In the age of the internet, it's hard to get me to involuntarily click my tongue at someone posting something gross, but this post actually did it for me.  Well played.

The Republican primary stopped making sense to me when Ron Paul got a room to cheer for him allowing a hypothetical man to die of a curable disease because he couldn't afford health care, but it really doesn't make sense to me now.

You mean they make SOFTcore porn now too?

Guess there's no reason to listen to THIS!

No, I'm with you.  I don't hear much Nirvana, but there's a huge Wipers influence which is fine with me.  Occasionally I'll hear some Built to Spill as well.

I'm in the same boat- the other Cloud Nothings album I heard didn't do much of anything for me, but this one was absolutely fantastic- I'd even call it the first great album of the year.  There's a really wonderful Wipers influence on Wasted Days where you can hear all the best things from Youth of America being

I was insane amounts of high when I saw that movie in theaters, and kept thinking "This seems terrible to me, but because I'm crazy high, my judgement is probably impaired, so therefore this movie is good and I just have to figure out why."  I spent that entire movie fumbling around looking for the elusive redeeming

Absolutely nothing.  What's noteworthy about it is that it hardly did any damage- they just took down a few sites that only contained publicly accessible information- but they did it at exactly the point that popular anti-SOPA fervor was at its high point.  As a result, I think it turned out to be a statement rich

I've given Grimm a couple of chances at this point, and I just don't see the appeal.  The novelty of realizing someone who looks like a human is actually an anthropomorphic human/bee, human/rat, human/water buffalo runs out real fast. And By "real fast" I mean in the course of watching two nonconsecutive episodes.

Yes, but the bill still subverts the first amendment. That's bad.

Yeah, these past couple weeks have been the definition of taking an inch and losing a mile.  The passage of both bill at the same time was especially disturbing though- SOPA/PIPA made it possible for the government to shut down the single greatest information sharing technology that exists, giving them a massive

If I could download a car for free, I'd do it in a minute.

We can at least dedicate more attention to ignoring the environment now.

You have to admit, the stunt with the RIAA, MPAA, and FBI websites was pretty inspired.

4chan is interesting in a way, for virtue that it's a place where we get to see what we look like when we don't have to answer to any rules and there are no consequences.  It's not a website I actually enjoy participating in most of the time, but it remains this cool internet experiment in theory, if you manage to

I realize this is isn't going to have a ton of name recognition, but I've always thought "Hot Cakes" by Gas Huffer would be a blast for this series.

I'm dying.  I literally died from reading this post, and now I'm dead.  I'm ghost posting now.

Fair enough, that IS an awesome exception.

You'd think some market researcher would have realized by now that as soon as memes appear on tv, they're no longer funny.  It's like watching someone take off their helmet in space and have their eyes instantly explode from the zero pressure.
