Oooh.. that eyeliner joke was awesome. Nearly Day Today material.

If he's going to be pedantic, he should know those aren't Venn diagrams (those by definition have to show ALL possible combinations of sets) but a Euler diagram.

I see the Benny Hill cult is still alive and fondling.

"Father, could you help an old altar boy?"

I think even cat stories have stopped appearing on Digg.

So.. tuna aren't round and tin-shaped? I don't believe it.

In the fantasy world that media like E! Entertainment likes to present, these people ARE incredibly important and beautiful. Award shows are the pinnacle of existence, where these god-like transcended people come together to celebrate and worship eachother and their fashion designers. The Red Carpet is the last place that mere mortals can interview them before they ascend into the Award Show.

And then Ricky Gervais steps in and reminds us that these are just people, and probably people that are a bit bored and drunk after sitting through speeches for 2 hours in a dress that's uncomfortable.

Awards shows are mindless Hollywood circle jerks. For four hours, rich people come to the stage to thank God and a selection of contractually stipulated names, intertwined with brief sections of other rich people reading bad jokes from an autocue.

Now, I'm not entirely sure WHY they hired Ricky Gervais, but he did a good job making it enjoyable. And I guess it got the Golden Globes some awesome publicity and buzz.

But is it numberwang?

That's one of those weird things that's REALLY hard to explain to a computer illiterate. Is there REALLY some system in what things you should click or double click? Click on folders in tree view to expand them. Double click on folders in the main view to open them. Try explaning that! Double click on items on the desktop. Single click on similar looking things in the browser...

Computers simply aren't that user friendly. They require you to find things out on your own. This is probably where the largest amount of fail comes from: computer illiterate people do not know how to find out things. Or rather, the easiest way they found was to call YOU, instead of doing a quick Google search or reading the manual.

Most of the time, when I help someone fix their "e-mail" that "bas become slow", I don't know what to do beforehand. No matter how many times I explain that I simply searched Google to find a solution, they still look at me like I just made it all up myself and think I know everything about every stupid piece of software.

Another thing. Norton PREYS on these people. Everyone I ever helped has that crapware installed, and you have to buy a new version every year. It does nothing but clog up the system with warnings about how EVERYTHING is just a disaster waiting to happen. WAIT! DO NOT SEND THAT EMAIL! THEY WILL STEAL YOUR BANK ACCOUNTS AND KIDNAP YOUR CHILDREN! PAY US! PAY US!

I never understood this side of sports. If I were an awesome athlete or coach I wouldn't ever talk to the media. Why would I? Their vacuous questions and dickery isn't interesting nor is it helpful to ANYONE. And now this guy is told to fall in line? Or fucking What?! Fuck off.


There's a board with sponsor's names behind them. I think that's the sole reason these interviews exist.

Richard Castle? Is that like the Garth Marenghi of romance?

Hey, and welcome back Andy Richter too.
