The NEW Zodiac

Here's the New Zodiac updated for the 21st century. Why not modernize? Find your birthday, find your sign, and instantly know everything about your personality!

1. Super Mario
(3/21 - 3/31, 4/2 - 4/20)

The first sign of the New Zodiac, Super Mario is always expected by the rest of the population to always be there (except in rare cases when a second player or haunted mansion is present) and save the day from whatever ails the world: Giant punk turtles, walking angry mushrooms, a giant ape, the current administration, or even just a turtle that happens to know how to throw hammers. Whatever it is, though, you WILL be expected to save the day. People born under this star sign must be wary to not get discouraged from obstacles (such as holes or something) and keep pressing on - after all, there's always a power up somewhere.

  • Key Phrase: It's'a Me!
  • Key Color: Red, rarely Green
  • Likes: A'Spicey Food, Mushrooms, Saving the Day
  • Dislikes: Hallucinogenically inspired foes, Games that 'cheat'
  • Most Compatible With: Rembrandt, Two Legged Spider
  • Notables: Thomas Jefferson, Tom Hanks

2. Canada
(4/21 - 5/1)

Ever known somebody who looked just like everybody else, acted just like everybody else, and was actually even a little nicer than everybody else - but something was just off? Then you've probably known a Canadien (as people born under this sign are called.) Canadiens are generally good people and tend to get along with others, however, they tend to eventually get irritating by inventing alternate spellings to words and mixing small amounts of their change in yours as a 'friendly gesture.' Other signs sometimes believe, that underneath their simple, friendly exterior, may lie a preemptive strike. Superstition dictates it is wise to pretend to be born under this sign when in a foreign land.

  • Key Phrase: Eh?
  • Key Color: Red/White
  • Likes: Syrup, Beer, Violent Ice Sports
  • Dislikes: Whatever it is, they usually pretend not to dislike it.
  • Most Compatible With: Really anyone, kind of.
  • Notables: Mike Myers, George Woodcock, Michael J. Fox

3. Stacey the Brat
(5/2 - 6/2)

People born under Stacey the Brat are attention seeking, generally insufferable people. Lacking subtlety, they tend to take whatever they want and declare it as their property, dress lavishly to gain attention, and speak in such ways that demand notice. Discipline in their youths is all but required for them to function as adults.

  • Key Phrase: That's MY Candy!
  • Key Color: Pink
  • Likes: Attention, Things
  • Dislikes: Being Ignored, Non material things such as 'enlightenment' and 'knowledge.'
  • Most Compatible With: Eggy the Egg, Programmable Interface
  • Notables: Paris Hilton, The Olsen Twins, Snoop Dogg

4. The Three legged spider
(10/10 - 11/1)

The mythology of the star sign The Three Legged Spider is that of a spider that only has three legs due to some freak accident. Mythology is weird, it never really explains it beyond that. People born under this sign tend to struggle through life, as if missing 5/8 of their legs. To the slightly sadistic members of society (and children), this is usually amusing.

  • Key Phrase: I'm missing 5/8 of my legs. OR Ow!
  • Key Color: Off White
  • Likes: Crutches, Enablers, Pain Killers
  • Dislikes: Buildings without handicap accessibility, Those little hard things you find when you bite a hamburger
  • Most Compatible With: Super Mario, the Goth Kid
  • Notables: Stephen Hawking, John Edwards

5. Programmable Interface
(6/4 - 7/3)

People under this sign tend to be open books, taking suggestion as scripture and following it to a T. They tend to be completely malleable to the rest of society and will basically do whatever anybody instructs them to - just as long as they are told in a specific language without error. Sometimes this language is incomprehensible to the rest of mankind. Anybody under the sign who realizes this is likely to either 'deactivate' (as the natives of this sign refer to suicide as) or develop a sense of freewill - a day that all of humanity should consider a dark one.

  • Key Phrase: Syntax Error!
  • Key Color: Gray
  • Likes: Well structured writing, Administrative duties
  • Dislikes: Multi-tasking, MacOS
  • Most Compatible With: the Fascist dictator, The Dark Carnival of the Soul
  • Notables: Lassie, Matt Damon, the Apple IIe

6. Leonard the Fascist Dictator
(7/6 - 9/17)

People born under this sign were destined to rule - with a fist of blood and iron. Never should they learn German, or be in any position of power whatsoever - for the good of all mankind. They personalities tend to range from opressive to creepily and blindingly charismatic. Their agenda always hidden, this sign must be carefully watched, for cunning power plays will happen the second your back is turned.

