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.

In This Week In Google 71: rel nofollow, Leo Laporte hastily “celebrates” that Angry Birds Seasons is available on Android only.
That is odd because Rovio had this announcement:
Angry Birds Seasons is now available for download for iOS and Android devices! Initially launched in the App Store as Angry Birds Halloween, the game has been expanded with a brand new festive level pack Season’s Greedings.
Even after Gina Trapani asked if Angry Birds Seasons were available for the iPhone, neither Leo Laporte nor Jeff Jarvis said anything after. No one cared to check the story Laporte was quoting.
Angry Birds Season is available on iTunes App Store.
According to TWiT Wiki, TWiG 71 was recorded on December 1st, 2010. One day before Angry Birds Seasons was officially announced at Rovio’s Blog. The Unofficial Apple Weblog reported that Rovio would be adding the Christmas levels to Angry Birds Halloween.
The excerpt is taken from TWiG 71 at mark 1 hour, 6 minutes and 14 seconds.
