“This news makes me want to use a baby as a magic eight ball. Will you ever stop crying? *shake shake shake*”
—Vince at FilmDrunk is understandably annoyed that there is going to be a fucking Magic 8-Ball movie.

Cody ChestnuTT — Look Good in Leather
2003: As soon as I heard this for the first time, I went to my on-campus record store and bought The Headphone Masterpiece with dining dollars.
Unfortunately, Cody has since chosen to fall off the face of the Earth.
I just met comedian Margaret Cho at a popular Atlanta dive
This is mildly distressing for two reasons:
1.) She seems, by all accounts, to be a lovely person, and
2.) I loathe her stand-up, and directly mock it in an upcoming CollegeHumor article.
Because of Fact #1, I was gracious and even vaguely complimentary upon meeting her, despite Fact #2. I am unsure whether this makes me a.) polite, or b.) a total phony, but am likely deserving of either adjective.
Cartoon Network Launches MAD Magazine Show →

I took four weeks off from CollegeHumor to come to LA and write for this show. I used up all of my sick days, the production department’s two week hiatus, and most of Sam Reich’s God-like patience to make it work, but it’s been a fun and unique experience. Can’t wait to see it how it turns out!
“…MAD is an animated sketch-comedy series utilizing a chaotic mix of animation styles and twisted humor to pull back the curtain and expose the truth behind movies, TV shows, games, pop culture and, of course, curtains! Classic MAD magazine characters and features such as Alfred E. Neuman and Spy vs. Spy pop up, and no subject matter or individual will be safe from MAD’s barrage of parodies and sketches…”
When I saw the first promos for Mad TV in 1995, this is the kind of show I anticipated. Needless to say, I was an extremely disappointed 11-year-old. Ben, this is awesome, and I can’t wait to see it. The only way this news could possibly be any better is if it could somehow wipe the memory of Alex Borstein’s shill voice from the recesses of my brain.
P.S. I hope you didn’t tell them about this.
Wow, I just realized I haven't posted anything in days.
I’ve just been watching you all from the shadows.
