Putin on the Fritz
I'm certain that I must've mentioned the Lifetime Network movie Cyber Seduction: His Secret Life, because there's no way that anybody could write about life in twenty-first century America without mentioning that masterpiece of agitpoop (that's the second word I've coined this week), but just incase you've just started experiencing "the talkies on the picturebox", here's a plot synopsis straight from the good folks at the Lifetime factory:
In just a few mouse clicks, good-natured student and athlete Justin Peterson (Jeremy Sumpter) went from your average hormonally charged teen to an Internet porn addict. He puts his future and family into total turmoil by letting curiosity turn into obsession.
The film's most memorable line is uttered by a secondary character who snarls, "Internet pornography ruined my marriage" Ladies, if you're shocked, shocked!, to find porn on your husband's computer, then you'll also be shocked to learn that he has a penis hidden in his trousers.
I mention this only because I was shocked earlier this week when I discovered pictures of Vladimir Putin on my computer.
RA: Um, honey, what are all these pictures of Pootie Poot doing on the PC?
Vienna Anonymous: I think he's hot.
RA: You do know he's a totalitarian right? He's like a total totalitarian.
VA: But he's a hot totalitarian.
Please keep in mind two things, folks. The first is that this is the same woman who makes me double-check all the locks in the house whenever she has her weekly nightmare about the Cybermen, and that in the first American election in which women could vote, they tended to vote for the handsomer of the two candidates: Warren G. Harding.

Galileans are lining up along Interstate 35 and we can only hope that they're doing it an night in non-reflective clothing.
