Something for Everyone

I thought I'd scour the Internet a little bit and provide you with links to interesting reads and sites:

-- Here's another reason to hate the New York Times. Apparently, the Times rejected a student for an internship because one of the student's professors has been critical of the Times in the past.

-- This link is "your field guide to the Southeastern Conference (and a bunch of other teams besides), as explained via the cosmology of The Simpsons." Thanks to Simonetti for bringing this to my attention.

-- The Democratic candidate running against Arnold in California put this Sesame Street parody on his web site. Thanks to Ukman for the link.

-- Bud Light may not allow people to post their Real Men of Genius commercials on the web, but doggonit, we can still find the text. This site contains the text of all those classic radio Bud Light ads.

-- Did you love The Critic starring Jon Lovitz? If so, you may enjoy a wave collection of some of the show's funniest moments.

-- Orson Welles fell on hard times later in his career. He ended making this embarassing frozen food commercial. Here are the outtakes from that session. I think he's overdirecting a bit for a damn pea commercial.

-- I don't have much of an explanation, just check out the following links: Typo Bush, Typo Biggie, Typo Dylan and Typo Lennon.

-- Dan Gillmor's book We the Media is a fairly interesting read, and it's completely free online. That's really why I'm offering it as a link here.

-- You will get addicted to 3-D Pong.

-- An oldie, but a goodie for all of you who are continually frustrated with Macs.

-- Thanks for the Memories, Saddam.

-- As the site says, really, really, really lots of Daily Show quotes.

-- Do you need hip-hop lyrics? Ohhla has 'em.

-- You Kicked My Dog. I know. It's old. But who cares? It's still funny.

-- Arnold's Pizza Shop. Again, I know. It's old. Again, who cares? It's still funny.

-- A map of Springfield for the diehard Simpsons fan.

-- A comprehensive list of essays Steve Martin has written. You'll laugh 'til you cry.

-- I'm not sure what to think of this next link. Deadspin reports a story -- true or not, I don't know -- about baseball players discussing some sexually excplicit topics online with women.

-- Sometimes when a critic has too many movies to review, they decide not to review the bad ones.

-- A student editor at The Emerson College decided to run the cartoons of Muhammed that have caused riots overseas.

-- And finally, what link dump would be complete without some items from the Elon E-net want ads. First up, someone who desperately needs to find an interesting story for a class. Next, we have a gentleman trying to unload 50 ping pong balls. I wonder what they're for? The sadness continues, as I wonder how inept an advertising campaign must be if a speed dating event draws more men than women. This is at Elon, remember. Do you want to pimp your dog? And last, but not least, if you buy a Britney Spears book and decide you don't want it anymore, just throw it away.
