Millions of Americans Waste Entire F*cking Afternoon

COLORADO (The Borowitz Report) - Moments after a little boy who was believed to be in his parents' homemade helium balloon was found safe and sound, millions of Americans came to the realization that they had flushed the entire fucking afternoon down the fucking toilet.

"I watched the entire drama unfold and then it turned out that no drama had unfolded," said Carol Foyler, 32, of Missoula, Montana. "I can't tell you how pissed I am at that fucking kid."

At their Colorado home, the parents of six-year-old Falcon Heene said that they were relieved that their son was all right and that they were pushing forward with their plans to build a giant child-operated flame-throwing robot.

Comedy Central & Canadians

Some requests to those who post content from Comedy Central - especially 'popular' clips like those featured on The Daily Show & The Colbert Report:

1) Comedy Central is *blocked. Until vids submitted from Comedy Central are automatically tagged with the *blocked invocation, please take the 0.5 seconds and do it yourself.

2) Please post the original date of broadcast in the description. This makes it easier for Canucks to search and find content for The Daily Show (http://watch.thecomedynetwork.ca/the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart/full-episodes) or The Colbert Report (http://watch.thecomedynetwork.ca/the-colbert-report/full-episodes/)

3) If a fellow Canadian does seek out and watch the clip in question, take an additional 3 seconds and post the link in a comment so others can bask in its visual glory.

Thanks =)

Why You're An Idiot For Not Watching 'Mad Men'

Mad Men is hands down one of the best shows ever to be aired and here's why I can't recommend it enough:

via Daniel O'Brien's blog on Cracked.com

"Statistically speaking, you’re not watching Mad Men, and the fact that season three premiers on Sunday likely has no affect on you. I’m here, out of the kindness of my heart, to gently explain to you why you’re wrong, and why you’re a bad person for doing the things you do. Watch Mad Men. Watch the shit out of it.

I’m only bringing up Mad Men because I genuinely think it’s one of the best shows on television. Not too long ago, I asked “What the fuck happened to TV?”, and I brought up The Hills, Jon & Kate Plus 8 Minus Several Crucial Chromosomes, A Show That Isn’t Actually About Cougars So Who Gives a Shit and I’m a Celebrity- Go Fuck Yourself as not only examples of television’s horrible degeneration, but also fairly convincing signs of the coming apocalypse. If you agreed with my thesis that those shows were like a like a special kind of cancer that insulted your masculinity as it slowly killed you, you’re probably wondering where all the good shows have gone. Mad Men is the answer to that. Here’s why.

Don Draper, the hard-to-love yet impossible-to-hate protagonist is a fairly complicated guy. Very little is known about him and his prowess as an ad man is unexplainable. He sits around in his office, alternately drinking highballs and looking intense, and at the end of the day, pulls a sales pitch directly out of his ass and flings it around the office like a monkey flinging feces around a cage (or an office, really). Except in Don’s case, the sales pitch isn’t smelly and you don’t care if any of it gets stuck in your hair because it is solid fucking gold.

Still, it’s not just Don’s ability as an ad man that I respect, it’s his less-than-conventional solutions to problems. We’re going to take a look at a few of the problems Draper’s faced as well as the solutions a lesser man (you) would come up with. Then, we’re going to see what happens when you Draper that shit and turn to solutions that Don Draper actually used in the series."

"'We are thrilled to have our incredible cast back. The call has already gone out to the animators to put the mouths back on the characters,' Futurama creators Groening and David X. Cohen said in a joint statement."

There are now one thousand video submissions with the tag *media.
Is it time for a dedicated channel for this hot topic?

Dates for Television Shows

There are a number of popular shows that air on television that frequently make it on the sift and are region blocked --notably, The Daily Show, and The Colbert Report. Since the commentary of the hosts and content of the show is news based, it might be handy for those in region-blocked countries (Canada, other countries...) if the date of the episode was included in their descriptions for others to find in mirrored sites of country specific sites like thecomedynetwork.ca or other sources.

Though posting dates are always available, I thought this courtesy might also be useful with many news videos as well.

Thoughts?

Will Arnett on "Arrested Development" Status :D

A while back, it seemed that the only thing that was holding up an "Arrested Development" movie was Michael Cera's involvement. Since then, Cera (Superbad) has confirmed that he will come onboard, but things are still not going anywhere.

MTV News caught up with Will Arnett to get an update. "There's no script as of right now, but it's something that Mitch [Hurwitz] is actively working on and getting ready for, and we're hoping to start shooting by the end of the year," he revealed. "I know that's one of the goals. There are a lot of pieces that have to come together. There are what, like, nine cast members plus various other people like Mitch and Ron Howard, and everybody kind of has to get their brain around this one delicious souffle."

Arnett also laughed at the media's obsession with the idea of a Bluth family reunion on the big screen. "God, I've never known a movie who's every step of development has been as closely followed. This movie's gonna be such a disaster."

A quote from future Mitch Hurwitz after the movie is released: "I've made a huge mistake!"
