To those who have made it thru the movie The Polar Express and survived the absolute spookiness that is the Uncanny Valley…
Thanks to my co-worker Michael, I present the scariest piece of computer enhanced video to date.
Presenting an exercise video unlike any you have ever seen.
Aiiigh!
If it wasn’t bad enough, this season I watched my first almost reality show.
This is Comedy Central’s animated reality show. And last night’s had to be the best to date. I can only say, this… “Bleh” 🙂
But last night… things got worse… very worse.
Hello. My name is Andrei and I am watching a reality show.
Sherwood Schwartz, he who brought us The Brady Bunch has returned to a classic.
Gilligan’s Island not only lives again, but is a reality show.
Welcome to TBS’s “The Real Gilligan’s Island”
A nationwide search went off to find a skipper & first mate, a millionaire couple, a movie star, *ahem* and the rest. The guidelines were simple, you had to actually be the role and then on top of that, you had to sorta look the part.
They found not one set, but two. And then (and I have no idea why this was a surprise to the folks) the show marooned them on an island. The island (in an unannounced location, much like the Prisoner) has a layout strikingly similar to the original show. Huts were pre fashioned along with some ‘coco-technology’ innovated from the show.
The two sets in the early games were pitted against their match (professor vs professor) to complete a task, assisted by their team-mates to determine who the real one would be. (The real professor) The show did an excellent job of casting the roles (at least in my opinion for one team). Supermodel Rachel Hunter is the “Ginger” for one of the teams.
The show also touches on such old age old debates as “Ginger vs. Marianne”. On the other hand.. it is a reality show. Complete with endurance races and personality squabbles (openly gay character vs. bigot) the show immediately and effectively manipulates the viewer to pick sides and preferences.
Contrived, but a fun throwback. I am so sadly hooked.

I was not expecting a lot from this meme. Even as I answered the questions… which were the ones I thought the meme should ask… I felt trepidation. The results however, I am pleased with.
There are a couple of people on my friends list that I’d love to see how their answers come out. Such is a meme 🙂

I found this one through Blogdex . For those that haven’t come in contact with blogdex, the site ties itself to as many journals as are registered to it. It then lists links that have popped on the most journals.
Today, I have the dubious honour of commenting on the newest off-off Broadway innovation:
“It’s Karate, Kid!” The Musical
Featuring 20 ferocious new songs including
The description tells us:
…this KID chops through an orgy of drug-fueled excess and sexual perversion to win the gold!
I think this picture really sums up my hopes and opinions about the potential of the musical.
Exercise Guru Richard Simmons unlike you thought you’d ever see him making an appearance (of all places) on “Who’s line is it anyway”
I am disturbed. Whether this is in a good way or a bad way remains to be seen.
Edit: Corrected late night typo.
