Can’t keep that red, orange, yellow, blue, green scale of alert levels straight? Maybe the Homeland Insecurity Scare Bear Index would work better for you!

Haven’t taken the time to keep up with Blogwhore II, the Revenge of the Blogwhore? Well now you can get the Cliff Notes version courtesy of Philo, appropriately named Whores Gone Wild: Blogwhore 2. Come on, you know you want the scoop… [via Solonor, but don’t tell Philo I didn’t read it on his blog first!]

Driving down I-45, I spotted a billboard out of the corner of my eye. “Jesus was a Vegetarian.” What? Say what? Huh? It was enough to make me look again and read the fine print, “Show your support for all of God’s creatures – follow Him.” Maybe I missed the news flash, but I don’t remember anything in the Bible ever stating that Jesus was a vegetarian. He was Jewish so he didn’t eat pork, but a vegetarian? Hmmm…

Yes, this new campaign has been brought to a billboard near you courtesy of PETA. You can check it out for yourself at JesusVeg.com.

“Blessed are the merciful. Go Vegetarian.” Now I’ve seen it all…

Normally I just laugh at infomercials. The pot with the strainer lid? I would probably scald my arms trying to use it. Darren’s Dance Grooves? I would never go for it. But the Chef Wizard? I was *this close* (pinchy finger gesture) to picking up the phone and ordering it.

P.T. Barnum was right – I guess there really is a sucker born every minute. Have you ever bought anything from the TV infomercials?

First Mike tried to turn on Cartoon Network, but it only took me 3 seconds to comment on how that needed to go. Then we watched “Iron Chef”, which was fine. But when it was over there wasn’t a lot to choose from. He tried “South Park”, which got the same reaction as Cartoon Network. Then it was “Blazing Saddles” which had this gross fart scene – and I just had to turn it. He handed me the Tivo remote, and I changed it to Robocop. I mean, if I’m going to watch bad TV, at least it can be good, right? Know what I discovered? The asshole doctor on ER, Romano, is one of the crooks in Robocop! Isn’t it amusing when you see people that are more famous today in the roles they aren’t known for? He was also in “Fame”, so now I’m going to have to watch that again just to find him in the film!

Edited: Eww! I forgot! Paul McClane’s character in Robocop is the one whose skin melts off. He has the same look on his face as he did when Romano’s arm was cut off by the helicopter in ER. Ewwww…
