Judge This: No Gay Kissing On Modern Family?

I am a bit late on this story but wanted to offer a contrary viewpoint to the dominant one of the outraged blogosphere. Though I have never seen the show, I was interested in the controversy over the show Modern Family which apparently features a gay couple among its lead characters.  The controversy centers not [...]

Stunning Sand Animation

This real-time Ukrainian sand animator, Kseniya Simonva has to be seen to be believed. I’ve never seen anything like it.  She essentially tells us a story by drawing each step of its progression at a time in real time transforming the same sand into the next portion of the story.  It’s truly, truly extraordinary: Once you’ve [...]

Do You Believe In Satan?

The theologians at The View weighed in on this question last March… I’d like to ask my Christian readers especially—do you believe in Satan?  And if so, what do you think Satan is like exactly?  And why do you think what you think? Your Thoughts?

Daily Hilarity: Taylor Swift’s Saturday Night Live Monologue Song: “Monologue (lalalala)”

So on Saturday night, Taylor Swift went on SNL and performed this funny song.  I was really impressed with her comic delivery in numerous respects.   She really squeezes all the comedic juice out of a fairly by-the-numbers bit of writing: I love the great little touch at the end where she says they’re going [...]

Judge This: Derren Brown False Lesson In Mathematics For Britain

I was really irritated last night by Derren Brown’s choice to use his lottery trick on national TV in Britain to propagate fundamentally bogus mathematical thinking and to convince a group of people that their belief in their abilities to reach into the subconscious was able to generate knowledge of winning lottery ticket numbers.  It’s [...]

How Did Derren Brown Predict The Lottery?

Earlier this week, Derren Brown gave the illusion of predicting the lottery numbers before they were revealed in real time on national TV in Britain.  Here’s that original video in case you missed it: Now here is his bullshit explanation of how he did it: Why his explanation makes no sense: He took inspiration from [...]

And shows us the super-cool way he does it in this video. And don’t forget to check out his current trick (and my inspiration to go see more of his past videos) by clicking here.  The trick is that he “predicts the lottery numbers” live on TV. Your Thoughts?

Ricky Gervais, Atheism, And The Invention Of Lying

I’m really excited about The Invention of Lying, the upcoming Ricky Gervais film.  I started the script last spring online and simply couldn’t stop reading until it was done.  It was not a terribly funny read (except occasionally) but I love films which explore a thought provoking “what if” in a sufficiently thoughtful way and [...]

Feminism and Vampires

Feministing breaks down Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Twilight, and True Blood for their implicit (and explicit) views on sex.  While comparing and contrasting True Blood and Twilight, Latoya Peterson drops this tidbit, which is the first thing to make me curious to peek at Twilight (though I’m 99% sure I still won’t): In both series, [...]
