The only escape from trolling is the warm, welcoming embrace of death itself.

YOU CAN'T PROVE THAT!

I am rubber and you are Parmesan cheese.

The outdoors frighten me, so I will join your Coalition Team Strike Force Beta!

Well well well.

If you're a fan of Flying Nun Records' 1980's output (i.e. The Bats, The Clean, etc.) then you and I can become great friends very fast.

It really is a hilarious trainwreck in every way. The birds get all the credit, but the sound design is what steals the show. It's a shame that the second one went for intentional badness where the first one was just really, really bad.

I cannot decide what part of Birdemic is my favorite:

EVERYBODY BETRAY ME, I AM FAED AAHP WITH THIS WHURUALD.

While true, Chicago will have that soon enough.

I went to college in Galesburg, so I actually have a photo of the billboard touting that somewhere!

Right, and that is something that makes this whole "project" really disingenuous. How many areas where there are Chipotles are there not libraries? There are over 120,000 libraries in the US. There are over 1,600 Chipotles in the US. I'm willing to bet there's a very slim chance of there being a place without a

Morrissey for Cinnabon.

It's also hard to believe that in this day and age he doesn't have a cell phone with an internet connection.

Exactly. And if Foer were actually serious about the fast food / literacy connection then he'd go with McDonald's because a) they reach the most people and b) their food is eaten by a far more diverse group than that of Chipotle due to them being pretty much everywhere and being far cheaper.

I really can't imagine that there are all that many places that have a Chipotle but not a public library. Unless he did away with his cell phone (or doesn't have a smart phone) he has a huge amount of literature at hand at all times. This is just twee and precious branding for everyone involved.

His justification of supporting Chipotle despite him writing an entire friggin' book on why he's a vegetarian is insane.

There's a guy I went to college with who lives in the American southwest that eats so much Chipotle even though there are FANTASTIC small places even closer to him. It's infuriating.

The Tamale Guy that wanders bars with a cooler of tamales around here has saved me from countless hangovers.

It's Chipotle. They're the kings of fast-food pretentiousness.
