Musical category - my vote goes to U2. Having Bono explain that Homer will get the help he needs, and having Adam Clayton be brutally snubbed and picked on by the other members was awesome.

Let us go then, you and I
Where the evening is set out against the sky
Like a patient, forced to watch this shitty movie

I always imagined ZMF sounding like Jay from all those Kevin Smith films…

Internets deduction accepted.

RE: Serena Williams
Even if that call was wrong (as the replays kinda suggest), it is no excuse for behaving like she did. Match officials in every sport make decisions each day, and sometimes they get them wrong. It is part of the game. Usually players are allowed to voice their disagreement with a decision,…

Chang's alive!

This isn't so much of a buzzkill…
More like schadenfreude…

secret history of america, huh…
Is this going to be anything like a secret diary of a call girl? Cos if so, I'm in…

Great Interview, great subject
Seriously. It's always refreshing to see an interview go over 2 pages, and he gave some fairly considered responses.

@ Otp

@ 3rd prize

I think we are all forgetting that if we lived in the Harry Potter world, we would most likely have been killed / tortured by Voldemort's death eaters.
