Is Michael Cera just teenaged American Hugh Grant?

via defamer.gawker.com

This compilation of scenes of Cera doing his trademark "mumbly embarrassed guy" schtick certainly makes the case that he's been permanently and horrifically typecast. I've seen all these movies/shows save "Nick and Nora" and even I occasionally would need a minute to figure out where a given clip came from. This guy needs to do an action film or something.

Though I've sort of tired of his whole routine at this point, I AM considerably pleased that he's agreed (according to the most recent rumors I've heard) to come back for the potential "Arrested Development" movie. You need the entire Bluth Family intact for that to work, I suspect...

Vanessa Hudgens, @SeanieMic's take on Biz Markie, my man crush and @shiralazar's geek video on TWIYT 57!

I think this one came out particularly well. Also, I get to insult the people of Belgium, coming right on the heels of my mocking the people of Argentina a few weeks back. Shall we just start doing this alphabetically? Look out, Cambodia!

Limbaugh compares Obama Health Care logo to Nazi Reichsadler

via mahalo.com

There are only two possibilities, to my mind:

(1) The similarity is unintentional. The Obama logo combines a familiar symbol for doctors/medical care along with the classic "Obama logo" from the 2008 campaign. It's just similar shapes.

(2) The similarity is intentional, and Obama is a Shadow Nazi. He's stupidly revealing to us his actual, dark intentions, via the use of logos, and Rush Limbaugh's the only American savvy enough to put the pieces together, sort of like a paranoia-and-Oxycontin-fueled, obese version of Tom Hanks in the "Da Vinci Code."

Can't really decide, though...Both options seem so plausible.

I approve of their anti-Whoopi Goldberg platform, but I strongly disagree with their anti-Blingee platform...hmm...

Barack Obama eats socialist birthday cake

via backyardconservative.blogspot.com

This is a link to an actual blog post in which a conservative lady bitches about not liking the design of Barack Obama's birthday cake. For real. Also, I'm not sure if you guys have heard about this, but he's sort of like the Joker! zOMG!

I just really wanted an excuse to link to a blog that features the following sentence:

"Love him or hate him, George Bush had a real cake for his birthday."

OK, I will grant him that, and only that. George Bush succeeds in a way we typically only celebrate for 1-year-olds and pets - eating a delicious looking cake on his birfday.

Murdoch-owned news websites to start charging

Stung by a collapse in advertising revenue as the recession shredded Fleet Street's traditional business model, Murdoch declared that the era of a free-for-all in online news was over.

"Quality journalism is not cheap," said Murdoch. "The digital revolution has opened many new and inexpensive distribution channels but it has not made content free. We intend to charge for all our news websites."

via guardian.co.uk

OK, fine, quality journalism isn't cheap. Agreed. But what about what Rupert Murdoch publishes?

Is it standard cop procedure to "punk" people who try to hire undercover cops as hitmen? Or did they just make a special exception in this case because it was going to be so hilarious and awesome? I'm not sure, but I likes it.

Mothers, don't let your babies grow up to be pull-toys

via mahalo.com

Maybe not Mother of the Year material, but this technique certainly seems effective.

But really, I think this is a commentary on the speed of technological advancement and how it affects all our lives. 10 years ago, a mother could TOTALLY get away with dragging her small child by the neck through a Verizon store (or, I guess, back then, a Sam Goody or something). But now, with cell phone cameras and YouTube, it's just not doable any more. We're all going to need some time to adjust.

The Coen's "Serious Man" trailer is blowing my mind right now

via mahalo.com

This looks completely amazing. Flew totally under my radar. Pitch-black comedy from the Coen Brothers, made for less than $20 million. SHIT YES. Opening October 2nd!

Bill O'Reilly doesn't "do" averages

via causecast.org

Either Bill O'Reilly doesn't understand the concept of a "life expectancy rate" or he assumes people who watch his show don't. Either way, it does not bode well for the guy's fans.

This is probably the dumbest thing I've actually heard the man say, which is SIGNIFICANT, because he says really dumb things on TV all the time.

Paul Tudor Jones Trader Documentary comes to YouTube

via mahalo.com

WOW...When I worked at the video store, we used to get people requesting this movie, or at least talking about it, and it was utterly impossible to find. Jones asked the director, Michael Glyn, to squash the film back in the '90s, and it was essentially disappeared after that point...No VHS, no Laserdisc, nothing. To have it, you have to have taped it off of TV back in '87.

Yet here is a pretty high-quality version of the entire film, uploaded to YouTube! Hope it's still up this evening so I get a chance to watch the whole thing. What a find! Go Internet!

Beck covers Velvet Underground's "Femme Fatale"

via pitchfork.com

Awesome cover from Beck's "Record Club" project, in which he and friends record covers of an entire album in one day, and then release the tracks online one by one. This is the third "Velvet Underground and Nico" cover, following "Waiting for the Man" and "Sunday Morning." I think this is the best yet.

Redband trailer for "Hot Tub Time Machine"
