Celebrate Your Love With A Shitty Personalized DVD

Just in time for belated Valentine's Day: you and your sweetheart can have your names and faces inserted into a crappy falling-in-love montage on a DVD that looks like it was made as a high school group graphic design project. You and your loved one will want to watch your grainy faces pasted on the bodies of herky-jerky disco dancers, hot-air-balloon enthusiasts, and people who like to cuddle in the corn for some reason over and over for hours. And don't worry about value, as the narrator says: "Your face and names are seen over fifty times!" Omg honey, we're gonna be FAMOUS!:

Sopranos Wine Will Combine The Two Best Things In The World

One of the great lines in Forgetting Sarah Marshall was when Jason Segel was talking on the beach with Kemo and he asked how Kemo knew he'd been dumped by Sarah Marshall and Kemo said:

"I heard about it from everybody. You gotta stop talking about it. It's like "the Sopranos." It's OVER. Find a new show."

It's funny because you think he's going to say something about snitching, and then he points out the very true thing about how none of us are over that show. Best! ANYway, HBO has made a deal with an Italian wine distributor to make Sopranos-brand wine, which is not lame and too late, it's awesome like a finely-aged wine. This is what I want to do to that wine:

This Eternal Sunshine T-Shirt Makes No Sense

Via /Film, Last Exit To Nowhere, the company that makes tshirts for imaginary brands and places in movies and TV shows, has added this homage to Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind to their wares. It's a fake ad (obviously) for Lacuna, Inc., the company in the movie that erases your memory. Except it doesn't make sense in the context of the film, because Lacuna sends letters to everyone you know saying that you've had your memory erased and not to talk about the person you've had erased, which obviously means that nobody should talk about the fact that your memory was erased at all. So the only people who would wear this shirt in the movie would be Lacuna's employees, of which it seemed to have less than five.

What? I just think it's important that someone who has seen that movie way too many times points this stuff out.

Free NBC Show Buttons: A Network Promotional Stunt That's Actually Cool

Via TV Squad: NBC is giving away political-style campaign buttons for the network's fifteen Emmy-nominated shows. You just choose the buttons you want, fill out a quick form and they're on their way to your house to be thrown out the next time you move. I signed up immediately, even though I have no idea what I would do with even the button for my favorite show, 30 Rock. It's funny to try to imagine the kind of person who would get the "Lipstick Is My Pick" button. Lipstick Jungle isn't even popular, and if you wore it nobody would know what it was. I signed up for that one, too. But ironically.

Bill Cosby Knows We Make Fun Of His Sweaters

Bill Cosby is finally taking advantage of the cultural significance and hipster party theme popularity of the aggressively unattractive sweaters he wore on The Cosby Show and elsewhere. Just look at the illustration for his ebay charity sweater auction:
