So in catching up on my comics reading after weeks of being too busy, I finally got to read Brightest Day #0 and yeah, it’s a pretty bad comic. Whenever a character refers to the title of the comic unironically, you know you’re in severe hit-or-miss territory, and between Captain Boomerang explaining The Shawshank Redemption […]

So somewhere on this site I’ve said that I’m willing to review products that are sent to me. This is for one major reason: I like getting free things. I am not at all ashamed of getting free things or being sent free things. If Apple wants to send me an iPad, I will review […]

See, all the hype lately is about how Grant Morrison is going to write a story where Batman travels through time and is Batman in different eras. But Batman is totally stealing this schtick. Who beat him to it? Obviously, Batman draws his inspiration from Rex the motherfucking Wonder Dog, as is right and proper.

Your guest judge is Tasty Oreo, who is amusingly bewildered when Jason Coleman leads the crowd in a round of “Aussie Aussie Aussie/Oi Oi Oi,” which is not coincidentally also the cheer for Osgoode Hall law school students.

Top […]

For those who haven’t, she’s an out lesbian who’s graduating from high school this year, and wanted to go to prom.

Hey, everybody. Long story short: the next two weeks for me are nothing but writing my tax policy paper, studying, writing exams, and then collapsing in a heap for a couple of days having – hopefully – graduated law school.1 So I’ll be back in two weeks. Hopefully my guestbloggers will chip in with some […]

So I briefly considered doing an April Fools Who’s Who post where Batman would be, like, 2 percent Rex the Wonder Dog, but rejected it because after thirty seconds I was all “there’s no way this is actually going to be particularly funny, it’ll just be a series of all those shitty ‘jokes’ people already […]

Jessica P. Ballroom has a bad back and has to leave the competition, but luckily they have Jess H. to replace her, which is great because that way nobody even has to remember different names too much. (Also, Natalie Bassingthwaite is wearing an incredibly ugly dress. Is she pregnant? That could explain the dress.) Jessie […]
