Follow the finger

The latest in a line of bizarre Web sites promoting products that have slipped the public consciousness is Butterfinger's Follow the Finger The finger is a little scary though (what made the finger brown?). Best line: "Feel free to pass the time by playing with our monkey." Monkey aside, there's lots to play with, but the Winterfresh site still holds the number one spot for me, if only for the more crude, yet cleaner look.

I had to say a few things about last night's much-anticipated South Park episode. The flap over the Isaac Hayes departure came to a head, and they killed him off rather spectacularly. He was part of a cult called the "Super Adventure Club" that took indecent liberties with minors (I think that's the nicest way of putting it). Of course they were likening Scientologists to a bunch of child molesters, but that's to be expected from South Park. Basically they said he was brainwashed but they wanted to remember all the fun they had over the years and it wasn't his fault for leaving, it was the "Super Adventure Fun Club."



Death by grizzly bear and mountain lion.

And so he was resurrected a la Anakin Skywalker into a child molesting half-robot-half-human.



I don't know if they will keep him on as a recurring character or not, but do we really care? I think South Park lost its relevance a long time ago with the invention of Adult Swim.

So with that out of the way, it's time for some Idol News

In this week's TV Guide, there's a quote from Ace Young where he comments on his being in the bottom three last week. Ace said that "he now knows that he can't just coast by on his looks." I sure did read him right. What a conceited wierdo/psycho.

Also in Idol news, Paula has blamed her strange behavior on Simon. She says that when the camera is not looking, Simon is whispering weird things into her ear and freaking her out to the point that she can't complete sentences. Yeah, right. I don't think it's Simon, but it could be those voices in her head she's hearing. She's a wack job.

On to the recap: So Kevin was buried in sand, and his head actually looks proportionate! I think this is pretty much what he thought the women of the world saw him as...until last night.



They should have left him there. And what's with the David Letterman 'do?

So, I got the bottom three right (along with just about everyone else.



I was so happy when they announced that Lisa was staying. At least she's forgettable. Unfortunately the other two are burned into my brain. Here's what they looked like when they heard the news they were staying.



I think Lisa definitely thought she was going home...and I would be suprised if Bucky had a thought at all.

So that leaves us with little Kevin. I am so happy he is going home. I realized he reminds me of Season One's Jim Verraros with the wierd faces while singing. But it seems Jim is doing very well for himself now that he's out of the closet.



So, adios Kevin! Sorry you had to come crashing down so hard. Poor little guy. America doesn't love you all that much.

That's it for today...work is jumping again...more tomorrow...
