I know Michael Jackson bashing is a bit passe, but Dear God…. this clip is just ghastly.
How would you explain to a seven year old today that this guy was the genius behind ‘Thriller’ and ‘Off The Wall’? His fall from grace must only be rivalled by Whitney Houston’s, and at least she could blame weed and crack. There’s definite body dysmorphia to blame, but the real culprits have to be his parents, who instilled in him a shame in his black heritage. Such a terrible pity.
Hate to kick a guy when he’s down, but seriously, what is MJ doing here?
Auditioning for a new Zorro movie?
All jokes aside, I hope the sickness rumours are only tabloid rubbish… I’m still holding out hope for a legitimate comeback one day. I won’t be holding my breath though.
Here’s the definition of Child Abuse.
What a great start to life these parents have given their children. I guess this is what happens when you let siblings marry.
Seriously, forget Drivers Licences…. Surely Parent Licences are a far more important piece of governmental control. Otherwise you have this situation….

When the producers of this show started brainstorming theme ideas, who was the one who pitched the upbeat jazz theme for the show that follows a coroner? And how drunk were they?
I also love how the credits close with a Quincy looking like he’s performing an autopsy, only he’s actually hanging out with a hot blonde on his yacht. Yep, those high-flying medical examiners are big with the ladies.
Any suggestions for TV themes that rate higher on the unintentional comedy scale?
Here’s a clip from The Soup that inexplicably features a photo of a spaghetti eating cat in the middle of some hard-hitting hot talk journalism.
I get the feeling someone in the crew might have been trying out a new Rickroll.
Did you see today’s news that Telstra are looking for some government film finance for the feature film they are producing based on the ‘Emperor Nasi Goreng / Rabbits’ series of TV commercials?
I don’t really care about the conflict of Telstra applying for government funding, I’m more concerned with the idiots who think the comedy of 10 seconds of this commercial can be sustained over a 90 minute film.
For those who have been living in caves for the last four years, here’s the commercial in question:
Let it go people. It sustained maybe one chuckle when it was released. It’s not a frikkin’ comedy goldmine! It’s a setup and payoff that works once.
I would love to see the screenplay for this film; I bet you the father and son from the commercial have many more wacky misadventures as a result of the Dad’s ignorance. Hilarity ensues! You know what else would be original? Make the Dad a little Aussie battler who triumphs against the greedy fat cats in the end. That’s gold, Jerry, GOLD!
From the ‘wacky’ news file of WTF Were They Thinking ?!?, the story of Sean Jennings, a man in Spokane, Washington who attempted to kill his wife by luring her blindfolded into what he told her was a ‘Haunted House’ he had built for Halloween, but was actually just a noose hanging from the roof of their garage.
Just as she was losing consciousness he had a crisis of conscience and released her from the noose. He then told her to put aloe on the rope burns and wear a neck brace to cover it up. She went to the police instead.
“He just felt horrible about the whole thing,” said his public defender, Anna Nordtvedt at his recent trial where he received a 12 year sentence for attempted murder.
I mean, come on, he felt bad about it, isn’t that punishment enough?
I don’t mean to transform this blog into a website dedicated to burgers, but with the announcement of Hungry Jack’s new Quad Burger I realised that we really aren’t too far away from the “Good Morning Burger” from The Simpsons. You remember… “First we take eighteen ounces of sizzling ground beef, and soak it in rich, creamery butter, then we top it off with bacon, ham, and a fried egg. We call it the Good Morning Burger.”
And that was considered satire less than a decade ago.
What an appetising product shot…
I’m not saying I wouldn’t enjoy eating one of these bad boys (particularly after a big night out – greasy burger = excellent hangover cure), but should we really be making these available to the Jabba’s that have no self control. Isn’t that like selling barrel casks to winos?
What’s their next step in their mission to fatify the nation? The Luther Burger?
Now that is a good looking burger.
It’s pretty rare for me to write anything political around here, but the juicy possibility of this rumour being true piqued my curiousity; Seems recent Republican VP nod, Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin may have lied about being the mother of her Down Syndrome youngest child and may actually be the child’s grandmother. . Just a fascinating read, and hard to discount once you see the photos and read the facts.
Now perhaps I’m revelling in this because her nutty beliefs are in direct contradiction to my own (she wants more Alaskan oil drilling, creationism taught in schools, and to overturn Roe v. Wade), and I know this kind of thing happens outside of politics all the time, but the consequences of this being revealed as the truth and the outcome on her credibility would be riveting. In that case, the “WTF Were They Thinking?!?” would be directed at the Republican Party for shooting themselves in the foot in what is already sure to be a difficult election for them to win. If it does end up being ammunition for the Democrats, high fives all round. Bring on Obama.
For those who don’t know much about her, here’s The Daily Show’s thoughts after McCain announced her as his running mate:
And how great is this poster pisstake the Gawker came up with:
Hands down most ridiculous movie-tie to a burger chain in I have ever seen…
“Inspired by the Dark Knight”? How the hell can a movie be inspiration for a burger??? And what exactly makes a Whopper ‘Dark’? Double cooking the patties? Barbecue sauce instead of tomato sauce? An extra pattie made of 100% moral ambiguity?
You know what I hunger for? Advertising companies that don’t treat consumers like we are retarded.
