimmick to spice up a house show tag main event? Until a Kiss My Ass match is announced on TV, I don't see how this is important.

That'd be the Angle/Brock Ironman title switch from a few weeks ago. Sorry. Heh, for some reason I couldn't remember if the title switched hands there or not. I was really tired that day and fell asleep with about 1 minute left in the match.

I say have Benoit challenge Brock for the title on the Smackdown after SS, and have the match the next week with Benoit winning. Then while RAW has a PPV they can run a 2 month Brock-Benoit program on TV and have Brock get the belt back at Royal Rumble. Sure it's only a transitional reign for Benoit, but it's a decent starting point. A world title switch on TV is long overdue anyway, especially with this split-PPV stuff (now I'm hoping there wasn't a title switch I forgot that I could get nailed on).

James Brolin as Reagan:

LeBron is awesome, all of the haters can fuck themselves.

That was the only really funny part.

This is all just a work to take attention of off Kobe's criminal case.

I had actually been think this week that they might do this exact angle. If done right it could work out reasonably well (like the relationship between Rey and the lwo).

NYPD Blue has had nudity plenty of times before.

I'm sure some SKeith fanboy will read that and send him a copy of the No Mercy tape just so they don't have to wait until the DVD comes out to get their master's opinion of it.

So who's the first Laker this season to bitch about their number of touches? Anyone?

You know, maybe these people ought to consider that "white european history" gets studied because it is -gasp- INTERESTING? I find Canadian and American history to be generally mind-numbingly dull until the 20th century. The 2nd World War and the Holocaust are flat out far more interesting (sorry if that sounds callous) topics than stuff like colonisation, and I'd much rather learn about the Manhattan Project and the nuclear arms race than making every issue some race-based sob story.
