If anybody can do an impersonation of Bill O'Reilly on his show and get away with it, it would be a muppet. Apparently some Conservative groups recently got upset over a parody of Fox News on a re-aired episode of Sesame Street where a grouch character referred to a news channel known as Pox News as trashy. Funny how is an old episode and people are now just getting upset over it.

If you've been playing the Tales of Monkey Island games like I've been, you know Episode 4 finishing on a cliffhanger and the outcome was not good for our hero, Guybrush. On December 8th, Telltale Games will release the 5th and final episode in the Tales of the Monkey Island series, Rise of the Pirate God. Fans will finally get to find out the fate of our favorite mighty pirate. I really hope

This movie is not even plausible but the trailer is so funny and cute, so who really cares that the movie is actually suggesting there's a distant planet full of Aliens that just happen to talk English and live exact like humans did in the 1950s. Planet 51 is out in theaters now.
