I think many of us saw this coming, but now it’s official:
[
A coalition of artists, filmmakers, novelists, musicians, fashion designers, and other producers of American culture issued a joint statement this week warning the nation’s citizens that the remainder of 2011 was going to be “pretty rough stuff.”

Saying it was “only fair” to let the American people know what they were getting into, thousands of artists and mass-culture producers across the country confirmed that after the release of an Eddie Vedder solo album in May, followed by the Jim Carrey film Mr. Popper’s Penguins in June, and then a new Tim Allen sitcom in the fall, citizens will soon start asking themselves why they even bother.
Even distinguished artists, ranging from novelist Philip Roth to painter and photographer Chuck Close, verified in the statement that their upcoming 2011 works would be far from their best, and would only add to the feeling of cultural malaise expected to reach its low point sometime in late autumn.

I know I heard that Julie Taymor is ready to leave Spiderman: Turn Off The Dark and start working with Tay Zonday and Tyler Perry on a new musical called Mamma Madea Mia! , where Madea’s daughter Tina (played by Antoine Dodson ) is engaged to Tony Danza, who is set to choreograph the production, too.
I hope you know that’s not a real news article .
I think **Bo **knows funny.

NYC Tourist: You know, this is NOT how Blanche described Tony & Tina’s Wedding when she got back home to Peoria last year…

So does that mean that Tyler Perry is going to murder Antoine Dodson to get back at her husband?
Yes, but did they buy the $70 stuffed ‘throwing bricks’ at the concession stand to take home as a souvenirs?
No, but it will feature a full gospel version of the Bed Intruder Song!
I hope you figure out that my quote boxes are links to that story.

If I wasn’t a snowboarder, I’da gone ahead and taken that job as a Merry Prankster oh so many years ago.
So no one else has “heard” of any upcoming pop culture stuff that’s gonna suck?
I think they’re still making more *Twilight *movies.
Well, since truth is stranger than fiction, isn’t that CGI **Smurfs **movie coming out?
