Stacey, that KSK thing is a play on the Aristocrats joke that makes the rounds among comedians -- it's an old comic chestnut that actually spawned a documentary in which various famous comedians talked about the joke. In the normal version, after all the horrible activities, the talent agent says, "Dear god, what is your act called?" To which the family responds, "The Aristocrats!" I always thought it was kind of stupid.

KSK reproduced it with "The Patriots" as the punch line because they're tormenting Patriots fans until the Super Bowl. (and maybe after!)

Small Wonder? Don't remake that! That show scared the shit out of me. Those creepy blank eyes of hers, that monotone voice...all in a kid's body wearing some stupid old fashioned dress. She reminded me of the girl from The Bad Seed.

Several things:

1. That joke was awful! Nobody read it. I'm serious. It will wreak havoc on your sanity. Wow, I mean...disturbing. I'd imagine that's what it's like inside Pissboy's head sometimes.

2. Small Wonder remake would be awesome, especially if Vicki went ballistic and beat the shit out of that annoying little bastard Elliot.

3. What's so creepy about asexuals? It'd probably make life a lot easier. Also, this news about Clay Aiken is actually a relief. I mean, would you rather hear about him having sex? With anyone? No thank you.

Kolby: It's far easier than you think. In 2004, I simply informed Mr. PaddyDog that all sexual favours were being withheld for the next 4 years unless he could look me in the eye and swear he hadn't voted for Bush (he's a terrible liar). My guy became a card-carrying Democrat quicker than you can say "perverting the Democratic process one blow job at a time".

PaddyDog...that's insidious, manipulative, and thoroughly evil. I approve, carry on.

I thought the outrageousness of the lead-up was the whole point of the "Aristocrats" joke. It is basically a old shaggy dog framework, but the teller has to come up with the most ridiculous and offensive thing they can in the middle. The most offensive, the better. It was never meant to be really funny, just a verbal secret handshake between comedians.

If you really want disturbing, I just saw the commercial where Michael Strahan sings a Mary J. Blige song. Brrrr!

The KSK piece is indeed a transcript of one of Gilbert Gottfried's variations on the Aristocrats joke. From what I've heard and read, Gottfried is considered the current living master of the Aristocrats joke...

"Now pay attention here, because this is where things start to get a little out of hand."

...and I can see why.

That comment about Clay Aiken is so try-hard, vulture-ish and offensive. Imagine calling any of the main sexualities "creepy" - what a horrible, unsympathetic and narrow view. Has he attacked anyone, or done anything immoral, illegal or wrong? God, it really creeps me out that he doesn't have sex with people! Yuck! I bet his closets are filled with, you know, clothes and stuff! Shudder.

Oh, and may I add: I'm asexual, and trust me when I say we are NOT interested in having Clay Aiken in our camp.

Paddydog & wsapnin - I may have told this story here before, but Mr. Kolby & I went through tough times during the '04 election cycle. In the end we had to ban the viewing of a few shows on our house, and it's worked wonders. So, to this day, no Bill O'Reiily, no Bill Maher, no Fox News whatsoever. Wish us luck this year!

Hehe... this reminds me of the Futurama episode

Campaign worker: "We're The Voter Apathy Party"

Fry: "Sweet! Can I join?"

worker: "Not with that attitude."

Fry: "Ah, screw it then."

worker: "You're in!"

Or something like that. Actually it has nothing to do with any alleged asexual camp, except that I imagine it would be pretty hard, not to mention pointless, to fake your way in.

Where am I going with this? I don't know.

Kashi Rosemary and Sugar Snap Pea is better than the Coconut Lemongrass, anyday.

When is somebody going to acknowledge that Tony Bourdain sold his immortal soul for a bit part (not EVEN a cameo) in Uwe Boll's latest movie?

And why does no one visit me in my home?

as an asexual and loyal pajiba reader, thanks for the support.

Is Pajiba endorsing Obama?

Pajiba is not. -- DR

Ahahahahahhaha! Yes! June, you rock.

I loved The Aristocrats. I had a ball. It wasn't all just comics telling the joke; there was a lot of talk about the joke and what it means to comics and how it's like a gauge of their abilities--like someone said up above, sort of a comics' fraternal handshake.

The funniest version was George Carlin's. I near 'bout died. Unfortunately, it was near the very beginning of the movie, and nobody topped it. They should have put it nearer the end.

Fun bit of trivia - Kevin Peter Hall (aka Lincoln) from Misfits of Science played the Predator in Predator I and II, as well as Harry from Harry and the Hendersons.

Even better than the remakes, is the link for the 10 Scariest Vaginas that don't have teeth. I think Unicron should have been a bit lower, especially considering he would only eat cybernetically enhanced planets, that happenend to be shaped like balls. Someone that picky should automatically be demoted.

coconut lemongrass isn't bad. the best is black bean mango.
the aristocrats reminds me of another joke, that's basically the same idea but with less poop involved called Ritmus Pippen. but i may be the only one that's ever heard of it.
