The first new episode of Top Gear (technically episode one of series/season 23) has finally aired in the UK and the US. The internet, at least its loudest voices, seems to have hated it and even went so far as to call it boring. Was it really that bad, though? I knew this new episode was going […]
New Worst Place to Have a Car: Anti-Trump Rally
Thursday night, a rally in Orange County, California was held by either the embodiment of evil, an alien symbiont attached to a millionaire’s head, or the savior of America, depending on your political leaning (or level of tin-foil-on-head-ness).

It’s been a long time since I first saw Borat, but I still remember how inescapable the film was when it debuted in 2006. Its star, British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, had been playing the character (inspired by a Russian doctor he once met) for years on Da Ali G Show, which aired first in […]
