Simpsons Stamps

The United States Postal Service revealed the stamps for “The Simpsons.” I really like that they went with Matt Groening’s drawings rather than the versions that are used on the show that have been perfected. Something about the unevenness and how things are just a little “off” make it feel more comforting. What the hell am I talking about.

Dollhouse Done For

Cue the sad trombone. The numbers are in for Friday, April 3rd, and Dollhouse received its lowest ratings yet. It’s over, and I will buy everyone who reads this site a frosty treat if it gets renewed by FOX.

ShamWow Guy Looks Like McNulty

It’s already been all over the news that the ShamWow Guy (who’s real name is Vince Shlomi, but even his parents call him the ShamWow Guy) was arrested after he punched a prostitute in the face.

He must not be a fan.”
