Brokeback Mountain Ben Affleck and Jimmy Kimmel After Sarah Silverman and Matt Damon Video

Brokeback Mountain Cowboys Ben Affleck and Jimmy Kimmel

Talk show host and comedian, Jimmy Kimmel, was given a music video from his comedian girlfriend Sarah Silverman as gift to celebrate the 5th anniversary of his show on ABC, Jimmy Kimmel Live. The video is called “I’m F*cking Matt Damon” and stars Silverman as well as the always game Matt Damon. In the video Silverman sings “I’m f*cking Matt Damon … I’m not imagining it’s you.”

Jimmy Kimmel’s reaction when asked about it; “I hope they’re happy together!”

The very next day Kimmel had his staff lock in Matt Damon’s other professional half Ben Affleck for a retaliation video. On his post Oscars show, Kimmel debuted his star-studded revenge video called “I’m F*cking Ben Affleck.” This video is partially set to the song “We are the World” and features Brad Pitt, Don Cheadle, Ashlee Simpson, Lance Bass, Cameron Diaz, Harrison Ford, Rebecca Romjin, Joan Jett, Jennifer Garner, Benji Madden, Joel Madden, and of course the kissing Ben Affleck and Jimmy Kimmel.

Jimmy Kimmel’s reaction when asked about his new relationship; “Our love speaks for itself.”

The buzz on the internet is trying to determine who won the video battle?  Who’s feelings are hurt?  Which video is being watched the most on YouTube?  And whether or not Soupy Trumpet was the first to cliche photoshop Ben Affleck and Jimmy Kimmel as the Brokeback Mountain cowboys?

NASA, Apple join KFC in the race for alien business

NASA on Monday will broadcast the Beatles’ song “Across the Universe” across the galaxy to Polaris, the North Star.

The idea came from Martin Lewis, a Los Angeles-based Beatles historian, who then got permission from McCartney, Yoko Ono and the two companies that own the rights to Beatles’ music. One of those companies, Apple, was happy to approve the idea because is ‘always looking for new markets,’ Lewis said. “

Apple is a bit slow here, since this has been in style ever since KFC started selling chicken to aliens. However, I’m sure that aliens will be happy to add crappy Finger Eleven songs to their playlists.

In other news, during a Soupy Trumpet conference call yesterday morning, Grown Pumpkin assured Trumpet shareholders that the company would surely expand its dog crap delivery service to aliens. Bro Taguchi, however, was skeptical that Pumpkin’s dog, Mudbutt, could keep up with demand on Degoba.

IEM — 2008 Presidential Election Markets Quotes

Here we see that the market holds that Obama has a .79 chance of winning against Clinton, and McCain’s nomination is almost guaranteed with .93 chance.

Projection: McCain vs. Obama

McCain: “The war will be over soon… maybe… kinda…. sorta”

McCain: ‘The war will be over soon’

McCain said his potential Democratic rivals have distorted his January comment that U.S. forces may need to remain in Iraq for up to 100 years. Speaking at a campaign event in suburban Cleveland, Ohio, he said that referred to a long-term American presence similar to those in South Korea or Kuwait.

‘My friends, the war will be over soon … for all intents and purposes, although the insurgency will go on for years and years and years,’ the Arizona senator said. ‘But it will be handled by the Iraqis, not by us.’

Ok, McCain, I see what you’re doing. You’re distancing yourself from the 100-years comment NOW, so that way you have plausible deniability later, when you debate your Democratic opponent–whoever that will be.

The part that gets me, though, is that McCain claims that his 100-years comment has been distorted, so what he opts for is the far-more intelligible modifier, “soon.” What does that mean? He might as well have said, “We’re kinda leaving.”

If you can’t win with specifics, go vague….

Obama camp slams Clinton team on controversial photo

I don’t know whether Hillary is sending out this or not. It doesn’t matter–a bunch of morons are going to say that the sky is falling, anyway. Maybe simple logic will prevail. We’ll see how intelligent our society really is….You’ll find idiots who post stupid shit on blogs with headlines like this: Nancy Pelosi in an Islamic Headscarf

are the kind who think that what you wear in Rome makes you a Roman.

Nothing could be farther from the truth:

bush hands

bush flight suit

bush silk

(http://letsgoeverywhere.files.wordpress.com/2006/11/silkysmooth.jpg)

So, before you start getting all stupid about:

obama garb muslim

you should think about your current President. All the fucking loonies are going to say that this is proof that Obama is a Muslim, blah blah blah..

Bush’s wearing a flight suit doesn’t make him a badass, nor do his silky threads make him Asian.

Spanky’s review of Burger King Firecracker Tendercrisp

Awesome!

Now, I’m late to the ballgame on reviewing the BK Firecracker Tendercrisp. I will tell you up front that the gold standard in my book is Wendy’s #6, although recent chatter gathered by Soupy Intelligence has pointed to Bro Taguchi’s launching an upcoming assault on this standard. I, for one, am not fazed.

I would argue that the Firecracker Tendercrisp is partly inferior because its spiciness comes from its sauce, while the spiciness of the #6 is “in” the breading of the chicken patty. The result is that the FT’s spice might not be uniform. The sauce is fairly spicy, however, and you shouldn’t be disappointed. The FT does have lettuce and tomato, which are standard gear on the #6.

I would say that the FT is very good, but I’m not sure that it’s going to consistently lure me away from a Whopper. It is a contender.

I can tell you, however, that the #6 itself has been sitting the bench a lot lately, as I have opted for a straight-up Plain Jane #1 with cheese.

2008 Oscar Predictions Collected

Grown Pumpkin at the Oscars

The red carpet is already in full swing as tonight February 24, 2008 in less than one hour, ABC will be broadcasting the Jon Stewart hosted 80th annual Academy Awards, better known as the Oscars.  This year the juggernaut movies are Atonement, Michael Clayton (I liked this one), No Country For Old Men, and There Will Be Blood, each of which got seven or eight nominations.  Juno, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, and Ratatouille each got four or five.

Of the movies nominated that I liked – American Gangster, 3:10 to Yuma, Sweeney Todd the Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, Transformers, Eastern Promises, Gone Baby Gone, The Bourne Ultimatum, and The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford – none gathered more than three nominations.  Additionally the AWFUL Eddie Murphy stinker Norbit got more nominations (1) than Sean Penn’s Into the Wild, Hairspray, The Simpsons Movie, Tim Burton, Helena Bonham Carter, Denzel Washington, or Christian Bale.

There are always a good number of snubs and there is never a shortage of Oscar predictions.  We have prepared a collection of some of those predictions in one spot.  This way we can make a scorecard of all the wrong picks the “experts” made prior to tonight.  Originally we were going to prepare our own, but we do not care enough about this particular collection of nominations as it is configured to warrant writing a “Soupy Trumpet Picks” article.  After Kanye West got hosed at the Grammys, we have been having a hard time with award shows in general.

Predictions (sampling):

* contrary to the photoshopped image above, Grown Pumpkin will NOT be attending the Oscars… let alone watching them
