A judge has ordered Lindsay Lohan to work in a morgue as part of her sentence. On her first day in the morgue, Lindsay was shocked and disgusted when the coroner pulled back a sheet to reveal her career.
How about those politics? That's really something else, huh? You've got that one guy saying "We need to improve America's novelty keychains." And that one lady...forget about it. She's all "My coffee tasted weird this morning. What can we do about that?" And then the guy from the other party was like "Hey...has anybody seen my flag pin? It was on my jacket a second ago. I can't find it anywhere." Man, it's getting crazy out there.
In more interesting (and more relevant) news, Super Bowl XLII is almost here. And with the Patriots looking to be the first undefeated team since the '72 Dolphins facing off against Eli Manning and the upstart Giants; this promises to be one of the most memorable Super Bowls ever. But no matter who wins, have fun spending the next day on YouTube looking at commercials you saw during the game. Because everything is better when the image is smaller, grainier and you've already seen it. All hail technology!
In entertainment news, the latest season of American Idol is underway. I was shocked to find out that they were going on despite the writer's strike, but I was pleased to find out that it's just as good as ever. Then again, I guess it doesn't take much of a writer to come up with "Put something slightly less objectionable than burning babies on TV and be watched by 30 million dumbfucks anyway."
An unauthorized biography of movie star and elfin creature Tom Cruise was released last week. It makes many outlandish claims which the Cruise camp is denying. In fact, if this book was any crazier, it would be called Dianetics.

I hope you've all been doing your kegels, because our latest collection of new shirts has arrived.
Some fags (anyone who knows stuff) told me this was an election year, so we've added the perfect shirt for all you apathetic voters (a.k.a. non-voters, a.k.a. young people, a.k.a. $$$$$$). If that's not your cup of teabag, we've also added a shirt just for the impressively cocked among you. If you are neither impressively cocked [points and laughs] nor an apathetic voter, we've got some other stuff too. Check 'em out, monkey clit.
All of our new shirts are here:

"No news is good news" according to the old adage. And if all this good news doesn't stop I'm going to put a boot into Anderson Cooper's adorable face. The media has done a good job of filling time ever since 9-11 became boring, but all this filler has itself become boring. Just look at what has made headlines ever since 9-11 started inducing yawns: Janet Jackson's tit, baseball players taking steroids, Kramer saying nigger, and Britney and Lindsay doing anything, just to name a few. It has all made for a nice distraction, but distractions are supposed to last a brief moment, not six fucking years. It's kind of like the last 30 minutes of a Michael Bay movie. You've shown me enough 'splosions. Just let me go home already.
And what happens when the distraction no longer distracts us? That's when we get the manufactured, politically charged, yet wholly ineffective, reporting. Those stories keep us interested for a bit, but they run out of steam so quickly. Global warming, border security, gay marriage and priests raping boys held my attention for a while, but we went through them too quickly. We discussed them for the obligatory month before either resuming our ignorance of them or allowing politicians to vote on a meaningless bill that accomplished nothing but to make it seem like they care one way or the other. Now we've completely exhausted our supply of political stories. What's left? Darfur? Please. That shit wouldn't be interesting if it was happening in Canada, much less Africa.
Don't think I'm taking a back-handed swipe at the media. Who can blame them for reporting on trivialities when reporting actual news doesn't affect any kind of change? We've been told everything we need to know about the war...and now what? We can participate in opinion polls, vote and protest, but in the end it has all amounted to us being right back where we started. Even after the midterms, when we got the election "right." The media informed us, we took action and elected everyone we were supposed to, nothing happened. So who's to blame? Surely not politicians. We chose the right ones this time. Activists call people like me apathetic. I prefer to think I'm accomplishing just as much as them, without ever leaving the comfort of my bong-covered couch.
But back to the media. Say what you will about the golden age of journalism when a couple of old white guys told you everything you need to know ("There's too much information in the hands of a few" "Edward R. Murrow is too damn sexy" etc.), but at least it wasn't overwhelming. The problem today is too much media. We have 24-hour news channels, newspapers, blogs, and magazines getting reactions to every mundane story. Then we get reactions to the reactions until footage of the water-skiing squirrel turns into a debate about abortion. The problem with everyone having a voice is that everyone is stupid. I'd rather listen to Walter Cronkite be stupid than listen to ten people be stupid on MSNBC simultaneously.
Now...I don't expect war coverage 24/7. That shit got old about 2,000 soldiers ago. What're we up to now anyway? 4,000? 5,000? Oh well. Whatever it takes to catch Bin Laden, right? So what's my point? Do I want less media? More passionate media? More reliable media? No, I don't want any of that. To be blunt, I want NO media. Journalism has always been a futile exercise, but at least for the last half decade it was fodder for decent satire. Now, even that has outlived its usefulness. No disrespect to The Onion, Stephen Colbert and all the rest, but at this point you've been beating the dead horse for so long that I could drink it through a straw.
Or, if you refuse to go away, you could at least resort to making up stories. Stop wasting your time on actual news and our time on tabloid news. How about some good old-fashioned slander and libel? Here are some headlines to get you started.

hi am tarek and i am muslim guy from egypt, i graduated from coloumbus state community college and i've lived in usa for 4 years and i realy respected your company and i bought a t-shirt from you company when i was in ohio BUT when i saw this "i named this t-shirt mohammed" i realy didnt like the idea at all cause its not realy a good one about our prophet "Mohamed"
i did like the states and i realy have the honor of being graduated from there....but now my thoughts are diff..cause of an idea of t-shirt like this one .
Sincerely
Tarek H.

