Duckman33 gets 250 Ruby but can't find it

Duckman33 and Cornfed are on the trail of it though!

So the first guy to earn a Ruby is a foul-mouthed perverse duck who sounds like George Costanza? Sounds good to me! Ted has been with the sift for almost a year now and sifts a lot of quality stuff. Needless to say some of them are of himself, but because he's so well liked no one seems to mind these selflinks.

Keep on finding quality sifts, Duckman33, and congratulations! And be sure to visit his pqueue as it needs some attention.

Bad News Everyone - FOX wants to recast Futurama voices!

They are fuckers.

Via SciFi Wire:

No one was more thrilled than us at the news that Comedy Central was resurrecting Futurama with an order of 26 new episodes, to begin airing in 2010.

But now comes news on Forces of Geek that 20th Century Fox Television, which produces the series, may be considering recasting the voice roles. Say it ain't so!

Here's what the site reported:

According to no less than cast members John DiMaggio [Bender], Phil LaMarr [Hermes] and Maurice LaMarche on their Facebook pages, a casting notice has gone out to replace actors DiMaggio, LaMarche, Billy West [Fry] and Katy Sagal [Leela].

Recast Fry and Leela?? And Bender??

It seems clear that Fox is trying to cut costs for the show by hiring lower-paid voice talent—either that or trying to get a leg up on salary negotiations by sending out recasting notices to scare the current talent into rolling over on pay.

But fans may recall that Fox TV tried to muscle the original Simpsons voice cast in a similar fashion. That didn't go so well, so here's hoping the original Futurama cast remains intact."

This is yet another in a long series of unbelievably retarded decisions by FOX. Must be FOX News' stupidity rubbing off on the whole network. Did I mention they are fuckers?

Seth MacFarlane and Adam Carolla Chat it Up

Just posted this here, but thought I'd expose it a bit better for anyone who's a fan of Family Guy or Seth MacFarlane. It's a pretty enjoyable discussion. Conversation was over a couple snifters of whiskey and includes talk about how Seth was fortunate enough to be late for one of the terrorist planes on 9/11 and what happened at the airport after the attacks, how he got his start at Hanna Barbera, and lots of other great stuff. Listen to the end where Stewie and Peter Griffin make an interesting appearance.

Listen to the podcast of Adam Carolla chatting for an hour and a half with Seth MacFarlane last night, Mar 16, 2009.
