So I tried to start a fake Shaq twitter →
A few weeks back, when I was traveling from Knoxville to New York, I had something like a four hour layover. In an effort to find something, anything, to do to pass the time, I started a fake Shaq Twitter account, modeled after the Big Aristotle’s actual Twitter account. The whole point was to build up enough of an audience to hopefully elicit a response from real Shaq directed at fake...
“AdAge recently reported that only 3% of Condé Nast revenue comes from digital,...”
– From the press release for the new Conde Nast Digital division.
But, eeks, it’s probably in their best interests to have that percentage go up sooner rather than later.

I feel like this comes from a really bad place, and I don’t respect it. [I’m not calling anyone at CHTV a racist; what I’m saying is that they know not what they mock, and are doing it in poor form.] Gangsta rap is so easy to make fun of - just look at how funny they are with their guns and rolled-up pant-legs, their ridiculous ‘bling’ and anti-white...

It will probably be a time wrought with deep self discovery, each cast member reflecting on who they are and their places within society.

My blog may become a Pavla autoblogography.
Not a shitty joke
Pavla: i'm convincing kat and nick to get married on 9/02/10
Pavla: it's a thursday, but i think they can pull it off
This is my life.

I am at a bar where Cracker’s “Low” just came on I started ROCKING OUT. Please, help me.
The main difference between Alex and me is that this is his ‘Low’, whereas this is mine.

So, that’s great. Also, there’s no working TV for the inauguration and the wi-fi just isn’t quite fast enough to stream live video, or load this page.

Last weekend the Tennesssee TItans lost a heartbreaking playoff game to the Balitmore Ravens as a result of: a couple bad calls, no bounces going their way, and an injury to their best offensive player right before halftime. Despite all the bad breaks, the Titans still had a chance to win the game without about a minute-and-a-half left, although they couldn’t pull it out.
By the end of the...

That could have been bad.
Digg it?
So Streeter wrote a really nice thing about the CollegeHumor TV show, and it was actually something that I felt compelled to do a little while ago but couldn’t really bring myself to, mainly because I haven’t worked there for awhile so I don’t want to make it seem like I claimed any real connection to the show and the success of its actual existance.
The main reason I’m...
“In retrospect, I feel bad about saying Ariane can’t cook, but I was angry...”
– Toby Young says something polite, and not in obnoxious metaphor.
Like the rainbow that appears at the end of a torrential downpour, this makes everyone feel all warm and gay, or something.

The interesting bits are as follows:
Peter Berg is cousins with Buzz Bissinger (author of Friday Night Lights and the guy who flipped out on Will Leitch on Costas Now).
The idea for the really awful Landry/Tyra storyline was not pushed on the show by the network, but more just a reaction by the writers to try and do something to make the show work, in that, they had tried to make a great...
