God’s new favorite book (move over, Bible)

With Easter officially over and Christmas more than eight months away, God needs something to do with all of His free time. I would suggest he finds a clever way to smite Octo-Mom, but apparently the Almighty prefers to waste time the same way we humans do: Facebook.

Yes, you can now become a fan of God on Facebook. More than 1 million people already have, and they’re going crazy uploading photos of God, Jesus and (for whatever reason) themselves.

His wall and info. are blank, but God’s discussion board is apparently the place to be. 84 discussions are going down right now, ranging in topic from “How Do You Get to Heaven?” to “i am the second coming of christ.” There’s lively debate between people of different faiths, and of course a whole lot of nonsense.

This is fun, but I don’t think I’m going to become a fan. I’m holding out until God gets himself a Twitter.

Shed a tear for Brooklyn

I went into tonight’s Real World: Brooklyn finale pretty bummed out. This season really surprised me. It was shorter than most, just 13 episodes, but I still feel like we got to know each of the housemates.

The final hour gave us the typical last-minute drama in the form of a prank gone horribly wrong, followed by the obligatory drawn-out goodbye. Ryan is, of course, headed to Iraq; J.D., Chet, Katelynn and Sarah are all going back home; and Scott, Baya and Devyn are moving into an apartment in the city.

I got through about 10 minutes of the reunion special before I decided I wouldn’t be able to stomach the rest. I love this show, but my love only reaches so far.

While I enjoyed the season — mostly because of the ensemble — there were three very noticeable problems:

  1. The drama wasn’t as consistent as it would have been if the housemates were required to work, or at least volunteer, together.
  2. The producers didn’t send them on vacation.
  3. And most importantly, no one in the house hooked up!

I’m assuming the lack of vacationing and hooking up will be remedied during the next season of The Real World, which is currently being filmed in Cancun. Until that guaranteed hot mess hits the airwaves, you can cope with your withdrawel by visiting Chet’s blog.

It’s funny… sometimes.

90210’s Silver lining

I hate myself for watching the new 90210, and I hate myself even more for actually liking one of the characters.

Erin Silver is crazy. I figured the writers would give Kelly Taylor’s little sister a rough ride through high school, but Silver is literally out of her head-piece.

In last night’s episode alone, Silver had sex with her boyfriend in multiple classrooms, secretly video taped it without telling him, rented out a small theater at which she screened said sex tape, put a garbage can fire on her boyfriend’s lawn, broke into her teacher’s apartment and threw a wine bottle at his face.

The biggest surprise of all was that the actress who plays Silver, Jessica Stroup, actually managed to pull it all off. The pleasure I get from90210 remains far from guilt-free, but I think I might be starting to love this crap.

(Also, I love the Us Weekly cover I used for this post. What amusement park professional did they get to “estimate” her weight?)
