This would only be cool if it was in my apartment

March 30th, 2008

Burger King, which used to be one of my fave chains until their fries became disgusting/the ice started melting REALLY QUICKLY in the fountain sodas/I moved to NYC where the only one convenient to me on a daily basis is underground and seemingly run by the Mole People, will attempt to become hipper with smaller, limited-selection modules in casinos and airports. They’ll be called “Whopper Bars.” Workers will place toppings on the burgers in front of the customers “to put a little more theater into it.” What? Why?

I like the LCD fire in the graphic, but this news is only making me sad again that I used to love the King (INTERNATIONAL CHICKEN SANDWICHES) but now think it sucks.

This somewhat curbs the pain, though: The company’s senior vice president, global product marketing and innovation is named John Schaufelberger. That sounds like a McDonald’s character. Make him one! (The one who likes Burger King?)

Grab your cape! Maksim’s in da cubicle

March 20th, 2008

Above, Dancing With the Stars badass Maksim Chmerkovskiy is informing me that my cubicle is a mess. His fingers are so lightning-fast that they’re blurry. YES.

Video 1: Why he’s not doing season 6
Video 2: Maks’ favorite season 5 dances with Mel B
Video 3: Why women have no chance of winning DWTS

I’ll be doing a weekly video (woefully sans Maksim) about Dancing With the Stars, on EW.com. Just me running my mouth. It’ll be a disaster! In other words, totally watch it! But Maksim will be back every so often.
