isn’t it great when a pop star gets caught lip-synching? ashlee simpson had a mishap on saturday night live, and then she blamed it on her band. i wouldn’t be surprised if she couldn’t sing at all. these days, you just need one of these in the studio and you can produce high quality vocals without lessons! then you bring a computer, a backing band, and some cleavage on your world tour and you’re officially a pop star. but i can’t be too harsh. it’s probably a lot of work to lip-synch like the milli or the vanilli.

also check out viral videos at ifilm.com for more classics, such as shatner doing rocketman or four girls playing d&d. good to the last drop.

i didn’t quite know what i was watching until it was over. i mean, i knew it was a movie (i ♥ huckabees), but it was all happening so fast. the movie centers around the character albert (played by jason schwartzman), as he tries to find the meaning of life, or more specifically, why he keeps coincidentally running into a sudanese man. he hires a couple “existential detectives” (lily tomlin and dustin hoffman) to work his case and the rest is a happy rollercoaster ride of extraordinary pleasantness. you don’t really know where it’s going to end up, but the journey is the true joy. i liked it.

i saw team america: world police a few days ago. it wasn’t brilliant or gut-busting funny, but it had its moments. there isn’t much any more that trey parker and matt stone haven’t made fun of, yet they still find new ways to get people all riled up. the best thing about this movie was the soundtrack, which featured unrelenting lyrics about montages and how much that pearl harbor movie sucked. still, i felt like the movie could have been better.

i have secured katohater.com and i will be posting this blog here from now on.

one of the things i love about being a consumer is how easy and rewarding it is to complain. for example, my roommate was eating a pepperoni pizza hot pocket when he noticed it had no filling inside. it was funny, but also a little depressing. how did this defective pocket get past the quality inspectors? i decided to visit the internets and explain to the hot pocket company that they need to have better quality control. yesterday, i received a letter from “nestle usa hand-held foods group” explaining that they are sorry and, basically, that they will get to the bottom of it. then the letter also says i will receive a $5 partial refund check in 10-14 days. boo-yah! i highly suggest you exercise your right as a consumer and complain about everything until you are blue in the face. just don’t always expect it to pay off. that way, when it does pay off, you’ll be more excited.
