World: In this post, we respond to Anwar al-Awlaki with “Big Lebowski” quotes

  • Don’t consult with anybody in killing the Americans. Fighting the devil doesn’t require consultation or prayers seeking divine guidance. They are the party of the devils.
  • U.S.-born radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki • Telling his followers to kill the American infidels. Anwar, what is the point? Look, we all know who is at fault here, what the fuck are you talking about? Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man. And, you know, he’s got emotional problems, man. I’ll tell you what I’m blathering about… I’ve got information man! New shit has come to light! Come on, man. I had a rough night and I hate the fuckin’ Eagles, man! Obviously you’re not a golfer.  source

Biz: North Korea + News Corp.: Evil forces converge on The Dude again

  • What happened? This wonderful pre-iPhone mobile game to the left is called of “Big Lebowski Bowling,” and it came out way back in 2007. A similar game based on “Men In Black” was also released. The notable thing about the game isn’t so much that it exists, but the distributor is Nosotek, based in North Korea and focusing on distributing North Korean software. That’s right, Dude, they peed on your fucking rug.
  • Why this is badFirst of all, it means that developers in volatile North Korea are getting more adept. Also, it means that News Corp. indirectly gave money to the North Korean government through a developer. The UN says it’s legal, but the U.S. thinks it’s bad for diplomatic policy. Here’s what Kim Jong Il told us personally in an exclusive interview: “Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.” source

Offbeat: MacGyver or The Dude? Who’s more awesome? Let’s compare


  • MacGyver, for reals Richard Dean Anderson finds himself in crazy situations which he solves using random everyday objects because he’s MacGyver and he’s awesome or something.

  • The Dude, for reals The Dude, or His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you’re not into the whole brevity thing, is kind of the same thing, except with more stoner and more Lebowski.

Culture: The Dude abides: “The Big Lebowski” worthy of academic study

  • The Little Lebowski Urban Achievers will appreciate this. A new book, “The Year’s Work in Lebowski Studies,” gathers a number of heady papers on a guy who wants nothing more than to have a rug that nobody urinated on (and a White Russian). Shut the &!^$ up, Julius. You’re out of your element. source
