We love The Sports Guy almost as much as Deadspin.com
Wednesday, September 28th, 2005Bill “The Sports Guy” Simmons is easily the most readable writer on ESPN.com. His voice is defined, his sports knowledge is impressive and his range of pop culture references is nothing short of magnificent for his field.
But what has really impressed the Media Bitchfest staff is his new, The Curious Guy, column. Although it is […]
When does it go to plaid
Wednesday, September 28th, 2005You may have missed it today. But Drudge went to all red headlines to announce the Delay debacle.
The question for today: What justifies red headlines? Is it above a siren or below a siren? Is it in between one siren and two or maybe even two and three? Remember, 9/11 got three sirens so […]
Carmelo grows up
Wednesday, September 28th, 2005In the interest of full disclosure:
-The staff of Media Bitchfest attended Syracuse University during the tenure and subsequent championship of Carmelo Anthony.
-We are relatively positive that during his year in the ‘Cuse he banged roughly 68 women. Mind you, basketball season (and the hype that goes along with it) didn’t start until November-esqe. Well played […]
Warrier…. come out and plaaaaaaaaaaaaay
Friday, September 23rd, 2005As solid hockey fans, Media Bitchfest is pumped that the NHL is on its way back and would love nothing more than to see it succeed. Earlier this week they unleashed what they hope will be a shiny, polished reinsertion into pop culture with the “my NHL” campaign.
The short video (cut into five Sun-Tzu […]
Speechless
Friday, September 23rd, 2005Just speechless.
asap sucks, and one!
Friday, September 23rd, 2005And one: A phrase meant to show an exceptional success. Derived from basketball regulation that if a player is fouled while making a basket, that player gets to shoot one penatly shot.
Here is another example of someone who needs an explanation. Young Jeezy’s defining logo is a snowman with a blue bandana. Young Jeezy is […]
Gettin’ tanked at the kiddie table
Thursday, September 22nd, 2005Well, if journalism’s corpse wasn’t decaying fast enough for you, check out the latest from the AP’s “news for readers we assume are in a permanent vegetative state” desk, asap.
Drunk Dialing — it’s like, alcohol + technology = awesome!
I have commissioned stories on drunk dialing before, which makes me all the more embarrassed that a […]
A permit for publicity
Thursday, September 22nd, 2005So what do Cindy Sheehan and Michael Moore have in common? Well, okay, a lot. Not the least of which is the fact that the Bitchfest wouldn’t fuck either with Al Franken’s dick.
But new to the center of the Venn diagram is the love of staging fake crackdowns from the government. Cindy’s came earlier this […]
There are two Glicks?
Thursday, September 22nd, 2005Imagine our confusion.
Many lazy ass writers
Thursday, September 22nd, 2005Missed this piece on Slate yesterday.
It seems that many writers turn to ambiguous words to report what may be a trend, when much of their time is spent yukking it up about Bush’s UN wee-wee note and not finding a few actual pieces of research.
