Now Showing: Podge & Rodge Download Porn
Much thanks to Mr. Bankert for his insights into the Irish zeitgeist, and for putting me onto Podge & Rodge, a pair of ginger puppet brothers who rock my world.
RIP Ingmar Bergman
Swedish auteur Ingmar Bergman has died. He was 89.
I'd like to say he died following a really long, albeit beautifully photographed, illness. But that would be disrespectful.
The truth is, Bergman was a serious artist, far more serious than my sitcom-addled brain can even comprehend. Turning Swedish melancholy into art, Bergman dared to talk about those things that make people most nervous, namely sex and death.
Though many will try, we shall not see his like again.

VH1's "I Hate My 30s" featuring Kelly
It looks like everybody's favourite shoe queen Kelly and her creator, new media sensation Liam Kyle Sullivan, are getting their shot at the big time.
Well, bigger than YouTube anyway.
(Waitaminnit... Is VH1 bigger than YouTube?)
She's At It Again
While I sit here fiddling away at this hot mess, J. K. Rowling is already hard at work, writing not one but two novels.
What? Only two? Get back to work ya lazy cow!
Of course, when you write 745 page novels that people read in two days, you need to write alot. Here's a hint luv: make the next one boring, give yourself a bit of a rest. You don't want to end up with a Repetitive Stress Novel.
Meanwhile, I'm, uh, reading two novels at the same time. That's good too, right?