  • Key Phrase: OBEY.
  • Key Color: Black/Red
  • Likes: Obedience, Genocide, Republicans
  • Dislikes: Freedom/Anarchy, John Locke, Mismatched socks
  • Most Compatible With: Stacey the Brat, Eggy the Egg, Canada
  • Notables: Dick Cheney (dur), Emperor Nero(dur), and Wesley Snipes (who knew?)

7. Carrot
(4/1, 2/2 - 3/20)

People under this sign are noted for their delicious, orange bodies that tend to be hidden beneath a layer of filth and dirt with a weed sticking out of it. Careful care must be taken with this sign for two reasons: One, it is not easy to coax the pleasant, yummy root out of the ground without damaging them physically or emotionally. Two, love in this sign is difficult. Carrots tend to share their delicious side with those who are holding it at the moment, making one's affections seem for not if some Rascally Varmit comes along and steals your carrot.

  • Key Phrase: I'm a carrot, for fuck's sake.
  • Key Color: Orange
  • Likes: Dirt, Fertilizer, The Sun
  • Dislikes: Rabbits
  • Most Compatible With: Canada, The Goth Kid, Super Mario
  • Notables: Alec Baldwin, James Earl Jones, Mr. Ed

8. Bill the Wanderer
(6/3, 7/4 - 7/5, 9/30-10/09)

This sign is the epitome of wanderlust. Those born under Bill are restless souls, wandering from place to place for no reason. They tend to never develop a personality, as all their time is spent moving. Natural introverts, they hate stability, and prefer to live nomadically. They rarely make friends, as this gives them little to no time to shower.

  • Key Phrase: I guess.
  • Key Color: Brown
  • Likes: Trains, Knapsacks
  • Dislikes: Showers, Conversation.
  • Most Compatible With: Canada, Dark Carnival of the Soul
  • Notables: Hulk Hogan, Jim Morrison, Harry Bentley

9. Rembrandt
(11/5 - 11/18, also 7/15/1606 through some rare celestial event)

This sign is generally considered one of the greatest painters and printmakers in European art history and the most important in Dutch history. Its contributions to art came in a period that historians call the Dutch Golden Age (roughly coinciding with the seventeenth century), in which Dutch world power, political influence, science, commerce, and culture — particularly painting — reached their pinnacle.

  • Key Phrase: I call this one...
  • Key Color: All the colors in the sprectrum!
  • Likes: Aesthetics, Clogs, Windmills
  • Dislikes: Ink/Paint anywhere on oneself, Bankruptcy
  • Most Compatible With: The Goth Kid, Eggy the Egg
  • Notables: John Stewart, The Lady on the Orbit Gum Ads, Bill Watterson

10. The Dark Carnival of the Soul
(9/17 - 9/29, 11/2 - 11/4, 12/25)

Boy, if you though Canadiens were fucked up... welcome to the dark carnival of the soul. It's really best for one's own sanity that little is known about these people, as even a glimpse into their psyche could ruin your mind, causing hallucinations, hysteria, catatonia, tremor, constipation and dry mouth. Consult a doctor if any of these worsen. Unfortunately, their demented psyche is contagious, and having one in your life is sure to make it horrible, macabre, senselessy destructive, if not a bit more interesting.

  • Key Phrase: Well, that all depends...
  • Key Color: Well, that all depends...
  • Likes: Well, that all depends...
  • Dislikes: Zyprexa, Ritalin, Trans Fats
  • Most Compatible With: Bill the Wanderer, Super Mario
  • Notables: Mike Tyson, Michael Jackson, Mel gibson, Ted Danson

11. Eggy the Egg
(12/1)

People born under this sign are known to have a fragile outer shell which will break the second you drop them. Their egos bruise easily, they can't handle the heat of the frying pan, and they generally dislike anything combative. They are also delcicious fried, more so than the other signs.

  • Key Phrase: I'm good for you this week.
  • Key Color: White/Yellow
  • Likes: Tobasco, olive oil, salt
  • Dislikes: Hammers, the floor
  • Most Compatible With: Carrot, Rembrandt
  • Notables: Tina Yuthers, Hans Christian Anderson, Bette Midler

12. DarkRavenBlade the Goth Kid
(11/19 - 11/30, 12/2 - 12/24, 12/26 - 2/1)

Whiny, Self absorbed, self abusive wet rags all are terms that are commonly used to describe this sign. They have developed their own 'culture,' ostracizing themselves from other people. They tend to dress is dark colors that match the clothes other people of this sign (I guess they all have some sort of psychic link or something) in an attempt to be unlike the other signs. Maybe they just really like irony.

  • Key Phrase: Woe is me.
  • Key Color: Black, dur
  • Likes: Pain, Misery. Usually when its self inflicted. Also, cutting oneself.
  • Dislikes: the sun, happiness, socializing
  • Most Compatible With: Nobody, not even themselves, except for Canada.
  • Notables: Al Gore, or go to any high school and see for yourself.

