12 New Excuses for Undecided Voters To Stay Undecided

guyWe are 12 days away from the finale of America’s Next Top World Leader, and everyone wants you to get off your chaise lounge and VOTE. But somehow you still haven’t made up your mind. To prepare for the fire of questions you will face from your friends and those warm people handing out campaign buttons and pamphlets on the street, here is an excuse a day to get you to the voting booth. If you finally decide to go.

12. I HATE Palin. But I love pageants. So…I’m giving it some time.

11. I figure if I wait it out, McCain could go anyday, and then I won’t have to make a decision.

10. I’m waiting til’ Halloween to see how convincing the Barack-Biden and McCain-Palin costumes are. I don’t want 4 years of bad costume choices.

Here’s How To Bring Us All Together On Election Day

Celebrities are all over the viraltubes in serious videos with Snow Patrol soundtracks telling us to get out and vote. But we’re reaching a point now where you know those videos, you know what they’ll say, and they give you the same old message. Isn’t it time someone gave you a new alternative? I’m here to do just that with this video from Lynn Lynn. I’m in the video and I helped make it. So, look at me world. Also featured in the video is Best Night Ever’s Leslie Collins. Seriously, this is is serious. Watch and observe.

For real guys, you need to vote. But if you’re around on election day and find out your vote got canceled out, gimme a shout.

Josh Brolin: Head of Skate?

newbrolin

W. is out in theaters and Brolin is all the buzz now with his portrayal of our soon to be lame duck president. This weekend I was reminded that Brolin was the older brother in Goonies, something that completely slipped my mind. However this doesn’t hold a candle to my favorite young Brolin movie….

One Thing’s For Sure – That Zac Efron Plays Some Basketball!

Zac Efron is starring in the upcoming 17 Again, a movie where a 36-year old Matthew Perry realizes he hates his life and gets the do-over of a lifetime to become (dun dun dunnnn) 17 Again. The movie co-stars Thomas Lennon and Leslie Mann, trailer looks OK, whatever, whatever. What strikes me is the gratuitous use of Zac Efron basketball footage in the trailer. Observe:

Is this a special skill that his agents tell him to JUST KEEP MILKING?

AD WIZARDS: A Magical Aboriginal Kid Will Send You On Holiday

Have you ever had a really horrible day where you feel like your life has gotten away from you, your work is consuming you, and it is raining REALLY FREAKING HARD? That’s what happens in this ad directed by Baz Luhrmann (of Moulin Rouge! fame). Sometimes you have to get away. So let a little aboriginal child help you. And send you on “walkabout”….

A few observations here:

I first though the child’s bare feet in the rain were the woman’s feet, which caused me to think, “AND she forgot her shoes??? This woman is having a HORRIBLE day.”

When the magical Aussie wilderness child is creeping through her apartment, it felt a little like The Ring where that girl creeps into people’s lives.

I will not lie, rain in New York City is one of the worst things and it will make you want to break down and cry and possibly end your relationships. It is that bad, for real.

I must admit, I was waiting for that kid to whisper “Zoom zoom” at the end of the commercial and find out this was a Mazda ad.

A List Of Insane Bikes

Biking is back (did it ever leave? Can I get ‘what whaaaaat!’) and it’s getting pretty insane. Hipsters are parading around the hippest parts of hip cities on their fixed gear bikes, nerds are modding out their bikes, and engineers are in the game doing things to bikes that make them more aerodynamic and just nerdier. Now I’ll be the first to say that I bought a bike a few months ago (like I said did it ever leave? What whaaaaat!). I opted for a sensible 10-speed that has been sensibly resting against the wall in my apartment for a while now. Bikes are the new city accessory, I agree, and I’m not hating. But some of them…come on people. Come on.

Here are some of the crazy bikes out there. And trust me, they’re only getting crazier.

The Disco Bike:

discobike

Do you remember in the movie Rad where they did a couples bike dance? Two months after that hit theaters this bike was invented. You take the disco and the bike with you, and you’ve got a romantic bike dance scene anytime.

Keep reading for more ridonkulous bikes….

Toto, I Don’t Think That Bridge Was To Nowhere After All…

politics of oz

As the campaign trail winds down and the internet blazes with photoshops of LOL worthy pics, we are treated to this magical land over the rainbow. A land where four candidates embark on a quest down the yellow brick road of gold (which coincidentally doesn’t lose it’s value in a financial crisis.) Yes they are off to see the wizard, the man behind the curtain, the man who pulls the strings.

Who is this mystical man?

Will Ferrell To Give Regards To Broadway; Screaming, Rave Reviews To Ensue

wf

Will Ferrell is coming to Broadway in 2009 with a one man show titled You’re Welcome America. A Final Night with George W. Bush. Adam McKay will direct the show and it will reportedly include anecdotes from Will’s SNL days and mostly likely some impressions (I’m assuming George W. Bush will be included…unless this is Will Ferrell’s indie rock ploy at naming the show with material he won’t include. If that’s the case, look for the Bush impression video leak on some underground Broadway blog).

Here’s what I think you can expect at the show:

ROFL THIS: Enter Brandman

(Ed. Note: Dan Hopper is taking a well-deserved vacation this week. In his place, please welcome comedian Cory Cavin. He is one half of the online comedy duo Lynn Lynn (www.lynnlynncomedy.com). You can find him online at www.corycavin.com. And he’s also one of your beloved BNE producers! We’re excited to welcome him on board.)

METALLICA BRANDS.jpg

When Metallica isn’t writing and performing bone crushing metal classics, where do they spend their off time? James Hetfield is of course growling out the lyrics, “Gimme fuel, gimme fire, gimme that which I desire – Italian cut chinos! Yeayeeaaaaah!”

The caption on this picture rewrites the bridge of the band’s classic “One” with the their offstage fashion-forward attitude. Possible pic titles?

…..so I dub the True Religion…
