Hey-oooo!!
I’m unconvinced that this JnKp8 thing isn’t a big publicity stunt.
You are correct! Yes!
Phil Hartman was a better Ed McMahon than Ed McMahon. RIP
Now he’s delivering million-dollar checks with Jesus.
rmontcal: i think the big hollywood machine eated them.
Heyo! Off to the couch in the sky or in hell depending on Jeebus’ view of being a deadbeat debtor.
Who knew that a ball busting narcissist and an immature dickweed’s crazy ass marriage would fail under the national spotlight?
Just so I can maintain my indie cred and remain SFW: I have no idea who in the fuck Jon and Kate are, but “it’s a feline term for the exit to the birth canal, not a conveyance for circus performers.”
P.S. Now he’s awarding Sinbad 3.75 stars from heaven (single salty tear rolls down cheek).
ManchuCandidate: even more unfortunate: Kate’s Reverse Mullet is catching on with middle-aged women….
JadedDIssonance:
I think it’s great. The rev-mullet is a warning light for me to run so far away any female that has one.
Thanks for the healthcare premium reduction, Ed!
Somebody needs to do a Shep Fairey poster of the martyr “Neda”. Then it’s game on!
Today we are all dead reverse-mulleted sidekicks martyred for freedom on MySpace.
With apologies to Neda who does not deserve to be lumped in with these vulgarians.
Wow. Nothing about the Metro accident? Strange.
bitchincamaro: At least digitally, becoming Shep Fairey-ized is now as easy as plugging in a crass photo at obamaicon dot something. Nobody wants to do the hard work anymore.
tehbenton: Nothing but an entire post just before this one with updates, condolences and well-wishes, still being thoughtfully added to.
“French military ships searching in the area where the plane crashed have “heard sounds”"
Might have been “whales”.
Up until this past weekend, I really had no idea who the fuck Jon and Kate were, aside from being two of the many imbeciles gracing the magazine covers in check-out aisles. Chain ‘em all to a barge and sink it into the Laurentian Abyss so we can all focus on the real world.
French military ships detected “sounds” as they trolled the Atlantic for evidence from the crashed Air France flight, but the noises were not coming from the missing black boxes … they were coming from inside the house.
THEN WHO WAS PHONE?
Also.
Never shoot anybody in front of a Youtubes.
A black box for marriages is a fantastic idea! In the objective sense. Subjectively, not so much.
J&K+8 fall under the rubric: give ‘em bread & circuses to distract ‘em from reality, except in this case we only get to witness weird sideshow freaks & no hobo beans to eat. I imagine watching them on the teev would be worse than witnessing a train wreck (with apologies and sympathy to those involved in metro crash).
President Beeblebrox: I AM NOT NAIL!
Ah, Ed - we hardly knew ye…
I’m just waiting for John to acquire a machete so the show can be retitled “John Minus Nine.”
“Will We Ever Find The ‘Black Box’ From The Wrecked Gosselin Marriage?”
Do you really want to see it after she’s popped out all of those puppies? At this point it probably looks like something that fell out of a lion’s mouth.
Where did MySpace go wrong? Just a guess, but it probably had something to do with letting every prostitute in North America spam its users for free.
I always suspected that Kate had a black box. Carpet and drapes ya know.
tehbenton: Wow. Nothing about the Metro accident? Strange.
It’s just that trains wrecks aren’t in and of themselves, per se, y’know, very much in the least, funny.
Unless its a train wreck called “Jon and Kate,” (which I haven’t seen, but my peeps tells me its larfable).

1. Candidacy of Mousavi, disciple of Khomeini during Islamic revolution, represented by photographs of seductive Persian women.
2. Election results track transparent pre-election polling data from Western sources.
3. Claims of election fraud, protests broadcast incessantly (contrast with lack of media attention to absence of democratic process in Saudi Arabia, China, etc.)
4. Iranian woman bystander shot by unknown gunman at long range, death filmed; instant martyr.
