"The cash must flow.  If you scam them, they will pay." Can we laugh, mock, and meme a man who deserves hatred too?   Given that I grew up in Jim's heyday, I know how much of a terrible person he was.  He scammed millions out of boomers and their parents.  People forget the PTL club, Praise the Lord, or Pass the Loot.  I tended to lean toward an anti-religious lifestyle, partly due to these TV preachers.   Like Hogan, my views about him are complex.  I remember my boomer parents mocking them, lumping them in with Reagan.  The 80s were the age of religious groups scamming the followers into giving money. Two of the biggest were Jimmy Swaggart and Jim Bakker.   I remember watching that shit during the day and not getting it or liking it.  I was confused about why this woman, Tammy Faye Bakker, would let her makeup run down her face or why she looked like a wax model.   (Makes me realize there's a subplot about this...

  I can't believe this is still a thing.  I remember creepy men watching porn on public computers 30 years ago.  Even Rick and Morty referenced creepy men watching porn in libraries in the season finale.  Why are they putting this stuff out in public?  In many ways, adult content is...interactive.  Why would you just sit in a public place and watch it as an episode of What's Happening?   By the way, I would have arrested him on his creepiness alone.  He is on the RSO list anyway.  

  Friday night is a great time for... football.  I am not a sports fan, but I fondly remember The Last Boy Scout.  It was one of those hyper-action movies Shane Black wrote.  Directed by Tony Scott and produced by Joel Silver, not to be confused with Ron Silver.  Throw in Bruce Willis and music by Michael Kamen, and you got the whole 90s movie shebang: Bang Bang.  At this time, people were getting a little bit of an action movie overload, and it only made a little over 110 million on a 43 million budget.  Not great, but the movie did make back its budget through rewatches on cable and video.   I've come to really love this movie that floated around in the late 80s and early 90s.  It is a demo of the Michael Bay stuff that would come out today.  Future stars played smaller parts.   Here is the best part of this movie.  The bad guys actually won in real life.  Remember, this movie is centered around the g...

  You can't make this up.  ICE arrested Milo Yiannopoulos.  Yep, the gay conservative who was the water boy for Trump for nearly eight years was rounded up like an illegal alien.  2016, he was the gay pitchman for Trump.  He got cancelled and became a "straight" and Christian grifter.  You helped create this monster, and sit down and take it like a dude, Milo.   During the GamerGate era, Milo was an important person.  When the movement was dying, he leaked some GameJourno Pro posts and revealed how deeply corrupt the journos were.  Somewhere, Milo lost his way and got too close to the Trump shit storm.  Now, that storm is taking him away.   The best part of the story is that Laura Loomer snitched on him and got him arrested.  Yes, clay/rubber face Loomer got him pinched.   I don't get into politics anymore, but this one is juicy.   Let them fight...

  Anyone who has read my blog back in the day is fully aware that I hate, no, loathe, Perez Hilton.  He was the large turd of the blog world.  He would draw these stupid things over famous people's photos, like penises and things even more childish. There being mean and rude, but the drawings really pissed me off.  He would attack all these celebrities, but refused to go after other famous people.  Hilton was a piece of shit.   I sort of lost interest in him, and he sort of faded away from my attention.  For many, he was a relic of the early 2000s, like me (yikes).    Better and nicer gossip vloggers and bloggers started to rise up and replace him.   Today, I actually feel sorry for him.  I am certain you have heard of his serve meltdown/sucide appemt.  He went live on TikTok, cut himself up, covered in blood, and threatened to self-delete himself.  I could only get through the first few seconds before turning it...

  Because the Kino guys are looking back at CA, I've been getting back into Channel Awesome. In their heyday, I looked up to these guys.  Today, I actually pity most of them.  They've shown their true colors, and I don't find them appealing.   Spoony refuses to do anything but tweet.  Angry Joe is not even close to being himself and is just getting larger than Jupiter.  Linsey Ellis is afraid of her SJW fans attacking her and avoids her old CA character.  Film Brain is hanging on by a thread and still refuses to get a real job.  I think Todd in the Shadows is doing okay.   The videos below were from a series called "Spooning with Spoony".  It would be CA characters waking up in bed with Spoony, some knowingly, others unknowingly.  That has aged well, given that some content creators are a bit creepy.  Internet humor was a little too edgy back then, huh?   BTW, I found these over on KF in the Linsey folder....

 I just wanted to give the content creator a shoutout.  I've been following this Dan Markel case for a very long time, and I've been fascinated with it.  The Adelson family is made up of truly evil people.  You have a mother who involves herself in every aspect of her children's lives.  Remember, Donna Adelson helped pick out dates for her daughter on a dating website and pretended to be her in documents.   Charlie is probably someone who would have popped up on To Catch a Predator, in my opinion.  Other than paying for a murder, he has done some really terrible things.  I still believe he did something awful to a family member, and Donna knew about it.   Just my opinion.  Charlie is someone that should never see the light of day, but he might get a deal if he turns on his sister.   Below is a video that goes deep, pun intended, into the would strange brother and sister relationship between them.  Would I share a...

  This is so strange.  Seeing the Cheers set filmed in a realistic approach is a sight to behold.  The Cheers cast members seem meaner and ruder than their sitcom versions.  While both shows share a universe, the Cheers guys are not as funny.  St. Elsewhere is a drama, and Cheers is a comedy.   The Cheers set is fuller in this episode than it is on the actual show.  I loved seeing the TNG crew walking around the DS9 sets with their brighter lighting and music.  Seeing the dramatic lighting and extra...extras is an interesting side look at the Cheers set.   By the way, this crossover happened early in the Cheers series.  They mention Coach, who died later in the series.    The St. Elsewhere cast just stops by the Cheers bar, has their chat, and moves on.  The Cheers crew cameos and moves on.  Elsewhere just passes through.  I had completely forgotten about this crossover.   Did you know Mickey ...
