True Life: We Make Very Bad Decisions About Our Programming

Just read the press release MTV's upcoming development slate and one particular project stuck out at me:

"UNTITLED SKETCH COMEDY SHOW (WORKING TITLE)

Jamie Foxx executive produces the next generation of "In Living Color."'

The next generation of "In Living Color?" Who asked for this? (Besides out of work fly girls.) Here's what I'm going to start developing as to be ahead of the curve:

-The next generation of polio
-The next generation of not having electricity
-The next generation of Jennifer Lopez starring in movies
-The next generation of MTV if you see this please still let me write for this show?

Thanks to Elisa Bassist for her mention in this article from "The Rumpus." A lot of the other articles she mentions are very, very funny and worth checking out. Though I am a little worried that all the other women on the list and I are gonna get on the same cycle now. Oh well, nothing gained, nothing lost, am I right? (except lots and lots of menstrual blood.)

The Sound of Settling

Here's a link to an idea of mine that The Onion used for their Radio Network.

Record Number of Americans Settling for Sex at Home

Brings Me Back to My Doom Days ...

Me < Frogger

I discovered recently that there is a "Barista" application on the iPhone. As in, what I do for a living. Is an application. On a phone. That you only need an index finger to use.

At least it costs $2.99. Meaning I'm worth more than "Lemonade Tycoon," but less than "Pocket God." I think I can be OK with that ...

Hail to tha Motha F'N Chief

New Landline series, "Obamtourage."

I had this idea a few months ago and thanks to the hard work and vision of the Landline folk, it came out pretty darn impressive (that is a DIRECT QUOTE from the 75 year old man I showed it to.)

Waiting for Jim Carrey

Time Warner has got my balls in quite the death grip and alas, I am waiting for the cable guy this fine Tuesday morning. Not that exciting. What IS exciting is the Pandora station I currently have going ... If you are ever really down, like if you've had a tough Monday, or they were out of peanut butter Twix bars at the bodega, or a close family member has passed, I suggest creating a Hall & Oates station on Pandora. Instant gratification. So far, I have heard "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" by Leo Sayer, "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over" by Lenny Kravitz (who will be my next station, by the way), and "The Heart of Rock & Roll" by Huey Lewis & The News.

I sorta hope the cable man never comes ...
