God Bless Us, Everyone!

Hey kids. It's Christmas time again. Amongst all the hustle and bustle of wrapping presents, mailing cards, baking things, and generally hating everyone in the parking lot of your local mall/Wal-Mart/corner gas station (depending on the size of the town where you live), let's not forget the most important part of the season:

The 15th anniversary of the student film debut of what would eventually become South Park!



I have to say, seeing how bad the work of the now-legendary Matt Stone and Trey Parker looked at my age makes me feel good about my own videos. It's good to know that everyone starts out looking like crap, with some halfway decent writing thrown in.

I have also heard that this time of year also something about that Jesus fellow. He must be really popular, the way that those politicians are always talking him. It's like they're trying to mooch off of his popularity or something.

Somehow, I feel I should end this post with an appropriate picture. Ah yes, here's one of a banner announcing Elon's big lighting ceremony that they put up every year:

Learnding!

Hey, kids! It's that time of year again where I learn many amazing facts, thanks to classes! That's right, it's finals time, where I screw around on the Internet instead of studying!

Thanks to my endless web browsing, in the last couple of weeks I've learned/been reminded of gems such as:

  • Pac-man technically ends at level 256, due to a glitch in the game.
  • Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos was actually canceled in the middle of its pilot episode when the network owner called in and told them to "get that shit off the air.
    • "In most states, however, the last clip reported seen on the show before it got pulled was of a child reaching for a kangaroo's genitals."
  • From several scenes filmed entirely in Wookie-speak to segments that were just copied directly from the original movie and poorly re-dubbed, the Star Wars Holiday Special is possibly the worst moment in TV history.
    • Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) was apparently so coked out during the filming of the Star Wars Holiday Special that she doesn't actually remember doing it.
  • People don't really think before naming their companies.
  • The guy behind such video game legends as Donkey Kong and the entire Mario and Zelda series is so crazy that there is only one guy who can understand what he says.
  • Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is a complete and utter asshole (Especially see paragraph 8). He is also a hypocrite.
Argh, it seems that my endless note-taking has even seeped into my blog-writing. Back to work, I suppose.

Since we're already on that political tangent...

So apparently Hillary Clinton is trying to discredit Obama's claim that he hasn't been plotting a run for office for decades, by bringing up essays that he wrote in third grade and kindergarten. No, really (scroll down to the bottom). I guess next she plans on claiming that he once accused someone of being a "doody head" and that he "didn't always share his crayons."

Of course, all of this doesn't really matter. We all know that in the end, it only matters who Chuck Norris picks for President.

The Internet: Making political satire obsolete since 1997.

Oh, and in keeping along with the same tangent from last time...
