Man Marries Videogame...

Last Sunday in Japan a man married a video game character in a real-life wedding ceremony. The ceremony was officiated by a priest in front in front of his family, friends and posted live on the internet.

I'm too tired this morning to rant about how most gay people can't get married but some videogaming douche can married a piece of machinery so I'll just say this...the Mayans were right, the end of the world is approaching fast.

There's been a lot of speculation about Anderson Cooper's sexuality. Is he gay ? Is he straight? Is it any of our business?
I wrote a blog about it for Ourscene. Check it out and let me know what you think.

5 Great Timeless Films

I'm watching The Wizard of Oz and I was just thinking how amazing this piece of cinema truly is. It does more then stand up to the test of time and changed the times.

Since I'm into "list making" lately, here's a list of 5 great movies that live up to the test of time.


5. Overboard. Damn Goldie Hawn awesome!


4. A Christmas Story. We have a leg lamp in our living room.


3. Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. The best of all of Star Wars films.


2. The Shining. It will always be scary and I'll never be able to play with my pet axe again.


1. The Wizard of Oz. Brilliant and perfectly cast. You can't have a bad day if you put this movie on.

BRUNCH with Top Chef Contestant JAMIE LAUREN!

This week on Brunch I'm joined by former Top Chef contestant Jamie Lauren. The tattooed San-Fran based executive chef talks about her dream of having a mobile hot dog shop and helps bring back the official BWB pillow fight.

There is also a mystery referee. Can you guess who she is?

It doesn't get much worse then this...

CNN.com just posted a news report about the arrest of the parents of an 8-year-old rape victim. The 8 year old girl was allegedly sexually assaulted by four boys in July and now according to Arizona police she has also been abused by her parents.

Her father, 59, and mother, 47, were arrested Friday in Phoenix on seven counts of child abuse. Police said the parents used sticks, wires and their fists to hit their daughter. Witnesses said the parents left their daughter wandering their apartment complex alone at night, begging for food.

In July the girl was allegedly lured to a storage shed, pinned down and gang-raped by four boys, none of them older than 14.
14????!!!!!


The girl's parents said they felt they had been shamed by their child and blamed her for being victimized.

As a result, the girl was taken from her home and placed in state custody.

This story outrages me. How can this child ever expect to have a normal life after being abused and by so many? Hopefully, one day she'll regain trust in others and find a family or group of friends that will love and protect her.

My wife has said this many times and I agree, anyone convicted of rape should be castrated. It might seem extreme but it will solve the problem.

I don't pray, but I might start now...

I have good news and bad news...

My Ipod hasn't been working for awhile, probably because I dropped it one too many times, so I made an appointment at the Mac Store to get it repaired. The Mac "genius technician", (that's what they call them, geniuses!) told me he had good news and bad news for me.

I asked to hear the bad news first. The bad news was my Ipod was not repairable and my warranty had expired.

umm...that's pretty bad.

I asked to hear the good news. The good news was he was going to give me a new Ipod for free. For Free??? Then I asked the "genius" What's the catch was? He said, "No catch. Your new Ipod has a 90-day warranty."

This guy might not be a "genius" but he is super nice. Because of his niceness I saved $300 by not having to buy a brand new Ipod. YIPPEE!

I felt so successful with my errand running that I decided to get an oil change. My Jeep requires the generic oil for $40 not that fancy stuff. Of course my Jeep decided to be in a "mood" and it needed a bunch of additional work done. My $40 oil change quickly turned into $200. But I couldn't complain since I did get a free Ipod.

The moral of this story is that Mac needs to start making Jeeps.
