Three Stars of the Newscycle: 8.31.06
Thursday, August 31st, 2006So the MTV Video Music Awards are tonight, the spectacle replete with overproduced pop spank dance numbers and enough blow-inspired burnt nose flesh to create the unmistakable must and low grade haze which annually envelopes Midtown, Lower Manhattan and (dependant on wind velocity) certain shore ports of Jersey City.
Tonight will mark the first time I […]

Three Stars of the Newscycle: 8.30.06
Wednesday, August 30th, 2006Let’s all pause for a minute today for Erik Young.
Full of vibrance, Erik’s quick (yet endearingly queer) wit never leaves him short of friends and admirers. His career in the food service industry will always be regarded as expedient at best and otherwise a model of mediocrity, but truly it is his music for which […]
Media Complimentfest
Wednesday, August 30th, 2006Normally this space is used to lampoon and harass media professionals who I have not and likely will never meet. I have carped into the hallow abyss of these internets for over a year now about how media pros are old, out of touch, socially deaf and culturally impotent boobs too focused on the “good […]
Three Stars of the Newscycle: 8.29.06
Tuesday, August 29th, 2006Well we really have a come from behind victory today. The Gabby Gals at CNN really can’t be beat, can they? Oh, you mean that whole John Karr thing was quickly swept under the rug today? AND it’s the one year anniversary of Katrina? AND my family is about to get hit by a tropical […]
BREAKING: CNN’s Exclusive Leak
Tuesday, August 29th, 2006The keen eye of a friend found this… well, he can explain…
I for one was appalled when Bob Guccione decided to feature women peeing in the pages of Penthouse to bolster readership. It was depraved and did nothing for me or millions of other American males.
It seems CNN has not learned this lesson.
In this trend […]
The Ballad of the Sea Glutton
Tuesday, August 29th, 2006If you aren’t from Florida than you may not be familiar with the buoyant joy of the manatee. Known as the Sea Cow, these blubbery curds chortle amongst the gentle waves of Sunshine State rivers and estuaries. Long has it been assumed scientific fact that since these gigantic bulks have relatively tiny brains, they were […]
TOLD YOU SO
Monday, August 28th, 2006Yup, it was just me. No one else. Nobody saw this coming except for ME BABY, ME!
More on this tomorrow but God damn this was the greatest free flight scam ever.
Three Stars of the Newscycle 8.28.06
Monday, August 28th, 2006A bunch of our old Media Bitchfest friends show up for today’s Three Stars. Who’s bringing the dip? No, not him. I was talking to him earlier and he said he wasn’t. Yes I did. Yes I did. Yes I did. When? I talked to him
later, a half hour later.
Good.
I don’t know why you have […]
C’mon…
Monday, August 28th, 2006Last night, as an introduction to the Emmys host Conan O’Brien did a little run though all of televisions top shows. The first one was Media Bitchfest favorite, pseudo Sci Fi, love triangle factory Lost. For those who haven’t seen the show, the characters get on a mysterious island via a mysterious plane crash. So […]
