teaching money to the kidz

the real cause of the recession is that learning about money is just so damn boring. thank goodness we have ABC to pimp my 401(k). apparently, in order to appeal to the twitter generation, ABC is airing "UN-BROKE: What You Need to Know About Money." ABC describes the program as "an unconventional look at the fundamentals of everyday finance with all the facts about credit cards, mortgages, stocks and bonds, investing and 401(k)'s, in a fresh new format combining information and humor." I appreciate the use of celebrities, but I'm not sure I wanna take financial advice from Christian Slater.

Thankfully, Seth Green is there to make it awesome:

not that I won't still be seeing it, of course. Worth the price of admission for two hours of Bale. Plus, our friends at Cracked.com continue to express my exact feelings, only much funnier and with just as much crushing on Bale.

plus, just for fun, let's remember this:

ghostbusters III, original cast returning, screenplay by writers from the office?

YES PLEASE.

wow.

this is precious (formerly known as push: based on the novel by sapphire). it won the dramatic grand jury and audience award prizes at sundance this year. there is ALREADY crazy buzz for mo'nique's performance (many of the major predictors say she's a shoe-in for a best supporting actress nomination) and lee daniels' direction. i'm pretty sure it's gonna rock my top ten.

miss california unclear on the definition of "semi-nude"

first of all, miss california, die in a fire. second of all, don't make me get out a venn diagram to show the overlap between "semi-nude" and "modeling for lingerie." you wouldn't like me with a venn diagram.

physicists try to tell us that vampires couldn't exist



but, fortunately, mathematicians are there to call "bullshit!" (don't worry, economists, you get your word in, too). thank god we have people on this important academic research, but clearly nobody asked me to peer review their papers, because I would have pointed out the appalling lack of slayers in their theories.
