Scanner Highs And Lows: Video game girlfriends

HIGHS:

You know it's been a good year for television when we can say the Emmys turned out "unusually fair."

This whole steampunk phenomenon is strange and enjoyable, but it may have peaked with the steampunk vibrator fad.

While the pictures may not look the greatest when leaked to the internet, we were still thrilled to see 3D nudity invade the mainstream magazine market, especially since Miranda Kerr is the one cutting the proverbial ribbon.

Street artist/kingpin Banksy dumped his excellent anti-BP art project on the street this week.

We can't help it, but we love this whole public flirtation between January Jones and Jason Sudeikis.

It's about time someone took on The Real Housewives of New York City -- for gay guys.

LOWS:

We hope that the President of France sends in a team of assassins to wipe out these psychos who love stoning and think the First Lady of France is a hooker.

"Man seeks Honey I Shrunk The Kids roleplaying partner on Craigslist" is not a headline you see every week... or that we thought we'd ever have to see.

Some people are burnt out on Mad Men, but with the possible exception of that goofy-awesome-ridiculous show True Blood, is there anything sexier on TV right now?

We suppose it's difficult to plunk kids down in front of a Disney movie and try to explain to them not to learn any life lessons from it...

Meghan McCain is out with a new book, in which she refers to the Mitt Romney kids and the term "crazy sex" in the same paragraph.

And we still don't quite understand this story about guys who take their Nintendo DS video game character girlfriends on real vacations.
