Sherlock is Great, Sherlock Holmes Looks Like Shit, and the BBC Shoot Themselves in the Foot Again
So, I just finished watching season 2 (series 2 to you Brits) of Sherlock and it continues to be great television. Sherlock the BBC television series is not to be confused with Sherlock Holmes the Robert Downey Jr. movies. Although admittedly I have not seen the 2009 movie or its sequel, I think they look like standard Hollywood shit. Unlike these movies, the Sherlock television series is a retelling of the Sir. Arthur Conan Doyle stories in a modern day setting. The show focuses on a genius private detective (i.e., Sherlock), which is played by an actor with what must be the most English-sounding name ever devised — Benedict Cumberbatch Dr. Watson is played by Martin Freeman (the Jim character in the British version of The Office and the new Bilbo Baggins), a British veteran recently returned from service in Afghanistan.

Until this jerkoff is publicly humiliated as the bearer of false witness (read: lying motherfucker), hypocrite, sanctimonious prig, home-schooled, socially retarded, lobbyist dick sucking piece of shit abortion that he is, tarred and feathered, ridden out of town on a rail, and sent to slink back into whatever rectum he oozed out of, this gif stays on the front page. You’re welcome.

National Funeral Committee Wants Tanks, Guns
So, I am reading this article on CNN about the death of Kim Jong Il and sort of floating in the middle of the article is this super-odd quote:
“We should increase the country’s military capability in every way to reliably safeguard the Korean socialist system and the gains of revolution,” the National Funeral Committee said.
WTF? There are so many things messed up about that statement. Admittedly, crazy was always the normal for North Korea.

All You Can Do Is Give That Woodchuck a Tuna Melt!
I just found out about the “Bad Lip-Reading SoundBite” series highlighted recently over at Funny or Die (via BadLipReading.com), which matches video of presidential hopefuls to gibberish (not really that different from real life now that I think of it). Awesomeness abounds as you hear Herman Cain freak out about big potato moths, Rick Perry requesting goats for the computer industry, Ron Paul promising free bananas, or Bachmann discussing proper etiquette for prison parties.
The site also has done the same with a few music videos (see their remake of Michael Bublé’s I Haven’t Met You Yet video into the much catchier Russian Unicorn — also Michael Bublé’s video response).

Bloomberg Must Have Gotten an ‘F’ in American History
At a press conference on the recent crackdown to remove the Occupy Wall Street protestors from a park in New York City, Mayor Micheal Bloomberg declared that the first amendment did not give people the right to erect tents in a public space. If I had a time machine, I would like to take Bloomberg back to the Hooverville in Washington D.C. in 1932 and ask Bloomberg to tell the Bonus Army that they were exceeding their right of free speech. I am shocked that the mayor of a major American city doesn’t know enough about history to know that protestor encampments have a long history in this country, including many famous examples.

The Limits of Couch Potato Education
One of the great promises of the explosion of television choices with the arrival of cable television was the expanded educational potential. As hard as it is to talk about education and television in the same sentence this has to some extent been true. I love learning about certain topics outside of my normal experience and job. Two areas in particular science and history — both topics with one or more dedicated cable/satellite channels.
FUN FACT: when zombie einstein is in motion time slows for him relative to other zombies!

The Beginning of the End of Democracy?
The EU debt crisis seems to be a real test of whether people believe in the concept of democracy — funny that it began where democracy also began. It was troubling to see markets worldwide freak out that Greek voters may have decided whether to take an EU bailout package. Aghast, voters cannot be trusted to make such an important decision, can they? Now with Italy maybe heading toward a technocrat government to solve its debt issues, you have to wonder why faith in democracy has eroded so much.
where democracy was born (and died) ?
