Rammstein Gets Hardcore

Literally.
If you like the combination of black leather, German bands, pornography and the objectification of women (and really, is there a better combo to be had anywhere?) you’ll love the video for “Pussy,” the new single from the German band Rammstein.
I even like the song.  Much of it is sung in German, which I don’t [...]

The Horrible Hackiness of Seth MacFarlane

“Seth and Alex’s Almost Live Comedy Show”: not live, not comedy.  Just a whole lot of suck.

The Simpsons Executive Producer Al Jean Drops Marge Simpson Bombshell

Also mentions upcoming scavenger hunt and special guests, too
