Quick: Your friends Disney and Pixar have broken up. Who do you stick by?
If you’re like most Hollywood directors, the answer rhymes with “ticks are.”
No one wants to direct “Toy Story 3.”
That’s the word in Hollywood’s animation world, where the third installment of the incredibly successful Pixar series has no director, writer or, possibly, stars.
Full story: ‘Toy Story 3′: Does Anyone Want to Do It?
There’s a guy out there who took advantage of his cell phone plan’s “free nights and weekends” and “no long distance charges” and called 867-5309 in every area code he could find.

Over at NBG, Dave posted a link to a story that serves as good proof for his theory that McDonald’s is run by aliens.
I can do him one better with a link I found today: Screencaps from a Japanese commercial for MickeyD’s that reimagines “Ronald” as a surprisingly hot chick.
I was simultaneously creeped out and… ah, intrigued by the commercial’s improbable star attraction. I am a guy, after all, and the girl is pretty hot, even if she is dressed up kinda like Ronald McDonald.
I concur. She’s a clown that even non-coulrophiliacs can enjoy. 
Not like the indescribable, not-work-safe Ouchy the Clown. Ick. 
Okay: I’m a geek with dubious fashion credentials. I’ve got more than an ample supply of oversized black t-shirts with comic book characters’ images printed on them. I’m only just beginning to grok style. I still think digital watches are a pretty neat deal.
And even I would never, ever wear a belt buckle made from an old NES controller!
Once brushed off as merely a myth in the video game world, the long rumored, much talked about NES Buckle is now available to grace your pants. Yes, it’s a real Nintendo controller, yes, its a real belt buckle, and yes, it will actually hold up your trousers.
