Justin kicks off the show with some fresh haterade for Fox "personality" Bill O'Reilly and his views on the godless liberal city of San Francisco. Also on the show, Wilson goes hands on with the Blackberry Storm, an inmate gets $300 K for his lost genitals, NASA installs a fart detector in the space station, same sex couples can join eHarmony and PETA releases "Cooking Mama: Mama kills animals." We conclude with a geeked out discussion about X-Men.


Dan the Mantern here. In case you haven't seen it already, you should check out the above "documentary" from the O'Reilly Factor that claims that, should the Christian right not remain vigilant, all of America will begin to resemble San Francisco, the modern-day Sodom. If you analyze the video, you'll notice that several interviews were conducted with homeless people and burnt-out hippies, precisely the type of people who would make any city seem like an undesirable place to live. Obviously O'Reilly is running out of material. You better watch your back, Bill, because I know a 130-lb. Asian man who loves skinny jeans and ass-whupping, and his skinny jeans are in the wash...

UPDATE: If you're having problems listening to today's episode of the show, please re-download the episode. We apologize, but there was an error in the MP3 encoding, which caused the file to not play passed the 7 minute mark.

Where during the program did the "O'Reilly Factor that claims that, should the Christian right not remain vigilant, all of America will begin to resemble San Francisco"? I never heard the words Christian right and vigilant, or any combination of the two...? Were you watching the actual program, or what you wanted it to be?

Also, I'm sure O'Reilly is quaking in his boots for a largely unheard, web-based video-blog that passes off incomplete and unfinished work as 'professional'. Seriously, the hatred you tech-types have for Fox News and O'Reilly is unbelievable. But not that the zealots will mind - read the first paragraph - as even distortions of truth that's IN THEIR FACE don't seem to bother them. Whatever happened to being offended when someone lies to your face?

Oh well...carry on.
