SnarkWatch

Presaging a return to some longer-form content...

• Stuff White People Like -- Cringe in self-recognition after laughing your tail off.  I particularly like #48, #13, and (of course) #41 and #23.
• The Scuppie -- similar to Stuff White People Like, but suspiciously close to being earnest instead of snarky... (Hat tip to Treehugger)
• A Carlsberg beer advertisement that pokes fun at both mandatory Irish language classes and the "attractiveness of the unusual" ...
  
  Per An Spailpin Fanach, the concluding bit translates as "quiet road girl milk" -- which probably isn't too far from some of the gibberish I spat out trying to communicate in Paris...
• Television Without Pity was once the unquestioned prime-time purveyor of snark.  I can now admit that I was a total junkie for the Alias recaps -- it was really the only way to make any sense of what was happening.  Anyway, they got bought out by Bravo a year ago and are now headed for reinvention with the three creators all making their way to the exits.
• And finally, a bar in New York City has the good sense to ban "Danny Boy" for the month of March.  I'm all for live Irish music, but I have always despised that particular tune (even before learning the back-story) ... it epitomizes everything thats wrong with the "Irish Tenors" movement.

Yes, there's more content on the way shortly... but please don't hold your breath.
