Monday, June 20th, 2011Normally I like Mariah Carey, but this is really creepy. Here is the new ad for Mariah Carey’s new trio of fragrances, Lollipop Splash the Remix. Our first reaction when first viewing the image on People.com was to laugh (Mimi is unintentionally hilarious!), then to cringe (why must Mimi, who is 42 years old, continually [...]
Hungry, Hungry Hippos
Sunday, June 19th, 2011After a few weeks off the grid, the Crankipants clan is back with a new edition of Monkey and Bird. This installment has full-frontal nudity, and a link to Christina Hendricks in a lace teddy. Good marketing ploy, or b.s.? You’ll have to click over to find out. You can check out the freshly-squeezed goodness [...]
Texas Senator Chris Harris: Hero
Sunday, June 19th, 2011Well, he’s a hero to me, anyway. Harris was present during testimony on Senate Bill 9, which would crack down on illegal immigration, and he gave a terrific verbal smackdown to Antolin Aguirre. Aguirre, an uppity activist, has a problem with the English language. Antolin Aguirre of the Austin Immigrant Rights Coalition was testifying against [...]
Happy Father’s Day!
Sunday, June 19th, 2011Happy Father’s Day to all you dads out there. Sure, we get the short end of the stick at times. Sure, no star athlete ever says, “Hi, Dad!” when they’re on camera. But hey, we knew the risks when we took the job. Now don’t get me wrong; I don’t consider myself a SuperDad – [...]
Philadelphia: America’s 2nd Dirtiest City
Saturday, June 18th, 2011I’ve lived here all my life and I can tell you that this town wallows in its own filth. Drive down any street here and you’ll see some jerkass throw trash – piles of it – out their car windows. I wish I were kidding. The City of Brotherly Love has been ranked the second [...]
Code Monkeys On A Plane
Saturday, June 18th, 2011So, Tuesday my friend Code Monkey came into Philly, since my little burg happened to be her layover stop. We’ve known each other – online, at least – for six years . . . the entire life of the blog. Six years, and we’ve never personally met. Weird. Those of you who know me well [...]
Britney Spears About To Be Harpooned
Saturday, June 18th, 2011You can always count on the British tabloids to post unflattering pics of celebrities. In this case, I think it’s great; because I despise Britney Spears. Most singers lose weight before they go on tour owing to all the rehearsals and training they have to put themselves through. However Britney Spears appears to have gained [...]

PPD Shoots, Kills Armed Suspect
Friday, June 17th, 2011This is a completely justified shooting, but I wanted to put it out there just the same. Why? Because moments after I hit “Publish,” the trolls will be coming out of the woodwork claiming this incident is explained by: 1. The militarization of the police. 2. Police brutality. 3. Racism. None of these excuses hold [...]
Christina Hendricks Is Smoking Hot
Friday, June 17th, 2011While she probably already knows that, she doesn’t need to prove it. Flame-haired “Mad Men” star Christina Hendricks was literally sizzling hot at the Tony Awards afterparty when she caught fire and burst into flames, the New York Post reported Thursday. The party was held at Sunday at New York hotel The Carlyle, where the [...]
