Total Nonstop Action is Coming to New Jersey

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Did you know that I own two wrestling websites which are operated by two magnificent webmasters with little interference by me? Creating wrestling websites is how I got my start in the online world and I’m glad that both of my current webmasters and master of the game. The other day I was […]

Just About Done With Howard Stern

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Today begins the second straight week of vacation for Howard Stern and his Sirius Satellite Radio crew. I’m just about done with this guy and his completely ridiculous schedule. I’ve said on this blog before that Howard used to be the voice of the working man and now he works a 4-day per […]

In-Movie/Show Commercials

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Is there anything more annoying than a commercial that pops up on the bottom of your television screen while you’re watching a movie or a show? You can see this marketing debacle all over network TV, but the biggest offender these days has got to be TBS and their shameless promotion of the Bill […]

George Carlin Passes Away at 71

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

George Carlin was hilarious. Unfortunately, this comedic genius passed away on Sunday due to heart problems. This, combined with Tim Russert’s recent untimely passing, should put a new light on heart health for this country - or at least we can hope.
Anyway, I was a fan of Carlin, though I didn’t necessarily agree […]

Crappy HD Connection Sucks

Friday, May 16th, 2008

At my apartment our cable service is provided by Cablevision (which, by the way, is one of the worst companies in terms of customer service ever). As part of our television package (iO Digital), we get a bunch of high definition channels. Those of you in the tri-state area who have Cablevision probably […]

Canned TV Shows

Friday, May 16th, 2008

The New York Daily News ran a story earlier today that talked about all of the television shows that were canceled for the upcoming fall season. Reading through this list is absolutely hilarious for a bunch of reasons. For me, I like to laugh at the networks proving their stereotypes over and over […]

Downtown Asbury Park Revving Up for the Summer

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

The Asbury Park Press ran a story this morning that talked about how vendors located on Asbury Park’s Cookman Avenue were gearing up for what they believe will be a very successful summer season. From the article:
For one thing, some new stores are coming as promised to his already active 600 block. Asbury Bark, […]

Congratulations to The Biggest Loser: Ali!

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

Although this post is a few days late, I just wanted to say congratulations to this year’s winner of NBC’s The Biggest Loser: Couples - Ali! In the end I wound up rooting for Kelley, but the transformations that the three finalists went through were absolutely amazing. And an extra congratulations to […]

Bill Maher is a Scumbag

Friday, April 18th, 2008

Anyone who is unfortunate enough to watch this self-righteous loser’s show on HBO (a channel that my apartment will hopefully be canceling on May 1st), knows that Bill Maher is a jerk. He’s the type of arrogant, pompous prick who thinks that his thoughts are better than everyone else’s and that - because he’s […]

A New Howard 101 Friday Line-Up

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

Mercifully, the powers that be at Sirius Satellite Radio and the Howard Stern Channels have decided to give us a better line-up of programming on Fridays on the Howard 101 channel. Although they will still be replaying the near-unlistened-to (and unlistenable) Mastertape Theatre on Howard 100, there will be live programming on Howard 101 […]

The Definition of Pathetic

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

Microsoft is hoping to duplicate the rabid success of Nintendo’s Wii by re-creating the Wii Remote for use with XBox 360. For all of the younger gamers out there, this is exactly what Microsoft did when it took over Netscape as the top internet browser in the late 1990’s and this is how Microsoft […]

A Good Idea Gone Wrong

Sunday, April 6th, 2008

Turner Network Television spent today playing all three Lord of the Rings movies in unison with “limited commercial interruption.” For a Lord of the Rings nerd like myself, this could have been a pretty sweet event. But there are two major issues that prevent me from truly enjoying this showing.
I should note that […]
