ok, so who else has been seeing this chick on every damn website across the interwebz?

does she actually exist? like, obviously she doesn’t work for consumertipdigest.org, but is it just a stock photo of some chick in front of a fake newsroom, or does she actually work at some shitty local affiliate in fresno and every crappy internet ad company just cribbs her permanently mid-word visage? here’s another one i grabbed this morning from /film:

oh newsgirl, is there any report that’s not special to you?

updated: she’s real, and she’s an actual journalist. also, the hottest woman in the world, according to french fhm. special thanks to andrew for his crack detective work.

epic win of the week: brandon hardesty’s re-enactments

this week’s epic win comes from brandon hardesty. he’s got a million of these movie re-enactments on youtube, including a hilarious goldblum impression from jurassic park. this one is my favorite though. the mustache (!) is clearly from a mr. potatohead. enjoy.

if you watched last night’s debate on msnbc, you may have noticed chris mathews getting rick-rolled. care of gizmodo:

i also caught a banner endorsing nixon’s head for president. if anyone has a screenshot of that, please send it my way.

ali go, aka skunkgal, sent me a link today to a story on cnet regarding the dark knight’s recent ascent to the top of imdb’s top 250 list, dethroning the godfather. apparently zealous fans have actually been down-voting coppola’s classic in order to bump nolan’s epic to the top spot, dropping the godfather to number three, behind the shawshank redemption. what does this mean?

not much, aside from the fact that people on teh internets really like the dark knight. a lot. the article makes some comparisons to the hd-dvd issue on digg. a) i don’t read digg, mainly cause i’m not a ron paul supporter. b) they’re completely different situations.

mob mentality doesn’t really apply here. teh internet community (the article uses the terrible “web 2.0″ buzzword) is opinionated and vocal, but by no means represents the world at large, especially on a site like imdb that caters to hardcore movie nerds, like myself. i loved the dark knight; i saw it again on sunday with my mom. is it better than the godfather? no. and a bunch of nerds on a website aren’t gonna change that any time soon.

if i read/hear “nuked the fridge” one more time…

dear internets:

stop trying to make “nuked the fridge” part of our lexicon. it’s retarded. we already have a term for the phenomenon you’re trying to describe. it’s called “jumping the shark” and phonetically it’s far superior. plus the reasoning behind “nuked the fridge” just isn’t valid.

yeah, indiana jones avoided being killed by an atomic blast by crawling inside a lead-lined refrigarator. you might also recall that he also avoided being melted by the wrath of god by simply keeping his eyes shut. he also watched a man pull the heart out of a dude with his bare hand and the dude somehow remained alive for quite some time afterward. and he met a knight that was over a 700 years old in a cave in a desert with a cup that makes you immortal. but now you cry foul?

in the words of the great gob bluthe: “c’mon!”

sincerely,
my ironic mustache
