The raging Baby Einstein debate

This just in… babies don’t turn into geniuses by watching TV and DVD’s! If you don’t believe me just ask, the millions of parents who thought sitting a baby in front of a Baby Einstein DVD unattended, thinking it would single handedly give their kid a Harvard education.
If you are unfamiliar with [...]

Obama’s Fox News embargo

So, I don’t normally get political. I figure there are enough Harvard educated people out there who get paid to complain about the government and its policies and procedures, that I don’t have to add my ignorant voice to the mix.
But this is different, this concerns the media, which I happen to know [...]

The art of a good rant

For those of you who have been tuning in to Rod’s Rants lately hoping to see a good old fashion rantathon, I apologize. As the planning continued, this thing took on a life of its own and got a wee bit bigger than I had originally anticipated. So to make up for that fact, [...]

Why toddler do not belong in tiaras

The very thought of this disturbs me in ways that I can’t even describe… but I will try after you watch this short clip.

How is this even possible? I know this stupid show on TLC has been covering this age old phenomenon since January of this year, but I got to ask the [...]

Presenting the WTF?!?!? moment of this weekend

Watch this hit…

Insane right? Now I know that football is a physical sport and that these types of collisions happen…but with that being said WTF were you thinking Dante Wesley?

Non-flight of the Falcon

Today’s post was going to be about the fine art of Googling oneself, but thanks to the media’s, both social and traditional, relentless coverage and updates of Falcon, the wonder 6 year old and his epic non-flight in his families “experimental” aircraft, that post has been preempted.
For those four of you who may [...]

Un-reality TV: Bad for TV, good for us

I have stated before in this blog that everyone has a voice.. well some people should have the right to that voice revoked… Case and point, every “star” of today’s crop of reality shows. Allow me to start with the show I feel is the biggest waste of air time on the boob tube, [...]

Why the fuss about Phil?

No not the Dr., the self-described “new media entertainer.”

Philip DeFranco is a YouTube phenomenon, one of the many voices on a site filled (pardon the pun) with random, crazy, wacked out people clambering for their 15 minutes.
So how is it out of all those voices, his has been heard over 23 [...]

A very interesting juxtaposition

Found this today thanks to a link posting from a friend on Facebook…watch first, then we talk.

Ledger Live: newspapers and porn share economic bind
