Mama Mia!
Monday, October 31st, 2005Pardon the Media Bitchfest staff for beaming with oily dagowop pride now that Samuel Alito has replaced everyone’s favorite Secretary of the Month as Supreme Court appointee.
A few funny observations about today’s announcement:
- The lead AP story quotes Alito’s elderly mother for the bambino’s abortion stance:
Alito’s mother shed some light. “Of course, he’s against abortion,” […]
At least he did not die in vain
Monday, October 24th, 2005From the Sun-Sentinel’s story on Hurricane Wilma:
In Palm Beach County, two deaths were linked to Wilma on Monday. The first involved a man who went outside to move his van during the eye of the storm. A tree or tree limb hit the vehicle. Somehow that resulted in the man’s head going through the windshshield, […]
The final countdown
Monday, October 24th, 2005So last Sunday, we get the big ol’ story about Judith Miller’s excellent adventure, from annoying bitch to that annoying bitch who went to jail for a book deal.
This weekend we get word that Times Executive Editor Bill Keller sent around a staff email detailing his ruminations on the subject.
There have also been calls […]
Ronery Business
Tuesday, October 18th, 2005Kim Jong-Il is looking to get into the movie business.
Media Bitchfest scorecard:
+3 for mentioning Kimmie’s satire in Team America: World Police
-7 for not interviewing Trey Parker about the subject
Reason for scoring: When you look at the quality of quotes this man gives, he has to be the most underinterviewed person in the nation.
Example: […]
Awesomeness may also follow
Monday, October 17th, 2005Here is an interesting story on Beer Pong. However, in what I know about The Sport of Kings there are a few fallacies I would like to debunk.
First: “It’s catching on like wildfire,” Ms. Katz said. “We created it as an icebreaker for young adults to meet each other.”
- Okay, I am going to go […]
This is not a paid endorsement
Thursday, October 13th, 2005If either ABC or Apple would like to remedy this, please email JustinRobertYoung@Gmail.com and we can discuss compensation options.
There is a reason why Apple is where it is today. They, quite simply, deliver. When Apple calls a press conference, there is little doubt that 90% of the audience is going to leave physically aroused. Let’s […]
Dear El Al Airlines…
Thursday, October 6th, 2005I, Matt Drudge would like to cancel my flight to Tel Aviv. Here I think that Gaza is just one big swingin’ place and then I come to find out that if Hamas gets its way, everything reverts to pre-Bacon Footloose.
Thank you.
Talk about recovering from an injury
Wednesday, October 5th, 2005In fairness, it is pronounced WONG.
Still…
And just because we will use any excuse for a Caddyshack quote:
“I hear this place is restricted, Wang, so don’t tell ‘em you’re Jewish, okay?”
No, no, it’s a-NAL-ra-pist
Tuesday, October 4th, 2005Whatever discoveries the newspaper industry has gleaned from its latest foray into the world of quanitifying how hard the youth of America are ass-fucking them, it is all for naught. Why? They just created the Newspaper Audience Database, also known as…
The NADbase lists the top 100 papers by how many adults have read the print […]
Update: Harvey a hit
Tuesday, October 4th, 2005Listened to the new FREE! Harvey Danger album and have to declare it… awesome. I am going to buy a hard copy from the band for the bonus disc and I suggest you do the same should you enjoy it as much as I do.
Before we go any further here, let’s get a few things […]
