Adult Swim Australia’s handy compilation (spoiler alert) of every celebrity cameo in the first two seasons of the galaxy’s finest cartoon series: from Alfred Molina and Stephen Colbert to John Oliver and Werner Herzog.

Still no release date for season 3, which has apparently been written and is currently being animated.

You may care to be Rickrolled, if you’ve not had the pleasure already.

Mark Frauenfelder of Boing Boing sez:

My daughter sent this photo to me. I put it in Photoshop to check. The “reddest” part I could find using the eyedropper had an RGB value of 153/181/182. So technically there is some red in the image, but here is what 153/181/182 looks like:

Not very red.

Tom Lyons tweetz:

So this has arrived. A new book on the Moriarty Tribunal and Denis O’Brien. Looks like something else. A steal at €50…

Um.

Meanwhile…

From The Irish Times letters page on March 25, 2011 – three days after the publication of the Moriarty Tribunal.

The media frenzy and what it is generating reminds me of the movie Twelve Angry Men and the book To Kill a Mockingbird. The political and media piranhas have smelled their victims’ blood and in the low moral ground where they play out their pretensions, the actors in this dreary drama are set to play their pretentious parts!

At stake is one of life’s most important psychological and emotional conditions: reputations.

In Twelve Angry Men, the so-called “evidence” was hearsay, innuendo and prejudicial malicious gossip. It took one man’s love of justice to convince his biased peers of the accuseds’ innocence.

After the tribunal’s 14 years of forensic foraging and a bill of approximately €250,000,000, Denis O’Brien has admirably stated his constitutional right under Article 40 to a good name.

We shall soon all witness how much as a nation we love justice or gossip! Having lived here most of my life I won’t hold my breath.

backpack

Shane writes:

I know you don’t normally do this and am embarrassed to ask. I have misplaced my backpack (above). I left it in the back of a taxi in Marino [Dublin 3] last Friday night. Admittedly I was the worse for wear, but realised my mistake when it was just too late.

It has some treasured possessions (my e-reader and a hardback notepad), and some not so treasured, a firewire card for a PC, and a lunchbox. I reported it to the guards on Saturday but have yet to hear back.

I would really appreciate if somebody knows its whereabouts that they might return it, and would gladly pay a reward.

Anyone?
