The gimmick: Oshack only interviewed Asian USC students—because in the world of misguided network television humo...
Never Teach Your Kids About Lightning
I have a 5-year-old kid. One of my jobs as a parent is to read books to the kid so that the kid can be smart and make lots of money and eventually buy me a big fucking house that I can drunkenly vomit all over, Gloria James-style. One of the things every parent should do before reading a book to a c...

Broadcast People: We'll Pay For Old Footage Of Things Like That Fenway Three-Way And Chris Berman Yelling At The Help

(You might also recall the Bill O'Reilly "Fuck it, we'll do it live" video.) These videos first popped ...

The <em>Postmortal</em> Live Funbag
Two and a half years ago, I was laid off from my day job in advertising. And since I had to find a way to make enough money to support my family (blogging didn't quite make up the difference), I knew I had to do something productive with all of the newfound free time I had.
