Via AoSHQ, I bring you… Dead Snow.
I don’t know who it is that keeps reading my mind when it comes to picking out movie ideas, but they can keep doing it, with my compliments. Even if it’s in Norwegian.

And to answer his question… the reason why they bothered getting the licenses to this series and not E-Swat
Was that snide? That may have been snide.

The video, I can’t help you with.
‘What Could Possibly Go Wrong With This Ad Campaign?’
Via Hot Air Headlines:
Oh, yes, this is going to be an inspired ad campaign.
If you get an envelope in the mail containing white powder, chances are, it’s nothing to freak out about.
According to local officials, the Bayer Aspirin Company will be deploying a nationwide mass mailing ad campaign that seems a little “misguided.”
Between May 20 and May 29, the Aspirin Company will be sending out 178,000 envelopes. Of those envelopes, 33,561 will contain a sample of Bayer Aspirin Crystals, which is a white powder.
To quote the Vice President:
Couldn’t have said it better, myself.

Lithuanian Baby Racing!
Tragically, the footage at 1:19 switched just before the baby consumed the cameraman.

Oddly, at first I thought that this was a The Kids in the Hall
Return of the Crocs?
His plans for Crocs — though almost more terrifying and real a threat than the swine flu — sound logical enough to work.
Doom.
DOOM!

Crocs Determined to Survive the Downturn
Crocs have been on a downward spiral for months now. Fashion people have rejoiced at the thought of Crocs — the bubonic plague of footwear — succumbing to the economy and dying out altogether in the foreseeable future. Earlier this month, the company reported a loss of $22.4 million in the first quarter (last year they only lost $4.5 million in that period). The outlook seemed dismal for Crocs yet bright for feet everywhere! But like so many unattractive fashion trends (high-wasted tapered pants, Arden Wohl headbands, leg warmers, scrunchies … ), Crocs are poised to survive, quite possibly flourish. In March they brought on John Duerden as president and CEO. Charged with turning the company around, he’s painfully optimistic.
I’ll be honest: I’m posting this because of the ‘the bubonic plague of footwear’ crack; a line like that deserves as wide a circulation as it can get. Justifiable, right? So why am I linking to this
Oh, that’s just sheer sadism.
“Poker Face.” [UPDATED]
So, I see this American Power link as part of R.S. McCain’s Rule 5 thing, and I ask myself: who the heck is Lady GaGa, and why was she posing almost nude for Rolling Stone?

Having watched the video: she’s actually not bad at all, but the woman’s hair stylist should be taken out and beaten with sticks.
[UPDATE] Jules Crittenden weighs in with his endorsement of Rolling Stone‘s endorsement of Small Wars Journal being ‘hot,’ too. This is starting to be a rather weird year.
Movie of the Wee…. Oh, WOW. It’s The Color of Magic.

Frank Castle will not be the best man, alas.
It’s apparently a slow day at CNN. It’s not supposed to be a slow day for me, but I am finding it difficult to buckle down and do what I should be doing. So… this.
Anyway, Hot Air Headlines is already starting in on the mockery, but this could actually be all right – as long as the author goes with the implied suggestion in my title and actually does make Frank Castle the best man. After all, he’s already part of that universe’s continuity.
Hip-hop steadily losing its bling.
Cruelly, the WSJ provides the real names of its interviewees whenever possible.
We must be in a recession: conspicuous consumption in hip-hop / rap / whatever they’re calling it this week is down. Way down. Via Mickey K:
Culture of Bling Clangs to Earth as the Recession Melts Rappers’ Ice
After years of starring in rap-music lyrics and videos, “bling” is losing its ring.
The recession is cramping the style of hip-hop artists and wannabes — many of whom are finding it difficult to afford the diamond-encrusted pendants and heavy gold chains they have long used to project an aura of outsized wealth.
In an attempt to keep up appearances, celebrity jewelers say rappers are asking them to make medallions with less-precious stones and metals. Some even whisper that the artists have begun requesting cubic zirconia, the synthetic diamond stand-in and QVC staple.
Can you hold in your disappointment? Try to hold in your disappointment.
