I absolutely love HBO’s new viral marketing campaign:
Pelosi gets emotional about political climate
“This kind of rhetoric was very frightening and it gave — it created a climate in which violence took place and so I wish that we would all, again, curb our enthusiasm, in some of the statements that are made.”
Pelosi continued that she believes “once Americans see the true blood of this health reform bill, I think they’ll be feeling a lot of big love for the president. Chuck Grassley and his entourage of obstructionists are going to be six feet under. Politically speaking. If you know what I mean.”
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs praised Pelosi for “Keeping it eastbound & down for the administration,” adding, “Sorry, I’m new at this.”

Fuck this guy.

Sure, it’s utterly predictable that purveyors of generic Top 40 dreck like the Beatles should receive the Rock Band treatment. But what about serious consumers of serious music? Where’s the game for those of us freed from the misguided assumption that rock is supposed to be fun, of all things?
Well, fans of the obscure and the fey, I’m subdued to report the upcoming release of the credibility-preserving Pretentious Rock Band Hero. In Pitchfork Media’s inaugural video game offering, you and your friends play as a band of self-conscious no-names struggling to stay off the map. Do you have what it takes to avoid the poisons of broad crossover appeal and skilled musicianship, at all costs? Can you keep it real long enough to get your own iTunes commercial?
