Geek Force FiveCast 008 (Video)

Wednesday, April 02, 2008

Today, Kaylee and I geek out about April Fools Day spoilers for Lost, one of which is supposedly true. These come from E!Online’s Kristin Dos Santos.

  1. One of the Freighters dies at the hands of Jack.
  2. There’s a whole underground city beneath the island, and that’s where the whispers come from.
  3. In a flashforward, Walt reveals the secrets of the Oceanic Six over the Internet.
  4. Walt is in the coffin.
  5. Juliet and Charlotte share a kiss.
  6. Desmond is not one of the Oceanic Six, but he is off the Island.
  7. Jin, Sawyer and Locke are alive on the Island in the future.
  8. Kate is pregnant.
  9. All of the “meat socks” (background survivors we have not yet met) will die by gassing.
  10. Juliet kills Claire.

So, which one do you think it is?

Coming To My Senses

Wednesday, April 02, 2008

Editor’s Note: This article concludes GF5’s April Fool’s Day Joke for 2008.

Well, I’m here now to admit that one day of blunt honesty was all I could stomach. I’m not sure that I’m ready yet to loudly, proudly, and daily proclaim my love for Hannah Montana, Tyra Banks, and all the rest. As you can see, I’ve undone the site’s temporary metamorphosis and gotten back to the basics (and to the far less eye-raping green hue). Today, it’s back to news and views on Nine Inch Nails and Lost and on all of those other things that I claim to love more than my one true love, Mister Ryan Seacrest.

P.S. If you loved the logo from yesterday, or if you just missed it, click here to relive the magic.

Ryan Seacrest To Host Three-Way

Tuesday, April 01, 2008

Editor’s Note: In case the date-stamp didn’t make it clear, this article was part of GF5’s April Fool’s Day Joke for 2008.

Ryan Seacrest will host a special three-way American Idol competition, Geek Force super-spies have learned. The competition will be between Sarah Silverman, Jimmy Kimmel, and Elizabeth Banks, each of whom has made a splash in the music industry this year with their “I’m Fucking So-and-So” songs. Silverman, of course, started the trend with “I’m Fucking Matt Damon.” Kimmel shot back at Silverman with “I’m Fucking Ben Affleck.” And Banks trumped the both of them by proclaiming loudly and proudly, “I’m Fucking Seth Rogen.”

Producers are in talks with Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, and Paula Abdul to reprise their roles as absolutely horrid judges of American musical talent.

Tyra and Janice Team Up for New ‘Get a Mac’ Ad Campaign

Tuesday, April 01, 2008

Editor’s Note: In case the date-stamp didn’t make it clear, this article was part of GF5’s April Fool’s Day Joke for 2008.

Geek Force insiders have learned that renaissance woman Tyra Banks and her former America’s Next Top Model cohort Janice Dickinson will join forces to collaborate on a new series of “Get a Mac” ads for Apple, Inc. It is unknown at this time whether or not “Get a Mac” vets John Hodgman and Justin Long will be included in the clips, but the plot synopsis our spies have uncovered details a scenario wherein Janice Dickinson, playing the part of the PC, becomes so flustered with Vista that she downgrades to Windows 3.1. Tyra Banks, playing the part of the Mac, insults the decrepit supermodel by telling her that she’s so old her 286-running ass couldn’t even boot Windows 95, and that she should just stop lying to herself about “downgrades” and accept that she belongs in a museum. Rumor has it that the first honest-to-goodness catfight in Apple advertising history will ensue.
