'30 Rock' Goes Live — Again!

0 Comments · Wednesday, April 25, 2012
If I had to pick fictional television characters to represent 2000s-era humans for a future generation, 30 Rock’s Liz Lemon would be my No. 1. Tina Fey’s character, while over the top, really represents the average snack food-loving workaholic.

I Just Can't Get Enough

Jac's favorite recent pop culture and Internet findings

Meme-mania has officially ensued. Read: whenever South Park makes an episode about something, I start paying attention. A few weeks ago, "What _____ Thinks I Do/What I Really Do" took over the Internets like a pop culture wildfire (Spoiler Alert: No one thinks or cares about your boring job). Now, a Tumblr page created by a couple law students in February is attracting millions of viewers — daily.#whatshouldwecallme is simple, browsable, funny and therefore mindlessly addictive. The bloggers take popular clips from movies, TV and YouTube videos, turn them into animated gifs and stamp a personal anecdote on it. You can tell they stem from inside jokes, but most of them are relatable and laugh-out-loud funny (especially for '90s sitcom and reality TV lovers). For example: When people tell me I shouldn't be reading blogs when I'm on deadline:Twenty-plus years ago, Kirk Cameron was a Tiger Beat-worthy hottie, known to all kids of the '80s as Mike Seaver, his character on Growing Pains (and real life brother to Candace Cameron, DJ from Full House). Mike was a good-hearted troublemaker, always getting wrapped up in a scheme. But when Cameron hit 17, he became a born-again Christian and soon objected to any risque lines or scenes in Growing Pains. Yeah, this is coming from a guy who's character had a best friend named Boner (RIP).While born-again Christians can be mildly annoying, you can't really hate on Cameron for wanting to keep a family program kid-friendly. And post-Growing Pains he went on to avoid drugs, tranny hookers and other scandals associated with former child stars. Great job, Kirk! Unfortunately, he just couldn't quietly fade into oblivion; he had to spew his crazy all over the media. And let me define crazy: He believes homosexuality is "unnatural" and "destructive" and that evolution has Nazi ties.Thankfully, other (sane) former child stars have come together to speak out against Cameron. And they're a bunch of CCOCKs. There are countless blogs out there devoted to ugly trends somehow accepted by fashionistas, and there's a place in my heart for all of them. I'm not going to wear harem pants and neon crop tops in public, but that doesn't mean I don't want to look at them online! My new favorite is Heavy Browsing — two hilarious women take on some of the more ridiculous fashion trends, like sneaker heels, boyfriend jeans and cut-outs. Want to give into fug-tation and try a questionable trend? These bloggers show you how to pull them off without ending up on a "Worst Dressed" list.   Finally, enjoy this video of James Franco, looking like KFed for an upcoming Spring Break movie, singing co-star Selena Gomez’s "Love You Like a Love Son." How did he manage to make that swoon-worthy?
