The Science of Comments

For the past few weeks, our sociologists, scientists and surgeon general's have been researching the reasons behind the non-posting of comments on this site. Here are the major answers they got to the question, Why don't you comment?:

1. Because commenting is for losers.
2. Because I’m lame and no one will ever care about anything I have to say.
3 .Because I have better things to do and am wondering why I’m even here in the first place.
4. Because I don’t know how to.
5. Because I’m an automated response cyborg and can’t see the code I have to type in.
6. I do comment! I just always forget to press SUBMIT
7. Because if I have anything to say, I’ll say it privately. I don’t need the whole world to know.
8. Because I’m pretty sure the whole world doesn’t visit this site, so it’s rather pointless.
9. Because I’m not even here, I don’t know this exists. And this sentence is a paradox in itself, it’ll probably soon disappear in a puff of logic.
10- Because I’m afraid if I comment people will call me names. Or say I don’t make sense.
11. Because I only comment about things I care about, like thanking people for the add on MySpace.
12. Because it’s againt my beliefs.
13. Because I like to pretend I don’t exist.
14. Because I don’t have the time.
15. Because even if I had the time, I’d feel like I was wasting it.

What google finds funny

It seems like a rather narcissistic thing to go about doing, to Google yourself. Although I must admit that entering "YOUR FIRST NAME HERE is" produces some interesting results. Go, do it. I'll wait.

Now that you're back, and found you are "a large handsome man with boyish looks" or "looking for a date in South Philly", I present to you what the Almighty Google has to say about the popularity of some of my (my) favorite comedians.

(I had every intention of ordering them in some way or another, but I found randomness is the true meaning of life. That, and it was just too much damn trouble. So deal with it. Although I did manage to place Tina Fey at the very top)...

Funky Brewster

My friend from This Way Goes The Chinese sent me, or rather, posted on my "wall" (or is it "my wall", or "my" wall) this:

It's very cool and funky, full of funk and junk in the trunk

Random oredered nonsense

I can't write because I'm tired, and I can't be tired because I write. Or is it the other way around?
it's hard to tell at this stage.

This stage is to the left, by the way.

Saucy songbird and a series of sizzling nothingness

Roughly, it's worthless at a billion dollars

2 for 1 special! It's funny and informative!

A bit of the old corporate hypocrisy...

No funny business, just yet

The blockbusters of 2009 are sitting unwritten. That’s an economic factor I’ve never seen reported in all of this. The next installments of Spider-Man, Harry Potter, and every other movie franchise are unwritten and unproducible until the strike is over.

If I were a theater chain, I’d be worried. If I were Wal-Mart, I’d demand answers. If I were a shareholder, I’d demand blood. The AMPTP’s refusal to return to the bargaining table is costing more than jobs, and will keep hurting the studios well into 2009 unless they get back to negotiating.

Sorry for the prolongued unfunnyness...

But you MUST see this. Look. Listen. Understand.



Up Next: Something moderately funny. Because this is the Internets, I get to write.

Fight the power

No funny business.

Civil disobedience is cool, and so is Nikki Finke.

Here's a snippet from her latest on the strike:

Jeez, it suddenly occurred to me that the next weeks and months will be a wonderful time for tourists from around the world to travel to Los Angeles and see celebrities in their new natural habitat: the picket line. Maybe an uptick in tourism dollars could make up for the inevitable downturn in the city's economy as Hollywood production goes increasingly dark. I'm not clever enough to come up with a new slogan. But I bet you are. More, here

John August, a screenwriter is also keeping everyone updated here. And here's a snippet from him:

I don’t know but I been told,
Sumner Redstone’s made of gold.
Makes his money off our sweat,
Won’t pay us for internet.

I don’t know but some folk say,
Paramount is late to pay.
Why we marching at this gate?
We got screwed in ‘88.

Keep it up writers, stick it to the man
Up next: Probably a re-run or a reality blog of some sort

If The Strokes went on strike, would they be The Strikes?

Apparently Hollywood writers have gone on strike as of today. They demand more money from the DVD and online sales of the shows and movies they've written. I happen to think it's only fair. After all, without the writers we would have
