I haven’t talked about the EFF in awhile. They’ve recently put up an article mocking those that are overly aggressive in asserting their copyrights and trademarks. No one seems to care about fair use anymore. YouTube is where most of these bogus takedowns occur. What seems most troubling to me is the use of takedowns and lawsuits to stifle free speech. Read the article for more information.

Okay…I know. I’m a couple of weeks late on this, but I’m finally caught up with The Office. This clip is a very funny spoof of the JK Wedding Dance. For those that haven’t seen it, enjoy!

Terrence “Mount” Cody saved Alabama’s season (& my heart) yesterday with 2 fourth quarter field goal blocks. Tennessee’s interior line simply could not block Cody and his 355 pound frame. Hopefully, ‘Bama won’t need heroics like this every week to win. I’m not sure if I can take it.

There is always a lot going on in the world. However, this decade has seemed particularly eventful. During times like these, public figures that are really annoying pop up every other day. Here is the top 5 that annoy me the most as of today.

1. Joe “You Lie” Wilson – This is the halfwit from South Carolina that thought he’d tell Obama what he thought about healthcare reform…in the middle of a nationally televised speech. The only problem is that he ended up further alienating the GOP. People like him never seem to understand that you can’t win people over by being a jerk.
2. Sarah Palin – Not since Paris Hilton has someone who’s done less, become more accidentally famous. She single-handedly derailed John McCain’s presidential campaign. While I was in the voting booth, it came down to the two VP candidates to help me decide where to place my vote. If Obama or McCain were to die, who would I want running the country? My vote then became quite clear.
3. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad – This tyrant is going to end up serving indefinitely as Iran’s president, mark my words. He and his “Revolutionary Guards” are going to end up making a figure head out of the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini. Iran’s population will then be worse off (if that’s possible).
4. Michael Moore – It’s not that I am completely in disagreement with some of his views. It’s just that his tactics laugh in the face of journalistic integrity. When you lie and falsify evidence in your documentaries, you become the same self-righteous fool you’re supposedly against.
5. Henry McMaster – Sorry South Carolina, but you all need to clean house. This guy thought he’d sue Craigslist over the adult sections of their website. The only problem is, shield laws keep Craigslist from any liability in the matter. Once Craigslist sued him to keep from being prosecuted, he dropped the charges and declared victory. I have no words.

I look forward to your comments.

I just finished watching Observe and Report starring Seth Rogen. I really wanted to like this movie. I thought it would be the perfect edgy, offbeat comedy I usually love. And it was to some degree.

What didn’t work for me was the frequent and jarring change in tone throughout the movie. One moment, it was building up to a comedic payoff, only to switch to a sad character study the next.

Seth Rogen is a very talented actor whose comedy I very much enjoy. Unfortunately, even he couldn’t tie the disparate parts of this movie together. On the bright side, I found Aziz Ansari to be quite funny in his bit role. The Parks & Recreations star has been a favorite of mine since he had a short lived part on Scrubs.

I have no doubt Seth Rogen will make more great movies. However, this won’t be one of my personal favorites.

I really dig this song, and I found this on YouTube. I know, hardcore fans have probably already seen it.
