Looks like The Joker has some trick-or-treating for you to do today. Too bad Kansas City ain't one of the cities taking part, cause I'm off work and a sucker for viral marketing for upcoming movies! (especially one as awesome as The Dark Knight is going to be!)
Sadly, no one has uploaded the clip of him on The Simpsons where he sings "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells" at Bart's "casino." But I'm sure it's just a matter of hours before it's all over the place.
Are you like me? Is peeling potatoes too crazy and dangerous?! Do you wish you you could wear some sort of space gloves and peel a potato in only eight seconds?! Well, dammit, you're in luck!
On the back, there's the website address (which like Hell I'm going to link to) and let's everyone know what their "MISSION STATEMENT" is all about:
"Our mission is to engage the culture across the United States by pricking the consciences of our fellow countrymen. Making them aware of the Lord's prospective on the most important issues of the day. We hope to convict the guilty of their sin and point to the path of salvation.
We carry the Gospel of grace to a lost and dieing world."
Sorry that I don't post more often...perhaps this stuff is slightly to blame (other than the fact I'm lazy?!)
EVERYDAY SHOOTER (PS3)
This is an addictive old school shooter that just has to be played to fully understand. Sure, you shoot at shapes and try and get the high score, but you also change the tempo and the tune of the song being played. It's really amazing, simple and best of all FUN! You only use your analog sticks to guide your ship and shoot, so no worries about needing to hit the right buttons at the right time!
SKATE (PS3)
Again, here's a fun game that only requires your two thumbs on the analog sticks. You move and control your body with one stick and perform ollies and flips with the other. It gives a realistic (as real as video games can be anyway) approach to skateboarding versus something like Tony Hawk (which I also love) where you're jumping hundreds of feet in the air and skating down roller coasters.
If you want to grind a stair railing in Skate, you don't simply skate towards it and press a button...you hold down on the left analog stick (to bend your legs) and flick the stick upwards (to jump) and land on the railing. Sure, it takes a lil' while to get used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's insanely refreshing and rewarding!
PUSHING DAISIES (ABC Wednesdays)
Easily the BEST show on TV right now! (until The Wire and LOST return, that is.) I love every little thing about it. It makes me feel all squishy inside! (Either from how awesome the love story is or the fact that there's so much delicious pie!!!)
JAMES JEAN'S PROJECT RECESS 2: PORTFOLIO (Adhouse Books)
I cannot say enough about James Jean. He is my favorite artist in comics right now. Just let these images sink in:
What the hell is going on over at Southwest Airlines?! Should an airline that doesn't even have arranged seating really be telling you what you can and can't wear on their planes?! It takes a lot to make JetBlue look good, but dammit if Southwest ain't trying...
TAMPA, Florida (AP) -- Southwest Airlines said it will apologize to a passenger who was told he would be removed from a flight if he didn't change clothes, the second time in recent months the budget carrier has been forced to do so.
Joe Winiecki, of Largo, Florida, boarded a Southwest flight in Columbus, Ohio, wearing a fictional fishing shop T-shirt which featured the words, "Master Baiter."
Winiecki, who was traveling home, said he was in his seat when an employee told him he had to change his T-shirt, turn it inside out, or get off the plane.
Winiecki protested that the airline was infringing on his right to free speech, but changed his shirt fearing he would miss the flight and a day's work.
Southwest spokesman Chris Mainz said Friday the employee made a mistake because the Dallas-based airline does not have a dress code.
(CNN) – An astute reporter for CNN affiliate KCRG-TV noticed there was something missing from Sen. Barack Obama’s wardrobe. He wasn’t wearing the common American flag lapel pin, a fashion fixture in post-9/11 politics used to display patriotism following the attacks.
"I decided I won't wear that pin on my chest,” the Democratic presidential candidate told the reporter Tuesday in Iowa City, Iowa. “Instead, I'm going to try to tell the American people what I believe will make this country great. Hopefully that will be a testimony to my patriotism."
Obama touched upon the exchange again Wednesday at a speech in Independence, Iowa.
"I haven't worn that pin in probably a very long time. I wore it right after 9/11. But after a while, you start noticing people wearing the lapel pin but not acting very patriotic,” he said. “My attitude is that I'm less concerned with what you're wearing on you lapel than what's in your heart. You show your patriotism by how you treat your fellow Americans, especially those ones who serve."
Sure, in the grand scheme of things, it's petty and pointless. But I also think it speaks volumes of the way politicans just do and say things without questioning the reasoning behind it. Same goes for all those fuckers with the magnetic ribbons on their cars. You know, the ones that have "SUPPORT THE TROOPS" right next to "GO CHIEFS!" We often put too much comfort in just displaying our actions instead of trying to live by them.
My absolute favorite are the bumper stickers that (I believe are from the Promise Keepers) read: "I LOVE MY WIFE!" Well, shit. I don't have that sticker on my car...I guess I must hate mine?! Do they have children? Well, I don't clearly see anything that states they LOVE them, so I guess they don't...