Editor's Note: Wow. What a ringing endorsement for Columbus State Community College. Go Fightin' Downies! What was your major? Did you go for 'Advanced Window-Licking' or 'Not Biting Strangers 101'? Seriously, if what this guy received from Ol' CSCC qualifies as a valid degree, we might as well start honoring Burger King employees' degrees from Whopper U.
All kidding aside, it's quite pathetic that you'd allow a simple t-shirt to influence your opinion of an entire nation. It's that kind of ignorance that led to the quagmire in Iraq. Saddam was seen wearing a tee that read "Rumsfeld gives lousy head" and the rest is history. Economy-crippling, thousands-have-needlessly-died history.

Subject: Ripoff Shirts
Quit being hypocritical. You ripped off Jim Henson's Muppets and Bill Waterson's Calvin and Hobbes.
Editor's Note: There are times when I think people are fucking with us, but I'm just not sure. Then I remember how fucking stupid people are and I become pretty goddamn sure.
In this day and age of easily accessible information, it has become increasingly difficult to do something that isn't overly derivative if not a blatant ripoff. That's why we make a concerted effort to produce original ideas. The thing twats like this don't seem to understand is that everything has roots in something.
People have been communicating through speech for thousands of years. Are we supposed to start relaying information via slide whistles because verbal exchanges have been "soooo done"? You know what else has been done? Being a douchebag who complains about the most inconsequential shit on the planet. Stop ripping people off, asshole!
Yes, Jim Henson and Bill Watterson created the characters those shirts spoof, but you show me the episode of The Muppet Show where Beaker cuts open Kermit or the strip where Hobbes eats Calvin and I'll gladly suck the patch of hair that covers your dick.

Subject: dumb fucks
Hey dude, I just want to fucking tell you guys I submitted a t-shirt idea of "I'm bringing nigger back" with Dog the Bounty Hunter and I've got no response no nothing. First of all if i wanted to sell it on my own site fucking tens of hundreds of people would buy that. you're fucking stupid shit. you're dumb fucking assholes for not wanting to buy that.
So realize that you're a dumb fuck. Put me on your fucking newsletter. I have somebody trying to claim against you cause I have sent you plenty of emails. I just think you're fucking stupid assholes and the ideas you're using are dumb as shit. They're gay t-shirts nobody wants to buy. You want some t-shirts people will buy? Then use some of your user's submissions that are actually helpful to your company as opposed to this gay fucking shit you're putting up on your website.
Go fuck yourself, fuck your mother and fuck all of you.

Editor's Note: Holy lord. If the chip on this guy's shoulder was any bigger it would be stomping Asians in downtown Tokyo right now. This reminds me of the internet nerds I alluded to after that previous hate mail. The kind of tool who declares jihad against George Lucas because the new Star Wars movies sucked.
It's not George Lucas' fault you're a pathetic loser. He didn't deprive you of a wonderful moment in your life by half-assing the prequels. You deprived yourself by thinking that viewing some movies about a magical force and some gay robots would be the defining moment in your life. Fuck...if you twats stopped playing WoW and debating the wisdom of a little green puppet long enough to get your knobs licked you'd realize everything you care about is a joke. And not the funny kind.
But back to the moron at hand. If so much of your happiness hinges on our shirts you might want to reassess some things. I like to think we produce some funny shirts, but their usefulness doesn't extend beyond providing some laughs for stoners or hopefully getting you some trim at a club. If you don't find one of our shirts to be funny, shrug your shoulders and move on. You think I gave a shit when Seth MacFarlane followed up Family Guy with American Dad? No. I said "That kinda sucked" and got back to my ACTUAL LIFE.
Regardless, good luck with the sales of your shirt idea. Fortunately it's still a relevant news story that no one has forgotten about over the past couple months. I know you'll do it too. You're a go-getter. You're not the type to talk a big game and pointlessly get pissed at others because you're unhappy with where you're at in your life. You make things happen. I know you didn't just write this email to feel better about yourself right before resuming your sad and empty life. See you at the top!

Hi. I submitted an idea and hope you use it. I then looked at the rest of your shirts and was frightened by the tighter than a fifth grader. Mom of two young girls - that is pure evil. Please. That's volitile. I can't take my idea back but when I first read the other one I wish I hadn't sent it.
Do no harm. My idea was more funny racist in a can't we all get along kind of way. Thank you. Health Wealth and Happiness. If I do win ten t shirts....I like the white flour one but the cuter one not the hailing dough boy. Thanks!!!!

Editor's Note: What kind of alternate version of that shirt have you concocted in your head? I can assure that there is only one and the Doughboy is in fact doing the Nazi salute in it. There isn't some variation where he's petting a kitty or scrapbooking.
In any case, you don't need to worry about it. You haven't won and you never will. In shirt submission contests or in life. I don't even need to recall which idea was yours. This email tells me everything I need to know. Namely that you're an adult who was frightened by a joke on a t-shirt.
Anyway, tell me more about your two young girls. Do they play any sports? What are their hobbies? How many fingers can they take? But seriously, I love the video your girls made. And tell them I want my cup back. They don't need to wash it.
