Add it to our "Testes and The Beef" set for 12/12? The parody "Jingle Bells" for AC/DC's "Hells Bells" just ain't doing it for me.

AskMen is the male Cosmo, and just as bad for you.

Seriously, reading this website while tripping on some hardcore pills I was given by the doctor was a bad idea.

Why multiple internet service companies are getting into the original series business?
Does Netflix really get enough extra subscribers to justify producing a show like House of Cards?
Sony is getting into it too with a new show. I think Amazon is doing it too.

I really doubt they will gain extra subscribers because of this, especially there are other means to get these shows

It worked for HBO, and that's what they're trying to become. When they're hits, exclusive series have resulted in solid profits for Netflix (at least), and have have attracted or maintained subscribers.

The business angle of it is also licensing costs. The more money Netflix and the like make, the more studios feel they can demand for streaming rights. Given that, the costs to produce original content may become increasingly reasonable by comparison.

It will be back soon. It was requested to be locked until we can determine whether or not Dave likes Hot Shots. We expect resolution soon.

Greenpeace has decided to "honour the Nazca people" How? By driving a 4x4 through the Nazca lines and permanently damaging them to put a shitty slogan that could have been easily photoshoped without damaging an incredible art piece of 1500 years of age.

I love those dates you can't get out of your head afterwards. :3

I really wish I could get my car to start. That' would be swell. 5 weeks without my own wheels man that sucks. Could be one of three things, two are easy sensors I can replace.

Any news on whether Dave likes Hot Shots? Seriously I'm quivering in anticipation.
