IMDB Editors Have A Retarded Sense Of Humor

Please ignore the actual content of the story I’m going to quote here, I’ll bold the bit that made me raise an eyebrow.

Rocker Courtney Love and Oscar-nominated Capote director Bennett Miller have sparked rumors they are a couple after being spotted together at a recent Hollywood party. The pair – who were introduced by Capote star Catherine Keener – were “all over each other” at the event, reports gossip site PageSix.com. However, a representative for the film-maker has denied the relationship is anything but platonic, insisting, “They’re not an item. They’re just friends.” Love was previously married to late Nirvana legend Kurt Cobain.

Um… shouldn’t this have read as:

You’ve only ever fucking heard of Love because she was married to late Nirvana legend Kurt Cobain, so why even bother with this goddamned sentence?

Much better.

More information on the Stefan Eriksson (CEO of Gizmondo) car crash story that I neglected to post this week… seems that the “mysterious Dietrich” who was supposedly driving the car might have been strapped at the time.

A week after former Gizmondo executive Stefan Eriksson’s Enzo Ferrari was destroyed on a Californian highway, police have announced that a gun magazine found nearby may be connected to the crash.

According to the LA Times, detectives are attempting to determine whether the magazine is linked to the incident. They are looking to interview a person who they think was in the car with Eriksson – presumably the mysterious ‘Dietrich’, who Eriksson has previously claimed was driving at the time of the crash.

Sergeant Phil Brooks also told the LA Times that the vehicle was one of two Enzos imported into the US by Eriksson, along with a Mercedes SLR. Brooks said that police have not been able to find the correct papers for the car, meaning it was not “street legal” for driving on Californian roads.

I’m sorry, but how did this shitbag ever get his hands on enough cash to import two fucking Enzos and an SLR? Did he embezzle the cash that should have been put towards picking a suitable name for his shitty handheld?

Oh… right.

[ 184-Proof Whiskey ] – Oh… oh good lord, I want some.

Managing director Mark Reynier says the Bruichladdich distillery on the Isle of Islay, off Scotland’s west coast, is producing the quadruple-distilled 184-proof – or 92 percent alcohol – spirit “purely for fun.”

Whiskey usually is distilled twice and has an alcohol content of between 40 and 63.5 per cent.

In 1695, travel writer Martin Martin described it as powerful enough to affect “all members of the body” and wrote, “Two spoonfuls of this last liquor is a sufficient dose; if any man should exceed this, it would presently stop his breath, and endanger his life.” Reynier actually tried three spoonfuls and says, “I can tell you, I had some and it indeed did take my breath away.”

The rest of us will have to wait however, since the whiskey will not be ready for at least 10 years. Reynier says, “You get a better drink if you wait because of the basic oxygenation through the oak barrels.”

Dammit. I want a bottle of this whiskey for when I go over the hill. I want to guzzle it down and just end it right there before my penis becomes useless.

Drowned in his own addiction, they’ll say… that’s… well, yeah there’s no irony there. That’s kind of the opposite of irony, right? That’s Tuesday.
