THE 2010 VMA awards (snore)

2010 VMAS (MTV)
Hmm.....Chelsea Handler has 1 or 2 good lines. The rest was pure shit. Truly. I like Chelsea but boy was she out of her element. Her jokes fell really flat, she stumbled over almost every one of her punchlines, and I think she thought the public was much more into her than they were. Blah.

The La Lo thing was kind of both expected and lame. I love Lindsay, but that wasn't the sketch to get things rolling.

Who would've thought the Emmy show would be more spontaneous than the VMAs?

And what about Taylor Swifts RIDICULOUS forelorn song about "growing up" and her apparant "rape" by Kanye at last year's awards shows. Enough already. For her to sit and sing like she was Tori Amos about some traumatic event....please. That better be the last of it. We con't care anymore. Really.

Some of the music was good. I applaud Gaga's meat suit. I can't really remember much else except hating myself for loving Justin Bieber's bit.

But there was a real lack of humor and fun to this that was totally the most unexpected part of the night. Who knew the VMAs could be such a bore.

Congrats Chelsea! You did it!

Man Vs. Zombies (Twitter)

The best, starkest zombie story on the web, follow Gus' Tweets. He's the only survivor of a zombie holocaust and his Tweets are sharp, funny and very much in the pocket of the genre.

Any reader of this blog knows just how well I love all things Zombie, and this site has made my daily list. Somehow, with its stark, evocative imagry, mysterious pictures and intriguing storyline, this just might be one of the best zombie stories being told. And telling it through Twitter is both bold and ingenius and reinvigorates the genre in a way that makes me love it again.

And everytime you think it's jokes, suddenly things get very serious and dark.

Bravo.

Check it out and start from the beginning.
Truly a brilliant, creepy original.
