if this were an episode of family guy, right now we'd cut away to a scene of macfarlane sitting at his computer with some sort of "amanda bynes turns 18" countdown website/widget prominently displayed on the screen.
If I wasn't still riding an Obama high this might have hurt my feelings a little more.

FOX announced its midseason schedule yesterday , and "The Cleveland Show" and "Sit Down, Shut Up" are nowhere to be seen. This is kind of confusing. I thought both shows were set to premiere in January 2009. I don't know what kind of weird scheduling FOX is going to do- are they going to hold off premiering the shows until summer?
Dave Chappelle will be interviewing James Lipton in the 200th episode of Inside the Actor's Studio, this Monday at 8pm PST.

Smartbunny:
here's contact info for Seth Mcfarlane: http://www.fanmail.biz/40526.html
That rape stuff is creepy considering the advocate may've very well conducted the best interview with him ever in Feburary: http://www.advocate.com/issue_story_ektid51793.asp
That said, he doesn't write all the episodes himself, so maybe the writers are desperately trying to be "edgy"
Thanks Jenny. Maybe I can fire off a letter. That's a good article too!
They've lampooned blaxploitation films and horror movies — heck, they even built an entire flick around lampooning the Hilton sisters. Now the Wayans family's spoof factory is reaching for its most sacred target yet: Zac Efron?
Hitherto known simply as "The Untitled Wayans Brothers Project," the upcoming film from Marlon, Shawn, Keenen Ivory and nephew Damien will be appropriately called "Dance Flick" and spoof movies like "Save the Last Dance," "Hairspray," "You Got Served" and, yes, "High School Musical."
"We watched a few [dance movies]. We watched a couple ... couple hundred thousand," writer/producer Shawn Wayans laughed when MTV News visited the set of the film over the summer, a late-night shoot that involved a complicated scene from the end of the movie. "We thought it'd be a funny [next step]."
Shawn's assertion that the team behind "Scary Movie," "Little Man" and "White Chicks" watched "a couple thousand" dance movies aside, it's hard to argue that the genre has seen so many new entries in recent years that it's reached a level within public consciousness large enough to satire.
Indeed, visiting the set was like a walk through some kind of bizarro role call, with actors and actresses all cast for their physical resemblances to their more famous targets. There was a plumper, perkier Nikki Blonsky (Tracy Transfat in the film); a grittier, more urban Omarion; and, um, well a very effeminate Efron.
Ask Shawn a simple question about what they're currently filming, and three different movies get name-checked in about 10 seconds.
"Basically, it's 'Step Up 2' on the streets, and our Tracy Transfat character, who's kinda like the big chubby girl from 'Hairspray,' got tossed into the air and lands on the car from 'How She Move' and blows the windows out, and so that's the ending of the big 'Step Up 2' dance scene," Wayans said of the setup, somehow managing to forget the living parodies of "Save the Last Dance" and "HSM" standing to his right and left.
While the style of the film will be similar in parts to the Wayans Brothers' other spoofs, the name behind the camera won't be. Well, not entirely.
Stepping into the spotlight is Damien Wayans — nephew to Shawn, Marlon, Keenen, et al — and a first-time director.
Just don't call it passing the baton.
"We ain't handing him the baton. We're running with him and we're all running together. We just gave him half the baton to run with," Shawn joked. "I see all of myself in Damien. He stole me basically. He's a thief. He stole my soul. I stole Keenen's soul. Lil' Damien stole all of our souls.
"It's a little bit mixed up," Shawn continued, the machinations of his newest spoof movie running in the background. "We're one big mixed-up family".

At least the Wayans are funnier than the dicks that do Epic Movie etc.
It's really amazing that there is so much talent concentrated in just one family.
What was the best concert you've been to?
-- Probably Sade. It was just so sexy and relaxing.
The Goodings are better.

Dan Rosen wrote the screenplay with the Gigolo Aunts lead singer Dave Gibbs. Rosen is attached to direct, while Duritz is producing.
Broken Lizard is composed of Erik Stolhanske, Paul Soter, Steve Lemme, Kevin Heffernan, Jay Chandrasekhar and producers Richard Perello and Julia Dray.
Shooting is scheduled to begin in mid-January.
My tag expired in October, and while driving this afternoon, I was talking on the phone about how I better not get pulled over before friday (when I can afford to get my new tag). In the middle of this conversation, I got pulled over for speeding.
Fucking seriously.
$104 for speeding + $69 for expired tag. God dammit.
