We Found This Week's Winner

You know, Charlie Sheen isn't the only Warlock out there in the world just winning his ass off.

Case and point, Kevin Crabtree. Former baseball prospect turned personal trainer. This my friends, is how you run on the field.



Crabtree was also celebrating his 27th birthday. Man, that is a fucking badass birthday run.

From the Smoking Gun:
Crabtree was subsequently corralled and charged with criminal trespass and evading arrest or detention, both misdemeanors. Pictured in the below mug shot, Crabtree is due Friday for an appearance in Harris County Criminal Court.

A Sugar Land, Texas resident, Crabtree is a former outfielder with Stephen F. Austin State University who was a first-team All-Southland Conference selection in 2008.

Misdemeanors? Who gives a fuck, dude is a legend now.

New Law to Protect Social Networkers

From the Huffington Post:
A landmark law proposed in California would upend social networking sites' privacy policies by instituting new restrictions on what user information is shared and requiring sites to institute more stringent privacy settings.

Internet companies and trade associations have already opposed proposal "SB242," authored by Senator Ellen Corbett, arguing that it would have "unintended consequences," a negative effect on their business, and force users to make uninformed decisions about their privacy, by making them choose their privacy settings before ever using the social networking services. 

The bill, which would apply only to users in California, would prohibit sites from displaying users' home addresses or telephone numbers without their consent and would mandate services remove of any information about a user within 48 hours of the request, or face a $10,000 fine.

Under the proposed law, social networking sites would be required to have all users choose their privacy settings--explained in "plain language"--as part of the registration process. It also spells out a privacy setting that would be mandated to serve as the default on all sites and that would prohibit "the display...of any information about a registered user, other than the user's name and city of residence, without the agreement of the user."

This shit better get passed. Because I want some national legislation that works like this. Look, I think it is hypocritical for people to bitch at Facebook for sharing their info. The site is about sharing info. But I do think that the default settings shouldn't involve Facebook giving third parties my information. I should have to set my preferences to share my info, not dig through the control panel on Facebook to prevent third party websites from getting my phone number.

It isn't like Facebook will stop making money if this passes either. It will just make it harder for them to sell their product. This leads me to my next point.

Facebook idiots of America. Think about Facebook this way. Facebook's product is your information. Which you post willingly on your page. They then sell that product to third party companies. Mostly internet sites. These sites do any number of things. They run those annoying ads on Facebook's site. They use your information and likes for marketing purposes. They put their product on Facebook and gauge reactions.

Your personal information is gold these days people. Facebook is cool, but as a company it is out to sell your information for a profit. Just remember that.

Two and Half Men Train Wreck

So I don't know how I fucked this one up. It came out about three days ago that Ashton Kutcher has been hired for a new "undisclosed" role on Two and a Half Men.

From USA Today:
CBS and Warner Bros., which produces the show, today will announce that Kutcher will fill a new, undisclosed role in a one-year deal for the show's ninth season, expected to consist of about 24 episodes. Men's future was in jeopardy when Sheen was fired earlier this year after a history of substance abuse, erratic behavior and public tirades against his bosses.

Kutcher had this to say about replacing Charlie Sheen.

"I can't wait to get to work with this ridiculously talented 2.5 team, and I believe we can fill the stage with laughter that will echo in viewers' homes," Kutcher said in a statement. "I can't replace Charlie Sheen, but I'm going to work my ass off to entertain the hell out of people!"


With this move, CBS is officially killing Two and a Half Men. Ashton Kutcher? Kelso? Really? Is he going to play Charlie's retarded illegitimate son who inherits the house when Charlie has a heart attack in an orgy with twenty women trying to break the Guiness Book of World Record for most consecutive rounds of coitus? Shit, they should hire my ass to write for that dumb show.

Douche alert

But seriously, this little stunt will make it through the first season tops. I'm thinking they will get through about 10 episodes and pull the show.

The glory that was Two and a Half Men wasn't just in the Warlock himself. It was how he interacted with everyone. He's a horrible influence on Jake, a torment to Allen, and then there is Berta.

The only American to win in Vietnam

I just think when I sit down to watch the new show, I'm going to wonder what the Warlock id doing right now (obviously bi or tri-winning) and just shut it off. Ashton there is a reason why every other male actor passed on this role. This show is fucked with Charlie. You better get a fat paycheck for that one year because it's all you are getting.

Seth MacFarlane Gets Flinstones

From Screen Junkies:
Animation juggernaut Seth MacFarlane has just gotten permission to move forward on reboots of “The Flintstones” as both both a TV show and a film. No word on whether or not the film would be animated (pleasedearGodyes) or yet another live-action film (pleasedearGodnoespeciallyifitinvolvesStephenBaldwin).

Understandably, the previous owners of the rights were concerned with MacFarlane’s track record of raunchy programming and how that would play with the venerable property. However, they made their peace with his involvement, probably around the same time that 20th Century Fox started backing up dump trucks of money to their houses.

I find it hilarious that the owners of the rights to Flinstones were worried about Seth MacFarlane doing the new television show and movie. Hey guys, have you seen Family Guy? Sure it's raunchy at times, but there is really smart humor in there as well. And he makes bank for that show. So much bank that he even gets to make shit spinoff's.

Seth MacFarlane, making poop jokes...and dough

I think he will make the show and movie good. And they will be raunchy and hilarious, but they will be huge hits. Everything MacFarlane does turns to gold. And you know Flinstones will be awesome as a Family Guy-type comedy. Fuck do you remember the old show? They shit in dinosaurs' mouths. There will be some funny stuff.

Movie Review: The Fighter

Okay so I know this isn;t actually useful. I'm the loser who is always last to see some movie that kicks ass. I mean fuck even my Grandmother saw The Fighter before me. Anyway.

Christian Bale makes Mark Wahlberg look like a chump-actor in this movie. Mark Wahlberg plays Mickey who is a low-level boxer from Lowell, Massachusetts. the depiction of Irish white trash families was fucking money. Wahlberg also helped produce the movie. But he plays an easy role for him. Boston/ Irish, check.

It could be a crackhead

Christian Bale on the other hand plays Dicky, Micky's older washed-up crackhead brother. And he plays the shit out of that role. I think that drug depictions in movies are usually somehow warped, but this depiction of a crackhead holding onto the past was perfect. And the chick in the movie is pretty cute, and she punches like fucking Brock Lesnar, trust me.

Gingers pack a mean punch

But overall the story is a cheesy idea that the cast makes awesome. Wahlberg is good, but like I said, Bale is the shit. Jumping out of crackhouse windows into a pile of garbage, he did it all.
