All Star Family Fortunes aka Family Feud
Well in Canada and the U.S. this show is called Family Feud.
Like the British usually do they changed the name of game and classed up the show a bit.
Here is a clip of Family Fortunes.
It hurts too laugh so much.
The cute guys didn't hurt though.
I checked the produce department at the grocery store and they never heard of
Les Beans.
Okay here is another funny youtube find.
This is a PSA for the Honey Bees.
Next up gross, funny, but gross.
I didn't think this was really possible.
Lastly trapped in an elevator.
This man was trapped in an elevator in NYC for over forty hours.
The time lapse camera caught it all.
Good thing he wasn't claustrophobic.

Sony Bravia Bunnies
Way back in November last year I published some commercials for the Sony Bravia television.
The first was a whole bunch of bouncing balls.
The second involved a lot of paint.
If you don't remember them click here.....
There back.
This time there is a whole bunch of bunnies and play-doh.
I wasn't really feeling it, that was until, we neared the end.
Enjoy.

Saturday Night Live - Iran So Far
I'm back, once again it seems like I have left this blog unattended for almost a month. It's a good thing winter is coming, I'll be spending more time inside on the computer.
This past Saturday evening saw the season premiere of Saturday Night Live.
Overall it wasn't too bad of a show but the standout clip, once again, was the digital short.
Last year they brought us "Dick In A Box" and the year before that it was "Natalie Portman Raps" and the short that started it all "Lazy Sunday".
This years?
Iran So Far.
Staring Adam Levine of Maroon 5, Adam Sanberg, and of course a dead on impression of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad President of Iran.
(Iran, the country according to their President, that does not have any homosexuals. Probably because they kill them....)
It may just be my warped sense of humour but I still can't stop laughing.
Watch it while you can....
Youtube loves to pull these down quickly.
In Case your interested here are the other videos.

Natalie Portman Raps

Britney Spears - VMA's

So just about every blog on the planet is discussing (trashing) Britney's performance last night on the MTV Video Music Awards.
Yeah, it wasn't so good.
A lot of the site's are commenting on how "huge" Brit looked.
Now lets keep in mind the woman has had two children within less than three years.
Here is a couple of pic's from last night.


First thing, the girl is not huge or even slightly over weight.
I guess the fact she doesn't look anorexic makes her fat.
This is why so many young woman and men are growing up with unrealistic body images in our countries.
She longs pretty damn fine to me.
You be the judge.
Your comments are appreciated.

Britain's Got Talent - Paul Potts
Last week I posted a clip of six year oldConnie Talbot from the show Britain's Got Talent.
Today I stumbled across a clip of Paul Potts.
Apparently Paul sells cell phones for living in Cardiff and Paul wants to sing Opera.
It's another feel good clip.
There is something about watching a person who has a natural talent and doesn't realize how good they really are.
Now if the American version of this show was done half as well as the original I would probably watch. I think the judges on this version are much more watchable than their American counterparts.
I was also surprised at who well the audience accepted and enjoyed Opera music. I wonder how it would have gone over here in North America.
After doing a bit more research it turns out that the final of the show has already aired.
Any guesses as to who were the finalists?
It's Paul vs. Connie.
First up Paul Potts singing Nessun Dorma.
Second it's Connie Talbot singing Over the rainbow.
Is it just me or didn't you always think that song was called "somewhere over the rainbow"?
And the winner is.....
Paul Potts.
His next performance will be before the Queen.

Here is a safe sex video that might actually have an effect on the people its trying to help.
Be warned it may not be for everyone.
It's fairly tame, but could be NSFW (not safe for work) for some people.

Rosie O'Donnell and Elizabeth
I really enjoy the View, but the biggest complaint I hear from people is that they hate the way the hosts fight and talk over each other.
This is a clip of todays show, arguably the best fight they have had this year.
Rosie is planning on going out with a bang.
The split screen is a nice touch.
Here is another clip of wild animals fighting taken by amateur camera people.
I can see the similarities between the two.
Thanks to Towleroad.

Madonna's H&M Commercial
I love anything Madonna. Here is her new commercial for H&M Clothing. Just because she hasn't made enough money yet Madonna has designed some clothing. Its a bit odd the first time round, but after a couple of viewings I see the charm.
Check out the H&M web site the Madonna collection has some fantastic graphics.

American Idol Season 6 and the Antonella Barba Controversy

As the week comes to an end I felt the need to talk about American Idol.
I'm not going to start posting regularly on Idol even though I'm completely addicted to the show, but an occasional update can't hurt.
The season has started off as usual, me arguing with Mark about whether or not we are going to watch the show together live or if I'm going to watch it later on the PVR. I will give him credit, Mark sat through most of the "bad" auditions with little or not complaints.
Now were up to the good parts of the show, the live performances.
I want to start with the new "scandal" and get it out of the way.
Mostly because I can't stand the woman.
I don't know what it is the rubs me the wrong way about her, but I have not liked her from the moment she stepped on stage.
Maybe because I went to school with an Antonella and I don't have fond memories of her, or it could be something else, I just don't know.

I will post some links to some pictures that have surfaced of Antonella Barba and you can decide for yourself if she should be sent packing.
Even though I can't wait to see here get voted off the show, I don't think anything justifies her "friends" selling pictures of her now that she's a bit of a celebrity.
Needless to say these are not pictures of Antonella feeding the homeless or helping blind people cross the street.
These links are NSFW.
(I just learned what NSFW means....Not Safe For Work. That's your fact for the day.)

Tabloid Rabies
Now back to the more interesting parts of the show. I have too early favourites that I would like to share one of the girls and one of the boys.
Here are their first live performances.
Up first Lakisha Jones.

