Conan Conquers Finland
Thursday, February 23rd, 2006
In an interview that could not be more awkward if it tried, Conan O’Brien was nice enough to sit down with two Finnish chatheads to talk about his audience with that country’s president. Just watch.
Highlights include:
- The cutaways to Conan’s face while the hosts presumably tell the audience… well something… in their native tounge
- […]
Just When You Thought It Was Safe…
Thursday, February 23rd, 2006Frey vs. Charlie is back. The ongoing comparison between fakeass “memoir”-ist James Frey and Lost’s own baby stealing, Korean kidnapping, heroin addiction recoverin’ bass player.
Seems as if Riverhead, the publishing house that was set to deliver big bucks for Frey’s next two books has jettisoned the faker. Frey’s next scheduled book was to be his […]
Chinese Fear Western World, Roger Rabbit
Thursday, February 23rd, 2006When they aren’t peeing in your Coke, they’re ruining television for their entire country. I’m gonna go slowly here just to make sure you’re getting this – In China…ALL films and shows…in which CARTOONS interact with HUMANS….are now BANNED.
The concept is that by clearing the airwaves and theaters of all this wily international inter-media cross-breeding, […]
Three Stars of the Newscycle 2.22.05
Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006On this lazy Wednesday, we celebrate Lost reruns, the birth of a flake of snow, and at least three delightful and unique stars of a newscycle.

Some crazy chancellor at a Canadian college is turning off WiFi because he heard that the radio waves cause brain cancer and shit. If you’re waiting for a Cum Fiesta […]
Gervais Goes For Your Pocket
Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006Our love for The Ricky Gervais Show podcast is well documented.
But now, the time we thought would never come, has sadly arrived. The 12th of 12 Ricky Gervais Show podcasts was made available on Monday and with it, the delirious dream of incredible, free, internet radio has died.
We can say goodbye to segments we know […]
Booze It Or Loose It
Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006So a fundamentalist regime takes over your highly unstable geopolitical region, possibly slamming prohibitive alcohol restrictions on your burgeoning microbrewery, what do you do?
Pander to them, of course. Say hello to Hamas: The Beer, a non-alcoholic brew for the discriminating reformed terrorist. Look for it at finer markets in the Palestine area next to “Al-Aqsa […]
Three Stars of the Newscycle: 2.21.06
Tuesday, February 21st, 2006Yo, did Hercules from Ain’t It Cool News just start adopting Bitchfest style? Here is the headline, which is currently number one on AICN’s most read stories ticker:
Sweeps Day 19!!
24’s Jack Bauer On
Double-Secret Probation!! Plus!! BACHELOR Bitchfest ‘06!!
Wishful thinking, I know. But wouldn’t be cool? If this is not cosmic coincidence, please Herc drop me […]
Bitchin’ on the Dock of the Bay
Tuesday, February 21st, 2006Seems as if folks* are all in a tizzy about a United Arab Emirates owned company taking control over a most of America’s major ports. Bush made the rare gesture of inviting reports back to the conference room on Air Force One to let them know that he is fully supportive of the deal and […]
The Cat’s (XXL) Pajamas
Tuesday, February 21st, 2006I don’t know whether I find this disgusting or delightful.
Please, someone tell me how I feel!

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006Right-wing British historian David Irving is quick to explain that he isn’t a holocaust denier…any more…since being arrested for it.
“I made a mistake when I said there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz,” Irving testified
To be fair, we all mess up. A coal-miner mistakes his co-workers head for a healthy chunk of Anthracite […]
