• Apparently Jay & Silent Bob get a very strange mention in this BBSpot Top 11 countdown: “Movies Based on Shakira’s Ass”.
• Apparently in the new Xbox game “Brute Force”, a character called Tank sings “Berserker”. Huh. How about that. The video review of the game at TechTV has the evidence. Oh, and yes, we’ve spent some time playing the game itself…And it’s BAD. It’s no HALO, that’s for sure. Catch ya at the next one, folks.
