Nelson Ha-Ha’s Old Media

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008 Posted in Behold, the Internet, Media | 1 Comment »

This just cracks me up: Leave it to the Simpsons to poke fun at old media (though aren't they getting kind of old?). Ha-ha, indeed. (link via Carl Bliss, and my apologies for the crappy video site—couldn't find the clip on ...

Don’t Believe Everything You Hear

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008 Posted in Behold, the Internet | 2 Comments »
