The one episode of the IT Crowd and I saw was pretty funny and we still quote it. It was the one where they had an outing to see Gay! A Gay musical.
Jayne: What're you gonna tell the others? Mal: About what? Jayne: About why I'm dead. Mal: Hadn't thought about it. Jayne: Make something up. Don't tell 'em what I did.

David Letterman just explained what the vuvuzelas are. Wow, that's gotta be annoying when watching the games.
All weekend I saw vuvuzelas mentioned on Twitter in random ways. And I'd think, "I should Google to figure out WTF" But I didn't, because I'm easily distracted. Then today at work Marcia was talking about the annoying horns during the World Cup. And about ten minutes later I processed things and went into her office and said "Vuvuzelas?" And she said "YES!" And I said "Ah, it all makes sense now!" And lo, we were glad.
This has been a heartwarming (pointless) story of my laziness. You're welcome!

I love that one! "I'm disabled". So awful.
Put me in the IT Crowd love box. The trailers for the new series have started on Channel 4. I'm very excited.
ETA - That the vuvuzela criticism is starting to border on racist in the British press. You're their guests and it's part of their football culture people. Get over it.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)
I've never seen Wonderfalls, but I did enjoy the hell out of Pushing Daisies and Joan of Arcadia, so I'm sure I'd like it? I watch far too much TV, but you know, whatever. I also loved Arrested Development. (see? I watch too much TV)
I'm watching the first season of the BBC Merlin right now and it's delightful in both its anachronisms (sleeveless dresses?) and the fact that it seems like the writers only have the slightest acquaintance with the actual legends. But this doesn't make it any less delightful =)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
zuisa, Wonderfalls had a very short run -- I think 12 episodes? -- so it's compact and you don't have to get your heart broken because you know it only went that long.
Plus you'll never look at a souvenir the same way again....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I love that the twitter feed is all people going "BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ." The noise must be deafening.

That would be an example of irony!
