"Dark Knight" ads are popping up all over the place now that the movie is out on DVD and word just came out that Heath Ledger has been posthumously nominated for a Golden Globe. (Ledger, who played the Joker, will vie for the title of best supporting actor Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr., Ralph Fiennes and Philip Seymour Hoffman.)
All this Batman talk got me thinking about how awesome Dark Knight is and reminded me of a funny College Humor short I saw a few months back. I'm a Batman fan all the way (much more realistic, relative to other super heroes), but this made me laugh.

Bo, fo' sho'
I stumbled across this video of Bo Burnham, a white rapper busting some rhymes in what appears to be a small room presumably in his parent's house (because he doesn't look a day over 17).He may not be the fliest rapper alive, but his rhymes are actually really good. And he could
probably wipe the metaphoric rap court clean with Shaq if they were to ever throw down in a battle.Oh, and he totally gives all you babies of the '80s a new way to think about Patty Mayonnaise...

Every 'Simpsons' couch gag
You may not be a fan of the last five-eight years of "The Simpsons," but you gotta admit that this video is pretty incredible.
*Note - the creator of this video has admitted that not every single couch intro is actually included in here. There's about six or so missing.

Get the bust outta here
*Sincerest apologies for the lack of posting this week. I'll step my game up from here on out...
In true Disney family movie fashion, another not-so-family "subliminal" message has emerged, this time out of "Enchanted," the half-animated, half-live action fairytale story starring Dr. McDreamy that raked in $50 mill this weekend and was number one at the box office.
Fortunately for the Disney empire, this one has been quickly debunked by taking a second listen to the scene. Without knowing otherwise, it appears that an off-camera extra shouts, "Get the F*%$ outta here!" Buuut...it's really a shout of "Get that BUS outta here!" And no, that's not some damage control concotion; there really is a large bus in the way.
It makes me wonder if some of those popular dirty Disney messages are just our own mind's imagination, but because they were before the days of blog, the public was lacking "heroes" with no lives to do some detective work and find that the genie in Aladdin isn't actually telling kids to take off their clothes. Who knows?
But what I do know is not all of those pause-worthy Disney moments are false. The topless woman in the background of The Rescuers movie is definitely topless. But otherwise, most of the salacious scenes have been overblown. [click to watch an amateur, but comprehensive, video of the movies...didn't know about that Jessica Rabbit one!].

Old School Thursday
I've decided to add a little weekly special to The Jerc Store called "Old School Thursday," where we pay homage to forgotten gems of the past. Suggestions are welcome.
They're tiny, they're toony, they're all a little looney...presenting 1990's Tiny Toon Adventures.
CLICK HERE TO SEE THE OPENING THEME
Your main players were Buster and Babs Bunny [no relation]. Most of the characters were meant to be mini-versions of originial Looney Tunes characters [hence the "we're all a little looney" - get it?]. There was also Plucky Duck, and personally, some of my favorite scenes were of
him as a Baby Plucky because he was just so precious ["want to go on the elalator" and water go down the hoooole"]. There were also skits featuring They Might Be Giants, and I must admit, I have "Istanbul" and "Particle Man" on my iPod.
I may have had a crush on Buster when I was little, but Babs was totally my fav, all her crazy impressions and songs. And could an episode go by where you didn't wish Montana Max would get hit by a piano instead of poor little Furball?
Buster: Say goodnight, Babs.
Babs: Goodnight Babs!
Now tell me that doesn't give you a sense of nostalgia.
