SNL Digital Short: Tizzle Wizzle

I just about fell off the bed laughing at this last night!

Currently:

Just returned from Whole Foods and spent my gift card. I bought soup, tea, a muffin, and milk. Perfect for this cool day.

Now I was planning to wrap some Christmas gifts and chill out with Sufjan, but kalenroo informed me that Police Women of Broward County is on until 8!!

So I am watching that…and they just passed my neighborhood…holy crap, I’ve been to that place!

Sufjan and Christmas gifts will have to wait…

What to watch tonight?

SNL Christmas Special or Jags vs Colts game?

Or both?

ajamison: marktheshark: what comcast buying nbc/universal means to you. scary. Total FUD here, wow. Shameless. The reckless spending and government health care threatens the “health of our democracy” much more than Comcast’s ownership of NBC Uni. A couple things: 1. You don’t “need” cable. If Comcast raises its prices more than you are willing to pay - it’s quite simple: cancel the service. This is called capitalism folks. 2. The only overlap between the companies are a few cable channels - the biggest of which is E! and G4. Essentially these channels are just going to be absorbed into NBC Universal.

An open letter to Stephen Colbert from Miracle Whip, as seen in this morning’s amNewYork: Dear Mr. Colbert,Recently on your show, you tapped into a sore spot in our nation’s psyche: the eternal struggle between mayonnaise and Miracle Whip. And surprisingly, for a man of your impeccable intellect, you’ve chosen the wrong side. A side doomed to a painful, drawn-out, utter and complete defeat. Like the Plantagenets in the Hundred Years’ War. Or whichever on was the cat in “Tom and Jerry.”Mr. Colbert, we found your attacks a little harsh, occasionally funny, and at times, wholly inaccurate (for the record, our target is 18-35, not 34). But unlike most advertisers who are so mayo, who would back down at the slightest whiff of controversy, and pull their advertising from not just your show but from your entire network and all its sister entities – we intend to do the opposite.On Thursday, November 12, we will dominate the airspace on your show. With every commercial break, your viewers will be exposed to hardcore Miracle Whip attitude and revelry. You will see our legion of (as you call them) “mayonay-sayers” snarfing sandwiches topped with our one-of-a-kind flavor in a very cool and totally hip way. They will be in your face and massively dope. It goes without saying, they WILL NOT TONE IT DOWN. And you will begin to see the soft, bland white walls of the mayo empire begin to collapse under the weight of its own whipped-egg pretentiousness.Think about it, Mr. Colbert. In a sense, we will own you.We’re on a mission. We’re taking no prisoners.We’re raising Hell, man.THE BOLD MARKETING TEAM AT MIRACLE WHIP This is hilarious and Colbert is about to begin.
