MasterChugs Theater: I’m with stupid

Please forgive me for this column-it was probably a lot more relevant, say, a few weeks or so ago, but I’m just now getting around to writing it. Also, this might be a fairly long rant. Not only that, there’s definitely some coarse language. My apologies in advance.

Noted movie critic Roger Ebert absolutely destroyed Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in his review of said movie. He was then assaulted by a largess of invective and contrary opinions sent his way. Some of these were well-worded.

Many were not.

In a defense (of sorts), he then wrote a piece about how it’s okay to like a bad movie, but just don’t think that it’s the greatest piece of film ever, instead looking to expand your horizons. He was still textually assaulted.

Me, I’ll just go for the throat: If you think that Michael Bay is a talented filmmaker, you are a moron. Continue reading MasterChugs Theater: I’m with stupid

Jesus has swine flu!

BREAKING NEWS: According to top Anglican church officials, Jesus Christ has contracted the H1N1 flu virus, commonly known as the swine flu.

As a precaution, the archbishops of Canterbury and York have urged all Church of England services to stop sharing the chalice containing the little dude from Galilee’s blood during communion.

When asked about His condition, J.C. responded, “This has to be the worst thing I’ve ever gone through … and if you know Me, that says a lot.”

His Father did not return our calls.

Free speech costs around 55 grand

A San Jose gamer banned for his behavior in playing Resistance wants $55,000 from Sony and a judge to tell their mods to stop banning people. Removing the ability for mods to go “STFU” is an interesting case of role reversal.

Erik Estavillo, in a complaint filed July 6, also alleges that Sony Computer Entertainment’s comprehensive ban of him from the PlayStation Network constitutes theft, in the form of deprived access to prepaid PSN currency. The pain and suffering bit comes from Estavillo’s agoraphobia, which is fear of crowds and/or open spaces-so this is, he says, his only safe way to interact with others. And, naturally, he’s kvetching about his First Amendment rights, too.

He wants $55,000 in punitive damages and an injunction against all further banning.

It seems Estavillo’s representing himself. Yeah, couldn’t have spotted that one coming, either.

In further news, SG would like to announce their new clairvoyance service. Our first prediction: not a legal win for Estavillo.

They don’t change their stripes

You may not know this, but Pittsburgh is crawling with zebras. The things are everywhere, and they have to be controlled. Luckily, Pittsburgh has had a guardian protecting them from the zebra herds that roam freely through the streets.

They have had Joe Windscheffel who also happened to play football for Pittsburgh State. But like all guardians, sometimes they have to sit down once in a while. Windscheffel was bravely moving four zebras when one charged him, bit him on the arm and refused to let him go. Luckily, others were nearby and got the zebra to let go, hopefully by force.

The guy suffered a compound arm fracture, and he will be out for the upcoming season. DAMN YOU, ZEBRAS! They always know where to strike.
