Hey Ya - Outkast
That's not my name - The Ting Tings
Dreaming of you - The Coral

Check out the journalism on the UK's Daily Telegraph website, it's almost entirely governed by Search Engine Optimization. They basically try and shoehorn a reference to Doctor Who and Britney Spears into every article… and the word naked, of course.

Spanking the Monkey and Chuck and Buck
If we're talking movies, these two get my vote.

I don't think anything quite matches Peep Show for discomfort comedy, apart from perhaps Curb. The Office, at least, has a bit of heart, whereas Peep Show really has no redeeming features whatsoever. Several episodes featuring Super Hands getting sucked off spring to mind.

The problem with Extras was that it brought in these celebrities to supposedly make fun of themselves. These celebs were then lauded as being brave and self effacing, but none of them actually did make realistic representations of the smug, self-important pricks that so many of them are (I'm looking at you Chris

TittyTittyBangBang, easily one of the worst things I've ever seen on TV. Unfortunately the 'comedians' are all female, so not only does it set the sketch show format back several decades, it also kicks women comedians into touch as well.

According to an old school teacher of mine, wearing suede shoes is the gateway to hard drugs.

Her breasts in Cocktail
played a formative role in my pre-teen life.

I saw this at the cinema, but the experience was far from fangtastic. It was ruined by all the coffin in the audience.

The Event
It pains me to say it, but I'll probably get sucked in by a promising, high-concept premise and then waste hours of my life on ever diminishing returns. I'm more stupid than a lab rat, who by now would have learnt his lesson from shows like Heroes and FlashForward.

Hu Wants to be a Milliner.

I can't believe we're discussing the Daily Mail and UK house prices on the AV Club. For what it's worth, I think the Polish builders are starting to get a little complacent. Now you need to go Slovak if you want some real value for your money.

I've posted this link before to a similar thread. It's an interview with bestselling author Bernard Cornwell. I think they guy comes across as a legend, and I'd rather read his books than some of the pretentious dross that positions itself at the more literary end of the book market. Obviously you can have bad

How does this compare to landing a 747 jumbo jet?
I reckon it's easier.

I'll have you know that people can also use the privacy setting to go job hunting on their work computers without fear of being discovered… And look at porn.

Who cares about these losers anyway?
What sort of sad sack spends half his day online hiding behind some avatar, interacting with people they would never deal with in real life?

He looks like Herbert Kornfeld, much missed and dearly departed Accounts Receivable Supervisor at Midstate Office Supply.

Hmmm…. I stopped and looked around a lot, realised I was wasting my time, but still never got up off the sofa.

I'd say kudos to Patterson. He's obviously getting maximum royalties (presumably more than the actual writer) with minimum effort. How can you begrudge him that if people are still prepared to buy his co-written books? Patterson at least built a name for himself with some hugely successful blockbusters. In the same

My mistake, I got it. Eat that Kielbasa. My day is now complete.
