It is done! Power comes from the barrel of a phone cam!
From now on, every time I flip my new cell phone open and enter the noisome entrails of telephony, I will be greeted by this snarling Cerberus:
Yeeeeeesssssssssssss!!
In other news, I had the chance to watch "The Devil Wears Prada," which played out like a made-for-TV movie that happened to have Meryl Streep in it. Streep's character, based on a character in a novel (that was itself a composite based on the author's actual experiences at the offices of a fashion magazine), was the best thing about the movie (Stanley Tucci, it should be noted, was also excellent). I've read that the print version of the Streep character is far more evil. It's too bad we don't get to see full-scale diva-evil on screen; I would have enjoyed that.
My own idea of ultimate evil, admittedly unmarketable, would have been more along the lines of "The Devil Wears Pandas," because the sight of a smoking demon wrapped in charred panda corpses is more frightening to me than a gray-coiffed Meryl Streep in Prada.
I suppose "The Devil Wears Panties" would be frightening as well, as would "The Devil Wears Nada," a movie in which the devil would be depicted as an enormous ambulatory penis that ejaculates flame and maggots. Put Anne Hathaway in that film!

ReplyDeleteIt is really hard to stomach watching this when most of us have had it so relatively easy. I do think that a lot of the U.S.'s educational problems could be solved if students truly understood the value of living in a free society and having the opportunity to obtain an open minded education. Too bad we live in a free society dominated by special interest groups (be they religious, political, environmental, automotive, union, agricultural, immigration, race based, ethnicity based, etc.). Too bad there isn't one human based.

ReplyDeleteHow about "The Devil Wears Dalmations?" (of course, Glen Close is no Meryl Streep, but you get the idea)
