Finally, a paper doll I can use to masturbate. The Christina Hendricks cutout doll, featuring her character’s outfits from “Mad Men” Season 3. And just what the hell is Matthew Weiner’s excuse for not putting her in lingerie this season?

Marion Barry is getting his own reality show. An unscripted program? I dunno. Marion prefers to have lines. *hip thrust* [We Love DC]
Like that, but more insane. Hey, remember the “X-Men” cartoon from the ’90s? This is the Japanese version. Spoiler: Wolverine gropes Jean Grey on the subway. [Topless Robot]
Check out this boot. Letterman did something cool the other night when he honored the Marine Corps birthday with a Top Ten list for them. STAND BY FOR MILITARY JARGON. it’s just a bust a bunch of REMFs and reservists, one guy with a CAR, and a boot-ass zero. [YouTube]
Thermal imaging of a fart. No, it’s not TV-related. It’s just thermal imaging of a fart. I don’t know, I think it’s cool. Why are you asking so many questions? Who are you, the prosecuting attorney? [Geekologie]
R.I.P. Winona Ryder’s career. She’s starring in a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie. Ouch. But… at least she’s starring? [Pajiba]
Dear God please no. People who attended Oprah’s taping of her interview with Sarah Palin (which airs next week) left with the impression that Palin is still eyeing a gig as the host of a talk show. Ugh. I’ll stop saying bad things about Leno, just please: no Sarah Palin show. [NBC Chicago]
Thank you. James Walcott explains all the negative effects that reality programming has had on both television and society. I found myself nodding in agreement most of the way through this article. [Vanity Fair]


The Christina Hendricks cutout doll
That is not the type of Christina Hendricks doll I’m interested in.
Has not even been to the rifle range yet…
Potential name for Sarah Palin’s educational talk show?
Drawing with feces hosted by Sarah Palin
I would love to see Joel McHale ripping into Palin’s show.
HA! Yeah, I wish I were her publicist… I think I can do a better job at getting her the roles she deserves.
CAR = Combat Action Ribbon.
Also, I love Winona. If she gets tired of doing TV movies, I’ll happily pay her for sex.
I think the plot sounds interesting and I’m sure she’ll be fantastic in it!
You know you’ve made it when Winona’s publicist is commenting on your blog.
Okay, so I checked marinesforever.com’s jargon page. Boot is on there, but no CAR. What the hell is it? WHY DO YOU KEEP US ON THE OUTSIDE??!!
Much like Leno failing, Palin’s show would be outstanding fodder for this site.
I can see that you don’t read the film trades or at least you haven’t lately… Winona Ryder has in fact not fallen too far. It was just announced on Monday that she will star alongside Natalie Portman in Darren Aronofsky “Black Swan!” Also, check out her performance in Rebecca Miller’s “The Private Lives of Pippa Lee.” So she does a TV film… who cares! I think the plot sounds interesting and I’m sure she’ll be fantastic in it! Plus, a lot of big names do TV…So don’t write her off just yet! She is slowly but surely making her way back to the top!! GO WINONA!
I have a CAR! Well, an SUV to be honest
Ugh what a pretentious article. Does Vanity Fair always do that? Try and make the writer seem smarter than they actually are by dressing up his article with examples that are so unknown the reader cant help but feel either stupid or part of an exclusive club? That whole article reeks of superiority and yet the guy is writing about reality TV. While the premise and arguments in the article are sound, the author lost me not halfway through the first page when I realized he was just going to do his own reality tv show type rant, just with obscure references to speak to the cultural elite. That rant was no different than any reality show rant. It was just dressed up nice. Something about a pig and lipstick seems appropriate here even though there is no reason to drag Sarah Palin into a discussion of reality TV other than to take a cheap shot at her. I get it. You write for Vanity Fair. You are dirty liberal who hates anything that isnt your agenda just because it isnt your agenda. I make this assumption when I read anything from vanity fair.
The Sarah Palin Show will end when she decides to give up halfway through the first episode.
SNL did a thermal fart in this sketch: http://www.hulu.com/watch/4261/saturday-night-live-haunted-house
But the upshot of The Sarah Palin Show is that it almost certainly kills her political aspirations. If it flops, she dead as a public figure. If she becomes the White-Trash Oprah, she’ll never give up that sweet teevee scratch to run for political office. And think of all the unintentional comedy inherent in Caribou Barbie talking into a mic for five hours each week.
