Actually, drowning kittens isn't funny at all. Dressing them like pirates is funny, but not drowning them. That's just cruel. What the heck am I talking about? Well, the other night while working on my computer I had an episode of Tom and Jerry that I had Tivoed playing in the background, so I was only sorta paying attention to it. The short was called "Heavenly Puss," some of you may remember it as the one where Tom goes to heaven but can't get in until he gets Jerry to sign a certificate saying he forgives Tom for all the torture Tom put him through. There's a scene where different cats are going past the "ticket taker" to get into heaven, each one having been killed in a funny way (one was flattened by a steamroller, for example). Then, at one point, a wet bag comes bouncing along, and three kittens crawl out. The ticket taker (also a cat, cause this is cat heaven) shakes his head and says sadly, "What some people won't do."

I did a double take, hit rewind, and watched it again. Yes, they actually made a joke about drowning kittens in a sack. That probably goes to show something, but I'm not sure what. Have any of you ever watched something from your childhood and realized it was actually a lot more morbid than you remembered?

(S01E01) The new Adult Swim series from SpongeBob SquarePants writer and storyboard artist Aaron Springer, Korgoth of Barbaria, which also features the talents of Bill Wray (Ren and Stimpy, Mad Magazine) and Genndy Tartakovsky (Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack) does not officially debut until September, but last night a sneak peek was shown. Actually, I don't think this is the first time the pilot has been shown, but it was the first time I saw it, and I have to say I thought it was pretty good, especially if you like creative violence.

There's a whole sub-genre of sitcoms which I suppose could be called the "fish out of water" sub-genre. These were sitcoms whose whole comedic premise was based on taking the main characters out of their element and putting them into an entirely new one with the hope that comedy would ensue. The 1980s were rife with these types of shows. Some found an audience, such as ALF, and others, like The Charmings, well, didn't.

I went through a brief professional wrestling phase in junior high. This was when Hulk Hogan was in his prime and you could also see the likes of Rowdy Roddy Piper, the Iron Sheik, and Hillbilly Jim, among others. Eventually I got over watching men in tiny pants strutting around the ring and gesticulating, but professional wrestling kept going on without me, turning into a huge phenomenon and becoming, as one friend of mine put it, "a male soap opera."

He's right. The storylines have become more complex, and sometimes downright silly. This time, however, Vince McMahon may have topped himself. On April 30, during the WWE pay-per-view special "Backlash," Mr. McMahon will wrestle God. Wrestling fans already know that this is the culmination of an ongoing storyline which involved the sinister McMahon getting beat by Shawn Michaels, a born again Christian. I don't have pay-per-view, so I won't be able to watch, but here's what God had to say:
