South Park Does Dr. Seuss

I may be a little late on this one, but I need to raise awareness of some of the great stuff in the newest episode of South Park, “A Scause for Applause,” particularly its excellent satire aimed squarely at our culture of getting behind causes–as long as our displays for approval (be they in the form of t-shirts, bracelets or bumper stickers) take front and center to actually working for the cause itself. It is a clean, sugar-coated way of going about activism today. And what better way to drive this point home than to use a Dr. Seuss-esque swindler to peddle it all in striking color and rhyme. Take a gander after the jump, and give OL traffic a bump.

‘COMMUNITY’ season four starts in Canada first. Wonky Canucks!

Canada has it figured out, man. Bears that can ice skate and cook waffles. Medicine for everyone. Community actually hitting the airwaves. We live in the underbelly, jealous of their talking trees who dispense maple syrup and pleasantries.

Monday Morning Commute: Frankenstorm’s Monster

Hello there! If you’re reading this it means that Frankenstorm hasn’t totally rocked you. Not yet, anyways. Or, if you took the proper precautions as I did, you’re safe in a bunker, leisurely tapping away on a hard-shelled laptop produced in 1995 and powered by a Soviet-surplus generator.

Mother Nature is a powerful woman of antiquity, but I’m a crafty miscreant in the digital age.

Anyways, welcome to the Monday Morning Commute, the weekly meeting at which we confess our darkest entertainment secrets. Can’t tell your boyfriend about that comic book you bought? Come to the MMC! None of your coworkers will appreciate the Japanese import you just got in the mail? Come to the MMC! Pretty sure your wife doesn’t give two buttery squirrel shits about the fact that you’re going to beat Super Mario Bros. 3 without the use of a single warp or whistle? Come to the MMC!

I’m going to get things started. But then it’s up to you to share what you’ll be doing this week. C’mon, it’s electronic show and tell!

‘COMMUNITY’ Season Four Trailer: Metacommentary, Annie’s Boobs, and more.

Community should have premiered tonight. It didn’t. Despite proclaiming that October 19th was going to be the jammy-jam release of the fourth season, NBC recently nixed that idea. Don’t despair! Or, okay, despair. But take with your weepy-eyed dumb faces this trailer for the fourth season. It’s a delicious helping of Alison Brie, Troy and Abed, and thinly cloaked shots at NBC. What isn’t to love?

Seth MacFarlane hosting Oscars. This makes sense. Both aren’t funny! #Trolling

Seth MacFarlane is hosting the Oscars, an event known for inspiring utter apathy in my ass. It’s a bit fitting, since MacFarlane generally does nothing for me as well. Oh lord, I’m trolling, I’m trolling. So maybe Family Guy has devolved into a legion of non sequiturs, but this summer’s Ted was pretty radical.
