For anyone wondering what the “Mooninite Brouhaha” was that I mentioned in the previous post, I will explain.
Cartoon Network has some hilarious shows. One called “Aqua teen Hunger Force” has been out for a few years but they decided to drum up some attention for it using a viral marketing campain. They made signs about 1′ x 1′ that had lights in the shape of a couple characters from the show and attached magnets on them so they could set them in random places in 10 cities.
They were just signs with lights.
People thought they were great. The main fanbase for these shows totally appreciates clever, subtle gestures like this.
Boston, on the other hand, thought they were here to destroy the world.
They called in the police, homeland security, and basically everyone but the troops stationed in Iraq in order to neutralize these “im’nent terr’ist threats” as our President would say.
What caused them to think they were dangerous? According to authorities they had “components consistent with improvised explosive devices.”
Those components were:
Batteries
Wires
Lights
A Circuit Board
OMGHOLYSHIT I have components consistent with improvised explosive devices in my computer! Hold on- SHIT- there’s some in my TV too! Call DHS- I looked under the hood of my car and I’ll be damned if the terrorists didn’t place some suspicious compenents there too!
Witness the placing of these horrifying signs below. If you dare.

So people have been asking me about this feud between Tom and me. “What did he say?”
Well, I’d love to point you in the direciton of the video He made on friday, titled, “Ed You Bastard,” but he took that down. That was a pretty smart move on his part; he made so many mistakes on it he prooved my initial point ten-fold.
So before he removes the post where he made fun of me, I placed the post here, entitled, “You Know What, I Think We Need A Cause.” Here he pairs the equally importent fight to save Grizzly bears with the threat imposed by my post.
Now, I’m not one to throw a hissyfit over a few comments about me on the internet. That’s for A-list bloggers and C-List celebrities. It’s the emailing me near death threats- that was a campaign fomulated by one of his fans- on his website!
And what was Tom’s response to this email campaign? I Have absolutely no idea why, but he actualy makes some sick coorelation between bedding me and helping bears. You be the judge.
That is a sick man, ladies and gentlemen. A very sick man.

You see, back when this blog was just a wee pup, I went to go see a showing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at a park here in Reno. That’s when I learned that we Renoites (allegedly) had an Oomaloompa living amongst us. Not your average little person- not just any midget- a real live OompaFRIGGINloompa. You can imagine the immense pride I immediately felt for my town. Top that, L.A.
Well, apparently it had all been a clever ruse. The Oomposter in question, Mr. Ezze (Yo, Ezze, why you wear your pants like that) Dame, had been telling people he had been an Oompaloompa for 34 years. The one driving the boat when Gene Wilder goes all apeshit over the swirling colors and stuff, to be precise.
After recently getting outed by a real Oompa he came clean yesterday.
His reason? Now, come on- does he really need one? If I were a midget I’d sure as crap be telling people the exact friggin same thing. Imagine all the tail he got with that story. OK stop imagining it- there are websites for that sort of thing.
He claims it all started as an attempt to pad his resume when he was getting into acting. Apparently it landed him a sweet gig in a chevy chase movie too. Once again, you simply cannot find fault in what he did. He’s a midget, for crying out loud. Job prospects are pretty limited- even if they can ride on rainbows and talk to unicorns.
I don’t fault Ezze. In fact, he’s an incredibly nice guy and extremely involved in the local arts scene. I say we should all play it off and let bygones be bygones. My guess is the local community will support him- I know I will. I’d have to be crazy to piss him off and give up my chance at three wishes or his pot of gold or something.
