The guy that breaks down is awesome. In a previous scene, he wore a light blue shirt, with blue shorts, and light blue Crocs. This gem was from the episode of Wife Swap that aired last night. The clip is pretty self-explanatory…
I hope you all were watching Game 6 of the NBA Finals where the Celtics thoroughly beat down the Lakers. Kevin Garnett was assaulted by Michele Tafoya after the game and was forced into an interview. Clearly, it was an emotional moment since KG says some random and crazy things. He kicks it off with “ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!” and then some profanity… sweet. Thanking Chicago and his mom and whoever else was a nice touch. The interview probably should have ended after “TOP OF THE WORLD! TOP OF THE WORLD!” The clip underneath was my first dabble with Red Lasso. It’s the incredibly interesting and informative piece on Kevin Garnett bringing peanut butter and jelly to the Celtics. Red Lasso lets me get clips from broadcast TV and a few cable televisions. They’ve gotten cease and desist letters from the major networks… but I’ll use it until The Man brings them down!
The new WNBA commercials are horrible. They all start with WNBA stars lambasting women’s basketball before it ends with “SHE WOULDN’T SAY THAT. WOULD YOU?” Don’t get me wrong — that grabs your attention and makes a point. On the other hand, they seriously fail to evoke any actions from a viewer.
At best, they can get somebody who dislikes women’s basketball to say “hey, it’s not so bad”. If you have a viewer that’s neutral or already a fan, there’s nothing for them to take away from the message. At the same time, the commercial opens with overwhelmingly negative comments about women’s basketball. Nobody is going to seek the WNBA on TV or buy game tickets after seeing those spots. It’s like the NFL coming out with a Michael Vick/Pacman Jones commercial preaching the virtues of thug life. Although that probably WOULD increase viewership and sell tickets.
Below are two of the videos that I’ve actually seen on TV (during NBA games). The Candace Parker spot on top is probably worse. She has some pretty harsh words while they show a montage of WNBA highlights. The second one… I don’t even have to say anything here. Even the first WNBA ad campaign (”We Got Next”) is better than this crap. You can watch them for yourself and decide how much of a sexist douchebag I am…
Below are two recent exchanges … one between me and a friend (Anonymous Asshole Friend) and the other is with my co-worker Lisa K and a girl that wanted a job in our department. Two things are clear: Isiah Thomas is a jackass and you should put more than 5 minutes of effort into a cover letter.
OCD: Now Cablevision is trying again, with a $15 million campaign — the biggest since Fuse was introduced in 2003 — and yet another attempt to portray Fuse as a source of mainstream music. This time, Cablevision is turning to one of its own to make the marketing work: Kristin Dolan, who, in addition to being a senior vice president at the company, is the wife of James L. Dolan, Cablevision’s chief executive.
AAF: hahaha awesome
OCD: In addition to boning the CEO, she is also a marketing person
AAF: and isiah thomas has been named general manager, president and head coach of the fuse network

Cameron’s Response
I’m mortified. Thank you for telling me instead of just not
responding, now it’s a mistake I’ll never make again. Sorry for
wasting your time and I appreciate your response.
Linz walked the red carpet and showed off her svelt look and also her undies. ThisIsLondon has posted pictures from the MTV Movie Awards.
“As an American I am ashamed and embarrassed that this film was made. I pray that it’s a huge failure.”
Apparently one of my friends has decided that Bruce Bowen is gay. It’s actually pretty funny for me to imagine him with a hoop earring and some flamboyant clothing. The “bonghitters” mention is a reference to us getting smoked (pun somewhat intended) by the High Times softball team.
The new, Joey-less Real World was sad but still entertaining. While this is certainly not my favorite Real World, this cast does seem to have some potential. Below are five points that are highlighted in the latest episode.
Sarah realizes how judgmental she is I love the way they talk about how skanky Brianna is… yet she isn’t even the one getting plowed by a roommate. Bri didn’t even get a chance to open her legs before Kimberly. Also, what is your mom or boyfriend going to do about your bitching? Just please shut the fuck up and cheat on your boyfriend for real. Otherwise, you are worthless.
Whitebread sandwich as per usual OMG can you believe Dave and Kim are hooking up? It’s just like every Real World where the two most whitebread people in the house are teetering on the edge of a relationship. It happened recently in Sydney (Cohutta/Kelly Anne), Denver (Alex/Colie), Austin (Danny/Melinda), Las Vegas (Steven/Trishelle), etc.
Greg sucks This kid is a bitch. He acts hard because he’s a loner. It’s the whole “I don’t need anybody else” routine… but you know he just has low self-esteem. The fashion show makes this pretty obvious. He walks the catwalk like an idiot — twirling his jacket and pirouetting. Can somebody please knock this douchebag down off of his high horse?
Das Not Wassup Alex and I had Will’s “Das Wassup” count at 3 after the first episode. Since then, he has not uttered the phrase once. I’m going to assume that he still says it but that the production team has edited it out of some scenes. I am very, very disappointed.
