Maybe more creepy than weird.
Sickos.

Yikes.
So I was checking my blog stats (yes, I am curious) and noticed that the top search that leads to this site is “miranda cosgrove,” the 16 year-old star of iCarly whom I referenced in my post about the VMAs. This is kinda concerning because either a) her legions of teen fans are scouring the web looking for more information on Miss Cosgrove or b) her legions of adult fans are scouring the web looking for more information on Miss Cosgrove. I really hope it’s option A.
Should I even tag her name here, or is that just inviting more trouble?

Jay Leno Still Jay Leno. Why is Anyone Surprised?
So when the critics say that The Jay Leno Show is too similar to Leno on The Tonight Show, they really just mean that it’s also not funny, right? Who cares if it’s the same format (minus a desk during interviews), the important thing is to produce an entertaining 60 minutes. And that didn’t happen.
And your first guest was The Dan Band. Not a great start, Jay.*
*And, yet, I watched it. Curiosity killed the cat.

The Edge is Really Serious About Being The Edge
This past week’s Entertainment Weekly included a Q&A with U2’s The Edge about the new documentary It Might Get Loud, in which he appears with Jack Black and Jimmy Page. When asked if he has a favorite White Stripes song he responds,
“…I wrote this sketch of a song, which I was really excited about. I went over to my brother’s house and told him, ‘Dik, I gotta play you this new tune!’ After about 16 bars he says, ‘Edge, that is ‘Seven Nation Army.’ I said, ‘What? Get out of here. Is not!’ I went back and listened, and it wasn’t exactly, but it was way too close. I played it for Jack, and he was like, ‘Mmm, it’s a bit close, isn’t it?'”
Okay, so The Edge wrote a “Seven Nation Army” ripoff, no big deal. But more importantly, The Edge makes his brother call him, “Edge?!” You’d think between brothers “David” or “Dave” would be fine. But I guess not. Not only that, but The Edge gets to be The Edge while his brother remains “Dik.” Doesn’t seem fair.
I wonder what Bono’s brother Sheldon* calls his bro.
*This name is made up. I don’t know if Bono even has a brother.**
**Oh, he does, and his name is Norman.***
***And according to Wikipedia Bono’s family has been referring to him as his stage name since adolescence. Well, there you have it.

Back
After a brief (long) hiatus in order to move (and take 2 months to settle in) to LA you can expect regular updates.
You can expect them. No guarantees that they will come.

Helloooooo
Welcome to Jumped The Snark! I’ve owned this URL for quite some time now, and I’m finally putting it to use. Hopefully I’ll be able to follow up often with new posts and thoughts and charts (something I was unable to do with my AOL Hometown page, or Diaryland or Blogger). We’re still in the nascent stages right now, so bear with us. Yes!
