BREAKING NEWS! Ed Begley Dead!
Albino-esque star of Transylvania 6-5000, Ed Begley Jr. has lost his battle with leukemia this morning.
“He was this gentle giant,” said Bob Schieffer, CBS’s chief Washington correspondent and a close friend. “He just did so much for so many African-American kids. He was a great role model.”
Authorities speculate that he may have survived longer had he been treated in an actual hospital, rather than the St. Eligius snowglobe belonging to an autistic child.

You do know Ed Begley is still alive, right? And that our respect for Ed Bradley led us to make fun of someone totally not Ed Bradley?
Just checking.

[...] I guess the lesson we’ve learned today is it’s cool to make light of rape, incest, 9/11, dead babies, war and racism, but don’t you dare make a joke about Ed Bradley that doesn’t remotely make fun of him. [J-Nay Comments] [...]

no, no – I love the Junkiness – just not quite as much as I love Ed Begley, Jr. If you ever tell me he’s dead and he’s not I’ll track you down and beat you with an electric car.
ps. Neil Young is dead.

As much as I loved Ed Bradley and respected him he was, after all, just a reporter/journalist. He wasn’t a god-damn saint. However, if I hear one more snipe at Britney Spears I swear to god that I’ll reach through this f*cking monitor and throttle you sons-a-bitches. Lay off, hasn’t our best-ever pop-princess suffered enough?

[...] Since dying a couple of weeks ago, Ed Begley Jr.’s career has been rejuvenated. He and his wife are set to star in their own reality TV show, ironically titled “Living With Ed.” “The new show will be set in the couple’s entirely solar-powered, eco-friendly home. You’ll be able to watch as Ed times his wife’s shower with a stopwatch while gently chiding her over how many gallons of water she has wasted. You’ll also be able to see how Begley rides a stationary bike in order to power his toaster.” [...]
