glee vs kings of leon

This story has been brewing for a while, I first posted about kings of leon and glee last year. things have gotten substantially more heated, and now it's time to address the situation again. via.

Yesterday, Glee creator Ryan Murphy said, "Fuck you, Kings of Leon" in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, slagging the band for not giving the show permission to use their songs. While singer Caleb Followill was quoted trying to ratchet down the tension with Murphy ("This was never meant as a slap in the face to Glee or to music education or to fans of the show"), drummer Nathan Followill is having none of this measured-response business. Nathan just tweeted, "Dear Ryan Murphy, let it go. See a therapist, get a manicure, buy a new bra. Zip your lip and focus on educating 7yr olds how to say fuck."

Murphy said: "Just read Nathan Followill's Tweet…in which he implied I should ‘get a manicure and buy a bra.’ Wow. That's a homophobe badly in need of some education. I'm all for manicures, don't wear a bra. Would guess most gay dudes don't. But it's telling that Nathan can reduce a group of people to a mean-spirited cliché, in a time where young gay men are killing themselves all over the country because of hatred like this.
That said, I would love to sit down with Nathan or any member of Kings and Leon, and tell them how on Glee we actually love their music, and support their artistry…but cannot condone or even laugh at their clear disdain of gay people."

Followill then tweeted in response, "I'm sorry 4 anyone that misconstrued my comments as homophobic or misogynistic. I'm so not that kind of person. I really do apologize."

Boys, boys, boys... you are really embarrassing yourselves. You guys need to work this one out without getting Perez Hilton involved.

who to root for? Packers v Steelers

Go Packers! They have the most Vols on their team. Decision made.


Former Tennessee offensive linemen Chad Clifton (1995-1999) and Scott Wells (1999-2003) are starters on the offensive line for Green Bay. Defensive lineman Justin Harrell (2002-2005) is on the Packers’ injured reserve roster. The Packers are heading to the Super Bowl for the fifth time in team history, and these former Vols will help the team try to win its first Super Bowl championship since 1997. The Pittsburgh Steelers are represented by two former offensive line standouts Ramon Foster (2004-2008) and Chris Scott (2005-2008). Foster is a starter on the Steelers’ offensive line. The Steelers are attempting to win the franchise’s third Super Bowl championship in the last six seasons.

what we got out of the state of the union

Right after President Barack Obama finished his State of the Union address, we asked our listeners to describe his speech in three words. We received responses from more than 4,000 of you. We've run them through a word cloud generator and this is what all of you said:

mmmmmm pigeon forge.

did you know pigeon forge is the home to the world's dirtiest hotel, as voted by tripadvisor?

"If you are looking for a hotel with: pubic hair stuck to the bathroom floor in some unidentifiable, gelatinous liquid; chewing tobacco spit oozing down the halls and corridors; spiders actively making webs in every corner of your room; carpeting so greasy and dirty you wouldn't want to sit your luggage down - let alone walk around barefoot; dingy bedsheets and towels as rough and thin as sandpaper; and a room so putrid and smelly it causes a gag-reflex when you walk in... by all means, stay at The Grand Resort."

china's planning a megacity.

and it scares the pants off of me.

City planners in south China have laid out an ambitious plan to merge together the nine cities that lie around the Pearl River Delta.

The "Turn The Pearl River Delta Into One" scheme will create a 16,000 sq mile urban area that is 26 times larger geographically than Greater London, or twice the size of Wales.

The new mega-city will cover a large part of China's manufacturing heartland, stretching from Guangzhou to Shenzhen and including Foshan, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Zhuhai, Jiangmen, Huizhou and Zhaoqing. Together, they account for nearly a tenth of the Chinese economy.

Over the next six years, around 150 major infrastructure projects will mesh the transport, energy, water and telecommunications networks of the nine cities together, at a cost of some 2 trillion yuan (£190 billion). An express rail line will also connect the hub with nearby Hong Kong. (via)

they say it's population will be around 42 million.
