A not funny blog post...
Today, as you all well know, a crazy person shot up a school, killing kids and teachers and a whole bunch of other people that were probably really nice. This, of course, is going to cause a heated debate over what the cause was and how we can prevent this sort of thing from happening in the future. And even though many will complain that this is over simplification, I think I know exactly who is responsible.
Conservatives.
I'm not going to make this a cogent argument. I'm not going to be fair. I'm just going to tell you what I know from talking to people and from reading history books and the news.
Conservatives argue that we don't need more gun control, even though crazy people have been legally buying guns and killing people with them.
Conservatives argue that global warming isn't real, even though rising ocean levels and hurricanes caused by global warming destroyed the east coast.
Conservatives argue that tax cuts for the rich will destroy the economy, even though countless independent studies say that it won't.
Conservatives argue that we can't afford safety net programs, even though countless independent studies prove they save the country money, cut down on crime, and increase overall quality of living for everyone.
Conservatives argue that government regulation on business is unnecessary, even though unchecked capitalism has caused atrocities and crashed markets.
In the past, conservatives have fought against interracial marriage, racial integration, environmental protection, and the right to vote for women and African Americans.
Conservatives are currently and always have been on the wrong side of every issue. They argue against things that help and fight for the things that hurt.
People! They are bad! They are the bad guys. Conservatives are Bond villains. They are Skeletor. They are Lex Luthor!
Not sure how much more evidence you need.

Sex and the City for Dudes is featured on some weird Dutch website.
I say weird, cuz what the fuck do I know?
Here is the link: http://www.hln.be/hln/nl/929/TV-Gids/article/detail/1494031/2012/08/31/Wat-als-Sex-and-the-City-voor-mannen-was-gemaakt.dhtml
And here is the hilarious translation (courtesy of google translate) of what the article says:

And here is the hilarious translation (courtesy of google translate) of what the article says:
With millions they were, the women who daily watched in amazement at how Carrie and her friends from the TV show "Sex and the City 'successes and setbacks booked in their quest for love, happiness and shoes. But what if the popular program for once and for men would be made?
Comedian Jarret Berenstein took a try and tinker together a video clip in which he crawled into the skin of Carrie Bradshaw (played by Sarah Jessica Parker). Not made 'bare tanden'-smile, but a bored expression graced his face as he wanders aimlessly in the Big Apple. The hour-long discussions about 'true love' are not of the party, because the episode, entitled 'date night' was, sitting there after nine seconds already. With a beer in hand fires one comrade to another off "yesterday whether he had sex with that girl." After a simple "yep" is already on the episode. A great contrast to the brain thus breaking analyzes that Carrie and her friends Charlotte (Kristen Davis), Samantha (Kim Cattrall) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) are always ventured

Super fucking cool....
It's been extremely fun watching the hubub build over Sex and the City for Dudes. It started like everything else I've done, building to a few hundred views on the day I posted it, but then it didn't stop. I woke up on the second day and read that it had over a thousand views.
"That can't be right." I thought, and went to work. By the time I got off work, I had over 3,000 views and an email from the Daily Dot asking for an interview.
As of me writing this now we've had over 50,000 views (easily the most popular thing I've done to date) and have been blogged about and reposted on a dozen websites. So fucking cool. People I don't know are watching my work. And liking it.
If you haven't seen the video yet, google it. If you have, thank you for being part of the reason I've had an awesome week.

FUCKIN NEWS, PUNK!
Gang!
Super exciting stuff in the works.
1) I'll be taking Boosh Kla-Klau to the LA Comedy Festival next weekend! This might sound weird, but I'm really looking forward to seeing if I can do the show with so much less time to get the space ready and work with the tech. It'll be exciting like when you're trying to finish killing a chicken before your mom gets home (just me?). I'm flying in Thursday, April 19th and the show goes up Saturday (and I'll also be doing stand up on Friday).
2) DR COMIX has LAUNCHED! I started a tumblr where I doctor comics. I'm super proud these guys and I can't wait for people to check out the next three weeks that I've already scheduled. Five times a week we're gonna be dropping them!
3) COMEDY SHORTS! 5 filmed and currently being edited. 4 written and waiting to be filmed. My youtube channel is gonna blow the fuck up with the number of times my parents watch them shits.
4) My improv team, Junior Varsity, is going to the Chicago Improv Festival at the end of April. We've traveled a lot as a team, but there's something about the CIF that feels more prestigious, what with it being the birth-place of contemporary improv and all.
5) I got a lot of re-tweets today.
Keep checking the website, sign up for updates, follow me on twitter, follow my tumblr, and keep party rockin till your dick falls off.
