I’ve certainly made fun of Britney Spears plenty. But mostly I feel very sorry for her. Watch this TMZ video and tell me that life wouldn’t screw you up, too. It’s a short clip and it’s sad. If that one’s not impressive enough, check out this one–this kind of hub-bub as she goes for ice-cream. It’s [...]
No, that’s not his real name. Not only have I changed the last name to protect the semi-innocent, I can’t say for sure, exactly who the robotic voice is asking for when we get calls for old Jim Ass (You’d think those robots would speak clearer, though that would take away from the smile I [...]
