Addendum, Festive Sodomy Edition
As an epilogue to my previous post:
And you know what? If you don’t like the idea of two dudes goin’ at it however they please, just start buying different pornography.
“If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn’t help the poor, either...”
– Stephen Colbert, December 16, 2010.
The fact that it takes a comedian to say this and have it be a part of the political dialogue is absolutely fucking shameful. I have known truly compassionate, Christian conservatives, and even when they were disagreeing with my liberal, democratic socialist...
Brandon Hates the Internet: IT'S A BLOG ABOUT... →
Here it is, from The Man With The Plan™ himself, said a lot better than it was by me. Brandon’s the one who initiated the whole mad idea of C!TB, and I’m very grateful to have him as a writing partner, because having a writing process that’s basically, “How can I make my friend laugh today?” is unbelievably fun and conducive towards the writing itself. A lot of our...
Just about the one way
Yesterday, I posted about Comics! The Blog, a new site I’ll be launching in January with my writing partner, Brandon. We’ll be posting our Mission Statements when we launch on January 10th, but in the meantime I wanted to talk quickly about the kind of thing we’ll be trying to avoid, which is something that I absolutely will not talk about on C!TB itself.

But the thing is, as much as I’ve enjoyed writing for cxPulp, I’ve started to feel the urge...

Internet, sometimes I wonder if I am oversharing when I go on about digital copyright or similar things, which is funny because I write remarkably few personal things here, “Don’t try this at home” being a rare exception. The reality is that even if I am boring you with my opinions about things, there are many things I say in real life that I generally consider too terrible even...
Unpopular Opinions, Vol 3 - The Smurfs' Village
I arrived at work today to find a Twitter link to an AP article in today’s Globe & Mail, “Hidden charges in iTunes game snares kids, Smurf backlash ensues”. I guess there is a popular app for iOS based on the beloved Belgian franchise The Smurfs, and it allows in-app purchases. Some parents didn’t know this and were surprised when their children spent anywhere from...
Misfits Toys, now with more corpse paint
Actual dialogue from “A Very Glee Christmas”:
Mr. Schue: This year, Glee Club is gonna lend a hand to the [Midwest mumble] Homeless Children and Youth Program right here in Lima.
Rachel: How are we gonna do that?
Mr. Schue: The only way we know how: by singin’ about it!
I fuckin’ love this show, guys.
