<div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Let me start this post off by adding this disclaimer. I have no
sympathy nor do I in any way support NBC Universal. In fact I don't really hold
them very highly at all following their treatment of one Conan O'Brien.
However, the last few weeks I've seen the internet up in arms because NBC and
Sony put a stop to some fans (one of them an actor in NBC's employment) who
tried to take NBC property and create a web series based on it.<br />
The property in question is the show within a show "Inspector
Spacetime" which appeared as a "Dr. Who" parody on the show
"Community." The actor who played the character on the show
decided he would pitch to NBC to spin off a web series. When he didn't get the
answer he wanted, he turned to the internet, and that's what really got things
going.<br />
You see, "Inspector Spacetime" is the intellectual property of NBC
and Sony. End of discussion. They can do with it as they will. If they want to
shelve it, and never let it see the light of day again, it's their call. They
and their staff of brilliant writers created it, so why should they let someone
else take their creation and use as they will. This is stealing.<br />
It seems now we live in a world were, thanks to YouTube, Vimeo and so on, any
jack hole with a camera thinks he's a filmmaker. A task that once upon a time
was reserved for the talented... And maybe a few not so talented, but
opportunistic and lucky individuals. On top of this, you have a portion of this
group, who don't really have any ideas of their own, and lack the talent and skill
to develop something. So they create what is essentially fan fiction based on
their favorite shows and movies. Then, they try to justify this by calling it a
parody. The thing is fan fiction is not a parody. A parody is defined as
"comic imitation of a literary or musical work." There is usually
nothing comical about fan fiction, in fact, to make fun of the source would
most likely go against the very fabric of what they are trying to do in the
first place. Nope bottom line, it's plagiarism and copyright infringement.<br />
Now don't get me wrong, not all web content falls under this seedy cloud. In
fact there is a whole community of content creators doing it the right way, and
also creating quality content. I myself am the co-creator and head writer for
the web series "Short Term." So for me, what is happening with NBC
would be like Short Term actors Raj Kalra or Emily Button trying to take their
character and create their own spin off series (not that they would). Those
characters are not those actors' creative property, and you bet your sweet ass
I would do all I could to protect what I created and hold dear, just like I
would expect anyone reading this article to do for their own content.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
So before you judge NBC to harshly take a look at it from their perspective.
Then maybe you'll see that what was really going on was actually pretty shady. Just
remember, if this were easy anyone could do it... And obviously
"anyone" can't.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">P.S. yes I
understand that "Inspector Spacetime" is a parody of "Dr.
Who," but it does not break any laws as it does in fact follow the rules
of what defines something as a parody. Furthermore, one would assume that NBC
had the permission of the BBC in the first place.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

It was my first time on stage and I was very thankful for those who got a chance to come out and support me and see the show, which included my Conan bit, and two sitcom script readings. Other than the fact no one brought drinks, it thought it was a great night. Anyway, I've decided to share my monologue jokes here on my blog, and I would love feedback on them. If I get a big enough response, I will try to post more each week. We'll see. For now enjoy these jokes from the week of November 14th thru the 20th. (the week before Thanksgiving)<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Did you guys see that the new Twilight movie, "Breaking Dawn," made $140 million in it's opening weekend. $140 million. This got me to thinking maybe, in our current economy, the government should think about a imposing a vampire and glitter tax.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Speaking of the economy, this Friday is Black Friday, and my mom is already making her plans for 12 hours of shopping, spending hundreds of dollars on stuff that no one in my family really wants. Or as my dad likes to call it, "a small price to pay for a little peace and quiet around here."</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Anybody here on Facebook? That may be the dumbest question I ever ask. Anyway, Facebook this week found itself the target of internet spammers who were posting pornography on it's users wall feeds. A spoke person for Facebook says they're working to fix the issue and that most of the porn is gone, but in the mean time they were encouraging users to try out their new "Really Like" button.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">The US Immigration Services Office says that many illegal immigrants are returning to Mexico due to the poor US job market. Shortly after, the White House released a statement saying, "Hey, we may not have fixed the economy, but it looks like we found a solution the immigration problem."</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">The economy in Greece has gotten so bad they've basically had to start over with a brand new government. A spokes person for the outgoing administration stated that they just didn't understand how an economy based solely on the export of humus and yogurt could fall apart so fast.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">You guys see that Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore are getting divorced? Sources close to the couple said that the split is due to the non-stop fighting. Yeah, the source goes on to say, she was tired of Ashton staying out late hanging with his friends, and he was tired of watching re-runs of "Murder She Wrote." You see, because she's older... whatever, you'll get it on the way home.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Finally, This past Friday marked the end of an era as Regis Philbin said goodbye to his long running TV show. When asked how she felt about her former co-hosts retirement, Kathy Lee Gifford responded, " I haven't felt anything for the last fifteen years."</span><br />
<br />
Thanks so much, and please leave any feedback you have below, good or bad.<br />

