What if Modern Family wasn’t the light-hearted comedy that we know and love? What if it was actually… a horror movie? dun dun dun Trevorama took it upon himself to recut the Emmy Award-winning hit show as a 5 minute extended trailer in the form of a horror flick, with the obvious psycho being the gifted Alex Dunphy. It’s always the gifted kids, isn’t it? And yet… I turned out fine Take a look: Impressive what a bit of an edit and some mood music can do, right? —  No real long drawn out point to this post – just Barney Stinson being awesome. Figured it’d cheer those of you still working this late in December up a bit.
Who’s awesome? —
— Those three friendly-and-really-very-politically-correct lads from Top Gear actually managed to offend someone! Who’d have guessed it? According to BBC News the Mexican ambassador to London who ever so slightly irked. The report states that: “Mexico’s ambassador in London has complained to the BBC over “offensive, xenophobic and humiliating” comments made about his country on Top Gear.” What was all the fuss about? The usual. Apparently Richard “Hamster” Hammond, whilst describing a Mexican car, stated that as vehicles reflected national characteristics so “Mexican cars are just going to be lazy”. In case that wasn’t enough, he further clarified that “Mexican cars are just going to be lazy, feckless, flatulent, overweight, leaning against a fence asleep looking at a cactus with a blanket with a hole in the middle on as a coat.” Jeremy Clarkson of course wasn’t going to be left out of the fun. He reassured Hammond that he was confident he “would not receive any complaints about their comments because the Mexican ambassador would be asleep.” Apparently he was wrong. The dude was very much awake. And very much cranky. Aye Carumba! These okes are classic! In an episode of The Office this week Steve Carrell’s Michael Scott and Ricky Gervais’s David Brent bumped into each other at the elevator. Take a look. They could easily have stretched this meeting into a full episode! C’mon! It’s the trailer for the new season of Top Gear – season 16 to be exact. What more do you really need me to write here? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgIMTgpu1lo Oh, and while we’re on the subject: Ben Collins se ma se @#$&! I stand by my earth-shattering announcement made a year ago right here on this site:
You read it here first. You know, in case anyone asks. Why do I get the feeling Jeremy Clarkson was somehow involved in the wording of this shirt label?
Classic!
Spoiler alert – The real name of The Stig is revealed below (dun dun dun)… I assume you lot have been following all of the shenanigans over in the UK about The Stig wanting to release an autobiography. No? Well then, here’s a brief refresher course for those who haven’t been paying attention:
Well that just sucks. The whole concept of the secret identity of The Stig was great, funny, and most importantly, harmless. Was it really necessary to go and bollocks it all up? Apparently so – Mr One minor detail he may have overlooked is that the last time a Top Gear secret identity was revealed, namely that of the original Stig, the producers wasted no time whatsoever in killing him off. And it sounds like floppy-haired bad-jumper-wearing James May may already be considering it if the following article from the Metro newspaper is to be believed:
Consider yourself warned Stiggie. James is pissed! Might be time to dust off the old CV. —
Some enterprising fella has gone to the trouble of compiling a nine minute clip to illustrate the awesomeness that is Mr Barney Stinson.

Please allow the awesome to commence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozLMx1E_Oac Never gets old, I swear! True story. —
— — Sorry folks – it appears that this clip has been removed by YouTube. Stoopid terms of service rules and laws grumble grumble moan complain…

Produced by the same folks at HBO who brought you the brilliant World War II epic series Band of Brothers a few years ago, the new series The Pacific premiered on M-Net last night. This series covers the US Marine Corps’ battles against Japan in the Pacific region during World War II. This is the point where I could immediately launch into a long-winded and drawn out diatribe on the cast, locations, plot and and and but I feel that that is unnecessary – if you enjoyed watching Band of Brothers (and quite frankly who didn’t?) then you’re going to thoroughly enjoy this new series. Simple as that. It is top-notch, thoroughly well-made and definitely worth a look-see. I for one have now block-booked my Wednesday evenings for the next few months to see how it pans out. There, I told you this was a brief review. Who needs pages and pages of analysis when simply stating “it’s great – watch it!” will suffice? Want to own it? — More info available at IMDB and Wikipedia. Catch all the episodes on M-Net – Wednesdays at 21:30.
