    Revenge ends its first season this evening and, after a very strong start, it is safe to say the show has become a bit uneven recently. Not to fear however, as all that can be changed with the start of season two. We just need some new characters and some new storylines. So, to help our friends at ABC, we have thought of five new plotlines for the show and the actors that could carry them out.

When our eyes close and rest, the kid we have purposely neglected and trapped deep inside in our subconscious, awakens and asks a bit of the stolen happiness the few and the powerful stole from us, claims the right to live unconcerned and free despite the grey reality we have to indulge and endure.

    Godly graffiti artists are brightening up a Spanish church in a bid to boost morale as the country plunges head-first into a double dip recession. Rector Ramon Mor drafted in 'beatific Banksy' Rudi and his friend House to spray-paint his church with Romanesque murals after spotting their work online. 'If people did not know the mural was made by graffiti artists, then due to the quality of the drawings and the size of the brush strokes (so thin and perfect), they would not know at all.

    This week's Wax Paper Pop Art is all about big hairy apemen.  Whether it's the hilarious misadventures of an unruly adopted sasquatch with the 1987 Topps Harry and the Henderson's card and sticker set (which I talked about here)… …the weird romance and ennui of the master of the apes, from the 1976 Topps King Kong card and sticker set… …or these next two wrappers from 1967 and 1969 (respectively) featuring the Topps Planet of the Apes card sets. Which reminds me, I need to break out my Planet of the Apes cartoon DVD and watch it again…

    Brian over at Cool & Collected decided to use a suggestion I offered as a League topic this week.  It dovetails nicely with the release of the Avengers flick in theaters, and centers on the idea of a great pop culture crossover between heroes or stories that we'd really like to see.  I'm not typically one that spends any energy on fan-fiction, but I have to admit that I had an idea that I would love to see come to fruition some day.  With all the 80s remakes and franchise re-launches getting produced, I think it’s the perfect time to revisit some films from the decade…

    Associated Press FRESNO, Calif. — Just in time for spring snowmelt: a webcam pointed at one of Yosemite National Park's main attractions, the soaring 2,425-foot Yosemite Falls. The HD camera went live on North America's tallest fall Monday, allowing anyone with computer access to watch in stunning detail as shadows race across the towering granite monolith over which Yosemite Creek crashes in a series of plunges and cascades.

If you can't find work, are paying $4 a gallon for gas, have a loved one fighting in Afghanistan, and are struggling with rising food costs, is this really what anyone cares about? It's very relieving to know that the economic crisis is over, because the only thing the Democrats want to talk about is birth control, gay marriage, and Mitt Romney's 1980's road trip with his dog, Seamus. So with Obama's orchestrated gay marriage roll out, Americans have to suffer yet another distraction from everything Obama has done (and failed to do)…

As far as failing to acknowledge gods, well, he was ahead of his time perhaps. And if he was in fact “introducing new…

    Usher is known for his onstage spectacles, so imagine our surprise when Usher opted not to dance for much of his SNL performances. His performance of "Scream," his high-energy dance single, was instead a half-choreographed, half-backing track laced mishmash. Chris Brown is always good for cutting a rug during his dance tracks, but in order to make that happen, he trades off dancing for live singing. Maybe Usher was really eager to show off his vocal chops. And if that's the case, his "Scream" performance didn't really make that case too well as it relied pretty heavily on that backing track…

There are currently 22 of them. The company that creates them, ICANN, has been accepting applications for Generic TLDs, or gTLDs. Google, along with other big name companies have plans of using these as early as next year. Google, who owns YouTube, may end up purchasing .google and .youtube.

    Fox’s “The X Factor USA” has added yet another former Disney star to its revamped judging lineup. Nineteen-year-old Demi Lovato, who starred in Disney’s hit movie, “Camp Rock,” has signed an agreement to be one of the new judges for season two of Simon Cowell’s popular talent competition show. Although “The X Factor” was hardly a failure, it did fall short of the 20 million viewers per episode that Simon Cowell had predicted the UK import would draw. Fairly or unfairly, the cast of judges took the brunt for the viewership numbers being…

    West Coast beach bums Best Coast released their much-anticipated sophomore album The Only Place yesterday. Though I sometimes cringe at their band name, being a born-and-raised East Coaster, I can’t argue with the sentiment behind this record. “Why would you live anywhere else? / We’ve got the ocean, got the babes, got the sun, we’ve got the waves / This is the only place for me.” That sounds pretty nice to me. I guess if you’re pretty and in a successful indie rock band and are constantly soaking in the California rays, you don’t feel the need to…

    I do not routinely watch Basketball Wives on VH1, because I do not care to watch Black women represent themselves in such a negative light. Unfortunately, I caught a glimpse of the show while channel surfing and was appalled at how Tami Roman behaved on national television.

The pressure has been building ever since, where many people have been particularly critical of the shows direction and Tami’s rude and disturbing behavior.  Tami took the…

Alexander, 31 invoked the same “stand your ground law” defense as did George Zimmerman when he shot and killed Trayvon Martin. In this case, the incident also took place in Florida, but Alexander was indicted and subsequently found guilty for aggravated assault. In some cases, rapist and some murderers get sentenced to less than 20 years. Not only is this sentence excessive it is clearly a…

    Many of you know I lost my grandmother on March 2, 2012. Some of you are aware of the closeness and love we shared. My grandmother was my mother and father. Like some of you reading this, I grew up without my mother and father. My granny filled in the gap and raised me. We had some very challenging times, but my granny sacrificed everything to make sure I was OK. She went without, so I could have. I can still recall all the beautiful things she did for me, but the greatest thing she showed me was unconditional love.     My grandmother was always meek, humble, gentle, loving, nurturing and…

    There once was a place they called Comcast which pounded my ass with great bombast. They stuck it to me with a slick hidden fee, as they laughed on the phone with unbridled glee. Two hundred a month may as well be a grand, ‘cause I can’t watch what I pay for on demand. And instead of an answer, there’s questions and lies, with a glimmer and glint of glee in their eyes. They bend me over a table and call me a skank and all the while expect me to thank them ’cause they think I’m a rube – and oh yeah, that’ll be $300 for lube.

  • Let’s Bomb Belgium, Already

    MikeStafford

    If we’re going to go after Iran, let’s make a quick stop in Belgium and take them out, first. The US has long been known by our proclivity for dropping bombs. We are good at it. In fact, it may be our best skill. Unfortunately, we often seem to get “locked on” in a different kind of way that makes the rest of the world look at us as less-than-not-racist. Lately, we’ve been a little too excited about bombing brown people who pray to the northeast (at least from here). Think about it – Iraq, Afghanistan, Iraq again, Libya, and the Gingriches of the world aiming for Iran to be next.

    Japanse comedians Ketch (red mohawk) and HIRO-PON (yellow mohawk) make up the funny sketch performance group, Gamarjobat. As interesting as their physical comedy and mime is their name, Gamarjobat, which is the Georgian language for 'hello'. This Georgia is not the southeastern state of America, rather, it's a state in the Caucasus region of Eurasia, nestled in the border separating Europe and Asia, between the Black and the Caspian sea. I'm not sure about you, but all this cultural mish mash reminds me of an Alphaville song.Gamarjobat's later performances features many more new material…
