"This is a once in a lifetime event," said some scientist on the 'Today Show' this morning. "How often do we hit the moon?" NOT OFTEN ENOUGH, if these INCREDIBLY UNFULFILLING IMAGES are anything to go by. Where are the explosions? Where is the destruction? The moon is probably LAUGHING AT OUR IMPOTENT RAGE RIGHT NOW. I can hear its smirking, dismissive tone: "You call yourself a planet? That's the best you can do? I've had harder impacts from junk I picked up off the galaxy. Nice try." DAMN YOU, NASA, you've played us all for fools once more.

12

This is like that time Geraldo opened Al Capone's vault...
A great analogy for the effects of topical skin care creams and lotions (insert product placement here.)
Look, you just can't expect the kill the moon with bombs: it really takes hand-to-hand combat. There was a X-Men issue about this not long ago.
Haven't these people ever seen Space:1999?
It's okay! It happens sometimes. Let's cuddle.
And the moon is all like Nia Long in "Boiler Room": "Oh, honey, you were never hitting it."
Today we are all Giovanni Ribisi.
Here's what went wrong: we let the scientists fuck it all up, again. Fire those pocket-protectors and get Michael Bay in there. Sammy Hagar can do a theme song.
Oh well, it's just a sound-stage anyway.
What was that about a pound of something and $50,000 and gold and water and ice?
The moon laughs, knowingly.
Um pretend there was a link in there:
