THE SPAGHETTI CAT

According to CNN, Ashton Kutcher has threatened to stop Twittering after co-founder Biz Stone revealed Twitter has partnered with Reveille and Brillstein Entertainment to collaborate on a TV show to Variety magazine. The show, which is unscripted, would be "putting ordinary people on the trail of celebrities in a revolutionary competitive format" according to Biz Stone.

Mr. Kutcher has 2 million Twitter followers, which one could speculate could generate enough bad PR to hurt Twitter pretty badly. Read more about his tweets on CNN.com. Some excerpts:

"Wow I hope this isn’t true. I really don’t like being sold out. May have to take a twitter hiatus."

Demi Moore, Mr. Kutcher’s wife, also threatened to shut down her Twitter account:

"I hope this isn’t true — if it is, our Twitter time may come to a quick and sad end!" Moore tweeted Monday.

What do you think? Would Twitter be better off with or without Kutcher? Sound off.

This is a really great compilation of shitty music videos that are, incredibly, real.

SWAIM (Slander Without Any Inherent Meaning) is one of my favorite sections at cracked.com. I particularly like the video about “rap-talker” Speak (“Stop the War”). With such prose as:

“sometimes people make a war”

“Tupac Shakur rest in peace…”

Doesn’t sound funny now but just watch, I won’t ruin it. Comment away.

If you are a fan of Family Guy or American Dad, you’re familiar with the awesomeness that is Seth McFarlane. But did you know he has his own website at sethcomedy.com? As with all of McFarlane’s comedy antics, his characters are funny, stupid, profane, sometimes enlightening, and did we mention funny?
