The Snowman Conspiracy

We just had a giant major snowstorm here in Colorado. Everything was closed, the roads, the schools, all the businesses, everything. The airport has been closed for two days, which is the longest in the history of this airport. The governor even declared it a state of emergency and the National Guard was here helping people get their cars off the highway.

Around my neighborhood, people were just starting to venture out again. A couple people managed to dig their cars out from underneath about four feet of snow, but most people failed and abandoned their cars in the middle of the road. Other than that, the streets were pretty empty all day.

Then tonight, we noticed something....

There were dozens of snowmen on all the corners, some of them up to seven feet high! The weird part was that we never saw anyone building them. I would think that an giant seven foot snowman takes a while to construct, but these seemed to just manifest out of nowhere. At first, it was cute and it brought holiday cheer, but then it was almost spooky.

It reminded me of Jack Frost, my favorite bad holiday movie. No, it's not the friendly family movie with Michael Keaton, but the one about a giant mutant killer snowman that terrorizes a Colorado town called Snowmonton. The film also features a young Shannon Elizabeth being killed by the snowman in a very special way. Netflix it folks. It's good stuff.

The Infamous "Dick in a Box" Digital Short

For anyone who didn't see the SNL with Justin Timberlake the other day, here is the "Dick in a Box" song that Andy Samberg did with Timberlake. It was really, really funny and totally worth watching, a great parody of all those Color Me Bad kind of groups from the early 1990s.

The most awful lunchroom prank

The Smoking Gun just posted this story about a teenage boy who played a rather extreme "prank" on his classmates during lunch period. This is the letter the principal had to send out to parents.

Comedy Clubs or Battle Grounds?

What is the deal with comedy clubs these days? First Kramer's screaming racial slurs, now Pauly Shore's getting punched in the face.... is the whole entertainment world coming to an end?

Michael Richards, Douche

At this point, Michael Richards’ racial tirade is already old news. But, since everyone else has already given their two cents on the whole matter, I thought I’d weigh in myself. I’m guessing we’ve all seen the video at this point and most of us probably found it shocking. I was not hugely surprised, in fact I didn’t expect it to turn into a sequel of Nipplegate, but I admit to watching the clip with a bit of a startled look on my face. Most surprising is that it’s just plain not funny. It’s one thing if Richards’ responses to hecklers had the quick wit and timing that would be expected of a seasoned stand-up comedian. Instead, he just got really loud and repeated the same phrases over and over again with increasing intensity.

Unlike most of the world, I don’t believe that Richards is a racist. I believe him when he said he was trying to be shocking and make a joke out of the situation. Instead of believing that all along TV’s lovable Kramer has been hiding some seedy racist dark side, I think it really boils down to the fact that he’s just not that good. Instead of being a total racist, he’s really just a moron. He thought that he could pull of responding to hecklers who offended him by doing something amusing, edgy, and offensive right back. Instead of pulling off a Lenny Bruce or even a Lisa Lampanelli, he just became another Mel Gibson, a big star who embarrasses himself when he lets his mouth write a check his talent can’t cash.

Instead of branding Michael Richards a Klansman, we should all just realize he’s not some closet racist, he’s just a has-been and an arrogant hack. Just like when Mel Gibson declared that he thinks the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world, it didn’t instantaneously destroy the lives of every Jewish person, instead the person it hurt the most was the idiot who said it. Michael Richards, like Mel Gibson before him, is getting just what he deserves from this. His goal was to humiliate the hecklers, but guess who’s laughing now.
