Jon Stewart Does Glenn Beck, Traces News Corp’s GOP Donation

Since the Fox News guys love to follow the money, on last night’s Daily Show Jon Stewart busted out his chalkboard and now-classic Glenn Beck impression to trace a one-million-dollar donation from News Corp to the Republican Governor’s Association.

…AngryCanadian just said what’s on my mind. i will not click on another link to Cmedy Central again in another failed attempt to see the clip I want to see. Does Comedy Central have a problem with Canadians? foreigners? If not, why not just grant access or simply provide a link to the same episode on the substandard Canadian website? Can never find anything there!…

The Emmy Awards Get Social

The 2010 Emmy Awards are this Sunday, and NBC is using the ceremony to embrace social media in a big way.NBC is using services such as Twitter, yfrog and Ustream to bring a more real-time experience to the event. These services will also let fans and viewers interact with Emmy presenters using social media. Due to time-shift viewing and a growing number of viewing alternatives via cable or the Internet, network television ratings are in a period of decline.

Who’d Make the Best Fighting-Game Drinking Buddies?

Drinking buddies. Wing men. Boozin’ brothers. We’ve all got them — those guys whose entire friendship is entirely based on a shared passion for the pub. We at Asylum have given plenty of thought to drinking buddies in the past, taking the time to consider who’d make the best animal and the pro-wrestling drinking buddies. The next logical step, of course, was to compile a list of the ultimate fighting-game drinking buddies. Game: “Street Fighter II Turbo” Character: Zangief Role in the group: The lovable Russian Drink of choice: Vodka neat “Street Fighter” is full of awesome characters

…Game: “Tekken”
Character: King
Role in the group: The one with the animal head
Drink of choice: Rum and Diet Coke
Geeks among you will point out that King is in fact dead, and therefore won’t reply to our Facebook invite to join us down at the bar. Well, this is all hypothetical, so just let us fantasize about drinking with an orphaned Mexican street fighter who becomes a monk and fights to get the cash to build an orphanage.

Game: “Killer Instinct”
Character: Chief Thunder
Role in the group: The wise one
Drink of choice: A Corona with lime?
We’ve never met a Native American chief before, let alone a Native American chief who’s fought in the “Killer Instinct” tournament, let alone a Native American chief who’s fought in the “Killer Instinct” tournament and can do a reverse triplax. This was an easy decision. The thing is, would he want us to call him “Chief Thunder” all the time, or would just “Chief” be okay?

Game: “Super Smash Bros.”
Character: Fox McCloud
Role in the group: The one with military…

…NEW YORK After briefly speaking with Jets coach Rex Ryan about his excessive use of expletives during the HBO show Hard Knocks, NBC football analyst Tony Dungy admitted Monday that “the fat cocksucker is real fucking good shit.” “We were yapping our dicks off on the fucking telephone I had a goddamned great conversation with that lovable fucking asshole,” said Dungy, adding that he and the “huge ass-muncher” hit it off right away. “That cock-gobbling bastard understood that none of this shit is fucking personal. We had an asshole-to-asshole talk and now me and the big twat are tight as fuck.” Dungy said he had apologized to “Lard Dick” for being “such a little bitch” about the goddamn swearing and accepted Ryan’s offer to tour the Jets’ asshole….

Back to the Future III: WTF?

This little bastard stares directly at Elizabeth Shue and then does the following…

…I love Back to the Future III and it’s easily my favorite of the two sequels. Sure the second has the flying Delorean and the hoverboards, but the story was all over the place. The third combined a western with scifi comedy and that’s a feat that’s been attempted a couple times since (Wild Wild West, and Jonah Hex although the second one wasn’t an intentional comedy) and it hasn’t really been matched.
In all the times I’ve watched BTTF3, I’ve never noticed this. At the end of the movie, right when Doc Brown is talking to Marty and Jennifer (and the totally Spielberg-influenced When You Wish Upon a Star is heard on the soundtrack), the kid playing Doc Bown’s son Verne does something well just check out the video below.

I checked out the DVD and confirmed that this does happen and isn’t something just made up on Youtube….

How One So Cal Rapper is Celebrating His MMJ Card (VIDEO)

…MED’s delivery arrives: a sack of medical marijuana. “Used to mess up my high when I passed the law / Now I got myself a medical card.”

There’ve been plenty of musical paeans to Miss Mary Jane, and at least one famous rapper has publicly acknowledged that he’s a card-carrying member of the “doin’ it all legal” tribe.

But it’s fair to say that the medical marijuana movement is lacking a theme song, and that one of Southern California’s stony denizens should make moves to remedy that.

Well, one has: Oxnard rapper and longtime Stones Throw artist MED, a.k.a. Medaphoar, previously heard on records by Madvillain, Quasimoto, Madlib and others.
Is this the theme that was so desperately needed, or should MED go back to the smoke lodge drawing board? Let us know in the comments….

Born in the USA: Patriotic anthem or heartbroken lament?

In a sense, “Born in the USA” was two different songs: the one Bruce Springsteen wrote and the one Bruce Springsteen’s fans heard.
