			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Bernie Mac (1957-2008)</strong></p>
<p><img id="image363" src="http://www.earlyorke.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/081008mac_20080810_03_37_22_4_h282w400.jpg" alt="081008mac_20080810_03_37_22_4_h282w400.jpg" /></p>
<p><em>Died Saturday from &#8212; wait for it &#8212; <strong>pneumonia</strong>.  How the hell does a millionaire die from pneumonia?  At first I was a bit perplexed, but then I read that he suffered from some disease that severely affects his immune system.  Tough break, man (respectfully).</em></p>
<p><strong>Isaac Hayes (1942-2008)</strong></p>
<p><img id="image364" src="http://www.earlyorke.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/isaac-hayes-460b_788816c.jpg" alt="isaac-hayes-460b_788816c.jpg" /></p>
<p><em>He was found passed out near his treadmill.  He died an hour later at Baptist East Hospital in Memphis.</em></p>
<p>Okay&#8230; let&#8217;s now add to this the long list of celebrity deaths this year:</p>
<p>Heath Ledger<br />
Tim Russert<br />
Charlton Heston<br />
Bill O&#8217;Reilly (Okay, wishful thinking)<br />
Sydney Pollack<br />
Harvey Korman<br />
George Carlin</p>
<p>&#8230;and those are only a few.  What is going on here?  I understand that death is a normal and inevitable part of one&#8217;s life, and that celebrities, though ridiculously wealthy, also must kick the bucket&#8230; but why are so many of them dying this year?  I can&#8217;t recall ever seeing so many famous names pop up online with that dismal (19##-2008) following them.  Do the celebrities know something that we don&#8217;t know?  Are they cashing in their chips to go meet up with good &#8216;ole L. Ron Hubbard for a reason?  Oh my God, is something really devastating about to happen to us all?  Whoa, hold on a sec&#8230; are the terrorists going to attack again?!  <em>Is that what it is?!  THAT&#8217;S WHAT IT IS ISN&#8217;T IT!  HOLY CRAP&#8230; HOW DID THEY KNOW?!</em></p>

<p>While The Dark Knight was probably one of the best experiences of my life, I can&#8217;t help but adhere to the lingering memory of one specific trailer that preceeded it at that showing.  I&#8217;ve been following every piece of info on &#8220;Watchmen&#8221; (the movie depicted in said trailer), but up until now the world has been denied even a teaser trailer.  Well, the wait is over.  Check out this slice of fried gold (yes, I just quoted Shaun of the Dead&#8230; and Hott Fuzz):</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This will almost certainly turn out to be the next over-hyped/played video on the interwebs.  If this little idiot was my son I&#8217;d probably take him out back and shoot him.  Some kids play video games waaaaaaaaaaay too much, and as a result are turning things like books into dead forms of entertainment.  <em>This kid</em> takes things even further&#8230; complete, pathetic obsession.</p>
<p>I will give him credit for his attention to detail though.  He did a great job replicating those weapons.  He&#8217;s still a nut-job though.</p>

Musical chairs&#8230; Cedric won the whole sha-bang.  While I&#8217;m on the subject I&#8217;ll say that both myself and my cousin-in-law (is that even a real title?), Sam, both helped to take Muck and Lisa &#8211;whose party this was&#8211; out of the game.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No idea what these guys are trying to perform in order to save their manhood in the following video.  My best guess is that they are attempting to recite a tongue-twister as quickly as they can, but I&#8217;m not 100% on that.  Anyway, only one of them succeeds in doing <em>whatever it is</em>, while the rest of them are forever rendered incapable of fathering a child.  I suppose that&#8217;s a good thing considering that they were stupid enough to sign up for this show in the first place.  Awesome video, even if it has been around forever.</p>

<p>This second video is my favorite of them all (and believe me, I&#8217;ve seen a shniz-load of japanese game and prank shows).  Like the first one I posted here, this video is a bit old, but if you haven&#8217;t seen it&#8230; well, it&#8217;s new to you.  Make sure you aren&#8217;t drinking anything when you watch this because it will shoot out your nose.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Christians.  Why the hell can&#8217;t they just leave everyone to worship &#8212; or not worship &#8212; in their own way.  Why do they have to do things like protest at Heath Ledger&#8217;s funeral because he portrayed a homosexual in a movie?  Why do they feel obligated to stand outside of public places handing out leaflets that tell us why we will be going to hell if we don&#8217;t take Jesus into our hearts?  Why can&#8217;t they just mind their own business and focus on THEIR OWN relationship with God?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m trying not to get really angry here.  Religion and I have had our issues for quite some time.  It all stems from that time when Religion and I were downing shots of Tequila and chasing them with Bourbon.  I don&#8217;t know how it happend, but somehow we got on the topic of my mother, and Religion started making up all these rude things about her.  I won&#8217;t go into details but I will say that we haven&#8217;t spoken since.  DAMN YOU, RELIGION!  I AM NOT ADOPTED!  MY MOTHER IS A SAINT!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m done kidding.  Here is the real reason for this post: a video of some Christian asshole whose name I will not bother to commit to memory.  He goes on this whole rant about how George Carlin is burning in Hell, and how he is begging for God&#8217;s mercy&#8230; so on and so forth.  It&#8217;s psychotic.</p>
<p>Rest In Peace, George.  We will miss you.</p>
