Emmy's Posts

Emmy Blotnick

Emmy hails from Boston and got her schoolings in Chicago. She was hired as an IT assistant working in the basement of Taintbrush Headquarters and was eventually promoted to the position of Person with Feelings. Even with her gratuitous year-end bonuses, she enjoys shopping at thrift stores -- almost as much as she likes thinking about how someone has pissed, shat and/or died in most of her clothes. And she is glad you are here.

Taintbrush Presents: The Only Authoritative Oscar Predictions Anywhere

CB056255The Academy isn’t fooling anyone with all this posing as though it’s rewarding art, technical prowess, or talent; that it’s about merit, taste, upholding a standard of excellence; that it has nothing to do with box office grosses, industry relationships, and targeted marketing.  Read More →

Rolcats: A Meme We Can Get Behind (For Now)

Have strength, my little cabbage. By the mercy of NKVD Order No. 00447, we have been chosen for Resettlement.  We will show the tin mines of Kolyma the true power of the proletariat.

Have strength, my little cabbage. By the mercy of NKVD Order No. 00447, we have been chosen for Resettlement. We will show the tin mines of Kolyma the true power of the proletariat.

Just when we started thinking the Internet had run out of caption-and-animal photo pairings, they go ahead and unleash the Iron Curtain-inspired Rolcats on the free world.  What’s more adorable than animals and crumbling oppressive regimes?  Nothin‘ you turkeys!

Where Lolcats often paralleled humans’ barest and most simplistic desires (see: cheezburgers, companionship), their Russian language counterparts bear weightier topics, not limited to societal castes and political hardship.  Our very own Fidel would be proud if not embarassed to admit that animals are cute.

So you’ve been drinking for like, TWO HOURS.  You’ve got a burning itch (not the burning itch) and you know it’s time to text a loved one, or maybe a former loved one if you’re desperately horny, or maybe Paul Janka if you’re feeling date-rape-victim-y. Read More →

Cam'ron curbing his enthusiasm in a hot tub.

We hear that rapper Cam’ron is developing a TV series based on Curb Your Enthusiasm.  We were so awed, thrilled, incredulous; we couldn’t resist calling up Cam’s weed carrier to get a copy of the script for the pilot episode.   He was kind enough to swing by Taintbrush headquarters to drop off a copy and a few girls we didn’t ask for!
