Meryl Streep in The Pottymouth
I seem to like these clips, where a bit of profanity slips by the network censors. I guess it illustrates how harmless it is when they actually hit the airways, how pointless it is to try and camouflage them. Also, it’s funny to hear the E! censor try to bleep the word and fail so badly.
Here’s the video, from E!‘s Golden Globes post-show coverage…

Tonys 2009
I don’t usually blog about the Tonys, but because of the affiliation with Straight Guys Who Love Showtunes.com I thought I’d watch the show tonight. Here’s a screen shot from the “In Memoriam” segment.

I had intended to encode my own version of this, but I’ll let YouTube do all the work. Here’s my favorite moment of the telecast…

Quick, Get Me Video of Walter Reed! No, the Other Walter Reed!
I too kept wondering why the RNCC kept showing that mansion facade behind McCain last night. (And after ten minutes I was wondering if they could show other channels to watch.) Turns out there was a reason ... just not a very good reason. Apparently they meant to show video of Walter Reed military hospital but ended up with video of Walter Reed Middle School. You have to read this to believe it.
I wonder if this kind of half-assed web search explains their VP pick.

Horrible Goodness
Why no updates? What’s the point. How I can compete with the Internet awesomeness of this?

“This Place is a Zoo!”
This could possibly be the only TV commercial I’ve ever liked. Coincidentally, we were just talking about it while driving by the Detroit Zoo a couple weeks ago. Thanks to Schmoe for sharing the link—and to the uploader for bringing back the memories.

Rabbit Stew
I know it’s childish, but I get a kick out of when a bit of profanity slips onto the networks. I had a field day listening to the missed bleeps in Comedy Central’s Night of Too Many Stars, but here’s an excerpt from tonight’s Late Show with David Letterman:
(He’s teasing a lady in the audience who had asked him to repeat the previous night’s Top Ten list.)

Burn a CD, Save a Life
I’ve been seeing this headline on the AP wire the last couple days: “DVD in Firefighter’s Coat Blocks Bullet”.
Colleton County Fire and Rescue Director Barry McRoy says he was leaving a Waffle House restaurant in Walterboro [South Carolina] on Saturday morning when two men ran in fighting over a gun. Police say a bullet hit one of the struggling men, shattered a window and then hit McRoy.
The bullet hit a DVD McRoy was carrying in his pocket. He suffered a bruise but didn’t realize he had been shot. As he told a police officer what happened he noticed a bullet hole in his jacket, the shattered DVD case and a piece of the bullet.
One detail I was quick to notice was in the final sentence of the article. The DVD “was a gift from an employee who had recorded a TV show about fire extinguishers.” See that, MPAA? If that DVD had not been illegally copied, a man could be dead!
