NOOGIE RUBS TEACHER THE WRONG WAY

15-year-old Ethan Mirenberg is crying foul after being suspended for giving his Spanish teacher noogies, or “el noogies.” His lawyer Edward Paltzik claims the teacher was asking for it, alleging “This teacher has a history of encouraging noogie behavior.” (that’s an actual quote, no seriously ) It’s hard to believe she was looking for noogie but if she was, let’s just be grateful she pronounced it clearly or this would

FUTURAMA: THE BEAST WITH A BILLION BACKS – REVIEW

You’d think the appearance of a huge dimensional rift in space would command your full attention, unfortunately the Planet Express crew’s a little preoccupied, what with Amy & Kiff getting married,  Bender joining the League of Robots, and Fry going where every man’s gone before (i.e. Colleen his new polygamist girlfriend). But just like the previous Futurama movie, Bender’s Big Score, all these subplots come together brilliantly. Fry finds it

INFANTILE POLITICAL ADS

Moveon.org’s latest political ad smacks of hypocrisy. The ad (video below) features what I can only assume is a gay unwed mother addressing John McCain, pleading with him not to take her baby to fight his 100-year war. Forget the fact that this commercial distorts McCain’s words in which he said he’d be fine with staying in Iraq for 100 years “so long as” our soldiers were safe such as

CITIZEN TOXIE: THE TOXIC AVENGER 4 – REVIEW

Melvin Ferd’s been mopping the floor with criminals ever since he fell into a barrel of toxic waste that transformed him into a hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength – The Toxic Avenger! But this time around Toxie must face his most fiendish foe yet… himself. While fighting the Diaper Mafia, a terrorist group that’s taken a school of mentally challenged kids hostage, Toxie is caught in the

STUDENTS GET MADD

Students at El Camino High were heartbroken Monday morning, when they learned that one of their classmates had died in a drunken driving accident. Police offered their condolences to the class and left a rose on the empty desk in memoriam of the victim. After 2 hours of grieving the students were informed that their classmate was not in fact dead and that the ruse was part of Mother’s Against

MARVELOUS DRUGS

If you’ve been reading Marvel comics lately you’ve probably noticed one prevailing theme – drugs (and not the good kind like the ones that make babies go away). I think it all started with Quicksilver feening over the Terrigen Mists. Sure they may have been more mystical than pharmaceutical, but the affect was same. Quicksilver became dark & brooding, even his gaunt appearance resembled that of a junkie. Then in

MAPLE STORY – REVIEW

Maple Story is my favorite kinda game – FREE! And it’s addictive (as you may have surmised from the lack of updates). Maple Story is an Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG), which basically means you can be accosted by people from around the world. Luckily, there’s like 20 different channels, with most players residing on channel 1, so if anyone bothers you or you just want some me-time you

AUSTRALIANS ARE PIGS

There’s plenty of websites that calculate when you’re gonna die, but now there’s finally a kid-friendly site that’ll tell you when you should die! The Australian Broadcasting Company (ABC) website features an animated greenhouse calculator (link) that determines how long you deserve to live based on your carbon footprint. The more resources you consume, the more immense your portly avatar becomes until it explodes. And unless you ride a bike

CHANGE YOU CAN’T BELIEVE IN

A day late and a dollar short, CNN (video) is finally vetting Barack Obama – after he’s already won! (oh well, it won’t help Clinton but it’s great ammunition for Republicans) The so-called “candidate of change” wasn’t exactly following his mantra when he ran for the Illinois Senate back in 1996. Rather than campaign against his opponents on issues, Obama challenged their voting petition signatures. If a signature collector wasn’t
