This is not a show I immediately loved, revered or even liked. It was more like a curiosity, a pig fetus in a jar of embalming fluid. Something I wished to understand and appreciate. If the Church of the SubGenius had produced a television show, I am certain it would resemble The Venture Bros. Huh? You lost me. Exactly. When you have graduated from the community college level of pop culture trivia via The Family Guy , only then are you eligible to enter into the graduate school of all... Read Full Story

With all the power that social media has to drive traffic, doesn’t it make sense that they should put more emphasis on driving traffic to stories that inform about issues and offer ways for people to help?  On the surface, the question seems like a no-brainer, but as we explored the subject further and discussed it with other users, challenges started popping up. Charity has never been a strong point of social media.  The concept that drives most of these sites is that they display... Read Full Story

With the air becoming crisp, and the color of the leaves changing, we realize that October is once again upon us and Halloween is right around the corner! So why does Halloween warrant it’s own article? Simple… Halloween really is a special time for most people who are far removed from the days where they didn’t have to worry about acting their age. Halloween allows all the corporate drones to unleash their “Id” (as in Freud’s Id) for one night a year. Halloween allows the frumpy... Read Full Story

This is a guest post by Claudia - worth a read! I joined Digg in March this year, tempted by the chance to promote my site through it. I didn’t wait to see how it worked and started submitting some articles, but soon felt that there was no space for such kind of things and quit submitting. I dugg a lot instead, because you all know how it can be addictive. I found some interesting links to contents and some other less interesting. Some were frankly lame and useless. Then I was...

Reddit is one of the top social news websites. It allows members to vote up or down news, pictures, videos and other media. Webpages voted to the frontpage generally see over 10,000 visitors within the span of a day. Being ‘hot’ on Reddit will likely cause the page to go viral, causing other social news sites to pick it up. A small portion of visitors from Reddit are likely to become RSS subscribers and even buyers. You can easily see why web marketers would love to get their pages ‘hot... Read Full Story

Enter 2008, New York City. The streets are dirty, the people are jaded, and I’m annoyed by the ridiculous blue camera filter! (Come on guys, the whole Matrix filter effect thing is a little overdone!) That being said, ABC’s new gritty, time-warped, existential crime drama , Life on Mars , hit the ground running. The main character, Sam Tyler ( Jason O’Mara ) is thrown into 1973 after a beautifully filmed ‘hit and run’ leaves him face down on the pavement literally 6 minutes and 15... Read Full Story

The season finale of Showtime ’s Dexter got me HOT it was so good and I’m still thinking about it.  For those of you who know the show, you no doubt share my wet predicament, and for those of you who do not know the show, you’re missin’ out kids!  Now that I can reflect on the whole season, let’s digest, shall we? As much as I would love to expand on each and every characters goodies this season, the entire cast is so damn good in every season that I would rather focus on the biggest guest... Read Full Story

As has been the growing trend with Halloween , more and more girls dress like sluts . It seems like Halloween has turned into the mecca of all slut conventions, letting females from all walks-of-life release their inner slut to the world. It is in my professional opinion that all females have a tendency to be more on the sultry/seductive side, but society only allows them to really “let their hair down” in this respect, once a year for Halloween . In my quest to prove myself right, and have... Read Full Story
