1. Paul McCartney's "Freedom" video
Funniest video ever? The sight of England's richest senior citizen
bobbing his head around while poorly lip-synching is hilarious in and of
itself. But then there's the music and the lyrics. Has this
guy ever written and/or performed music before? Levels of cheese
unseen since Wham!'s "Freedom."
2. That '80s Show, coming in January to FOX.
Coming soon to ABC - Family Matters: The Next Generation.
Just you watch.
3. The incessant torture of the Gap's "Give a Little
Bit" holiday advertising campaign
Hmm, faded former 90's pop stars singing a Bic-flicking anthem by late-70's/
early-80's cheese magnates Supertramp? Actually, in retrospect, an
effective way of getting across the holiday message of "punish your family
and friends by giving them clothes for Christmas."
4. New stadiums totaling $1.6 billion for the Mets
and Yankees
Half of which comes from public funds (i.e. taxes). Wasn't it
just a month ago that the city of New York was crying poverty to the federal
government, and begging for a cash infusion? Did they find this windfall
under their couch cushions, or something?
5. *Nsync to appear in Star Wars: Episode 2
Sadly, we are not making this up. We told you Jar Jar would look
benign next to the other crap Lucas will be throwing in. Actually,
this might be good, as long as they're bloodily slaughtered by Federation
forces. Or even better, chopped in half by light sabers. Yeah,
that would be sweet.
