America Is a Bunch of Idiots, but New Jersey Apparently Is Not

host Rider is the number-one movie in America? What the fuck is wrong with you people? What is it about those commercials that made you want to go watch it? Were you all drunk and laughing? I hope so, because that's how I want to enjoy the movie.

But, seriously, you people flocked to this thing? That's inconceivable! I'm incredulous.

To make matters worse, Ghost Rider took over the top spot from Norbit, a movie so bad one critic said "[f]rom start to finish, Norbit is dismally unfunny, inspiring this Sign of the Apocalypse observation: Big Momma's House 2 was better." When did the black-guy-in-a-fat-woman-suit genre become the new "it" thing in Hollywood? Oh, that's right, around the same time America decided that The Nutty Professor was the height of avant garde postmodern expressionism. Fuck you.

The New Jersey Thing

So, gay couples in New Jersey can get civil unions starting today. Although I wish that the legislature had decided to grant these couples the right to call their unions marriages, the civil unions are functionally equivalent. This is a step in the right direction, and I'm happy to see another state decide that discriminating against gay couples is morally and legally wrong (at least under various state constitutions).

In other news, the world has not stopped spinning on its axis.

I was at the cinema last night and saw several people going to see Ghost Rider. And every single one was a mean-looking motorcycle guy. So, there's your audience.
