Morning Meme: The Other Evans Brother's Fake Movies, Meet Kilowog, and Preview the Entire NBC Fall Season

Plus Matthew Mitcham tries a disguise, Kate Gosselin does the Emmys, and we have a Best. Ears. Ever. contest with Cheyenne Jackson.

My new hero is 38-year-old JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater, who took action after one too many obnoxious passengers treated him like crap (and after being hit in the head with luggage). He took to the PA system on the plane, cursed out the passengers, grabbed beer from the beverage cart, activated the emergency slide, and exited the plane and drove home. He was later arrested there while “in the midst of having sexual relations.” If you’re going to quit, that’s the way to do it.

Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum, who is running for governor, wants to outlaw gay foster parents in the state. Sounds like something George Rekers said was a good idea. Seriously, Florida – I’ve lived down there, you’re smarter than this.

Here are Ten Buildings That Look Like Other Things.

Every weekend for four years, a church pastor and his flock have been protesting with signs and bullhorns on the sidewalk in front of a local strip club. The strippers had finally had enough, and last Sunday right as the congregation was showing up for service, they put down lawn chairs on the sidewalk in front the church and sat down in their tiniest bikinis, with signs of their own.

I’m not entirely certain I’ve ever heard of this happening, but after only 10 episodes the TBS sitcom Are We There Yet got an order for 90 more episodes so that it can be sold directly into syndication to pay for production costs.

Kate Gosselin is doing a skit for the opening of the Emmy Awards later this month. Just when you thought television couldn’t hit a new low…

Here’s an illustrated storybook of Unicorn Being A Jerk.

Chris Evans plays an action star in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (opening this week!). Now they’re released movie posters for his fictional films with titles like Action Doctor, Thrilled to Be Here, and You Just Don’t Exist.

Friday Night Lights hottie Zach Gilford has joined Shonda Rhimes’ medical drama Off the Map as a doctor. He’s replacing a role in the pilot that had me wondering gay or Eurotrash?

The Real World DC’s Mike Manning is sorely missed with the trainwreck that is The Real World: New Orleans. But you can look at new photos of Mike on his website that are airbrushed to look like action figures .

It turns out that our neighbors to the north are potty mouths, and swear way more than Americans. I figure if it was that cold that much of the year, I’d swear a lot as well.  h/t Cathy

This satirical piece claims that moving the journalists from Conde Nast into One World Trade Center is worse than any mosque blocks away could be. At least I think it’s satire.

Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google, thinks our weak human minds are ill-prepared for the impending data revolution:

There was 5 exabytes of information created between the dawn of civilization through 2003, but that much information is now created every 2 days, and the pace is increasing ... People aren't ready for the technology revolution that's going to happen to them," says Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, at the Techonomy conference at Lake Tahoe yesterday. And where is that data coming from? From you, you unprepared, data-generating fools! "Show us 14 photos of yourself and we can identify who you are. You think you don't have 14 photos of yourself on the internet? You've got Facebook photos! People will find it's very useful to have devices that remember what you want to do, because you forgot.
