Folks, we’re gonna take a break from the movie talk for just a bit here in order to highlight a basic cable darling that doesn’t get nearly as much praise as it should.
It’s not Breaking Bad.
It’s not Franklin & Bash.
It’s not Burn Notice.
The show is It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, and kids, you’re looking at potentially the funniest show on television right now. Continue reading MasterChugs Theater: The Gang Manages to Solve TV
Eight Amish men, who didn’t think things through before going all religiousy, have been sent to jail in Kentucky for failing to put an orange reflective warning sign on the back of their horse-drawn buggies. The men failed to comply with the road safety law and refused to pay their fines, saying to even do that would violate their prohibition against bright colors or man-made symbols.
For sticking to their faith, they have been rewarded by their God with brightly-colored jumpsuits, cable television, free internet and phone calls and butt sex.

Here at SG HQ, we do our fair share making fun of the state of Alabama. This is partially done because the state has a rather colorful (though certain citizens of the state may want to use another description) history and partially because it’s where Guy Rick Snee lives. Since the Guys believe in democracy, and the majority of them live in Virginia, Alabama gets the brunt of our humor. However, for longtime residents of Virginia, there’s always been another state that’s been viewed in a less than culturally positive light: West Virginia.
Green Bank is part of a section in the United States where wireless is banned. People who claim to suffer from Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity, a “disease” that the World Health Organization does not recognize as a medical problem, have slowly but surely been moving to the town for years now. As a radio blackout zone, “sufferers/citizens” don’t have to contend with problems that they thought were related to their made-up disease. One such problem for a woman before she moved to Green Bank resulted in her living in a cage:
To alleviate the pain, her husband built an insulated living space known as a Faraday Cage. He covered a wooden frame with two layers of wire mesh and a door that could be sealed shut to prevent radio waves from entering.
Oh wait, that was the solution? Lady, your husband’s not a doctor, he’s a potential serial killer.
England, first we loved them, then we hated them so much we broke off from them, then we saved their asses in World War II and they joined us in the invasion of Iraq a few years ago. But now, we’re not really sure where they stand, after charging a man with public indecency just because he was pooping on a dead hedgehog by the side of the road.
Victor Ford, 34, was pooping on a dead hedgehog in Spalding, England on the side of the road when a bobby came by and saw what he was doing. He was sending a message to our animals foes in terms they would all but certainly understand, but the wanker constabulary didn’t see it that way.
Here was his defense in court this week:
“When you’ve got to go, you’ve got to go,” said Victor Ford.
