Aug.20.2008 13 bobbleheads the world could have lived without
It’s my theory that one day, every man woman and child will have a bobblehead bearing their likeness. It seems like literally every single person with a modicum of fame or fictional character has a bobblehead with their face on it. But which ones lead a particularly egregious existence? Here’s some you can probably live without.
Meet the “Rally Rabbi” of the San Francisco Giants. Given out during a Jewish Heritage Night in 2006, the Rally Rabbi’s favorite past times include circumcisions and controlling the media. Unfortunately, the Giants ended up losing the game to the Cincinnati Reds with a score of 6-3, proving that the Rabbi’s shofar wasn’t the only thing that blew in the stadium that night.
No this isn’t just some slob who really likes DVDs mailed to him. This is the bobble version of Netflix CEO Reed Hastings. The story behind this bobblehead is that Hastings gave these out to all his employees in 2004, upon the signup of the two millionth Netflix customer. Which is pretty great for morale. “Hey, I could give all you guys bonuses, but screw it…here’s my fat .com ass in bobblehead form! Keep up the good work!” Why not just hand out free kicks to the groin next time, Reed?
This lil guy is from the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California, a yearly event which, in 2008, drew almost 110,000 people. And any love of garlic can be quickly dampened when you look at the horrible genetic mutations the festival creates, such as towel-wielding garlic monsters that look vaguely like Snorks clad in basketball uniforms. I’m onto your tricks, Gilroy. You’re like a garlicy Island of Dr. Moreau.
Yes for all you Charles Darwin lovers, finally you can stick it to creationists IN BOBBLE FORM! It just seems to belittle Darwin’s importance as a researcher when you have him bobbling around like he’s a common outfielder or something. And what’s up with the chimp? I get why that’d be there, but it really just makes him look like he’s Michael Jackson in the 80s.

Jul.16.2008 Michael J. Fox to guest star on Rescue Me
Great news, MJF (that’s what those in the know call Michael J. Fox) fans! Your hero will be back on episodic TV, doing a guest stint on the hit show Rescue Me!
Michael J. Fox will return to series TV with a four-episode guest role on FX’s “Rescue Me.”
FX also announced on Tuesday that Academy Award-winning actress Marcia Gay Harden (”Pollock”) will be joining the Glenn Close legal drama “Damages” as a second-season series regular, while Ted Danson will return to the show for several episodes.
Fox, 47, a friend of Leary’s, was “really excited about the part,” Landgraf said.
The star of TV’s “Family Ties” and “Spin City” and the “Back to the Future” films was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991 and revealed his condition publicly in 1998.
I’m no casting expert but I think Fox’s role should be a pretty exciting one. It’s totally up into air as to how he’ll be characterized, but I’d have to guess his role would be a cement mixer. Or perhaps a martini maker. A paint preparer, maybe. Or a stint as Tatum O’Neal’s vibrator. So many possibilities!
