Holiday Week Link Dump

- A Photo Editor outs himself.
- 8 of the 10 top sellers in the Video Games category on Amazon are for the Wii. Even the Wii Charge Station is listed.
- The Wii helped Amazon sales overall a bunch, too. Here’s an overall look at the numbers.
- Watch the original Star Wars Holiday Special.
- Even MTV thinks the music industry is screwed.
- For obvious reasons, I was interested in a blog post titled “Auggie Wren’s Christmas.” Then I read that “Auggie Wren” isn’t his real name. That relieved me. It also made me mad that someone else decided to add a second friggin’ “G” to my first name. ARGH! I couldn’t read it past the first paragraph after that.

Poor souls who watch that holiday special. I have my own copy and the only possible way to survive it is to watch it in Mystery Science Theater mode. Even then you feel bad about badmouthing the cast.
A textbook example of how to not make a film. A failure on almost every level (the animated segment is bad, but watchable).

Thanks for the link to the Christmas Special. I don’t think that I have ever seen it. Ironically, I was just re-watching Weird Al’s “White & Nerdy” video on my iPod this morning and wondered if I would ever get the chance to revel in its awfulness!
