AmericaJR.com is arguably the hottest up-and-coming paper in Detroit since the Journal. Hyperbole? Maybe, but speaking as someone who has written news, opinion, and reviews for periodicals, and who occasionally finds the time to annotate and upload photo galleries, I have to hand it to Jason Rzucidlo and his staff. I particularly recommend the Pictures section. Some of the photos could use a little brightness and color tweaking, but it’s still really cool.
I can’t believe that he’s kept it going for five years [I’m not sure how old he is, but if I had to guess based on the photos he turns up in, I would guess that, at his age, I would’ve gotten bored with it at five days]. I also can’t believe that I didn’t find this sooner [I was googling “Wonderland Mall Livonia” to see if it was still open, and AmericaJR’s articles were listed just below the Detroit News].

The streamlined flavor of Mozilla undertakes

a year or so, and Binder Park’s webmaster must be wondering why the
server is melting down in the middle of winter.

This must be what David Cross is talking about when he complains about
having to read other
countries’ newspapers to get the straight story — no apparent US
coverage whatsoever!
I feel better knowing that I spent years typing papers in what would
eventually become the official typeface. If only the official margins
were five and a half inches too.

Okay, I lied. But this is more about the reaction to the halftime show
than it is about the actual halftime show.
Riches
has contacted the FCC and Republican Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch’s office to
complain. “You see a naked booby on TV today,” she said. “So what will
you see 10 years from now if no one speaks out?”
Let’s ignore the societal effects of a concerned mother and an
established newspaper, citizens of one of the most conservative and
ostensibly “family values” oriented states in the nation, using
second-grade playground slang to decry the rest of the country’s moral
outrage, and remember that this sort of thing has happened before…
What happens is that it
shows up on bloopers shows for a while and then someone makes

about it. CUE THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION!!! I SAID, CUE THE
DECLINE…

I had no clue who the Mystery Entertainer was supposed to be until Sunday afternoon, when, out in the car, I heard the new Nelly single, which features Mr. Derrty and Justin Timberlake over a sample of “Back in Black” by AC/DC. At that point, I was nearly positive Timberlake had to be the mystery guest and that they were going to do this’n together. Boy, was I ever wrong.
Naturally, I can’t find jack about this song online right now.

I am intrigued, sure — t’would be nice not to have to buy a GameCube+GameBoy Player to do this — but I don’t see any further mention in the product description of how exactly it lets you “tune into your favorite shows on the go.” It doesn’t appear to function as a tuner or have an antenna, so I hope “your favorite shows” include Fire Emblem and Super Mario Rehash.

Sometimes I worry that I get too wrapped up in video games and computer stuff, and then I think about the people who put on formalwear and ghostwrite a “witty” soliloquy for a sleepy rodent to predict six more weeks of winter. As long as I can remember, the little whelp has seen his shadow every damned year [104 out of 118 “celebrations,” the article claims].
I don’t live near Gobbler’s Knob, but if I did, I’d be pulling to bring back booze.

what I thought I saw at the conclusion of the halftime show: why would
Janet put one of those things on if the finale was unplanned and, as Justin
termed it, “a wardrobe malfunction?” And does anyone else see Joan
Rivers adding the phrase “wardrobe malfunction” to her repertoire for
many awards shows to come?
