There's No Debating It: Our Sponsors Are Magic

Dodai — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 12:30:00 EDT

On September 26 in 1960, the first televised debate between presidential candidates took place in Chicago. Republican Richard M. Nixon and Democrat John F. Kennedy squared off. Will there be a debate tonight? (CNN says yes!) Well, it's also Olivia Newton-John's birthday, and she always says: "You have to believe we are magic. Nothin' can stand in our way." So! Do with that what you will. And remember, as always, that we are nothing without our sponsors. This week, sincere thanks to: Californication (Showtime), Fancast, Little Britain (HBO), Mike's Election Guide, Sebastian Hair Care, Starwood Hotels, TiVo, Unscrew America. You bring all of our dreams alive! Click here for more information.

We're Totally Throwing Our Hats In The Air For Our Sponsors

Dodai — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 11:30:00 EDT

On this day in 1970, The Mary Tyler Moore Show debuted on CBS. Even if you never really got into the show, you've gotta love that theme song: "Who can turn the world on with her smile? Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile? Well it's you girl, and you should know it! With each glance and every little movement you show it… Love is all around, no need to waste it… You can have a town, why don't you take it? You're gonna make it after all!" (True story: I saved this tune into my voicemail so that I hear it when I pick up messages.) Helping us make it this week: Hotflops, Mike's Election Guide, Sebastian Hair Care, Starwood Hotels, TiVo, Unscrew America. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Sincerely. You can suddenly make all worthwhile, too: Click here for info.

Dodai — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 11:30:00 EDT

In 1882, the Central Labor Union (of New York City) sought to create "a day off for the working citizens." And in 1894, Labor Day became a federal holiday in the U.S. So happily, some of us have a three day weekend! Time to celebrate. And, of course, time to thank the sponsors who make taking a day off possible. This week, many, many thanks to: Cringe (Crown Publishing), Hotflops, Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, Nextbook, Puma, SOAPNet, Starwood Hotels, Unscrew America. Come dance a jig of joy with us!

Our Sponsors Say Turn Around, Bright Eyes

Dodai — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 10:30:00 EDT

There was a solar eclipse today, and it was supposedly visible in China. I called my friend in Hong Kong this morning (7 am my time; 7 pm his time) and asked if he could see it. "We can't see anything because there's too much smog," he said. But! There should be another total eclipse in 2009, and it's totally gonna look like this. And one in 2012. (More info at NASA.) So hold on for that. And we'll be holding on forever. And we'll only be making it right. Because we have amazing sponsors again this week: E!, Eve Online, Nextbook, Puma, SOAPNet, Unscrew America. We really need you tonight. Forever's gonna start tonight. Click here for more information.

Our Sponsors Are Innovators, Not Imitators

Dodai — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 10:00:00 EDT

Big Mama Thornton died on this day in 1984. The blues singer — born in 1926 — was the first to record the hit song "Hound Dog," which became a hit three years later when Elvis covered it. She also wrote and recorded "Ball 'n' Chain," which was a huge success when Janis Joplin covered it. Take a moment to acknowledge a true original… And to recognize our sponsors, who help us pay the rent, eat and buy tampons and stuff. Special thanks to Chelsea Art Museum, AMC's Mad Men, Mighty Leaf Tea, Nextbook, Puma, SOAPNet and Starwood Hotels. We'll never let someone steal your thunder. Click here for information.

The Buzz On Our Sponsors

Dodai — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 12:30:00 EDT

Friends, today is Lil' Kim's birthday. The multi-platinum artist is the only female rapper to have an album get 5 mics — the highest rating — in The Source. She also got a Grammy for being part of the crazytown cover of "Lady Marmalade" with Christina Aguilera, Pink and Mya. In any case, the "black Barbie dressed in Bulgari" has always called herself the Queen Bee, and you gotta love that. Everyone else is just a drone, a worker in your world, right, honey? Speaking of workers, we've got to take care of business and thank our sponsors. This week, the writers on this site can pay rent because of: TLC's Ashley Paige, Chelsea Art Museum, Mighty Leaf Tea, Nextbook and Secret Diary of a Call Girl. Many, many thanks.

"The Jump-Off"

Trick Daddy's "Sugar." LOVE THIS SONG. It's nasty, but I love it.

"All About The Benjamins" from 1998. Ten years ago. I feel old.

"Shut Up, Bitch."

Our Sponsors Are Changing The Course Of History

Anna — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 10:30:00 EDT

On this day in history... bad things happened. (Well, on any day in history bad things happened, but, yeah.) Joseph Smith, the founder of the Church of Latter Day Saints, was murdered (1844); the U.S. made the decision to send troops to the Korean peninsula, where tens of thousands of American soldiers were killed (1950); and Route 66 ceased to be a highway (1985). But! Two good things also occurred: Gordon Brown succeeded British Prime Minister Tony Blair (2007), and, in 2008, we thanked the sponsors who help keep us up and running. Sincere thanks to Chelsea Art Museum, The Beach House, Honda Fit, MGM Grand Foxwoods, & Top Tips for Girls. Want to make it into our living history books? Click here.

Anyhoozle, how about we "take back" random ancient traditions then and make a new rule: Friday the 13ths are super lucky, starting now! Buy yourself some candy, compliment a stranger, play your favorite song on repeat and do a little dance in your chair. We're so frigging lucky to have amazing sponsors again this week: Adele, Camp Camp, Honda Fit, MGM Grand Foxwoods, Nextbook, Showtime. We're crossing our fingers, finding four-leaf clovers and picking up pennies. Future lucky stars, click here.

Happy birthday to Janet Jackson, who turns 42 today! She's usually so soft-spoken, but she was loud, fierce and mouthy in her video for "That's The Way Love Goes." (So was a young Jennifer Lopez!)
