Slaves!

Tuesday, May 2nd, 2006

Wonder Showzen is the one of the most awesome shows on television today. It follows the structure of a kids’ program like “Sesame Street” and completely turns it on its head by having some of the most scathing, subversive content on the air. It’s really amazing. The first season recently came out on DVD and the second season is currently airing on MTV2 Fridays at 9:30. There will be 3 more episodes on the air for this season. Here’s some of my favorite segments from the show:








And here are all the episodes from season 2 for download. Get ‘em quick while the links are still up: 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5.

Cockroach Resin

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

As you may have heard awhile back Michelle Rodriguez and Cynthia Watros, both on TV’s “Lost,” were arrested for drunk driving in Oahu, where the show is filmed. The Smoking Gun posted the mug shots, as well as the police report around this time. The police report wasn’t all that entertaining, but the mug shots were a real eye opener to say the least. I know photos have been posted before of celebrities without their make-up, but Cynthia Watros’ mug shot took it up a notch.

Here’s what she normally looks like, or at least how she’s presented to the public:

hot for lunchbox

And here she is after being arrested:

it's scaring the baby

Michelle Rodriguez just looked hella stoney:

hot for box

Because it was Watros’ first time getting a drunk driving rap, she got off with a fine, some hours counseling, and a 90 day suspension of her driver’s license. Rodriguez on the other hand had been previously convicted of drunk driving; and as a result the fines were harsher for her. She actually went to trial and told the judge that her behavior was influenced by steroids she had to inject to combat her allergies to “dust and cockroach resin.” Sounds like total bullshit right? Maybe just step 2 in her plan to go full butch? But then check this out, her attorney brought in a photo to show the court what she looked like pre-steroid injection:

now the baby's crying

Michelle was sentenced to 5 days in prison or 240 hours of community service. Amazingly she opted for the jail time, and today went in to begin paying back her debt to society. Stay strong Michelle.
