I HEARTILY ENDORSE THIS EVENT OR PRODUCT V: Or,

6:00 AM IS A RIDICULOUS HOUR TO BE AWAKE:

* Interview with Joel McHale of The Soup, which functions as a sufficient reason to have cable. Excerpt:

AVC: Do you think the war on stupid culture is unwinnable? Are we headed for Idiocracy?

JM: Oh, that's a good question. I think the smart people will get even smarter, and the dumb people will get even dumber. But I think they all will enjoy A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila, no matter how you slice it. You know, we keep eating it up. Some of the most intelligent people I know cannot get enough of it. That's a dangerous thing.

AVC: All television-watching will eventually be ironic.

JM: Actually, you hit on a good point there. We should start our own network called IRO where everything you watch is like, "It's ironic that I'm watching this. It's campy. It's contradictory." I think we should start. In fact, you are going to be a billionaire because of what you just said.


* Stuff Christians Like on being too holy.

* Pajiba on the season finale of Lost

* This Megan McArdle post on mixtapes is odd, a little like asking a magician for his secrets. The best way to make a mix cd is through trial and error.
