Thanks to the folks at Lamebook (who collect actual Facebook posts), we have ever more access to the entertaining depths of human stupidity…
I’m thinking red state.

Big Buck Bunny (CGI Cartoon)
Funny.
A Great Joke
Thanks to Sherran Lucas for this…
The Pope and Sarah Palin are on the same stage in Yankee Stadium in front of a huge crowd. The Pope leans towards Mrs. Palin and says, “Do you know that with one little wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy?”
Palin replies, “I seriously doubt that with one little wave of your hand? Show me!”
So the Pope backhands her.
Tim Burton’s Weekend At Bernie’s
In the same wonderful spirit as Wes Anderson’s Spider-Man, here’s a taste of what Tim “Frankenweenie” Burton might do with the noir classic Weekend At Bernie’s.
Johnny Depp features. But then, it’s a Burton piece.
It’s here. I’d have embedded it, but it won’t. So.
In Memorium: Jackie Chan’s Awesomeness
I wish I’d come up with this. Kudos.
As a Chan fan from years before most people in this country ever heard of him, I agree 100%.
Jackie with Michelle Yeoh, who still retains full mega awesome to this day.
Wes Anderson’s Spider-Man
Inspired.
ur frodo (Facebook hilarity)
An actual status message exchange from Facebook:
Conan the Mighty (O’Brien on Healthcare)
Sounds about right…
“President Obama says that Congress is very close to getting a new healthcare plan, but due to compromises it ‘won’t include everything that everybody wants.’ For instance, it covers everything except trips to the doctor or the hospital.”
—Conan O’Brien
Pigeon: Impossible (A Great Short Film)

A Political Reality (great cartoon)
Tom Tomorrow is by far one of the funniest and wisest editorialists drawing funny pictures…
Why the Right Was Afraid of Obama’s School Speech (cartoon)
A hilarious cartoon by Carolita Johnson at Huffington Post:

Ferguson’s marvelous rant: ‘Why everything sucks’
Listen when a wise elder speaks.
So. Who’s Speaking For YOUR Political Views, hmm?
Turn Around, Bright Eyes
The latest literalization of an old video. It’s hilarious.
It’s A Hard Knock Life (for Kev and Alice)
Now here’s something you really need to see.
A blog by Robin Burkinshaw relates the poignant ongoing tale of a homeless father and daughter trying to survive in a harsh world. But the harsh world in which they live is inside a computer, and the pair exist only in that virtual realm:
This is an experiment in playing a homeless family in The Sims 3. I created two Sims, moved them in to a place made to look like an abandoned park, removed all of their remaining money, and then attempted to help them survive without taking any job promotions or easy cash routes…
I have attempted to tell my experiences with the minimum of embellishment. Everything I describe in here is something that happened in the game. What’s more, a surprising amount of the interesting things in this story were generated by just letting go and watching the Sims’ free will and personality traits take over.
Apparently The Sims has evolved to a point in which the artificial intelligence and social dynamics systems are damned near organic. The Sims have dreams, goals, and emotions and their behavior is driven by those qualities, resulting in complex relationships and interpersonal drama.
This is Kev and his daughter Alice. They’re living on a couple of park benches, surviving on free meals from work and school, and the occasional bucket of ice cream from a neighbour’s fridge.
When you create a person in The Sims 3, you can give them personality traits that determine their behaviour. Kev is mean-spirited, quick to anger, and inappropriate. He also dislikes children, and he’s insane. He’s basically the worst Dad in the world…
His daughter Alice has a kind heart, but suffers from clumsiness and low self-esteem. With those traits, that Dad, and no money, she’s going to have a hard life.
My Strange Interview With Old Bat’s Belfry
Old Bat’s Belfry, which earlier reviewed my book, has now posted an unusual interview with me, with decidedly non-standard questions:
What quirky habit do you have that often gets you teased by your peers or family?
Well, being a writer, and not having to report anywhere to do my job, I am routinely derelict about shaving. So I maintain varying levels of scruffiness, sometimes all the way up to what many call a beard, but I deny that, telling them it’s not, it’s just a really deep five o’clock shadow. I don’t like beards. They itch and they’re soup magnets.
For the rest, go here.
