Irate Red Robots and Glasses of Warm Milk III

It’s time for another look back at stuff which got me going last week, as I hand out Robots and Milk to lucky, lucky recepients, no matter how conceptual they may be.

irateredrobot.jpgA very Irate Red Robot to the Canadian media’s handling of the “breaking events” of
the Dawson College shooting. Everyone was so busy trying to out-scoop each other, they muddled an already chaotic situation by passing off rumours and hearsay as “latest developments.” Seriously, how do you go from having four gunmen (one captured, two shot dead, one committed suicide) to a single one at the end of the day? How about reporting on four dead students to end up with one? I can only imagine the stress the parents were under as they listened to this garbage, waiting for their kids to call.

irateredrobot.jpgWhich leads me to my next Irate Red Robot, which will pay a visit to Bell and Telus, whose cellular services shut down due to “overload” when word got out of the shooting. The Telus spokesperson said it was normal for this to happen in times of crisis, like on 9/11 in 2001. Not to downplay the tragedy, but aren’t the stakes in these two cases light years different? There were probably a lot less people on the phone last Monday than there were when the World Trade Center collapsed. Bell and Telus need to beef up their infrastructure so that they can handle more than a few hundred “extra” calls at once. It’s not quite comforting to know how fast our mobile phone service will die on us in a time of need.

glasswarmmilk.jpgThere’s a nice Glass of Warm Milk waiting for the developers of the Night of Bush Capturing video game. It’s a Quake-like first person shooter where you, a jihadi, go on a glorious rampage, taking down all sorts of infidel Western scum to finally go toe-to-toe with ol’ Dubya himself in the final level. You might want to take a shot or two at Tony Blair or those Hezbollah pricks along the way, too. Knowing this, you may ask “why the Glass of Warm Milk?” Well, I know when I’m feeling pissed, a couple of rounds of Metroid Prime always helps get the bad out instead of taking it out on someone. And God Allah Caesar’s Ghost knows that if a bunch of folks are in dire need of a good old fashioned venting session, it’s terrorists!

glasswarmmilk.jpgAnother Glass of Warm Milk to the programming folks at Teletoon who have finally got their acts together and bought the rights to Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim shows. Even better, their daily Detour programming (after 9pm) includes stuff like Family Guy and Futurama, then serves a generous helping of Adult Swim staples like Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Robot Chicken, The Venture Bros., Squidbillies, Tom Goes To The Mayor, 12 oz. Mouse, The Boondocks, Stroker and Hoop… it’s Adult Swim every night of the week! If it weren’t for that terrible, terrible Tripping the Rift series, it would be virtually flawless.

irateredrobot.jpgAn Irate Red Robot goes to breasts being at the center of blogger drama. Apparently, looks do make a blogger’s credibility. Next: pics of Warren Kinsella’s ripped, comforting pecs.

glasswarmmilk.jpgI’ll give a nice Glass of Warm Milk to anyone who can suggest to me a really good online RSS reader. I’ve tried Rojo but it’s a little buggy with some feeds and Google Reader is fine but lacks some punch.

    Is that second ticket for me?

    I own both you guys.

    Mmm. Decemberists.

    Best shows ever (second only to Cursive). And such brilliance.

    As for RSS readers, I’ve been using Bloglines, which has been handier than I ever expected it to be. Bitacle looks interesting but I’ve no idea how to work the fucker.

    On top ot that? Having 200 + feeds really just hinders the news process, I feel. But, y’know, fuck it. I’ve got Scary Go Round to read.

  5. by Colin:

    Okay, wait.

    So, let me get this straight: Althouse was calling Feministing on standing in front of Bill Clinton?

    Is there anything to this? So she’s wearing a shirt that’s tight. I’m curious as to how that justifies any sort of anything. Ever.

    The weirdest thing is that Althouse felt justified in this. Saying things like ‘So don’t assume you’re the one representing feminist values here’ while pointing out that, yes, indeed, Jessica has breasts?

    Gasp. True feminism, Althouse. Totally. Jessica, obviously should have dressed in as loose and concealing clothing as possible. Y’know. The feminist way.

    Burka style.

  6. by Mike:

    Yeah, Colin, I think we all got a front-row seat on the war between the “waves” of feminism. It’s a splintered, splintered affair. That notwisthanding, Althouse went off the deep end. If she’s attacking Jessica what’s-her-name for visiting Clinton because he was a flirt and since he’s a flirt he’s disrespectful to women, holy christ, all of mankind is in trouble. We’re all pigs, apparently.

    She thought she was being cute with her catty intern comments and just let everything boil over into something else.

    If I were petty, I’d think that Althouse was pissed that she wasn’t invited to the dinner to look as awkward as everyone else. I mean, come on, NOBODY looks their best in that there photo. Clinton looks like he’s drowning. Hell, there are some people who can’t even be seen. The picture is a hasty group pic taken with a point-and-shoot camera. It’s the A-list blogger’s equivalent of having your eyes closed.

    Funny how nobody has mentioned how gay AmericaBlog’s John Aravosis looks.

    Of course, I am joking.

    Burkas all around!

    I’ve got an Amazon gift certificate burning holes in my pocket,
    and I want to get the most bang for my buck.

    Enter the Secret Amazon Web Pages:

    http://tinyurl.com/38sojf

    This is where you’re going to find the “latest sales, rebates, and limited-time offers” from
    Amazon, and you can score some pretty deep discounts if you’re a savvy shopper.

    Next, there’s the special Sale link. This is open every Friday, and ONLY on Fridays.

    You can find the same good discounts here as you would in hidden Deals, although some
    Fridays you can really get lucky and make off like an Amazon bandit - I’ve seen discounts
    there as low as 75% off sticker price.

    UNIBET also had the wonderful idea to join a support group for dedicated players which was specially made to explain the rules and protocols involved in the business of online gambling, including sports betting.

note: nothing is off topic, go nuts; however, please stay respectful to everyone here or I'll send little pink bunnies after you. BUNNIES WITH MACHINE GUNS. Also, I'll ban anyone who abuses the comments. What is considered abuse? Think the opposite of "common sense."
