Family Guy launches exclusive web-series

Get ready for the Cartoon Cavalcade! Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane will debut his multimillion-dollar cartoon web-series September 10th.  It’s a unique deal not only because online exclusivity allows for less censorship but the 50, two-minute shorts will be distributed through Google AdSense websites.

But The Movies Are Always Open

A theme song for Holiday Matinee if we ever heard one. “Sometimes You Have to Work on Christmas” by Harvey Danger. Give a listen to the lyrics.

For people who know how to dress

Sweet new fall line by Curse of the Multiples for Industry Clothing.  BTW, Industry’s website is pretty badass.  Just saying.

Vicky Christina Barcelona

Poster Producing Machine

You may have noticed their work at summer music festivals around the country, but Chicago-based screen printer The Bird Machine is putting out some of the coolest event and band posters on the market. A select number are available for sale online.

Liv Tyler still hot

Liv Tyler is not only a hot single mom but cover-model for The Gap’s new, fall campaign. Did I mention my cat is named Lucy after Tyler’s role in Stealing Beauty?

Proportion distortion, aka the 9-inch diet

Over 45 million Americans diet every year.  Yet despite all the “OMG, I lost twelve pounds in twelve days” bullshit, 95% of all dieters regain their lost weight within five years. Did I mention Americans continue to spend 1 to 2 billion dollars a year on diet programs? Let’s face it fatty, diets don’t work and two top agency gurus are out to prove it with their new book, “The 9 Inch Diet“.
