I feel like there's an even earlier progenitor for the Chappelle's Show conundrum. Call it the Scarface paradox perhaps?

I always wanted to see a TV show with less effort and talent put into it than the most ridiculous porn parody, and lo, as the New Year begins...

@Telly2Putts: For my @deadspin people!

"Happy Endings", "Ben and Kate", the impending doom of "Raising Hope" (although that has gotten 4 seasons and is close to hitting the magic 100 number), it's beginning to feel like me liking a show is proof it's going to wither on the vine and die.

I watched it for the first time tonight. It is nearly tolerable, and then submarines right into Completely Awful & Hilariously Inexplicable. Why anyone would waste a moment on this interminable film when "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" exists is beyond me.

I have said this before, and I'll say it again. The nation desperately needs a Bill of Rights refresher course, especially on No. 1. I don't think anyone actually understands what "Freedom of Speech" actually means.

I believe this is known as a "retcon troll".

I am consistently terrified that one day i'm going to write a headline with the word "Count" but forget to hit the "o" key.

Seriously.

All of this supports my theory that when you hit a certain level of wealth, you lose your grip on reality and begin to go insane. Because between this and half the shit in the Hammacher Schlemmer catalog, being rich must be like being in a non-stop wacky sitcom.

I am a committed dog person, and even I must admit that Maru may be the greatest pet of all time.

Welp, he's getting beaned next time he's in Atlanta.

Yet again, NBC is...

Obligatory.

There are so, so, SO MANY reasons to hate A&F.

I heard at Best Buy you're FORCED to wear a certain kind of shirt and pants.
