I would think that the incentive would be to keep the weaker comic. I do recall that the only thing that I laughed out loud about during the routines was the "two minute" comment that Corey made early on in her performance.

I'd love to see the contracts that these guys signed. If they don't make it to the end, are they obliged to take a NBC/Comedy Central deal? Cuz this could be a cheap and easy way for one of the other networks to pick up some good talent that already got some national exposure without having to spend too much.

I was heartily amused by the rat disposal process, but the real laugh at loud moment for me in the whole show was Tess on her shopping spree at the end with the stylist. I didn't see the first three episodes, but I think she's good, and I hope to see her down the line.

Yes, yes, yes. I have a Soul Cracker g-string, although I am not wearing it today. I also have seen Flickerstick live and missed Harlow because I think I was sick or something (also, I hated Harlow, but Mr. Kiss wanted to see them). Bring back Bands on the Run.

I caught a portion of Last Comic Standing. It was the portion where spike was crying. WTF? Her argument re "people don't think I'm funny" seemed so absurd given that she was a fricking mess. No one really finds blithering basket cases funny.

Guarini to be thrown in the slammer?
 
As if his movie weren't a greater crime.

ARLINGTON, Texas, July 2 — Justin Guarini was ticketed by Grand Prairie police after witnesses said he almost ran over a young girl with a personal watercraft at Joe Pool Lake, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.


If convicted of unsafe boat operation, Guarini faces a fine of up to $2,000 and a maximum 180 days in jail, according to a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Web site.

In this particular contest, entourages are allowed, but backup air bands are not. An air drum contest could be entertaining (live version of Moby Dick, anyone?). An air drum machine contest would be boring.

You're right though about these comics being cut-throat. It's because this is a legit big chance for one of them to make it big. The stakes are so much higher for them than for, say, Joe Millionaire or Big Brother. Hence it's edgier. Reminds me of my favorite reality show ever, Bands on the Run, but so far we don't have engaged contestants with newborn babies running around banging groupies and stewardesses. Yet.

Oh, and WTF was going on with Dat? Plotting out his "laughs per minute" and other aspects of his routine in both graphically and in linear charts? What a fuckin nut! I can't believe how awesome the show is, and apparently it's doing pretty well.

str8.

I think that's what I like the best about this show. These are real comics, or at least people who have put some effort towards becoming real comics. It's something that they've been working hard for, and it's a legitimate chance. I appreciate how much it means to them that much more.

The Dat charts were hysterical. They reminded me of that stupid Matthew Broderick-as-a-stalker movie from a few years ago. I can't believe he fessed up to them in all seriousness. At the very least he should totally incorporate those into his act. Show the audience how OCD he is. I can't believe he doesn't realize that he's sitting on a goldmine of material right there...

Give 'em credit for not using Celine Dion. If they had, someone would have had to outright severely lecture Canada in retaliation.

(edited to take a gentler stance, as I sincerely wish nothing bad to happen to any Canadian on account of Celine Dion nor for any other reason.)

Similar to circle jerk (why do I know these things???), although with a bit of incentive. A group of guys sit around a piece of bread and TCB. Each guy jizzes onto the piece of bread upon achieving ecstasy. The last guy to shoot his load must eat the bread. Apparently, there are conflicting issues of being embarrassed/not turned on enough to jizz quickly when surrounded by your pals and really wanting to jizz quickly because snowballing is really not your thing, and you don't really want to "know" your friends in that way.

Each day brings another reason why I need to hang out with a different crowd.

Funny, but this brings up another reason why I hate the FOXification of the news and why I think that Rupert Murdoch is the antichrist.

On the local FOX station last night, they were showing a bumper for the 10 PM news. The announcer in an ominous tone over footage of "From Justin to Kelly" intoned:

"Justin Guarini -- in trouble with the law.
Will he wind up serving time for an incident --
INVOLVING A CHILD?"

The implication was such that he had some inappropriate interaction with a "young fan", nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

I wasn't about to get suckered in to watching, so thanks for the link.

Fucking tabloid "journalists".

I noticed something similar on NBC the other day. The show was talking about how the Supreme Court handed down a ruling that was going to let the priests who molested children get away with it. The way they reported it was suggesting that the ruling was the Lawrence (sodomy) case. But it was in a fact a case over ruling a statute that had altered the statute of limitation to allow the prosecution of these cases.

It was a pretty clear effort to do a switch and bait, and they never once mentioned what the actual decision was, leaving the implication that the Lawrence decision is allowing priests to molest children.

Bryan Adams is from Vancouver. Celine Dion is from Quebec. If you knew anything about Canada, you would realize that it would be ridiculous for her to promote a Vancouver bid.

OK, I'm sure most of us didn't know that - some people view Canada as 1 huge province, not bothering to segregate.
We just hear "Canada" and that's all we need. Those of us closer to the border know better.

But what about Triumph? They could have used Triumph. I love Triumph.

P.S. Anyone who has never been to Whistler is really missing a treat. You can ski just about 365 days/year and it's truly beautiful. The snow rocks (except in the summer) and you can keep busy doing other things like mountain bike, golf blah blah blah. Brought to you by the BC tourist commission.

I know and I agree. Do not think I think the Bryan Adams choice was ideal (although they did what was appropriate for the voters, because they won).

And the FBs favorite band, the new pornographers is also from there, I believe.

Giant sea creature baffles scientists
 
SANTIAGO, Chile, July 2 — A huge, gelatinous sea creature found washed up on Chile’s coast has stumped scientists, who have sent samples to a specialist in France for help in identifying the mystery specimen. (Because France is expert in gelatinous sea creatures?)
The dead creature was mistaken for a beached whale when first reported last week, but experts who went to see it said the 40-foot-long mass of decomposing lumpy gray flesh apparently was an invertebrate.
The round leathery substance looks like a mammoth jelly fish and is about as long as a school bus.
Giant octopus live at a depth of up to 9,500 feet and only rise to the surface when they die. Specimens have been known to be as long as 30 feet.
There was speculation that the mass might be a whale skin, but Cabrera said it was too big and did not have the right texture or smell.

Actually, my point, such as it was, was that it makes me mad when ignoramuses talk about bombing a place that I care about. I'm just a little (overly) sensitive about it. Of course if it's done in a funny way, it makes me laugh so I don't care (see South Park).
