Jack Bauer is Googles best friend

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

 When Google can’t find something, it asks Jack Bauer for help. This one is dedicated to Bean Bag Boy: Gloria Estafan was wrong; the rhythm is not going to get you. Jack Bauer is.

Prison Break Season Two

Sunday, April 22nd, 2007

Just finished watching season two of Prison Break. Looking back, there was a damn lot of action in the second season, with the con’s taking in exotic locations in the US, Canada, Mexico and Panama. The conspiracy was blown wide open, and a shadowy puppet master with a post-it note fetish was introduced. Holly Valance [...]

Jack Bauer says dammit a lot

Monday, April 2nd, 2007

I’d never really paid all that much attention to the Jack Bauer ‘Dammit’ phenomenon until I saw this YouTube video. It would seem that Jack Bauer does say ‘Dammit’ a lot. Check out Jack Bauer’s ‘best of the dammits’ clip. WPvideo 1.10 02:42

Swollen Pickles uncovers geographic location of the “Others” from Lost

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

Google analytics is a marvelous thing. This morning I decided to check out my stats for this site, and have now inadvertently determined the location of the island on “Lost”. If you watch “Lost” then you know that the “Others” have contact with the outside world via TV and air drops. So it stands to [...]

Heroes character map

Thursday, March 1st, 2007

Here is one for all the Heroes nerds. It’s a character map that shows all the various links between the characters. If you only a few episodes into the series then you may want to think twice before you open it as it may possibly contain evil *SPOLIERS*. Oh sh!t I just read something I [...]

Today Tonight chain shame

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

“As we go to air tonight this 84-year-old grandmother remains locked up in her nursing home room chained to a cupboard.” As an opening to a ‘current affairs’ story, that is one sensational attention grabber! Anna Coren, host of Channel Seven’s current affairs program ‘Today Tonight’, proves that she has slipped comfortably into the role [...]

Is ‘Lost’ in danger of getting lost up its own ass?

Friday, February 16th, 2007

I’m a long term Lost fan. I’ve been watching it since the beginning, haven’t missed an episode, yada yada yada.  Anyway, Season 3 started screening in Australia last night, so I tuned in to watch the ‘unmissable’ first 5 minutes, with the expectation that it would change my life. Alas, it did not. Sure, it [...]

Things I did not know about ‘Days of our Lives’

Monday, February 5th, 2007

As far as soap operas go, I guess they don’t come any bigger than Days of our Lives (or DOOL as web fans call it). I don’t know a great deal about DOOL, and wouldn’t really consider myself a fan. What I do know, courtesy of today’s sponser Soap.com, is that DOOL is facing an [...]

Why Channel 7 sucks the big one by Swollen Pickles

Thursday, February 1st, 2007

An hour and a half ago, Channel 7 confirmed what I had suspected for quite some time now, THEY SUCK! Why do they suck? I believe that the head honchos at Seven hold some kind of vendetta against me. They seem determined to kill off all my favorite TV shows by moving them around, seemingly [...]

Viral plasma TV ad is solid gold

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

I’ve always wanted a plasma TV but for some reason this ad from Panasonic has put me off a little. This ad is gold, and is sure to have the solid viral impact it was intended to. I liken it to watching a train crash in slow motion, you know what’s going to happen, you [...]

Diddy goes doe eyed over Biel’s boobs

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

Generally, the Golden Globes make for crap television. Self indulgent speeches interspersed with clips of the nominees and their ‘finest work’. I’m sure it’s interesting enough if you’re there and nominated to win something, but sitting back at home, it’s all a bit of a yawn really. The Golden Globes aren’t all bad though. Occassionally [...]
