...Both men like to play arrogant, vulgar, out-of-shape buffoons - angry antiheroes with oversized egos and anger management problems. In the cult comedy The Foot Fist Way, McBride growled as a hapless martial arts instructor who never missed an opportunity to tell his students he was better than them. In Pineapple Express, he was the shotgun-toting stoner who found the strength to embrace his new-found "thug life." And with the new HBO comedy series Eastbound & Down, set to premiere Sunday, Feb. 15, McBride has teamed up with executive producer Ferrell to tell the story of a washed...
...western end of the Luneta, Manila's crescent-shaped, scraggly public green, a cluster of life-size bronze sculptures of Rizal and the firing squad that gunned him down marks the spot where the doctor, now a national hero, was executed in 1896. A vulgar, nightly sound-and-light show dramatizes the moment.

CEO and even longer time Hef daughter Christie Hefner will step down at the end of January, so change is inevitable. And Playboy Enterprises Inc. stock has been vulgar, dropping 90% in a year. The company has an entertainment arm in Los Angeles and licenses its name and bunny logo to anyone who'll pay, including a wine company in 2008, but is said to make most of its money from its less well-known, more hard-core enterprises such...
...books of the future may not meet all the conventional criteria for literary value that we have today, or any of them. But if that sounds alarming or tragic, go back and sample the righteous zeal with which people despised novels when they first arose. They thought novels were vulgar and immoral. And in a way they were, and that was what was great about them: they shocked and seduced people into new ways of thinking. These books will too. Somewhere out there is the self-publishing world's answer to Defoe, and he's probably selling books...