Ferris Bueller 2007

With the 21st anniversary of Ferris Bueller's Day off coming around the corner, what better thing to do than to remake this classic movie? We're all surprised that it hasn't happened yet, and yes, I do speak for you. Trust me, it's okay in this instance.

Anyway, let's start off by recasting this picture.

Directed by
Fight Scene Choreography
Ferris Bueller

Katie Bueller
Tom Bueller
Grace, The Secretary
Boy in Police Station
Economics Teacher
Florence Sparrow

Mike Myers
Kenan Thompson
Kirstin Dunst
Alan Rickman
Thora Birch
Estelle Harris
Ed O'Neill
Christina Applegate
Sanjaya Malakar
Shaq
Wanda Sykes
Christopher Meloni
Gary Sinese

The plot will remain similar. Ferris skips school by faking his parents, though this time with some added weird, inappropriate impressions of movies Mike Myers has done before. He hits the town (this time changed from Chicago to the O.C.... I mean, it's only appropriate anymore) and narrowly makes it back home without being caught. His friend Cameron may just learn something before they're through.

This update will feature some new, awesome CGI as added as Speilberg feels appropriate. Also, Wo Ping yuen will choreograph some bitchin' fight scenes. There's also a soundtrack catering to the otaku crowd:

  1. Prelude - Nobuo Uematsu
  2. She's a Queen - Queen Latifah
  3. Adam Sandler - Channakuh Song
  4. Time Warp - Cast
  5. I'm Dorothy the Dinosaur - Wiggles
  6. cop killer - Ice T
  7. K2G - Puffy Amiyumi
  8. Fish Heads - Barnes & Barnes
  9. Working For Vacation - Cibo Matto
  10. Friend or Foe - T.A.T.U.
  11. Born to be Wild - Borat
  12. Happy Sad - Pizzicato Five
  13. Pray - Nobuo Uematsu

Okay, there. That should be enough to get anybody who likes good movies nice and riled up. I await your hate mail!

July Horrorscopes

Aries: (March 21 - April 20) -- You only stand up for what you believe in so ardently because you're insecure about yourself. Quit overcompensating, and tell another Aries you love them to temporarily ease the crushing pain that is modern life.

Taurus: (April 21 - May 21) -- Taureans spend their entire lives maintaining the status quo within their existence. Unfortunately, the Taurean this month will be ill-prepared when something they know to be true and dear comes crashing down around them horrificly.

Gemini: (May 22 - June 21) -- Your other personality is plotting against you. Now is the perfect time for a preemptive strike.

Cancer: (June 22 - July 22) -- With the sun in their sign, this month is perfect for the crab to take after the hermit of the species – by hiding in its shell for extended periods of time and not bothering the rest of the world.

Leo: (July 23 -August 21) -- Leos are known for their generous characteristics-- however, this has given rise to a bit of trouble this month. Because of this trait, the rest of the world thinks you're up to and want something. Continuing to be generous will only fuel the fire, and ceasing will only further alienate your comrades. Good luck!

Virgo: (August 22 - September 23) -- People will continue to abuse your nature as they always have. This will strike as especially crushing when you realize there is nothing you can do about it.

Libra: (September 24 - October 23) -- Librans are adept at skills of empathy... and this trait eventually weighs even the stockiest of Librans down. This is indeed the time to let the judge inside of you also become jury and executioner.

Scorpio: (October 24 - November 22) -- Jealousy will once again override every thought process in your head this month. As a scorpion, you are naturally bound to sting... so maintain what little self control you have, or your bite will awaken a sleeping giant.

Sagittarius: (November 23 - December 22) -- Always the optimist, you'll never even consider that the bridge you are about to cross might be out. Because of your good nature, nobody will have the heart to tell you you're about to drown, either.

Capricorn: (December 23 - January 20) -- Quit your bitching. That's all it will take for another human being to be able to tolerate you, because and endless string of pessimism and self loathing is nothing anybody finds remotely desirable. Not even another Capricorn.

Aquarius: (January 21 - February 19) -- Your magnetic personality is prone to attract some sharp objects this month. Keep an eye out for the knife flying at your head, and be prepared to duck.

Pisces: (February 20- March 20) -- The sign of the fish is weak willed, easily led, and generally considered to be pathetic by everybody else. Because of this, a pied piper will enter your life this month, and lead you off to emotionally drown (in a bit of irony for this water sign). Put your weak will to your advantage, give up, and go back to bed now.

