Randy Marsh Is The True Star Of South Park

Did everyone catch South Park the other night? It says alot when Eric Cartman was not even on the whole episode. Cartman was pretty much responsible for the success of South Park in its early days of creation, but Cartman is no longer the star of the show. Randy Marsh has established himself as the best charcter on the show. Sure seasons past have hinted at the fact that Stan's dad was often under utilized, but the last two seasons have made up for it by giving the "everyman" the screen time he deserves. Ever since the masturbating in the hot tub episode, Randy has been the focus of some of the best story lines on the show. The over zelous sports parent - "uhh what are you going to do?", the guitar hero, drunk driving, local hero,  the "cheeser", and now the internet porn craver. South Park has realized they were sitting on a gold mine with Randy Marsh, and to the benefit of all of us, he has been getting more and more story lines. Lets hope this attention to the big dumb animal of a dad continues because South Park has had some of its best episodes in years keeping Randy Marsh in the plot lines.

OK I Get It There Is A Penis In Forgetting Sarah Marshall

It makes me nervous that all I am hearing about is a full frontal male nudity scene in the new Judd Apatow movie Forgetting sarah Marshall. I am a fan of most of the post-teen raunchterpieces that Apatow has made in the last couple of years, but it makes me think that this one may be kind of weak if the pre-release publicity blitz is based on the fact that Jason Segel shows his wang. Is this really the best reason they can come up with to get people to go to see the movie? Rickie Van Veen has given the movie the thumbs up, so if it is good enough for College Humor then it could possibly be good enough for me. I don find it kind of amusing that if a schlong is in a comedy movie it gets an R rating, but if it is in an arty movie, a drama, or an erotic thriller (the trashiest and often campiest of movies) the movie is NC-17. I guess the negative effect that unabashed male anatomy has on on the youth of the nation, all depends on the context it is exposed in. Makes sense huh. Defamer has a post chronicalling male nudity in honor of Segels risk as an actor. It was rumored that Segel spoke to Ewan McGregor and Harvey Kietel to get tips on perfecting the full monty. Well not really, but that would have been funny.

MTV Comes Clean About Why People Go On The Real World

• MTV
• Music Videos
• MTV Shows
• Entertainment News

The millionth season of the Real World debuted last night. I know I am a little behind on this. MTV was upfront this year and actually told the viewers that everyone was on the show to become famous via acting, singing, or celebrity journalism. Don't worry you will all be fighting for a spot on the Challenge in three months time anyway. We have our usual cast of "Real" people. The bitch, the slut, the naive southern girl, the meat head, the goofy meat head, the nice guy, and the arrogant recluse. The season looks like your typical season of them getting drunk, fighting, and cheating on a significant other. Videogum and Buddy TV have good recaps. I do have to wonder whether these reality shows know they are dangerously teatering on reckless endagerment of their cast members. MTV has put a man with obvious anger issues in a house with a stripper who has a warrant out for her arrest because of aggravated assault. Sounds like good TV, plays out as bad idea. You did hear me correct, MTV has added a stripper to the cast. Not a girl who gets drunk and takes off her clothes, but an actual stripper. My favorite quote was when the stripper said that she can't understand how people judge a person based on their job. Stripping is only a job and you should not judge someone on that. Ummm, what possibly could you judge one on, if you can't judge them based on taking their clothes off for a living. I think that says a lot about a person, and it is a perfectly good reason to be judgemental. MTV looks like they have tried to save money by renting the Big Brother house between seasons. The house this season is seriously a studio. Also does anyone else think the brown haired chick looks like Julia Allison? I wouldn't be suprised if she showed up on a Real World, she'll pretty much take any job that entails getting on camera. The Whole episode is above if you want to watch.

