Random Word Machine has a sense of humor

While watching the game show Lingo, I came about a total fail. On Lingo you have 5 chances to figure out what word they are thinking of by taking guesses.

Two couples compete against each other. I assumed they were couples. That would make sense. There was a male/female black couple and a male white couple. I assume they are dating. Look at the word they had to guess.


I thought I should take a picture. Maybe that's a funny random act. The male team won and when into a the bonus round.
The white team kicked the other teams ass. Chuck Woolery kept harping on the slaughter.


Followed by this random word choice...


And this the random word machine got mean...


Because game shows are governed by the FCC questions have to random, so it's strange that these words came up when they did.

Time Warner Finally Gets Around to Canceling it's AOL

The chat rooms will be a little more empty now that media giant Time/Warner finally got around to canceling it's AOL. "We forgot we even owned them," said one exec, "We never use it. But one day while looking over the bills, we realized we were still paying for them."

The process to end the relationship was not an easy one. First they had to find the number to call to cancel and then "we had to stick to our guns. AOL kept offering great deals to keep them around," said TW's financial officer, "they kept dropping their price and even offered us a magazine subscription. It was tempting."

No word on what is going to happen to TW's Hometown Homepage.

It's been 30 years...

Are we still supposed to believe Dame Edna is a woman? Or even funny? She saussy! (That's saucy mixed with sassy.)

Networks want you to sit there for another hour or so

A couple of weeks ago I joked that NBC was going to expand the Super Bowl to 4 1/2 days. This would make logical sense since NBC expanded "celebrity Apprentice" and "Biggest Loser" to two hours a week and their finale to three hours. Over on another network they made their Bachelor work an extra hour.

How can you do this with 1 hour dramas? Put them back to back with their spin offs.
"Grey's Anatomy" and "Private Practice" already make up a block.
"90210" will be followed by "Melrose Place" on The CW.
CBS is putting "NCIS" and the new spin off "NCIS: Los Angeles" back to back.
CBS also pick up NBC's "Medium" putting it after "Ghost Whisper." That's two hours of women talking to ghosts. "The New Adventures of Old Christine" - a show about a divorced woman with a child who has to start over who is still friendly with her ex and his new love is followed by "Gary Unmarried" - a newly divorced guy with kids who is still close with his ex and her new love.
NBC's "Parks & Rec" will air at 8:30 just before the show it was spawned from, "The Office."

Now you don't have to think.

I don't think they meant this

CBS' CSI:NY Goes after H

Recently CSI:NY aired an episode about... (or as Canadians say "about") -"A murder leads CSI to a group of white supremacists, the discovery of precious items stolen from Holacost survivors, and perhaps the uncovering of a former Nazi guard."

SPOILER!! (honestly, if you haven't seen the show yet, you ain't seeing it)
Ed Asner is the guard, I never trusted him...ooops he plays the guard...I still don't trust him.

He spent years hiding among the Jews until the third rated (in TV ratings only) CSI team uncovered him. He proclaims -"We should have killed them all" or something like that as he drags away or after Fred pulls off his mask just before Scooby gets a Scooby Snack(tm) I don't remember which.


"Paul "King of TV" Goebel points out on his podcast, that CBS puts up a very strange warning -

Would we be offended by that fact that the Holocaust happened at all? Or that you used it in a plot device?

(I didn't know how to put up an audio file - so I decided to use video and add a couple of things. Those guys don't endorse [or know about] the visual parts of the video.)

Here's the trailer for the ep.

My complaint is that they did the same device on the Jeffersons. Some how George walks into a white supremacist conference in the upper East Side.

SPOILER! (again - If you haven't seen it it yet, you really are never going to see it.)

A white guy collapses and George does CPR and saves his life. As he's being brought out in a stretcher he tells his blonde moptop kid, "You should've let me die." I always found that rang false. Why on his way out did he have to shit on black people one more time. "We get it! You are a racist." But anyway- years later CSI in the same city as George - pulls the same move.

NPR Talks about farts

NPR took a short break from reporting on the recession and swine flu to let us know about the death of the great comedian Dom DeLuise. It was the only obit I read or heard that mentioned DeLuise's use of scatological humor.

No one else felt it was important to his use of fart jokes. The reporter sounds pained to read the upcoming lines introducing a clip of Dom farting in "History Of the World Part 1."

it's like she was convinced by some smart ass news writer that it was important to mention the farting.

Here's more Dom....

Is he gone?

As of this moment TMZ and only TMZ reports that great comic actor Dom DeLuise has passed away. You would think other news sources would pick up on it on it if it was true. Why TMZ? Did he die while walking into Hyde? Was it shot on a cell phone? Was he not wearing underwear?

Hopefully, as the day goes on we can get confirmation, either way. He out lived James Cocco.

I talked about this before...
There are automatic ads that show up on websites that reflect what is being talked about on that site. (Does that make sense?)
On the page about DeLuise's possible death, there's an ad to have a flat stomach. Not now. Tacky.

He was very funny. Here are some videos of him in action...
The best to his family.

Here's a video of him with Dean Martin...

Experts give it to November before Chevy Chase loses his humility and becomes and asshole again

As you just read in the subject line...Experts give it to November before Chevy Chase loses his humility and becomes and asshole again.

Next fall Chase costars in the funny looking new show with the popular and likable Joel McHale. The show should have some "Ed" like success. Which will put Chase back in the spotlight so he can stop pretending to like everyone.

"We think by the third episode," said one noted behaviorist, "Chase will start telling autograph seekers to fuck off again."
