I gripe about our AVC commentators a bunch; they tend to be bitchy and dismissive, and far too prone to judging anyone female we interview based entirely on how fuckable (or how, in their probably-rarely-getting-laid opinion, non-fuck-worthy) she is. But sometimes they ticklethe hell out of me. Take today, when Scott posted an "I Watched This On Purpose" column about the terrible 2007 Halle ...
...? Just plain creepy.) Numb3rs lacked awesome this week, but next week is the sweeps episode, so I'm sure it's going to be good. I've been watchingfootball on CBS all day (Dad prefers CBS commentators to the ones on FOX), and I keep seeing CSI:NY that make me laugh. This week is going to be an awesome TV week. I get to skip Statistics tomorrow because I have a doctors appointment! It ...
... 24-hour news cycle they rush into anything they can find,” said Mr. Mirvish, 40. Mr. Gorlin, 39, argued that Eisenstadt was no more of a joke than half the bloggers or political commentators on the Internet or television. An MSNBC spokesman, Jeremy Gaines, explained the network’s misstep by saying someone in the newsroom received the Palin item in an e-mail message from a colleague and assumed ...
Johann Hari writes of Obama's chance to end the Star Wars programme: One of Obama's first choices will bewhether to bring to an end one of the strangest episodes in American political history. This is the tale of how a man with Alzheimer's Disease came up with a physically impossiblefantasy based on a B-movie he once starred in – and how the US spent $160bn trying to make it come true. ...
Keith Olbermann on Prop 8. I have no idea what his standing is in the world of commentators, but I...cannotunderstand people who wouldn't be touched by this. It's not even what he said, although that helps, but how he said it. Just as I don't understand why people would deny other people personal happiness because they're not comfortable with it for whatever reason. But I digress. It is, after...
...of @NY, a ground-breakinge-mail newsletter that documented the rise and fall of the new media scene in New York's "Silicon Alley". Since then he has distinguished himself as one of the saner commentators on the growth of the new conversational media and the companies behind the services so many us use daily. Screenshot from NBALive 08, AP Barack Obama was among the first to put election ads in ...
... truth of eighteenth-century Hawaiian culture--and obscured both that and the truth of Cookhimself. In both cases, what Cohn and Obeyeskere are principally talking about is the way that European commentators, scholarly and otherwise, chose stories--myths, in Obeyeskere's phrasing--that they wished to be true, and folded, spindled, and mutilated their source material until it seemed to be telling ...
...life and current objections) You can feel like an absolute plonker spending hours of your day talking to someone who doesn't talk back, or parroting back every early Ah-Goooo and Gah. I'm sure radio commentators make a much more natural transition to this aspect of parenthood, but for me keeping up a steady stream of bright chatter was more of an adjustment. (In fact, I've been assessing the cost-...
do NFL refs seem to hate the Chargers this season? I mean, there was the Hochuli call against the Broncos in game two. And since then there has been multiple obvious bad calls, that even the commentators agree with (like the challenge and PI call in the Saints game). And today there was a straight ridiculous call in the final seconds of the game, when they called another PI call that put the ...
...up a shot fromt he distance. Maybe a cross would have been the betetr option. On the other hand...oh, whatever. AH!!!!! Wah!!!! Cristiano with a brilliant, brilliant run into the penalty area. As the commentators point out: He could have gone down their anytime as he was constantly shoved and pulled but he stayed on his feet and managed to cross it but nah. Damn it all to fucking hell. Arse with...
