| Video: Diesel’s Captain America Cologne Smells Like Metrosexual Businessmen Posted: 13 Jul 2011 09:45 AM PDT Diesel sent us a bottle of their new cologne, inspired by the most patriotic of superheroes, Captain America. Cap has become pretty recognizable around NYC, what with the posters of Chris Evans solemnly posing with a stars-and-stripes shield plastered all over. So interns Paige and Stephanie took to Madison Square Park to ask unsuspecting bystanders what they thought the cologne actually smelled like, without actually showing them the bottle — which, awesomely, is Cap’s fist clenched against Nazis and B.O. Props to the guy who pulled every random movie out of thin air for the question of “What summer movie does this smell like?” He wasn’t so far off with Schindler’s List, actually. Captain America: The First Avenger hits theaters next Friday, July 22. Related posts: Post from: Crushable Video: Diesel’s Captain America Cologne Smells Like Metrosexual Businessmen  |
| Parenting Lessons from ‘Teen Mom’: Your Toddler Is Not a Kitten Posted: 13 Jul 2011 09:27 AM PDT Although this is the second episode of the season, I’m just now paying attention to the new intro graphics. It still has the Juno-inspired notebook pages, but the girls have little symbols that surround their names – Maci has lightning bolts (because she likes dirt bikes?), Farrah has a butterfly and a smiley face, Catelynn has hearts (Tyler?), and Amber has stars. They actually make me think of Lucky Charms cereal, and now I’m all hungry. Thanks a lot, show.
Amber and Gary are looking for houses. I need to call Lindsay Cross and ask about housing prices in Indiana, because I can’t believe those dimwits can afford a home. Gary is doing in-home health care, which is an actual job I’d respect him for if he hadn’t probably quit it by now to live off of Amber’s MTV income. Five seconds after they look at a house, the real estate agent calls to tell them they got approved for a mortgage. Leah sees that her parents are happy and wriggles around. She is the cutest thing, and I feel so sorry for her with those dumbbells for parents. Gary’s mom comes over and they tell her that in the past when Gary and Amber would fight Leah would cry and hit them. Oh, that’s encouraging. Later, there’s a scene where Leah plays on her little kiddie vanity (it’s a pink and white plastic dressing table similar to one I had as a kid) and Amber lifts Leah up by her scruff as if she’s a kitten. Leah, understandably, starts bawling. Can those nice people who adopted Carly come take Leah too? Amber announces that she is really “on edge” lately, so she and Gary are joining another her brother (pictured, because I didn’t want to post a picture of Amber yelling), his girlfriend,and their two kids for a weekend away at a water park or something. Oh, poor Amber. It must be so stressful not working, not studying for your GED, and not taking care of your kid. I don’t know how you balance it. In the car on the way there, Amber and Gary fight about dumb shit, and Gary tells Amber not to swear in front of “the daughter.” Oh, so Leah doesn’t even have a name now? The trip – not even the weekend trip, just the car trip – was a bust so she’s heading home. She talks on the phone to her brother, Shawn, who basically tells Amber she’s a moron and she needs to talk to Gary and chill out. Team Shawn! Amber tells Gary that if they’re not getting along by the end of the week, then they’re done. Done in that way that Sammi and Ronnie keep being done, right? At the water park, Amber voiceovers that she wants Leah to have fun and that she hopes Gary doesn’t piss her off. Classic Amber: blaming Gary for “annoying” her rather than herself for lashing out/hitting him. Amber’s two nephews – Shawn’s kids – are super cute, and it gives me hope that Leah will have some good playmates. Amber tells Shawn that she didn’t want to “bring drama,” but Amber can’t breathe without bringing drama. Shawn lectures Amber about swearing and about not being an adult. Amber says Gary is “freaking retarded” sometimes, and Shawn says they’re both retarded. Amber says that they’re in couples therapy, but Shawn says that they need anger management classes instead. Shawn, you are officially my favorite person on this show. As if to underline the point further, Gary comes over and Amber yells at him for interrupting her and then demands that he change Leah.

| Why Do I Love “Can’t Hug Every Cat” But Not “Last Friday Night” If They Share the Same Bass Line? Posted: 13 Jul 2011 07:33 AM PDT
I realized on my twentieth listen that “Can’t Hug Every Cat” shares a bass line with Katy Perry‘s “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)”: Both have that twangy guitar/keyboard combo thumping along behind the auto-tuned lyrics. I’m curious if The Gregory Brothers noticed this when they were remixing it with their Songify app, and if they figured they’d pull a track from a song that has become fairly successful. [Disclaimer: I have had no musical training -- I've never taken Anthropology of Music or Music Theory, so this is all funnelled through my untrained ear.] I’ve come up with a few reasons why “Last Friday Night” makes me want to claw my eardrums, while I’ll sing out the lyrics of “Can’t Hug Every Cat”:

| Nostalgia Alert: 7 Old-School ‘Harry Potter’ Products Posted: 13 Jul 2011 06:50 AM PDT Now if you need to get a gift for your Harry Potter obsessed cousin (or, fine, yourself), you can go to Hot Topic to get a Slytherin tank top, check Etsy for tiny Harry earings, or go to the official WB page and get an authentic-looking time turner. But in the old days before the films and the subsequent Potter swag explosion, there were only a few ways to show your HP alliance. Here are some wizarding gifts if you’re feeling a little nostalgic.

I love how Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is really bringing out the best from Harry Potter superfans as they try to deal with the franchise ending. A new candidate for Most Dedicated Fan is farmer Top Pearcy, 
AMBER
Apparently we at Crushable HQ aren’t the only ones who noticed that Matt Lewis (who plays underdog Neville Longbottom) 
As promised, “Can’t Hug Every Cat” — The Gregory Brothers‘ auto-tuned version of the eHarmony cat girl’s rant — has become de rigueur in the Crushable office; I’ve also shared it with my sister, my boyfriend, and anyone near a computer. But what makes it so addictive? Probably the same thing that makes it sound so familiar.
