What are you guys doing this Thanksgiving? I never really understood the whole “go to the movies during the holiday” thing, but I might actually take the special time I have explicitly reserved in my cold, dead heart for Thanksgiving and devote a few hours to go and see this throwback to my totally awesome childhood.
After a few spoofs and a really great teaser, the above – official – Muppets trailer is finally here, and I’m really excited about it. These guys were an integral part of my growing up, and I’m so glad that it appears nothing’s changed in the way these old friends are being portrayed.
Are you guys going to go see this movie? Who’s your favorite Muppet? I was always partial to Kermit. And Gonzo. Even though those bastards were always at odds with one another over the swine-like, bon-bon swilling Miss Piggy. Some girls have all the luck.
34-year-old Ryan Dunn of Jackass fame was killed late last night on a rural route in Pennsylvania.
Sources state that Dunn’s car lost control, flipped over a guardrail, struck a tree and burst into flames. Dunn and an unidentified passenger were both killed. Ryan had celebrated his recent birthday on June 11th.
As you can see from the photos in the gallery, Dunn’s Porsche was turned into a charred shell of twisted metal and not much else. TMZ states that photos are circulating of Dunn and friends drinking and partying just hours before the crash, but no word if alcohol was a factor in the accident.
Comedian Reggie Brown has made a career out of his Barack Obama impersonation—his cadence is right-on, and with a little makeup, Brown is nearly a dead ringer for the 44th president. Plus he’s pretty funny.
It’s small surprise, then, that Brown was hired to do a set, in character, at the Republican Leadership Conference held at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside this weekend.
The set started well, and it made pretty funny use of a slideshow presentation, but after about 18 minutes—and just as he was getting ready to zing Michele Bachmann!—the Obama impersonator was escorted offstage. (RLC President Charlie Davis himself did the axing—all smiles—and Brown handled the indignation very nicely.)
Gawker reports that Brown’s uncomfortably off-color, racially charged digs at the president were what arbitrated his ousting (and Charlie Davis agrees), but nearly everyothermediaoutlet is reporting that, when it comes to their own kind, ahahaha, Conservatives can’t take a joke.
In the video, you can hear the crowd turn just as soon as “Obama” makes his first joke about presidential hopeful Mitt Romney and his “first lady, second lady, uhh, third lady…” (Romney is Mormon.)
I’m really glad that she’s reemerging from the dust here, and it’s cute if she’s poking fun at her previous situations (if that is, indeed, what she’s doing – yet maybe she doesn’t even see the obvious parallels), but girlfriend still looks like she suffered a mild stroke, and for that? I am sad.
I would like to tell you that the term “retard” is very offensive to me. I am not offended because I ASSUME it would offend someone who has mental retardation. I am offened on how the word came to...
I am not offended that Rosie has a fear or anxiety of LP. I feel that when someone knows very little about things and or people they tend to be anxious. Think about it if you had never been around someone...
