12.21.09 LINKS: GOD MADE TWO OF ‘EM!

dangelo-barksdale

D’Angelo Barksdale is REAL! Here’s something for fans of “The Wire”: a high school quarterback who committed to San Diego University is named D’Angelo Barksdale. Stay outta prison, D. [Slanch Report]

GRRRRRRRRR. ABC continues its relentless path to get rid of “Better Off Ted,” even though the show could easily find success in the 8:00 Wednesday slot vacated by “Hank.” [Seattle P-I]

Wait, the drum-playing gorilla was an ad? The ten best ads of the decade, according to Ad Age. [Wallet Pop]

Alyssa Milano as a Guidette. In this video, Milano goes from no makeup (yikes) to made up as a “Jersey Shore” girl (double yikes). [Funny or Die]

British court: Stormtroopers are public domain. Because I love examples of nominative determinism, I have to point out that the judge in this case is named Justice Mann. EDIT: Awww man, Justice is the title, not the name. Whatever, I’m still naming my kid Justice. I want him  to grow up to be a superhero. [Gamma Squad]

Jack Bauer, the 21st Century’s Superman. As part of the blog’s cultural fin-de-décennie series, Charge Shot pays homage to the man who fights America’s fears. [Charge Shot]

David Simon interview! Get a crappy haircut, put on your skinny jeans, and read this interview from Vice Magazine. There are some pretty metal quotes from Simon. [VICE]

‘Scrubs’ and ‘Better off Ted’ were the only sitcoms on TV I actually liked. Figures.

Thanks for linking to that great article on David Simon, Uff. And if anyone loves the Wire but hasn’t read Simon’s “The Corner,” or “Homicide: A Year of Killing on The Street” you should definitely check them out.

J.L. White says:

2 D’Angelo Barkdales? This reminds me of the time when a show called Police Cops came on, featuring a rich, handsome, kick-ass cop named J.L. White. But the producers retooled the very next episode, and suddenly the character was an overweight masturbator who had a large freezer full of decapitated hooker heads.

There is also a Ziggy Sobatka that is trying to make the football team at Notre Dame but is having a hard time proving himself worthy of being on the team.

Smegga says:

There is something about Alyssa Milano that makes me stupid. Despite the tattoos, lack of a career (now anyway) and the number of baseball players she has bedded, if she asked me to fly over to San Francisco and take her garbage out right now, I’d do it.

Re: the nominative determinism angle: What’s crazy is that they’re ALL named that:
