Aug. 19th, 2008 10:49 amIt's the last week before classes begin, so things are super-insane. Here are ten things that have distracted me.
1. 100 writers who have never won a Hugo. Of course, there are more than 100 writers who have never won, but since this list was crafted to list folks we might have expected to have won Hugos, it omits Piers Anthony, Terry Goodkind, Stephen Donaldson, and John Norman.
2. Neil Diamond. As seen through a crappy bagel.
3. Burger King's veggie porn scandal. Shocking.
4. PETA: Still run by assholes.
5. Food-related album covers.
6. AC/DC's new album is being sold exclusively at Wal-Mart. Wait. What?
7. It's been linked everywhere, but here's H.P. Lovecraft as a Whitman Sampler Copywriter.
8. For $149, you can get a "video autograph" of your favorite celebrity (assuming your fave is Shatner, Hulk Hogan, or Danica Patrick).
9. The RIAA is finally forced to pay for their harassment of an innocent women. Here's hoping they keep having to pay until they're broke.
10. Finally, here's Walt Disney's Sin City -- Disney princesses filtered through Frank Miller's Whore-O-Vision.
