"scathing" comments are bland and misguided. Why pour scorn on someone
who clearly can't sing? Just be nice to them. Reserve your
insults for the more demented Robbie Williams wannabees, the ones
who've studied his every move and honed their voice into a shiny
plastic bum gasp. In fact, sod insults: just get up from behind
the desk and hit them. Get me on that show; I'll do it myself.
I'll take a cricket bat to the bastards.
~ On "Pop Idol"

keeper who's disguised himself as a sea monster in order to scare
people away from his gold spends half his screen time mulling over the
philosophical meaning of masks. And then stabs Shaggy in the
eye
with a toasting fork.
~ On "Dexter"
<<>>

meets Crooklyn.
Cider
with Motherf***in' Rosie, if you will.
~ On "Everybody Hates Chris"
