Today’s word is: Irony

Family Guy introduced new character Joyce Kinney the episode “Excellence in Broadcasting” as the replacement to Diane Simmons who was killed in the episode “And Then There Were Fewer.” The character Joyce Kinney is voiced by Christine Lakin.

So, where’s the irony? Get to the point!

Christine Lakin’s website is an irony in Web design.

Notice the nice iPhone design on Lakin’s website? It looks gorgeous.

So, I don’t see anything wrong with it. What’s your point?

Here it is:

Here’s another one:

The site is Flash-based! You can’t view the site on the iPhone while it has iPhone in the design.

Note to Christine:
Your site needs a new design.
If you need to complain to me in person, call Smart Entertainment (John Jacobs’ office) and show this to Mr. Turner. He can find me.
No, Seth McFarlane has nothing to do with this post or any writings on most Family Guy episodes. He got his own writing staff.

Twentieth Century Fox, apparently you missed one there.

Family Guy: It’s A Trap! is now officially released despite of some early leaks somewhere on the inter-tubes. Prior to the release of the DVD, a person who definitely did not attend the meeting between Seth McFarlane and John Jacobs informed us about a little joke within the movie. Similar to Futurama: Bender’s Big Score with mentions of ILoveBender.com, Family Guy: It’s A Trap! mentions hanjobs.org as part of a joke. Twentieth Century Fox registered the domain name hanjobs.org in advance of the release of the DVD.

Upon watching the actual movie, I found three other domain names within the jokes. They are:

  • www.makemoneysuperfast.org
  • www.getcashfaster.org
  • www.getrichquick.org

Twentieth Century Fox for sure secured the domain names before the release of the DVD, didn’t they?

makemoneysuperfast.org

getcashfaster.org

Unfortunately Twentieth Century fox missed one domain name, getrichquicker.org record was created back in November 18th, 2009 by somebody else.

getrichquicker.org

Ah well, I’m going to watch the special features from Futurama Volume 5 DVD.

Family Guy, Twentieth Century Fox, It’s A Trap and hanjobs.org.

UPDATE:
Unlike the great Futurama team, those overpaid Family Guy team and Fox are too lazy to put anything up on those domains.

A little birdie who definitely has not been rummaging through John Jacobs’ desk sent a little tidbit about the upcoming release of Family Guy Star Wars Parody, titled: It’s A Trap!

Nothing is up yet, but the same birdie who definitely has not been going through Seth McFarlane’s MacBook Air said that Fox is planning to put something up on hanjobs.org once the DVD is released.

It’s A Trap! is scheduled for release December 21st, 2010.

South Park is sued for “What, What In The Butt” Parody Video.

It took more than two years for Brownmark Films to take South Park creators, Comedy Central and Viacom to court over a video parody that was done back in April 2008. Apparently the 30-something million views on YouTube and Billions of Theoretical Internet Dollars are not enough for Sam “Samwell” Norman and Brownmark Films.

From Hollywood Reporter:

……. “Courts have consistently recognized that parody enjoys broad protections under the First Amendment and the Copyright Act…….

….. old Q&A with the founders of Brownmark…….

What is Parody?

Parody: Fair Use or Copyright Infringement

Parodies in The United States Copyright Law – Wikipedia.

Editor’s note:
We believe that Parody is an art form and a protected from of free speech and expressions. Most of us had never heard of Samwell’s “What What (In the Butt)” video until it was parodied by South Park.
