Britney sacks BreatheHeavy.com

Published on Apr 3rd, 2009

comic strip | panel 1 - GREG: Oh... Em... GEE! Britney fansite BreatheHeavy.com got sent a CEASE AND DESIST letter!!!; BRETT: Do you... often visit Britney Spears fan sites? |comic strip | panel 2 - GREG: Um, B.H. is only, like, my HOME PAGE!! Haven't you ever noticed BreatheHeavy.com in your Firefox history when I borrow your Mac? |comic strip | panel 3 - BRETT: Yeah... I just... always figured you were using my laptop for mp3 phone sex porn. |comic strip | panel 4 - BRETT: I'm weirdly MORE creeped out by THIS.; GREG: BreatheHeavy.com is, like, the FIFTH ESTATE of Spearsian gossip!!! |

Yes, this is all shockingly TRUE TRUE TRUE, people. Britney’s dad has decided to shut down BreatheHeavy.com, one of the biggest Britney Spears fan sites on the net. The rationale was “copyright violations”, but the real rationale is a myopic belief that he can somehow control the information out there about his insane popstar daughter.

The website has responded by continuing to do what it does, but pixelating all the images and referring to Britney Spears as Brittany Speers.

Watchmen movie as therapy

Published on Apr 6th, 2009

comic strip | panel 1 - Bryan took my advice and finally got over his ex-wife.; What was the advice? |comic strip | panel 2 - Sense memory shock therapy! I told him to go see Watchmen.; Watchmen? |comic strip | panel 3 - Uh huh. Her and Bryan's wedding song was "Hallelujah".; Oh my. |comic strip | panel 4 - Yes, the most iconic memory of their marriage-; -replaced by Skinemax-y shots of owl-based cosplay. |

I enjoyed the Watchmens, by the way. Especially after I saw it a second time.

I’m a huge fan of the book, and it was never going to beat the book for me, but I think watching it the second time help me take it in more as a movie rather than thinking, “Holy cats how are they going to do this and that scene and his costume is slightly weird and THERE’S NO SQUID!!!!”

So I liked it.

But I hated that sex scene.

EDIT: Let’s take “Hallelujah” back! The Leonard Cohen version is dead to me now. And the Jeff Buckley version is overplayed, too. But how about this David Bazan version? Leave any other good ones in the comments.
