Open Post: Hosted By Oscar Mayer Declaring That Hot Dogs Are Sandwiches
I’ve seen a lot of rotten and just plain stupid marketing campaigns before (I’m looking at you IHOB), but Oscar Mayer has really taken the cake with their latest stunt. Oscar Mayer has launched a campaign in which they have declared that hot dogs are sandwiches, and are saying “fight me” in an effort to engage an exhausted public in a debate about it. No one curr, Oscar Mayer. We are tired.
Jordan Peele Will Host And Narrate The Upcoming Revival Of “The Twilight Zone”
Jordan Peele has been on a serious roll since his directorial debut Get Out took off like Jesse Owens at the starting block. Not too long ago he announced his next feature film will be another sociopolitical horror film called Us starring Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke and, most horrifying of all, active Scientologist Elisabeth Moss. It was also announced that his production company Monkeypaw would be producing a reboot of the mind-fucking classic The Twilight Zone. Now Jordan’s just announced that he’s also going to be stepping into Rod Serling’s loafers and hosting it as well!
R. Kelly Dropped A 19-Minute Turd Called “I Admit”
When your President gets cornered, he lashes out by tweeting threats of nuclear annihilation IN ALL CAPS because any asshole with a valid birth date is allowed to have Twitter. When R. Kelly gets cornered, he ass dribbles out 19 minutes of martyred mumbling and releases it on Sound Cloud, the same way I release my janky podcast, because any asshole with a valid email address can publish there. While your President’s outbursts might get us all killed, R. Kelly’s charming ditty, “I Admit“, is about as dangerous as being stabbed with a peeled banana, and equally ridiculous.
Don’t Worry, Amber Tamblyn Has Schooled David Cross About Sexism And Racism
Amber Tamblyn is joining Sean Penn and James Franco in the elite club of actor/novelists. She’s got a book out called Any Man, and on a recent episode of the NPR podcast It’s Been A Minute with Sam Sanders, she described it as being about “several male survivors who are all pretty violently attacked by a female serial rapist”. Sounds like a fun summer read! But her weird book isn’t the only thing she talked about. Amber also discussed the “difficult conversations” she’s had to have with her man-child husband David Cross about his forays into racism and sexism. Don’t worry you guys, she fixed him!
Amy Poehler Got Real When Asked A Bunch Of Inane Questions
Perpetually perky blonde Amy Poehler landed herself on The Hollywood Reporter’s “The 40(ish) Most Powerful People in Comedy” list under the category “The Movie Stars”. For her segment, they asked Amy a list of dumb fluff questions; the kind you might find in a dozen different magazines you leaf through while waiting in line at the checkout stand. Amy answered all the questions, but she did it on her terms. It turns out Amy’s turned her smile all the way upside down and is not here for the bullshit, not in #thesetryingtimes.
Dennis Rodman Became Verklempt While Talking About His Role In The Trump-Kim Summit
Dennis Rodman is in Singapore right now in his capacity as the self-created Goodwill Ambassador of the Trump-Kim The Dear Leader Summit 2018. As such, CNN’s Chris Cuomo interviewed Dennis, live on air, to get his take on the “historic event” and discuss his role in bringing the two leaders together. Nobody invited Dennis. But he just loves North Korea so much that he got himself a sponsor and is on a mission to Make America Great Again by hooking up his two BFFs, Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un. And sadly no, his sponsor isn’t he kind you should get when you’ve had more DUIs than you’ve had career rebounds on the basketball court. His sponsor is Potcoin, a cryptocurrency for weed professionals.
