I think it's on at the same time as The Hills, so who cares?

Hopefully this Simpsons' "Treehouse of Horror" will be as epic as the internet is making it out to be.

The videos might be embeddable (that's a fun word to say) but they still take forever to load

well, we moved to a real content delivery network, instead of Amazon's S3, which should have sped them up some, but we still encode at larger sizes & higher quality than youtube, for example. maybe we can trim that to speed them up.

Modern pop-art has become a huge black hole of self reference. It's very tiresome. What's next, a remake of the remake of Psycho? Hopefully some day this will supernova and writers, directors, musicians, etc, will begin to come up with ideas that don't reference other ideas referencing other ideas, and so on.

Kevin is joking, right? The internet is confusing.

I was hoping they would mash up the two theme songs. They seem to have gone to the trouble of re-recording the Mad Men theme, but they forgot to call me to see if I had a better idea.

God that's lame. I used to LOVE The Simpsons. It's so sad to watch the show's pathetic attempts to remain culturally relevant. Fox has been beating that dead horse for over a decade.

Funny to read you prefer a generic brainless show meant for the lowest common denominator over one of the most creative and smartly written dramas running.

Теперь я скажу несколько слов о подводке к дичи молодой собаки и о ее стойке.(В работе собаки по дичи следует различать 4 момента (подразделения) ее работы:

1 — поиск, длящийся до того момента, как собака начнет причуивать признаки присутствия дичи в доступном для ее чутья расстоянии;

2 — потяжку — работа собаки, разбирающейся в донесшемся до нее запахе до момента окончательного определения ею наличия дичи; эта работа заканчивается
