CONDEMN OR ALLOW: Aggressive Novelty Plane Banners
Yesterday a plane circled high above Penn State‘s statue of football-hero/rape facilitator Joe Paterno, dragging a banner that bore a message for the school: TAKE DOWN THE STATUE OR WE WILL It’s a message from the same guy who hired a plane to troll Tiger Woods at Pebble Beach and reminds me of a campaign […]

URGENT POLL: Should the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Say “Cowabunga!” or “Booyakasha”?
Comic-Con photo by Mercury art director Justin “Scrappers” Morrison WHAT THE FUCK! The four remaining fans of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were recently able to sigh a big, Doritos-scented sigh of relief when Michael Bay’s Ninja Turtle reboot was brutally euthanized—but now, because evil never sleeps, there’s been another assault on the Heroes in […]

This Tenacious D Video Needs to Be Funnier

Last night, I took a break from Occupy coverage to see the saddest movie ever, How to Die in Oregon, at the Whitsell Auditorium in the Portland Art Museum. The movie follows an upbeat, awesome 54-year-old Portland mom with liver cancer as she chooses to end her life under Oregon’s Death With Dignity law. At […]
