By Giania • Nov 6th, 2009 • Category: Art

Hot: This is what happens when cultural icons collide, in many colorful, delightful ways. Monty Python’s Spanish Inquisition sketch has stood out from their amazingly memorable show (Monty Python’s Flying Circus!

Hot: Don’t get me wrong, I do love my job, and I am sure that the people at Valleywag, Wonkette, Gawker, Gizmodo, and Defamer all have to work very hard. Still, with this disclosure of the new pay scale for 2008, I can’t help but be ridiculously jealous. Who wouldn’t want to get paid money [...]
