I have to head into work this weekend, which if I pretend is a sauna, almost makes it feel like a vacation...that I didn't want to take.
Best of the week: WWTDD had this to say about the hysterically unfunny mess that isDouchefest Entourage:
I could put my keyboard on the ground and then step on it for 22 pages, and when I was done not only would my “script” have a better plot than the best “Entourage” ever, it would, by default, have much funnier jokes as well. Thankfully more and more people are finally waking up to this indisputable fact, and top Hollywood funnyman Seth Rogen would agree. Movieline says...

In one of its typically late-to-the-game, random cultural broadsides, the writers of Entourage went after Seth Rogen in last night’s episode, calling his “ugliness…oddly fascinating” in a debate over whether the actor could land a Katherine Heigl-type in real life. Behold, (Rogens) amazing response when asked about the incident for E!’s Daily 10; “Yeah, those guys are assholes. I actually ran into Matt…Kevin Dillon in a Starbucks. And he’s like ‘you know, I’ve got to kind of apologize because apparently the guy who created our show doesn’t like you so much.’ And I said ‘well I have reason to believe because I think [showrunner] Doug Ellin is a moron from all I can understand so it makes sense he doesn’t like me.’ Luckily I never have and never plan on watching Entourage.”
I don’t mean to nitpick, but Entourage is about 4 thoroughly unlikable and goofy looking poser fags who get tons of hot ass, so it might not be the best idea in the world to point out how unrealistic that is. But when you have a joke so timely, only two years after the movie came out, that’s a chance you have to take. Rogen better cover his ears in 2011.

Entourage Cliche Character 2: “Yeah, right, more like NOT Funny People!”

(You can have that Entourage. That one is for you.)
Worst of the week: Three people have been accused of letting rats bite a 6-week-old girl and chew off her toes at their cluttered Ohio mobile home. Ohio, you're getting dangerously close to challenging Florida for the tarnished crown of shame.
Pike County prosecutor Rob Junk (kudos on your awesome name) says the baby's toes on one foot were gone when sheriff's deputies went to the home over the weekend after receiving an anonymous tip. The baby is in fair condition at a Columbus hospital. A married couple and the 18-year-old boyfriend of the baby's mother are charged with felony child endangering and will remain jailed pending a plea hearing in two weeks. They all lived in the mobile home west of Piketon, a village noted for its old uranium enrichment plant. Nice. Even better? The baby's mother is a juvenile, and still may be charged.
Runner up: The race card got played a whole bunch over the week, and as the story unfolded it was an issue of being black while American which turned into a case of reverse racism and overreacting.
Was there unnecessary suspicion over Henry Gates Jr. because he was black? Perhaps. But was he overly inflamitory and stiring up the racial tension? Absolutely. Find me a black man over the age of 45 who doesn't get fired up over any contact with a white authority figure, and you've got yourself a black Republican - which is essentially a white man. The gasoline poured on the blaze by the president's opinion helped very little, since it only hung the racism sign over the Commander-in-chief. His comments, while at their base ring true about the black experience and racial tension, ultimately were made without much insight into the circumstances.
With black policemen, school officials, and government heads all backing the white policeman's conduct, all that's left is the embarassing gaffe by the president to respond before researching the situation. While Gates can prattle away in the same Sharpton / Jackson vein, which can be discounted as soon as it's said, it's the finger of blame which falls with more force now that the scope of the stoy had widened. Though the misstep should quiet down in another few days, it is no less embarassing to invoke racism and bias when you've got an expert on race profiling being charged.
