Can We Talk About Lawyer Mike?
Hardwick hasn’t noticed him. Neither has Daniel Tosh. He hasn’t been on the Daily What or Best Week Ever.
They’ve all missed the boat on Lawyer Mike, the Knoxville-based personal injury attorney… and rapper.

Webcomic Webcomic: A Look Into the Past
We found Justin Hall through his hand-drawn rage comics on Reddit. Now he’s drawing webcomics about webcomics for Slacktory.
Some day we’ll look back at these, and that’s when we’ll finally laugh at them.

I Feel Small and Confused About Facebook Being Worth $100 Billion
So Facebook is likely to go public next year at a $100 billion valuation. And this is the moment I became a grandpa who didn’t understand anything, because I can’t wrap my head around how a company made of people sitting at computers might be worth three times as much as, say, General Motors, a company that makes fuckin’ cars, with machines and factories and tools.
Facebook would be bigger than Disney, which makes movies and TV and has a fleet of theme parks with rides that could sometimes kill you. It’d be bigger than Amazon, which has warehouses full of stuff to ship.

The + in Google+ Interviews for a New Job
Mr. *: So why don’t you tell me a little bit about yourself? You’re not the type of glyph we usually see around here. Why the transition into publishing?
Mr. +: Well, first off, thanks for the opportunity to meet with you today. So… my current position is just not quite panning out. And now I see I was made for, well, work like what you guys are doing.
I was a huge nerd in high school. I wanted to be one of the guys in the woods behind the bleachers, carved into a tree declaring “Ryan + Tiffany 4 Eva”. No such luck, all I ever did was math—well, I also dabbled in computer programming.
Mr. *: I know what you mean, we can’t all work between the “y” and the “s” in Macy’s! I’m an asterisk, not a star! Heh heh. Ahem. So, can you give me a bit more of your background? What were you doing before your current job?

Hate Mail for Our Fox News Pepper Spray Petition
As of this morning, over 30,000 people have signed my petition asking Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly to eat pepper spray on TV to prove her point that it’s “a food product, essentially.”
I’m so proud of the internet for getting behind something that probably won’t happen and will really just make us snicker and remember that certain TV news channels don’t give a damn about what words actually mean.
I’m also proud of everyone who wrote me hate mail!

Republican Candidates by Meme
After the Family Forum’s ridiculous hugfest of a debate, I’ve finally come up with an explanation of the candidates sufficiently in keeping with the ongoing Republican theme of being caricatures. What follows is that explanation.

Petition Fox News Anchor Megyn Kelly to Eat Pepper Spray on TV
Yesterday, Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly told Bill O’Reilly that police pepper spray, like the spray used on the UC Davis student protestors, is “a food product, essentially”. (Video below.)
So I’m petitioning Ms. Kelly to eat or drink a full dose of pepper spray and broadcast it on Fox News.

Sensible Digital Cinema: A Funny Web Show About… Digital Video Cameras
It’s not, like, NBC-sitcom-ready, it’s just very funny for a set of prosumer camera ads. These guys (from the Australian film equipment rental company Inspiration Studios) make the kind of meta-jokes that filmmakers can doubly appreciate. They pull off schticks like the “monotone actor” painlessly.
