Conan VS Colbert VS Stewart
With the writer's strike still going on, these 3 late night comedians get creative with their feud. This is even better considering they are right after each other on TV. :)
John Stewarts Show
Steve Colbert's Show
Conan O'Brian's Show
Here is the blog with more info on the events:

No Fury Like a Gamer Scorned
First off, BWU HAHAHAHAHA .......ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.....HAHAHAHHA!
Ahem, ok heres what happened. Fox has a round table discussion show, and a Game, Mass Effect came up. Its been critically acclaimed, and has a very deep game play. Part of the game is a romance sub plot. This can involve a sex scene, that I have read is safe enough for TV. Oh well.
On the show the game was blasted for being part of the evil alliance of games that is the cancer of the electronic age. Well, in particular one of the commentators expressed how she thought the game was all about portraying women as sex objects(its not. When asked, she said she hadn't played the game.
This is where it gets funny. The commentator, one Cooper Lawrence recently wrote a book, titled The Cult of Perfection: Making Peace with Your Inner Overachiever, this happens to be sold on Amazon.com, and well... gamers tend to internet connection. Her book's rating has tanked... badly. A lot of 1 stars, about 400+ out of 470... Yeah...
Recently she actually watched a few hours of the game, and realized that it isn't Porn, which someone had told her it was. Oh well, damage done. Here is some articles about it. The first one is from a gaming site, and came out first, the second is from Time, and has her paradigm shift. TV commentary is fast, and a bit knee jerk, but my cynism does come through on this.

Hulu.com
For anyone looking over this small section of the internet, you will notice the high amount of video files coming from Hulu.com. This a website that is a joint venture between NBC, Fox, and others to digitally distribute their works. To fund this they have placed a few commercials in the show, but at a much reduced rate compared to watching it on TV(30 secs. compared to 3 min). After watching the commercials you are able to rewind, or go forward to any spot in that segment. I have been impressed with this service and hope that it will become more popular, and thus receive greater amount of items.
I am also using this site for my links, because I believe these links will be more permenant, than say youtube links, which might be deleted due to copyright issues. So enjoy the videos, and hop over to Hulu.com if you have some time to kill.

Firefly Collection from Hulu.com
Firefly was a TV series that only had 1 season on Fox in 2002. Even though it was canceled, the fans of the show raised enough buzz about it, for it to gain the support to have a movie produced from it. I have heard it described as a space western, for lack of a better term. It has action, humor, space age technology, and drama. All in all, I have liked this show.
I was introduced to this series recently by a friend and enjoyed it. Fortunately, the powers that be, allowed it to be included into Hulu.com's lineup, and from that I have assembled this collection. Since it is from Hulu, it is a legal online video, though a few commercials are added to the footage. Though, after watching these online, I do say that I am now looking to purchase these DVD's, to at least have a high quality, and commercial free selection. Anywho, here is a taste of the show.

Young Chuck Norris Clip from SNL
What is a good blog, without at least 1 Chuck Norris reference?
Here is a skit from SNL, that happened to be the first thing I watched on Hulu.com(and hopefully if I mention Hulu.com enough, Hulu.com will reward me in a such a way that will be in line with the excellent service I have so far seen from that great website that everyone should join, Hulu.com)
