I woke up this morning and had at least four messages from my brother. This was really odd since my brother usually doesn’t text me unless it’s really important. Thinking that someone had died or something catastrophic had happened, I checked them before I even got out of bed. But no, it was four frantic messages telling me that I MUST check out this amazing youtube video. (more…)

On Tuesday the Project Runway star told ABC that he hasn’t gotten laid in 29 years! Don’t throw a pity party for Tim Gunn just yet. He says he’s completely fine with it.

Hey guys! It’s Oscar nomination day and you know what that means! Complaining! (more…)

It’s traditional that after winning a national championship, the individuals on a sports teams roster get invited to the White House to meet with the President. This tradition extends to the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and most NCAA programs. Which is why on Monday the 2010-2011 Boston Bruins were in D.C. to meet with President Barack Obama one day before his State of the Union address.

Notably absent from the gathering, however, was Stanley Cup Playoffs Hero Tim Thomas. The Bruins goaltender issued the following statement following his decision to snub the O invite:

“I believe the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the People.

“This is being done at the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial level. This is in direct opposition to the Constitution and the Founding Fathers vision for the Federal government.

“Because I believe this, today I exercised my right as a Free Citizen, and did not visit the White House. This was not about politics or party, as in my opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country. This was about a choice I had to make as an INDIVIDUAL.

“This is the only public statement I will be making on this topic. TT”

For the record, I have no problem with what Thomas decided to do. He’s 100% correct that as a “Free Citizen” he has the right to turn down the trip. I just don’t get why. Seems like a trip to the White House is a pretty rare thing, and to pass up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to protest some vague disappointment in our government as a whole seems silly.

Timmy, if you don’t want to go, send someone else in your place! Take some kid off of the Make A Wish List, or find some liberal looney from Beantown who’d be more than happy to represent you. Slap a fake beard and some goalie pads on Newt Gingrich and send him incognito. It’s like you got a gift certificate for free girl scout cookies but left it in your drawer until it expired. What a waste!

Most dissapointing, however, is Thomas’ lack of explanation. He just points a big ol’ glove hand at all three branches of the government, calls them “out of control,” and refuses to elabaorate. Just dull.

The idea that a professional athlete would turn down an opportunity to meet the President, and then NOT use that very platform to say something completely and blatantly moronic is nearly unbelievable. Claim its a protest of SOPA, blame the CIA for giving Central American dictators cancer, ask serious questions about the super-tall guy at Kim-Jong Il’s funeral, say something racist, Blame Obama for JoePa’s death, do SOMETHING that at least adds some flavor to the whole thing.

If you’re going to turn down a trip to the White House, the least you can do is give us some crazy conspiracy to make fun of you for believing in.

Move over Hollywood because there is a new player in the game high-budget action movies. I am speaking of course about Ghana. Just check out the trailer for the upcoming movie 2016 (the sequel to the wildly successful 12:00 franchise)

Wednesday January 18, 2012 will be a day to remember in internet history. Websites that are used by hundreds of thousands of people all over the planet are shutting down in protest. News sources report that Reddit, Boing Boing, WordPress, Twitpic, and Wikipedia are all closing down their services for 24 hours to protest the SOPA and PIPA legislations.

In the most layman terms: SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) is a bill in the House of Representatives that is intended to help protect the people who create media that can be transmitted easily on the internet. (PIPA is the same except in the Senate.) It’s kind of like Napster all over again. Honestly, I feel like anyone who spent a lot of time making a movie, book, song, etc… should get some sort of monetary reward for it. So this bill, on the surface, doesn’t seem so bad right?

Well, it’s in some of the wording of the bill that these websites and companies are taking umbrage. There is language in HR3261 (SOPA) and S968 (PIPA) that would allow corporations to demand the immediate removal of any website that it sees as affecting their profits. Not only do they demand this outrageous thing, but they want there to be absolutely no judicial oversight. This is not free speech. It’s scandal.

I guess the moral of the story is that you should educate yourself about these bits of legislation and to be active about calling your representatives about it. Just don’t try and look it up on Wikipedia.

If you like comedy there is a show on my local cable access station that you simply must see. The Staten Island Comedy Show is a program put together by a slough of borderline mental patients. It plays on Staten Island and Manhattan cable access and it will blow your mind. (more…)

If you don’t know who Peter Dinklage is and why he won an award at the Golden Globes last night, then that means you haven’t watched “Game of Thrones” on HBO. (more…)

If there is one thing I have learned about living with my roommates’ cats is that you can never quite expect what they are going to do next. Cats are very unpredictable. Sometimes they’re nice. Sometimes you get the death glare. Other times you’re left with several meows and a big looming question mark. No matter what mood they’re in you are in for an interesting experience and plenty of entertainment.

The web cartoon Simon’s Cat never ceases to amaze and entertain me. Every episode explains through antics exactly what it feels like to put up with these fuzzballs of fury every day. And you can’t help but find them adorable even when you know they don’t deserve praise. I guess that’s the life of a cat- mischief that’s encouraged or ignored. It must be nice to lead such a life.

My favorite episode is ‘Let Me In.’ In this one Simon’s cat is desperately trying to get his attention to let him back into the house. Chaos and hilarity ensues.

If you enjoyed this episode then look at some of the others on his page. Whether you are a cat lover or a cat loather, you are guaranteed to find your personal favorites. There’s a little bit of daily entertainment for everyone.

I know what many of you are thinking. This blog is called Entertain Me Daily, and there is nothing even remotely entertaining about Garfield, until now. Lasagna Cat videos have been slowly taking the nation by storm. These YouTube artistic masterpieces usually consist of someone physically acting out a Garfield 3 panel sketch followed by a surreal music video. As one viewer recently put it “its one of those things, are we being fooled? Or is it transcendence?” (more…)
