Today is September 11 – in case you’d forgotten, in which event you must not be a Patriot (today is also Patriot Day) – the 8th anniversary of a certain event that changed the course of modern history. Of course, no horrifying act of death and destruction is beyond the purview of advertisers constantly looking [...]

Our buddy Luke over at King Kong Millions has reached back through the archives of TV history to find interviews with famous people that didn’t go quite as well as planned. Presumably we’ve all seen the infamous James Brown interview by now, and we came up with at least one notable omission (after the jump) [...]

We’re somewhat obsessed with pretty video art, even when said art is enabled by an evil corporation. That’s why we have no qualms about ogling the stunning results produced when a huge company throws buckets of money at a talented director or ad agency.

So naturally, they’ve become more aware, more camera-savvy. To balance this out, the producers [...]

The staff at CollegeHumor will be the subjects of MTV’s newest reality show, Editor-in-Chief Ricky Van Veen confirms. I’m praying the smart and hilarious group will put the final nail in The Hills coffin; a coffin constructed entirely of out of backlash and veneers. They’ve got more city-savvy than Whitney Port, more ironic [...]

With Plaxico Burress garnering a bit of unwanted attention lately for shooting himself in an Upper West Side salsa club (give the man a break, we’ve all wanted to bring a concealed weapon into the Loehmann’s on 74th once or thrice), let’s turn our attention to smarter players and their talent for deliberately courting the [...]
