Culture: The Conan/Mario thing is a coincidence, you big-media idiots

  • OMG are you guys seriously that stupid? Look, we get it. The Conan thing is freaking hilarious. We love it like a child of our own, in fact. (W’zup Jeff Greco?!) But we noticed something when looking on the Internet today: More than one big-media blog trying to set the record straight on what is seriously the most awesome coincidence ever. Syfy’s official blog, for example. Or more depressingly, The Live Feed, The Hollywood Reporter’s usually awesome TV blog. You guys need to take a step back from the mirror and realize it’s, on its face, hilarious. OK? Now read this story on how Nintendo digs it. source

  • With all this mess going on under President Obama with banks and the economy, I’m sure if citizens happen to lose their money, they will rise up and we could see killing and deaths.
  • Daniel James Murray • According to a criminal complaint filed by Zion’s First National Bank, where he made threats to make sure he could, lacking an ID, take out part of the $25,000 he deposited. “Not to be disrespectful,” the Anton Chigurh wannabe apparently said, “but if I don’t get this money, someone is going to die.” He then made threats to the president, saying he is on a “mission to kill” Obama. He’s still out there, just an FYI. • source
