Stuff I'd write more about if my brain was working

OPi8.com : NEW DARK CULTURE is where I ordered my Corporate Whore t-shirt from. Hell yes, I wear it to work. You confuse me with someone who even pretends to give a fuck.

Yolk | generasian next is another magazine I don't fit the demographics for.

The Mars Canon looks like the sort of film that isn't going to make it to Minneapolis any time soon.

Metrosexuality might have been screened at one of the local bars, but they managed to hide this pretty well. Or I'm just looking in the wrong places.

BRITNEY, BABY, ONE MORE TIME! would probably make Anja's head explode. I am debating whether or not this would be a good thing.

Down and Out With the Dolls has a cool flash site and cute punk chicks. What more could you need? Well, there's good music, too, so you have no excuse.

This week(end)'s This American Life: Give It To Them.

Polls show that most Israelis are confused about what to think about the current situation. "Give It To Them" [image at the TAL site] is a bumper sticker slogan fromTel Aviv that captures the contradictory feelings. In Hebrew it has the same sad double meaning as in English -- Nachzir L'Hem V'Shalom Al Yisrael -- meaning, roughly, "Give it to them and there'll be peace in Israel." That is, "Give back the territories and there will be peace in Israel" and also "Sock it to them and there will be peace in Israel." This week, stories of what life is like these days in Israel and the West Bank ... with Palestinians stuck indoors for weeks under curfew ... and many Israelis trying to ignore the conflict, though that, of course, isn't easy.

I expect the show will be decried as more pro-Palestinian propaganda from the lunatic fringe.

Update: And of course, you can find local air/stream times at Public Radio Fan.

The rest of the line-up for Shonen Jump has been anounced. Well, I liked Akira Toriyama's character designs for Tobol No. 2, anyway. . .

Update: Forgot about Babyhead Magazine. From the description:

Babyhead both satirizes and plays homage to the cartoons and TV shows of the 70’s and 80’s, asking and answering pressing questions that no other magazines dares to: What is the Superfriends conspiracy? What ever happened to Jem and the Holograms? What would Diff’rent Strokes: The Movie look like? What’s the real deal about Degrassi Jr. High?

Ok, this one I think I hit the demographic for.

"Give it to them"? Reminds me of this film: http://us.imdb.com/Title?0102288

Interesting. Should I add that to the ever-growing rental list?

The one I never remember to take to the video store with me, because I suck?
