Despite all of the personal and moral problems I have with Hillary Clinton, despite the fact that she will do anything to ensure that Barack Obama does not win the Democratic nomination or the Presidency, there is one thing, one giant thing that bothers me even more about her: her teeth. [...]

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg wants privacy of his own. In order to get it, he has sued 02138 Magazine in order to get them to remove an unflattering article. Maybe Zuckerberg should pay a visit to the privacy tab on his Facebook profile.

Last spring in our Writing for TV class, we had a conference call with Rob McElhenney, the creator of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. As a thank you our class sent him a t-shirt that reads “Emerson College Football - Undefeated Since 1880.” (Emerson has never had a football team, hence the [...]

Moments ago there was a commotion outside on Boylston Street. At first, all I heard was a woman yelling, then it grew much louder. Everyone ran over to the window so see a protest of about 200 people as they marched down Boylston. There was loud music and plenty of signs that [...]

The above is a still frame from the Apocalypto teaser trailer. This is not a photoshoped image. It’s a creepy image of a grinning Mel Gibson, looking like Saddam Hussein (or Ted Kazanski as Matt suggested) with some sort of hand rolled cigarette dangling from his lip, leaning against a white-face-painted child actor from Apocalypto. This is just one single frame from the trailer.
I’m going to steer clear of the obvious jokes not only in regards to Mel’s arrest last year in which he went off on an antisemitic rant, but also his views on Jewish people in general and, of course, his views on women. I’m also going to steer clear of the craxy Mel jokes that are readily available all over teh internets. And I’m not even going to touch on the delicious irony that white supremacist Mel is posing with a group of children painted WHITE. Instead I’ll just let the still frame speak for itself. Just know this deer reader; the above image of Mel Gibson is the equivalent of an image surfacing of Tom Cruise trowing feces around a room while having sex with a man.
To see the frame in its original state view the Apocalypto teaser trailer then pause it when you see the monkey in the flashing montage about 3/4 the way through, then go backwards frame by frame for about 5-10 frames. Then you will see creepy Mel and the white boys.

There is a school in Brookline called The Devotion School. It’s located at the end of Devotion Street, which is a dead end street. Irony Alert!

Work was dead last night. As a result we spent the majority of our evening quoting “Family Guy.” The few of us working just stood around outside doing absolutely nothing productive. Occasionally I went inside to check on my table (table singular) but then I would rejoin in the tomfoolery outside. [...]

There is this house on Highland Ave. in Somerville with the most adorable three-legged cat that’s always chillin in the front yard. Everytime I pass the house the cat slowly but surely makes its way to the gate, crying out and begging for attention. Even if I was in a hurry I still stop and [...]
