Don’t get me wrong — I love Ellen Degeneres. I’m just so disappointed in the slogan the marketing guys are using.

Twitter with me in this moment and others after the jump.

Movies, TV, Music — the Arts

Billboard for Ellen: “I watch because she’s my BFF.” And the superscript: “Watch the best part of your day.” Why not live it? #
Prince reclaims the internet? Or just his art? #
OJ Simpson is a suspect in a robbery. He’s cooperating. So maybe he didn’t do that crime. Would be ironic if he were convicted of something. #

Around Town

Battlestar Galactica — the last season? Or The Last Supper?

What the frak?!? Coasting down Melrose Avenue this morning, I looked up and saw this image. Does it look familiar to you?

How Criminals & Lawyers Use Monster.com & Other Job Sites to Invade Your Privacy (and How to Stop Them)

You’re out of work. You want a job. Or you have a job, but you want a better one. You submit your resumé online. But did you know that makes you a target for criminals and lawyers to use your information?

MySpace — A Place for Dead People

I see dead people. On MySpace. The first was a profile a friend of mine had in his Friends list. It was his teenage brother, who died a few years ago in a sad turn of events. The profile exists as a tribute & a marker, a gravestone in cyberspace. But I didn’t seek out [...]