Lakisha is trying to become the next American Idol for her three year old daughter. I think that she is going to go far in this competition.
This is her idol journey so far.
You can tell a singer is great when you get goosebumps from their performance.
I have also heard a rumor that Jennifer Hudson former American Idol loser and Academy Award nominee is going to sing this on the Oscar telecast on Sunday, she is going to have to sing the crap out of it to compete with this woman.
Now from the guys side there is Blake Lewis.

I like this one. He seems to be a performer in the true sense of the word.
This is another one to watch.
Here is Blake's group performance in Hollywood.
Just because I want to show it.

Doctor Who and Torchwood

I remember when I was young and introduced to Doctor Who for the first time. It must have been in the late 70's when I stayed over at my grandparents house. I can't remember for sure who liked the show more, my Grandmother or my Grandfather, but I do remember my Grandmother enjoying it quite a bit.
I hated it.
I couldn't wait for the show to be over so we could watch something I liked.
It's funny how things change.
Last winter CBC started playing the new Doctor Who. I will admit at first I really wasn't that interested in it. That was until I heard that it was being directed by Russell T. Davis, creator of Queer as Folk. The original British version, that is.

The Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler
From the first episode of Doctor Who I was hooked. It's a great series that provides laughs as well as some down right creepy episodes. The episode that really creeped me out was called The Empty Child. I still get chills thinking about it. Coincidently enough, this was the episode that Captain Jack Harkness was introduced for the first time.
Captain Jack was so well liked by viewers that he was given his own spin off series entitled Torchwood.

Torchwood has not yet started to air here in Canada but will begin shortly, also on CBC. I made the mistake of searching out episodes on line and I have already watched the first season and it was as good as the Doctor, but now I have to wait another year for season 2. Captain Jack is played by a great actor by the name of John Barrowman.
If there wasn't enough of a reason to like Captain Jack there is this, which is just a nice bonus. click me
If you haven't caught Doctor Who yet and you enjoy some good sci-fi check it out, and when Torchwood starts don't miss it.
I'm sure my Grandparents would approve.
Here are some pictures of Captain Jack, The Doctor, and Rose.





Commercials for the End of the Week
Here are a couple of commercials that made me laugh.
Apologies to all my blond friends.
You know who you are.
This is not a commercial but a fantastic prank.
This poor guy's "friends" changed the start up music on his computer.

On a Lighter Note
Let's start the week off with some fun stuff.
First up is some vintage Madonna.

God that makes me feel old.
How 'bout some funny commercials.
Let's start with a beer commercial there usually good for a laugh or two.
Here's a plasma television commercial.
Warning!!! This not for people with weak stomachs.

Dove and Sony Bravia Commercials
Here are a couple of video's that I stumbled across recently. The first is from Dove. About two years ago Dove started using "normal" women in their commercials to demonstrate that not everyone looks like a supermodel. Here is the newest commercial.
The closing line says it all. No wonder our perception of beauty is distorted.
On a lighter note there is Sony Bravia televisions. I saw the first commercial a few months ago and thought I would share it. The producer took 250,000 multi-coloured superballs and dropped them down a San Francisco street. The results are amazing. Check it out.
Now they had to top it. The latest commercial was a huge undertaking requiring tonnes of paint and hundreds of crew members to pull it off. Before you watch keep in mind that they did not use any computer graphics to make the commercial.
In case you were worried the paint was made mostly of water and completely non-toxic. It was so safe that you could have drunk it. The clean up took five days with sixty people working on it.

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
Here is another newer show that I'm hooked on. Mark got me interested in it over the summer. Here in Ottawa its on Showcase. "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia revolves around four friends who run a bar in the City of Brotherly Love and have to overcome their relentless self-involvement to make their friendship and business work." according to TV.com. It so much more than that, the show is completely politically incorrect and hilarious.
Here are a few random clips from the episode "Dennis and Dee go on welfare". The two siblings end up quitting there jobs and after all kinds of problems end up as "crack addicts"
Finally here is a quick recap of season 1. Season 2 see's the return of Danny DeVito to television and he's a great addition to the cast.

Homer Simpson + Shakespeare = MacHomer

For all the true Simpson's fans out there. It' MacHomer now playing in Toronto.
From the MacHomer homepage:
"This one-man vocal spectacular features impressions of over 50 voices from TV`s The Simpsons in a hilarious performance of Shakespeare`s Macbeth! With a script which remains 85% Shakespeare, MacHomer will leave you "exhausted with laughter" (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette).
Rick Miller has performed MacHomer to capacity crowds across the U.S. and Canada. The show has toured the world to rave reviews and awards in Scotland, England, Australia, and New Zealand.
Spot-on impressions of characters from the hit series populate this imaginatively staged version of the tragedy, a multi-media update truly “full of sound and fury”. The result is that rare jewel: an educational and entertaining show, which has amazed audiences of all ages, backgrounds and languages."
I urge you to check out the site. The voice clips are really dead on and its a really well designed site.

Must See T.V.

Wednesday night television is shaping up to be one of the best nights. Tonight was third episode of Jericho. It's a really well done drama on CBS. If you haven't seen it yet it revolves around a town following a nuclear attack on the US. So far its been a riveting drama. It stars Skeet Ulrich and I highly recommend it.


Tonight is also the return of Lost another fantastic drama from ABC. It's 9:05 and Lost has been on for a total of about 5 minutes and I can't believe what I have seen. I will not give it away for those who may have tapped it, but holy crap. Not only did things go in a direction that I didn't even imagine, but they featured my favorite author's (Stephen King) books in a couple of scenes. I couldn't make out what book they were reading so I can't tell if it has any bearing on the story line or not. That's it for now back to the show......
