Comedy Central recently censored an episode of South Park after the creators received death threats from a radical Muslim website. The group was upset over an episode that had aired the week prior, depicting the Prophet Mohammed in a bear suit. Seattle-based cartoonist Molly Norris, disappointed in the censorship, created a satirical cartoon calling for May 20th to be “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day.” more ›

The above clip features the Amazon guru's appearance on last night's episode of The Simpsons, in which Bezos pisses himself at Billionaire Camp. We know, Jeff, we're nervous about the economy too. more ›

Engineers will be filling the easily-laughed-at but fiercely-protected monorail with kegs. A keg party on the monorail--sounds promising or at the very least, nauseating.

You Seattle old-timers will remember that KCPQ-13 reception was once very hit-or-miss. Wasn't bothersome in the 80s since the station's schedule was mostly old, bad movies.

We attended an advance, VIP screening of The Simpsons movie at Cinerama on Friday night (or at least that's what the guy who sold us the ticket for the special price of $45 told us). more ›

The Simpsons make the transition to the big screen a couple weeks from now (July 27th to be exact) and we have to say that we're not as psyched for the feature film as much as we would have been, say, ten years ago. Now that the show is approaching its (dear god) 19th season, it's just not as good as it used to be. Yeah yeah yeah, that's totally a crotchety old man cop-out and the same could be said about "kids these days" and "their infernal noise," but somewhere along the way, the Simpsons veered from uber-literate scripts with witty storylines that were ironical and satirical, yet still cohesive and emotionally sound to the utter nonsense which can only be derived from a brick of hash, a pound of vicodin, and the Random Plot-o-tron 3000™. The result? Homer becomes Defense Secretary! The Simpsons go to Siberia! Bart gets monkey pox! All of which can be so tiringly hit or miss. more ›