Case in point, pepper spraying people at Walmart for some bullshit "gift" that will end up in the trash or simply forgotten about in 6 months anyway. I wonder what Jesus would say about the commercialization of his birthday. I wonder how he would feel about taking something so holy and sacred and turning it into a day of greed and gluttony. I don't think this is what he would have had in mind at all.<br />

Every one of my gifts was electronic, but I didn't care. It was Christmas at its purest form, and it was really nice. Now days it's all about the latest igadget or whatever else "the man" tells us we need. I can't help but laugh every time I see one of those ridiculous Lexus commercials on TV. Really, who the fuck can afford to give a Lexus? I guess if you can, you're not reading this article. The problem is, as a society, we see that and now we think that's what we must do.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Maybe for once, we can all just be happy with what we have. Be happy that there are people that care about us. Maybe instead of fighting over an Xbox on Black Friday, we should buy a gift or two for Toys for Tots. Maybe take a weekend and volunteer at a homeless shelter. Or, at the very least, pray for each other, and just enjoy what the holidays bring. I haven't been home for Christmas in two years, yet I don't complain, it is what it is...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Enough ranting, it's Christmas after all... In closing (and not that my words will make much of a difference) this year, stop for a moment and remember that Christmas is a time to celebrate peace and love. It's a time when we, as human being, can live up to our potential, even if it's only for a short time. Remember that it's about celebrating the birth of a man who gave up everything for all of us, and never expected anything in return. A man who didn't were a red coat and have a white beard, or pants. A man who would never shop on Black Friday and doesn't care how old your phone is... In short... a man who loves all of us, despite our many faults and forgives us for bastardizing his name every chance we get. </div>

kidnapped the Cap'n and we had to call in to the hot line for the clues in
order to figure out which door he was behind... only then could he escape.
Those were trying times for the Cap'n.</span></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">It seems like every day I wake up, look at Facebook or Twitter
only to see that I must celebrate some really trivial thing today. Things like,
National Talk Like A Pirate Day (Sept 19th), or National Chicken Wing Day (July
29th). The list goes on and on. So I ask, since it appears anyone can declare
any day a holiday or day of celebration for any cause or item of their
choosing. Why can't I declare a day of celebration to remember those
who came before us; fighting for truth, justice, and crunchy cereal?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">That's right, I hereby declare today, October 12th, National Cap'n
Crunch Vs Soggies Day. After all, it was Captain Horatio Magellan
Crunch how has devoted his entire life to fighting the evil Soggies, a
mysterious race of evil milk people who set out to "sog up" his
cereal in the 1980's. If not for our
valiant, albeit Spanish Captain, our morning cereal might
actually soften in milk, as opposed to cutting up the roof of our mouths.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">So, here's to you Cap'n… May you go down in history with other
greats of your rank, like: Captains Kirk, Picard, Kangaroo, and Planet. We
honor you, with this day of days.<o:p></o:p></span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16154050540165166789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2519969308808984638.post-58770648283274886992011-10-03T09:20:00.000-07:002011-10-03T09:21:08.530-07:00Diva Actress - Fad Diets<div style="text-align: center;">

