Fruity Nuggets: The Ultimate Generic Cereal?

by -RoG- on 02/20/2008, 1:38 pm

Home of Fruity Nuggets!

I like my local grocery store, Pavilions. It's close by, they carry almost everything I like, and it's open all night so I can shop there when there are no lines to wait in. Yes, I still go to Trader Joes and Whole Foods (aka: Whole Paycheck) every week, but places like that obviously don't have certain bare necessities in life such as Pop Tarts and Glacier Freeze flavored Gatorade. That's where Pavilions comes in. So I was in there the other day perusing the cereal aisle when I came upon a generic gem that nearly brought me to tears... (more...)

Rotoscoping Needs To Die.

by -RoG- on 02/15/2008, 4:54 pm

whoah...

Yes, this could easily go on one of my old Things That Must Be Destroyed lists, but I haven't written one of those in years, so putting it in the blog here will do just fine. For those of you who don't know what rotoscoping is, it's a form of animation where artists literally trace each frame of a filmed video to give it a weird hand-drawn look... but you can still tell it was filmed. If you saw the recent film A Scanner Darkly, then you've seen a good example of interpolated rotoscoping. So why does rotoscoping need to die? Because I'm absolutely sick of seeing it. Yes, it can be a good tool for some animators 'n all, I understand that, but allow me to explain why I think it's getting way out of hand. (more...)

Love Locke Lost

That's right, there's a new episode of LOST on tonight! I seriously haven't been sucked into a show like this (with the exception of Dexter) in years. I know the show has its nay-sayers ("the show isn't going anywhere", "they're just making it up as they go", etc), but I absolutely must know how they're going to tie everything together at the end of this series. It's either going to be the most disappointing ending of all time, or it's going to prove beyond all doubt what an amazing writing team they have working on the show. Time will tell, but either way I'm hooked until the end. (more...)

1st Floor Elevator Users

by -RoG- on 02/12/2008, 3:06 pm

BASTARDS!!!!!

I don't know if it's simply bad luck or what, but anytime I'm in our elevator lately, I keep getting stopped by somebody on the first floor before we make it down to ground level. You know, people who actually feel the need to use an elevator to travel the equivalent of one flight of stairs. I know, I know... there are starving people in the world and my problems with riding in an elevator aren't that big a deal in the grand scheme o' things, but hear me out. (more...)

An Open Letter To The People Who Read My Open Letter To Hannah Montana

by Max Burbank on 02/09/2008, 3:06 pm

ATTENTION: You are on a comedy web site.

Hi.

How’s it going?

When you all read my open letter to Hannah Montana, I couldn’t believe how much feedback I got. I thought some of the responses were a teensy little bit over the top, but you know, it’s the Internet, right? (more...)

The Greatest Local Business Commercials, Including Crazy Eddie!

by -RoG- on 02/06/2008, 1:13 pm

I won't be beat! But maybe you can beat my graphic designer for me... please?

I have a confession to make: I've always been extremely entertained by local business commercials. Put on a Coca-Cola commercial and I can barely even sit through the entire thing without wanting to stand up and scream, but commercials produced for and by local companies? I could watch 'em all day long without even blinking. I've always said that the best kind of humor is unintentional humor, and believe me, there's nothing funnier than seeing an ultra low budget commercial for a local company that was probably done by some college freshman film student. Sometimes its their catchy little jingles, sometimes it's an absurd mascot, sometimes it's an awful logo, and sometimes it's all of those things and more. Whatever the case, I think there's a lot to be said about local ads and today I want to discuss a few of my favorites. (more...)
