What Can You Tell Us About Your Days with the Unabomber?

Kidz on Drugz

What kind of idiot/genius would do this to their child and then post such a funny/awful thing on the internet?

News Radio on Hulu

News Radio suffered from the kind of inconsistency that makes sitcom watchers furious. But let's face it, damn...when they were on, they were on. They managed to avoid and outright mock almost every standard sitcom cliche - the will they or won't they of Ross and Rachel, Jim and Pam. Phil Hartman is an elegant asshole. And Andy Dick doesn't suck. Hulu has 62 episodes on line. If you missed out on this show, it's the perfect way to catch up.

The End of the World Has Never Looked Better

Mamet Owns Piven

ZACH:

I'll keep this short and sweet. Jeremy Piven left the Broadway show "Speed-the-Plow" written by David Mamet because of an unusually high level of Mercury in his body. With this comes a great response from Mamet.

"I talked to Jeremy on the phone, and he told me that he discovered that he had a very high level of mercury," Mamet said. "So my understanding is that he is leaving show business to pursue a career as a thermometer."

Offensive?

It wasn't all just Amy Poheler leaving or Kanye being flatter than your first girlfriend on SNL this week. Seems the show has drawn a bit of controversy for the following depiction of NY Gov. Patterson.



The skit has been decried by Patterson who called it a "third-grade depiction of people and the way they look" that could lead others to believe that "disability goes hand-in-hand with an inability to run a government or business." Similarly the National Federation for the Blind has said that the skit was an attack on blind people.

I'm as PC as the next liberal, but brew ha ha over this seems to be a bit reaching. The blindness is used, perhaps distastefully, but only for a couple moments. The real target is Patterson himself, who becomes the butt of a few warranted cocaine jokes and questions about his seeming unpreparedness for the post. Both, I would argue, have more to do with his personality. Of course, as the saying goes, "no body hates my little brother, but me." And in an increasingly sensative time, it's hard to say what's offensive or not. But the "controversy" over this seems to underscore a hard fact about doing comedy these days -- someone's gonna take it the wrong way.

So, what do you think?

Luke Wilson: True Story

Pierce Hammerstein.




Long time buddy Matt Steadman has always has had a wide and somewhat bizarre friend network(Kinky Friedman apparently in there somewhere).
One night in his Atlanta apartment one of Matts friend, a T-Mobile worker, revealed that he had discovered he had the ability to look into T-Mobile users accounts(including celebrities but was hesitant to do it.
Matt asked if he could get him some numbers, his replied he thought he could only look at two without ending up on the radar, but agreed to the request. Matt's answer to this was:
I want Luke Wilson....and Ryan Phillipe.
The numbers were soon accuired yet several weeks passed by with no action.
Ryan Phillipes number was tried but as it turned out was an old account and no longer existed.
Finally at 3am on a Tuesday, a drunken friend of Matt's was talking to him from another room. When he heard no reply he walked into the living room and saw an innebriated Matt
slouched on the sofa, holding his cell phone, he brought the phone to hear and what followed was this:

Phone Rings several times

Voice: Hm, hello?

Matt:...Is this Luke?

Voice: Yeah.

Matt: Luke Wilson?

Luke Wilson: ...It is.

Matt: Luke, I just want to say,God Bless You.

Luke Wilson: (silence)

Luke Wilson: God Bless You too man.
