This edition is sparked by what might be the most offensive thing The Onion has ever done. The redeeming value is it's almost not a spoof; it's almost like watching a real cable news channel (pick any of them) broadcast the latest cute missing co-ed.
Aquafina is simply tap water, and so is Dasani. This may not be surprising to you, but the labeling is finally starting to reflect this truth. It's just water in a bottle.
Seen the wordless "Nip/Tuck" season five promo? The song is Giant Drag's cover of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" -- the one with the black-and-white video with the naked model. The girl-sung, yet heavier Giant Drag version can be streamed here. There's also a live version from Coachella with a bizarre intro in which Annie Hardy jokes that Isaak stole the song from her -- among other things.
On the music kick, the Foo Fighters are back after a rather boring double album, and the first song, "The Pretender," is at their Myspace site. There's also this other new song (free download) from a radio session. And in a different vein of music, Rilo Kiley is always nice for free. And if you don't like the music, how can you not like her?
"Late Night With Conan O'Brien" is now streamed the next day on NBC.com. Full episodes. It's about damn time. Not everyone can stay up late to watch Quackers the shit-eating duck.
