The “One Million Moms” (who actually only had around 40,000 Facebook likes) tried to get Ellen Degeneres fired as a JC Penney spokesperson on account of her being gay. A counter Facebook page looking to garner an actual 1,000,000 supporters for Ellen started fishing for likes and has received over 100,000 in a hurry. If you happen [...]

6 Comments »Ellen Responds To The “Million Moms”
February 8th, 2012 Daniel Fincke This organization doesn’t think I should be the spokesperson because I’m gay. For those of you who are just tuning in for the first time, it’s true. I’m gay. I hope you were sitting down. I hate to break it to you this way. I usually don’t talk about stuff like this on my show [...]

September 19th, 2011 Daniel Fincke Soon-to-be fellow Freethought Blogs blogger Jen McCreight has a good post, wherein she is skeptical of a character’s skeptical reactions in an episode of True Blood. Jen gives spoilers, but I won’t. I can just sum up the problem abstractly as the following: a character who over the course of 47 episodes of the show has discovered the [...]

Cheetah Whisperer
September 3rd, 2011 Daniel Fincke The sounds of the cheetahs in the first couple of minutes is downright musical: Thanks to Leroy for the find. And I cannot mention cheetahs and not provide a link to some of my favorite 19 seconds in TV history. Your Thoughts?
Is There A Curse On MSNBC's 8PM Time Slot That Turns Smart People Into Blowhards?
February 10th, 2011 Daniel Fincke Lawrence O’Donnell has become insufferable ever since he started subbing for Keith Olbermann last year and is getting worse nightly since taking over the 8pm slot full time. Below is an mesmerizingly awful display as O’Donnell makes even an apology into an occasion for massive quantities of bluster and verbosity and all around blowharding: Visit [...]
Vintage Kermit the Frog From "Sam & Friends" On Visual Thinking
February 5th, 2011 Daniel Fincke Amazing footage, it boggles my mind to see Kermit in the ’50s: It’s such a shame that Jim Henson’s deft, pitch perfect sense of humor and imagination died with him. Most things muppet-related have been bland, assembly line, Disneyfied hack work since 1990. Blegh. Kermit the Frog is dead, long live Kermit the Frog. Your [...]

January 31st, 2011 Daniel Fincke Conor Friedersdorf thinks the left is better off without Olbermann and not having all the liabilities that come with inflammatory characters: The left has its own malign influences on public discourse. Some are rich and successful. It no more makes sense for liberals to envy the right it’s talk radio hosts than it makes sense [...]

January 4th, 2011 Daniel Fincke A good day for freedom of speech as the censorious FCC loses its case trying to levy a fine for a naked butt on NYPD Blue: NEW YORK – The Federal Communications Commission cannot fine broadcasters for showing a woman’s nude buttocks on a 2003 episode of “NYPD Blue,” a federal court ruled Tuesday, citing [...]
William Shatner As Stanley Milgram In The 1975 Film “The Tenth Level”
July 25th, 2010 Daniel Fincke Stanley Milgram was the psychologist who performed the famous obedience experiments which involved getting normal people to go through with administering (what they thought were) extraordinarily painful shocks to other people out of deference to calm but firm orders from an authority figure. Now Mind Hacks points our attention to The Tenth Level a fascinating bit [...]
Judge This: No Gay Kissing On Modern Family?
June 24th, 2010 Daniel Fincke I am a bit late on this story but wanted to offer a contrary viewpoint to the dominant one of the outraged blogosphere. Though I have never seen the show, I was interested in the controversy over the show Modern Family which apparently features a gay couple among its lead characters. The controversy centers not [...]

November 10th, 2009 Daniel Fincke This real-time Ukrainian sand animator, Kseniya Simonva has to be seen to be believed. I’ve never seen anything like it. She essentially tells us a story by drawing each step of its progression at a time in real time transforming the same sand into the next portion of the story. It’s truly, truly extraordinary: Once you’ve [...]
Do You Believe In Satan?
November 10th, 2009 Daniel Fincke The theologians at The View weighed in on this question last March… I’d like to ask my Christian readers especially—do you believe in Satan? And if so, what do you think Satan is like exactly? And why do you think what you think? Your Thoughts?

November 9th, 2009 Daniel Fincke So on Saturday night, Taylor Swift went on SNL and performed a really funny song. (The video used to be in this post before NBC took it down from YouTube.) I was really impressed with her comic delivery in numerous respects. She really squeezes all the comedic juice out of a fairly by-the-numbers bit of [...]

September 12th, 2009 Daniel Fincke I was really irritated last night by Derren Brown’s choice to use his lottery trick on national TV in Britain to propagate fundamentally bogus mathematical thinking and to convince a group of people that their belief in their abilities to reach into the subconscious was able to generate knowledge of winning lottery ticket numbers. It’s [...]
