A lot of people think that knowing multiple languages is important and that preserving languages is essential for preserving culture.

Published by in cuisine, tv on April 28th, 2012

I wonder what it’s like to be Giada De Laurentiis. You may know her as the impossibly skinny Italian host of several Food Network shows (Every Day Italian, Giada’s Weekend Getaways, Giada at Home, etc.) who over enunciates every Italian word that happens to be in an otherwise plain English sentence. You know that part

Today’s Bullshit: This Isn’t News

Apparently there’s all of these allegations against members of the Secret Service about them having sex with strippers and prostitutes. Why is this news?

OUT: Newt Gingrich

In a move that surprises absolutely no one, Newt Gingrich has decided to suspend his book tour.  To tell the truth, we honestly forgot this guy was even running.  So now it’s officially a 2-man race as Paul seems to be in it for the long haul and Romney/Obama are just two sides of the

Today’s Bullshit: Google Wants To Know Your Email Habits

Fed up with their inability to know literally every detail of every person’s lives, Google has created a new email spy tool that users can opt-in to (for once). Presented under the guise of allowing users to know details about their emailing habits, this so called “Google Meter” will really just store the information of

With the added AI component, Holo-Pac will be able to interact with the crowds at his shows in completely original ways

DEAD: Dick Clark

At least CBS got to have their big round numbered anniversary party for the guy and his eve. They’ve been grooming that asshole Ryan Seacrest to take his job for years and now it’s finally official…they can’t wheel in the old dog any more.

OUT: Rick Santorum

With heavy hearts, we bid farewell to our beloved Rick Santorum and his confused attitudes towards everything that America stands for.

DEAD: Thomas Kinkade

Who will paint light for us now that you’re dead, Mr. Kinkade? Who will be the next light warrior to pick up the mantle of protecting light and cherishing and loving light?

Hey Internet! It’s April Fool’s Day, btw!

I don’t know if you’ve heard, but it’s April Fool’s Day today! It’s time to post outright lies and claim that they are jokes. Also, we’re updating our front page to something that is not our normal front page. Hilarious. Who is dead? Every major celebrity! Even the ones that you have forgotten about are

John’s Take on the Current Generation of Portable Gaming

My wife and I got our tax return in early this year and thanks to our horde of dependents, the government kindly returned what appears to be more than we paid in. What else was left to do but piss away our new found wealth on video games along with both of the current portable
