Was Seth MacFarlane's "We Saw Your Boobs" song pre-taped? Well, to anyone with eyes, the answer is yes.

I hadn't watched the Oscars for a couple years or so. I was getting tired of it. While I absolutely adore cinema, I can't say hearing movie stars thanking people for five minutes a piece over the course of three to four hours sounds like a great deal of fun to me. When I heard Seth MacFarlane was going to be hosting this year's awards ceremony, however, I decided to give it another gander. Overall, I'm glad I did. While the thank-you speeches grew a little tiring after a while (Daniel-Day Lewis' speech being an exception), I thought MacFarlane put a nice twist on the show which it has been lacking in recent years. Granted, I think some of the jokes were coming dangerously close to crossing that "line" between inappropriate yet still funny and inappropriate beyond funny. However, that's what MacFarlane is known to bring to the table in just about any of his projects, and while some of the jokes fell flat in my eyes, others shined. Overall, it made for a fairly entertaining event and I didn't look back saying, "There's 3-4 hours of my life I'll never get back." Yeah, like I said, previous years' Oscars have forced me to set my expectations quite low.

One of those borderline offensive jokes was came in MacFarlane's opening bit, where he sang a song called, "We Saw Your Boobs." He rattled off a series of actresses' names whose boobs he's/they've/we've seen at one point or another in their movie careers. This was presented via a pre-recorded tape. During this pre-recording, MacFarlane mentioned Charlize Theron, Naomi Watts, and Jennifer Lawrence, and the camera then caught the actresses' reactions. Lawrence was mentioned for not showing her boobs to the public and gave a very proud, cheerful reaction. Theron and Watts, meanwhile, appeared to be visibly upset. Once again, this was a pre-recorded series of events. The actresses in the recording were wearing different outfits from the ones they were wearing at the actual ceremony. In other words, these three ladies were simply playing along in the pre-recording. They were, ::gasp::, acting. This seemed quite obvious to me, however, it wasn't so obvious to many others.

Via the lovely world of Twitter, the following reactions were made to the pre-recorded tape:

"These girls are gonna kill Seth McFarland for this song."

"Omg these actresses are so pissed."

"Hahahahahaha those women didn't look to happy."

Yeah, I think I'm going to give these three reactions and many other like ones a big ol' facepalm.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things."
