Meanwhile, In the Dystopian Future…

The Empress Ming the Merciless prepares to give birth to the new age of despotism!

Beginning with its imperial fanfare and militaristic pomp, progressing through the forced adoration of the Glorious Leader (L-U-V Madonna! L-U-V Madonna!), and culminating in her apotheosis as the goddess and chief priestess of her own cult of personality, Madonna was urging…

Nickelodeon Understands Great Role Models

Johnny Depp was a presenter over the weekend at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards and during his time on stage he proceeded to blow massive loads of green slime all over adoring children fans. Nothing wrong with that. Nope, not one bit. After all, it’s the innocence and naivety of children’s television shows and stars that make a rather suggestive act perfectly acceptable. Right? For example, take a look at teen star Taylor Momsen posing on the red carpet at the Kids Choice Awards: The 17 year old starlet, also a presenter at the awards show, showed up looking appropriately…

That Guy Returns

Manolo says, in December the Manolo posted the infamous That Guy or the Diamonds commercial, which elicited over one hundred comments from the Manolo’s internet friends. And now, here are two more, of the that guy commercials. So, dear readers of the Manolo, these guys or the diamonds? For the Manolo, the dog grooming and the pedicure giving fall under the category of “best handled by professionals”, so the diamonds win. But there is also nothing as romantic, as personal, or as welcome as receiving the handwritten letter of love from one who adores you, certainly not diamonds and pedicures…