The Simpsons Movie

So, only three and a half weeks or so until America finally reaches its cultural climax and the Simpsons movie opens. Fans have been speculating for nearly 30 years now as to what might happen in the Simpsons movie. Many rumors have been shot down, but there are still some floating out there... The following is a list that the creators of the movie have either confirmed, or can neither confirm nor deny:

  • Homer's stomach stapling
  • Homer BBQs Marge/Bart/Maggie/Lisa
  • Maude Flanders rising from the dead to declare that there really is no God
  • Flanders revealing he is Pagan and ritualistically sacrificing the Simpsons, or Springfield
  • Bart getting a stuffed tiger that only he can see is real
  • A cliffhanger setting the stage for another 15 year SEQUEL SERIES. Probably based on Sideshow Bob, as played by Kelsey Grammar.
  • Bart being surrounded by the military, revealing the existance of aliens from Melmac
  • Bart and Lisa finally get married Or alternatively, Bart leaves Lisa for Milhouse at the last second
  • Mr. Burns DIES of old age. (Mr. Burns can't die!!!)
  • Barney reveals that since quitting drinking, he has taken up heroine, gets bart hooked, who kills Lisa for drug money, sending bart into a spiral of degeneration that only ends in Bart apologizing at Lisa's grave so Marge bakes him cupcakes only to have Homer eat them all. They laugh, Iris out.
  • They just act out The Incredibles or M*A*S*H but starring characters from the Simpsons instead.
  • Ever see Wacky Delly? (Think Rocko's Modern Life.) It's going to be just like that.

At least fans can speculat what's going to happen as based on the track list from the film's soundtrack.

  1. The Simpsons Opening Theme
  2. Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem) - Jay Z
  3. Since U Been Gone - Kelly Clarkson
  4. Dare to be Stupid - 'Weird Al' Yankovic
  5. Qui-Gon's Noble End - John Williams and the London Symphony orchestra
  6. Boys Don't Cry - The Cure
  7. Play - Moby
  8. Come Sail Away - Enya
  9. Bobby Brown Goes Down - Frank Zappa
  10. Charlie Brown Theme - Vince Guaraldi Trio
  11. Everybody Have Fun Tonight - Wang Chung
  12. Closer - Nine Inch Nails
  13. Homer's Noble End - John Williams and the London Symphony orchestra as joined by Jay Z and Kelly Clarkson and Toby Keith and hell, why not Justin Timberake, too?
  14. Courtesy of the Red, White, & Blue - Toby Keith
  15. Closing Theme

Celebrity Cameos??? Yes! There will be plenty of those! The following is a list of those confirmed thus far:

  • Gregory Peck
  • Vincent Price
  • Maya Angelou
  • Hank Azaria
  • Conan O'Brien
  • Jerry Orbach
  • Dr. Neil Clark Warren
  • Neil Partrick Harris
  • Corey Feldman
  • ...and YOU as 'The Simpsons.'

I also hear Tim Burton is going to do a live Action remake of the film late in 2011. I can't wait for this version, as I hear Christopher Walken will be playing Homer, Dane Cook as Bart, Christopher Meloni as Mr. Burns and Sean Hayes as Smithers!

QubeTV

Of course, Conservapedia was only the beginning. If Wikipedia, the encyclopedia where anybody can edit has a liberal bias (let's not stop to explore everything wrong with that statement), YouTube must ALSO be liberal, because it's the site where anybody can upload video of anything (well, except porn and demonstration of illegal acts, which, tends to align more with conservative views anyway.) YouTube also wont allow hate speech, which sure, just might be a liberal bias. But when boiling it down, all three are really censorship in some form. But, hey, it keeps trolls on their toes and forces them to exercise creativity in gathering attention.

Before we move on, I'd like to show you some of the liberal bias YouTube uses to brainwash us on a daily basis:

But, moving on, in an attempt to combat the righteous liberalism of the 16 year old kids that use YouTube, Qube TV was born. An excerpt from their site:

QubeTV.tv is dedicated to bringing your conservative take on politics and culture to the Internet. We know that the history of the modern mass media has been liberal in both its ownership and content for decades. With the world of the Internet playing an increasingly vital part in both our politics and culture, conservatives cannot sit back and cede the territory of online videos and pictures. There will, doubtless, be many conservative sites vying for your attention. We here at QubeTV hope to win your loyalty by committing ourselves to making this your favorite conservative place in the Internet universe.

This really isn't too misleading. Misinformed, perhaps. But straight forward. From Wendy Cook:

Will there be standards? "Sure. No pornography—we're a family site. And if some al-Qaeda type sends footage of an American kid being killed, unlike the New York Times, we will have the common sense and decency to get the thing removed ASAP…as conservatives we are big believers in the Constitution, which includes the First Amendment," pointed out Lord.

Okay, wait. What?
