  • Required reading from the Battlestar Galactica guy

    I’m sure many of you are Battlestar Galactica fans, but I’ve never watched the show so I don’t talk about it here. Sorry about that. Maybe this will make up for it: Ron Moore, creator of Battlestar Galactica, gives his top five sci-fi books. I’ve only read “Stranger In A Strange Land” and I hated…

  • “The Ringer” vs. South Park

    Fake cripple fight!!!! In 2004, South Park did an episode called “Up The Down Steroid” about the Special Olympics. One of the two plotlines involved Cartman faking a mental handicap so that he could compete in the Special Olympics and win $1000 since he easily beat the retarded kids. However, he learns that the Special…

  • Hey Froggy Babyyyyyyy!

    Sesame Street is being adapted for French TV but without Kermit the Frog, who might offend some sensibilities (and lead to far too many “tastes like chicken” jokes, perhaps).
