Fun With Play-Dough

Does anybody know who Gwen Jackson is? No, me neither. Until I saw a little story about this Criminal Defense Attorney who is concerned about how Obama is portrayed on SNL. Because, you know, Fred Armisen is not half Kenyan and half Midwest-white; no, he’s Venezuelan and Japanese. Oh, the horror! How dare Lorne Michaels not hire a comedian who is of the exact same ethnicity as Obama! Feh! From now on, Armisen should only be allowed to play Venezupanese characters. Pretending to be black just confuses people.

I guess she never saw Darryl Hammond impersonate Jesse Jackson; but then, he’s only done it, like, 5,000 times.

A sad story: Hedviga Golik of Zagreb, Croatia, was found dead in her flat after 35 years. Her neighbors had never really bothered with her, and apparently broke in because they wanted to claim her apartment for themselves. When they found a mummy instead of a live Hedviga, they called the cops. So, tell me this: why didn’t they lie? Why admit they were breaking in to get the apartment? I would have lied and told the police I was concerned that my neighbor was missing; that way, you’d look like a hero instead of an asshole.

I bet they killed her and waited for someone to find her, and when that didn’t happen, they got tired of it. Still; 35 years is a bit long.
