MasterChugs Theater: Netflix round-up

Recently, my town and the next town over were subject to flooding-level amounts of rain. While I made out pretty good and I didn’t lose power, when it’s raining constantly for 47 out of 48 hours, even when you’re on vacation, there’s not a lot to do. EXCEPT knock out your Netflix queue. Hit the jump to see some bullet reviews of four movies I watched. Continue reading MasterChugs Theater: Netflix round-up

Pope: Cadillacs are for Episcopalians

"I work too hard to deal with this stuff!! I work too hard! I'm the Holy See in charge of 1.2 billion people! I drive a Ford Focus!"

Pope Frank — who said we can call him that because he’s a man of the people, unlike anyone named Francis — has had it with priests and nuns flashing their bling, cellular telephones and flashy cars.

This announcement/guilt trip was also the Frank’s subtle way of unveiling his new interfaith outreach program with Jewish mothers.

TV has dogs on a leash

We’ve found a way to make our nation’s absurdly rich help support the War on Animals (because we all know that they won’t let their sons and daughters enlist), and they don’t even know it. The beauty is that we control the enemy at the same time.

Last year, DogTV went live in San Diego. It’s a channel specifically for dogs to watch so that they don’t get bored while their owners are at work. This is pretty much only for those with cash to burn, because you have to order the channel, and you also have to pay for your power-sucking flatscreen TV to be on all day when you’re not even using it. Now, DogTV is nationwide on DirecTV next month, because it was so popular.

So the rich burn their money, but on top of that, we are now able to fill pets’ heads with propaganda. It’s like A Clockwork Orange, but without all the physical restraints. We can bring them to our side and use them against our animal foes. Let’s get working on some scripts.
