Of course the sole black character in the game is portrayed as an incompetent stereotype before an Aryan superman appears to rescue him from the Jews.

Lawsuit with Murray Energy got dismissed.



A thing of interest tho.

The ruling does give Murray and the other plaintiffs the opportunity to file an appeal within 30 days, but it also allows the defendants the ability to draft their own victory. Yes, Oliver, HBO and their attorneys will be writing the judge’s statement based on findings and facts that support the court’s rulings. This doesn’t happen often as the task is normally left up to the judge’s clerk.

John Oliver and his team are amazing. I really hope their book demolishes Pence's book in sales

Granted also that bawing from the publisher of Pence's is great.

My wife ordered the book before it even got to the point about the Trevor Project. As soon as she saw it, she hopped on it.

Adult Swim is bringing back one of the series that helped the network make a name for itself this fall: Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law. The mash-up of classic cartoons will return for a half-hour special later this year, titled Harvey Birdman, Attorney General.

Adult Swim dropped early plot and casting details as part of an in-character press release. The gist: supervillain President Phil Seben (again voiced by Stephen Colbert) has appointed Harvey Birdman as the country's new attorney general. But Harvey isn't going to use the position to serve President Seben. Instead, he's using the power of the judicial system to get him out of office. Hopefully.

OMG that's amazing news...why's that in this thread though? Shit, that should probably get its own thread.

[Serra]

It's only one thirty minute episode, didn't think it'd be enough for it's own thread -- and it's Colbert news.

Was too excited to notice it's just a one-shot. And yeah, that makes sense now.
