Culture Buzz Sidekicks are widely seen as interchangeable, so let's interchange them! More Photoshopistry over at the Something Awful Phorums.
TV Buzz Inspired by Andrew Lincoln, who plays all American lawman Rick Grimes on The Walking Dead, being a filthy limey. These are all television actors who play Americans or characters who talk American, but weren't born in the U.S. of mother effin' A. They're takin' our jobs!

Is serial slavish critical devotion to a revolving set of shows — from Sopranos to The Wire to Mad Men — a sign of the shallowness of our cultural discourse, or our deep need to connect? I love think pieces about TV, and also Mad Men is so totally awesome, you should really watch it!

The cast of The Wire, Obama’s favorite show, will campaign for him in North Carolina. Not to be outdone, McCain announced that the annoying Isuzu guy from Empty Nest showed up at a recent rally, but only to “see Palin’s gams up close.”
