June 2008


The next time you’re in an American Apparel, pick up what is by far the most interesting issue of Vice Magazine (my humble you-know-what) in recent memory. “The History Issue” appropriately features a smiley-face review (that means they liked it) of my history-making comedy album, Earles and Jensen Present…Just Farr A Laugh Vol 1 & 2 (The Greatest Prank Phone Calls Ever!)….scroll down to the very bottom.

I appreciate the love so much that I’m willing to overlook the absurd, not-to-be-taken-seriously blunt force trauma of the opening sentence:

“A few years ago, two drug-addled miscreants and regular Vice contributors made a bunch of fucked-up prank phone calls and have finally gotten their shit together and compiled them all into one huge honking double CD and elaborate accompanying booklet for you to get really stoned and bewildered by”

That’s what happens when the truth runs through the Vicetron 3000!!!

Here, let’s try it:

Original sentence:

“Each morning, my aunt opens the daily newspaper straight to the comics section, where her fervent appetite for Rex Morgan M.D. can be satisfied.”

Sentence rewritten by the Vicetron 3000:

“Each morning, it takes my paint-huffing aunt three hours to read Rex Morgan M.D. This is because she’s usually focused on hitting an eight-foot bong, servicing a Comcast technician with via hand job, or eating canned dog food.”

Speaking of American Apparel, Earles and Jensen Present…Just Farr A Laugh Vol 1 & 2 (The Greatest Prank Phone Calls Ever!) is the first ever audio product (unless you include the sound of people laughing out loud at Dear Diary) to be carried by the clothing titan.

Don’t believe me? Take a look.

Album is currently in L.A. stores, with a nationwide takeover forthcoming!

Earles and Jensen Present…Just Farr A Laugh Vol. 1 & 2 (The Greatest Prank Phone Calls Ever!) ONE-STOP PAGE FOR EVERYTHING YOU’VE EVER WANTED TO KNOW…..COMING SOON!!!

Until then, go here.

And friend us on MySpace!! 

….on what has turned into a really boring debate. And yes, I do like Do the Right Thing, but only because it would take Richard Edsen years to top that role with his white Rastafarian nudist in Frankenfish. Clint is responsible for some major stinkers: The adaptation of Michael Connelly’s Bloodwork is basically the source material for Assy McGee, but unwittingly funnier than the cartoon mish-mash. Same goes for True Crime.

Clint doesn’t really hit Lee where or how the racial ambulance-chaser needs to be hit, but we haven’t heard the end of this one. I really liked 25th Hour, and Inside Man is an excellent caper minus the stock insert-into-any-movie racial concerns. Although he destroyed Price’s book, Clockers was an watch-able effort considering whiny-pants had to come in and clean up someone else’s mess.
