What the hell, Fox News

Posted by MGK Published in It's The Youtube, WTF

Attacking Mister Rogers? Seriously. Mister Rogers, for crissake. It’s rare that I would quote a Youtube comment as eloquent, but: Even 4chan doesn’t talk shit about Mr. Rogers. That’s how low Fox news has become.

My Harvey Awards ballot

Posted by MGK Published in Comics

BEST WRITER: Jason Aaron, “SCALPED”, Vertigo/DC Comics. I thought Blackest Night was a joyless, boring slog and Irredeemable isn’t much better. (Of course, at least Geoff Johns isn’t complaining about superheroes being dark and joyless while writing a dark, joyless superhero book, so he’s still ahead of Waid right now.) Diary of a Wimpy Kid […]

“What do sixteen hundred Christian boys think girls should wear? Let’s find out!”

Posted by MGK Published in The Internets, WTF

So the Modesty Survey is starting to make its way around the internet, and for me this is a totally alien subculture. I mean, I was raised Catholic, but being raised Catholic in Toronto is not exactly the strictest form of Christian upbringing, to say the least; the only thing you’re guaranteed to have is […]

Hey look a trailer for Thor

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Flicks

FLAPJACKS: Hey, you remember how two days ago you were all “oh I want to see new stuff” and then you pretended to be, like, all cool about Thor even though you’re a giant nerd? ME: I am a nerd, but I’ve never been one of those nerds with a giant boner for Thor. Not […]

SYTYCD Bloggin’

Posted by MGK Published in Obligatory So You Think You Can Dance Category, TV

Aw Shucks and All-Star Anya: cha cha. Anya’s makeup is horrendous. Kent started dancing this with some genuine Latin flavour and then suddenly it just all went away as he stopped dancing from his hips, which is disappointing because there have been many more cha chas on SYTCYD which have been far more complex than […]

This is what excites me

Posted by MGK Published in Flicks, General Nerd Crap

A lot of people have emailed me asking about Comicon and what I am most hyped about and usually my answer is “none of it.” (Well, other than TRON Legacy, but we already knew about that.) Most of what gets advertised at Comicon nowadays is adaptation piled on top of adaptation, and although I’ll doubtless […]

Why protests don’t work, part two

Posted by MGK Published in Politics

I was at the bar with friends last week and discussion turned to the G20, mostly because I hadn’t seen most of them in a while and I wanted to tell them all my good G20 stories (IE, “the ones I won’t publish online because they were off the record”), and subsequently it turned into […]
