The Offense of the Defense of Marriage
In a recent episode of Futurama, the professor is faced with a group protesting the teaching of evolution in school. The protest is lead by an orangutan, Dr. Banjo, who claims that if evolution (which is just a theory “like gravity or the shape of the Earth”) were fact, there would be no ‘missing link’ […]
A Natural Disaster
Earthquakes, volcanos, tidal waves, Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin. Is there no end to the nightmares we must suffer as residents of planet Earth? Here in America, the greatest country that was ever invented by rich white men for rich white men, we're catching up on the BBC's programme of animals having sex with each other and killing each other while having sex with each other, and they called it "Life," even managing to keep a straight face doing it. And while the lucky residents of the British Isles were listening to the high-definition sounds of brutality narrated by David...
More → Ebert’s Game
Hello friends and enemies. Some time in the past, film critic Roger Ebert stated that video games are not art - scratch that - can never be art, like film can be. As a film critic, there's probably some built-in prejudice to his position. Additionally, it would appear that he has never played any video games at all, let alone some (or one) of the titles that are often cited as artistic - examples being Shadow of the Colossus, Psychonauts and Fallout.
Our immediate thought regarding the debate was, "why does it matter?" Why would Mr. Ebert be concerned with stating...
More → The Perfect Sandwich
Seems like everyone is harshing on the KFC for simply doing what it should absolutely be doing with the introduction of the Double Down, which is two slices of cheese and two pieces of bacon sandwiched between deep-fried, KFC-trademarked "herbs and spices" breaded, boneless chicken breast things with a quick slimy pass with something called Colonel's Sauce. As if anything less would be expected from a fast food restaurant that has always specialized in delivering more or less exactly that.
We're not sure what would make this thing any better? Do they want some sad, warm lettuce leaves slid in there,...

Some of the crew here at Glassdog World Domination Headquarters suffers from insomnia (though to be fair the term is used to refer to anyone who spends the night locked in the building as we endeavor to come up with something worthwhile and/or original for you kind and jaded folks out there in Virtualrealityland) and when encountered looking all sorts of dead, respond to nearly question concerning their state of mind with small whimpers or outright screams.
The latter are tolerated because, hey hey, most of feel like screaming all the time for any number of reasons, anyway, so lack of...
More → 24-Hour Party People
Hey there, general public! A new poll came out finding that members of the Tea Party (or, as we prefer to call them, the Teabaggers, which makes us snicker like little naughty boys playing Halo) are white, male, over-45 Republicans who don't like the President because he's doing more to help the poor than the middle class or the rich.
First question: Help the rich do what? What problems are the rich having that they need the President to pay more attention to them? He'll pay 100% attention to them when it's campaign time, so maybe they should lick their Wall...
More → Wait, What?
Day Two of our reappearance and we're still clearing out the afterbirth and digging the mucus from our ear canals. It's amazing how much hair we have! And what, exactly, is this crusty thing on the soft part of the skull? It's like someone baked a suede-covered marshmallow.
Still, It's kind of freeing to be able to walk around full-on naked like this. Windows wide open, no one looking in. It's liberating and a trifle... um... what's the word? Oh, yeah. Sexy. Totally fucking sexy. The thing about true apathy is that not only don't you care about what other people...

We didn't mean to stop. We really didn't. It just... sort of... happened.
If we wanted to - all of us here at Glassdog World Domination - we could pinpoint and delineate the reasons. Key word: "If." We are not so inclined because, truth be told, there have been endeavors to do exactly that a number of times over the past few months (adding up to a couple of years) but they always end up sounding like the lonely, broken old man who chases the kids off the lawn with flamethrowers and rabid poodles. "The lawn" in this case being the...
More → Visualizations
iTunes 8 was released to the world today, and included in its myriad upgrades and changes -- but not even mentioned by Sir Steve in his presentation, sadly -- is a new visualizer that looks suspiciously familiar to yours truly.
At any rate, for those of you out there who enjoy staring at swirling globes of light, dancing ribbons and gaseous nebulae all waltzing together in loving harmony to your music of choice, I thought I'd let you know how to get the most out of iTunes Visualizer.
Plus, I'll let you in on the Super Secret Undocumented option! Whee, you're special!
When...