I Don't Buy The Abortion Art Story For a Second

UPDATE: I WAS RIGHT- IT WAS FAKE


If you haven't read the Abortion Art news story yet, you can read it here, but don't bother because people are already reporting that it is a hoax. From the minute I read this story this morning, I thought there was something fishy about it. For starters, when a women gets pregnant her physiology changes, and hormones begin to boil that were dormant before ( Like my scientific explanation of pregnancy?). The fact that this girl thinks we would belief that she could continue to get pregnant over a nine month period and have no lasting psychological or physiological side effects is crazy. Further, how do you get your hands on 1) abortifacient drugs 2) Tools to properly artificially inseminate herself so easily over and over again. I also don't understand how this girl was so successful in getting herself pregnant. I mean, I thought artificial insemination was a difficult procedure that took a lab and attention to detail. If you can get yourself pregnant continuously over a ninth period with a turkey baster, then that's news to me. To me, the most glaring hole in this project, is the fact that she completely underestimates the effects pregnancy and miscarriage has on the mind and body of a women. Not that I know, but I assume that you wouldn't be able to isolate the experience, and remove yourself from it so that it could be turned into a piece of art work. Women who get pregnant, have a miscarriage, or have an abortion, do not take it lightly. It is an experience that sticks with then and haunts them, no matter how they outwordly express it. If Aliza Shvarts did do this, she would most likely emotionally and physically burn out after the first or second miscarraige. I just don't see an artist being this non-human. I could see it possibly being true, if the artist was an outside participant and took samples from women going through miscarriages, but I can't see the women having the miscarriage as the artist. It would be too personal of an experience to be so removed from, but who knows there are some crazy people in the art world. I remember a performance art that I went to once in College that had people vomitting milk everywhere. Whatever. These days if you can sound smart arguing that something is art, then people will believe it is.

P.S- If you wonder why I have been postin without pictures, it is because the blogger network is having some kind of problem uploading pictures.

ROOTS, CMU LAWN, TONIGHT, 8 PM

For those Pittsburghers interested, The Roots are performing at CMU tonight at 8P.M. It’s free and open to everyone. Just show up on the lawn. Bring everyone. There is not a cloud in the sky right now in Pittsburgh anf the temperature is about 70, so this looks to be a pretty good time. You have to watch out for the smelly Hippie-Hop heads that the Roots draw to their live shows. These are usually white Hippie kids that smoke alot of Pot and listen to Common, The Roots, Jedi Mind Ricks, MF Doom, and Murs. They should be wearing book bags with their arms crossed. They smell and act like they deserve to be there more than you. The Roots put on an incredible live show, although if you've seen them once you know what to expect. I have seen them a bunch of times and they kind of do the same thing at every show. The good news is that what they do is quit impressive, so seeing it over and over agian is worth it.

I Wish This Was A Performance Art Hoax!!

I remember smoking pot and doing dumb stuff. Getting your dog and cat stoned tends to turn out as a disappointment. You always say look how stoned they are, but in reality you are just blazed so you think that your pet is acting different. I am all for bafoonery while you are cheifing, but smoking up your 2 and 5 year old brother is taking things way too far. Police in suburban Fort Worth, Texas, have found a videotape in a search for stolen goods that appears to show two teenagers persuading a 2-year-old boy and his 5-year-old brother to smoke marijuana. This is a story that I would have put money on taking place in Florida, but Texas gets the bizarro award today. Third-degree felony charges have been filed against the teenagers. The incident began unfolding February 22, when the Fort Worth Police Department executed a search warrant to look for stolen goods in the apartment of 17-year-old Demetris McCoy, the unemployed uncle of the two children, and 18-year-old Vanswan Polty. Among the items recovered was camera equipment. Upon looking at one of the tapes, investigators came across "a session where these two males were providing marijuana" to the youngsters. "They were essentially trying to get them high, laughing. The children are stumbling, falling around." It was not the first time the teens have done this because the children new how to hold a joint. Do we really need to give Bill O'rielly more reasons to have a show? I wish this was a hoax like the abortion art, but its not. It is just a sad example of why abortion should remain legal. Was that too much? I'm sorry this is just an insane story.