Dear Hugh Jackman,<br />
I see we still are at this impasse... I want you to follow me on Twitter, and you still haven't followed me on Twitter. I'm not sure what more I have to do. It's not like I'm gonna go single white female on you... right away. I mean, I understand you are a very important man, singing and dancing and clawing your way through life, but Hugh, what's a man without friends. Friends who will let you star in their web series musical and not even make you audition. Trust me, I wouldn't do that for anyone, just ask Patrick Duffy. No Hugh, when I look at you I see a guy who's got his shit together, a guy I could have a drink with, a guy my girlfriend would push me off a cliff for, but most importantly I see a guy who needs to follow me on Twitter. Just think about how much fun we could have.... and no, you can't meet my girlfriend. Till next time, your pal,<br />
<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">So, from the title I suppose you've guessed that I saw "Money
Ball" last week. Let me start this post by saying that I don't normally
write reviews, and I tend to be very opinionated about films, so my commentary
can be a little strong at times. For this post, however, I will try to keep it
as light as possible, in my attempt to tell you about a very solid film.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">For those who don't know, Money Ball is a movie based on a book
(Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game), which chronicles Oakland A's GM
Billy Beane as he tries to rebuild a professional baseball team with a budget
that is probably actually less than what it cost to produce and promote the
movie. It's all based on real events, real players... you get the picture. Anyway,
at the surface, it's a movie about the economics of pro baseball, and even I
was afraid going in that it would be a snoozer. Not so much, it seems,
somebody, somewhere remembered at the end of the day, this is a sports movie,
and therefore should also be fun and enjoyable. Now for those who read the
book, the movie isn't as much about statistics and scouting, though these are
the very root of the entire film. Instead the movie focuses primarily on Beane
and the A's following their 2001 dismantling due to the fact that they only had
an operating budget of $41 million (compared to the Yankee's $125 million). Much
like the characters in the film, Money Ball is not a traditional sports film,
it's not as much about the baseball on the field (though there is enough of
that to keep the purists happy) but more about what goes on behind the scenes,
in scouting meetings, locker rooms and front offices.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Of course at its root, Money Ball is a love story. It's a story
about a man who is torn between two loves; the love of his daughter and the
love of a game that has been his entire life. Don't get me wrong, the stuff
about OBP and walks combined with runs per 9 innings and how that equates to wins
is very interesting. I think the performances of Philip Seymour Hoffman as Art
Howe and Jonah Hill as the fictional Peter Brand give solid performances,
as do Chris Pratt and Stephen Bishop. However, it's the "love story"
that seals the deal here. Whether the father/daughter relationship is a
Hollywood fabrication, or if it's 100% truthful, I have no idea, but the scenes
between Pitt and Kerris Dorsey, who plays Beane's daughter Casey, are
solid, touching and serve to ground the story in reality.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Of course, when you get right to it, this is a baseball movie, and
it's Pitt's depiction of Beane's love of the game that really allows this movie
to succeed. In some of the best scenes in the movie, Pitt says nothing; he
merely walks the stands of the Oakland Coliseum, strolls through the empty
locker room, or simply lies in the outfield grass. Anyone who has ever played a
sport, or loved a game so much, it's these little things that get taken for
granted. I know ever fall, I sometimes catch the smell of fresh cut grass on a
cool day and my mind suddenly has a football flash back. Yes, it's this
collection of subtle visuals that lift this movie from pedestrian to very good.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">I say, if you enjoy a good movie, and want to see something
entertaining that should not get an Oscar nod, but probably will because of the
people attached; then check this one out. However, if you are a baseball fan,
or just a sports fan in general, this is a must see, the story, the performances,
the tone of the subject matter combine making this the most earnest sports
movie since "Bull Durham," and that's saying something.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"></span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">They say dogs are a man's best friend, and that's no lie. There
are very few animals in this world as loyal as a dog. In fact, dogs are
probably more loyal than most people. So it's with a heavy and sad heart that
today I have to say goodbye to a dear friend. No, he's not my dog, he never was
my responsibility, and sure we never saw eye to eye on everything, but what
friend does, right? But Swoosh was no ordinary friend or dog, for that matter.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">I think humans can learn a lot from dogs, I know I have. I've
learned that sometimes, you’ve just got to take a nap, and it's OK to lick my
balls in public, and if poop in the grass, most likely somebody's gonna clean
it up. Not that those aren't all great things, but the most important thing
I've learned is that sometimes in life, there are more important things than
yourself, sometimes it's best to make other people happy, and in turn, you'll
be better for it. That's what Swoosh did. I saw it many a time, as Swoosh would
selflessly curl up next to someone and let them scratch his head or rub his
neck. Oh sure, he's a dog, he loves to get petted, but he knew that one of
life's greatest joys, is to pet a puppy dog.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">If you had a chance to know him, you know exactly what I'm talking
about, and you know there was no better feeling than when he purred like a cat
when you would pet him. I bet, if you ever spent any time with him, what so
ever, you probably walked away feeling a little better, a little happier.
That's what dogs do, and that's what Swoosh did, more so than any other. Now
the time has come to tell him goodbye. True, it's a sad day when you have to
say goodbye, but it's also a joyous thing to celebrate the life of someone, or
something so warm and caring. Some will say he's just a dog, and I will counter
with, "there's no such thing." Have you ever owned a dog, have you
ever looked into their eyes?” They aren't cat's, there's a soul in there, and
any person looking can see that. That's why they are man's best friend, because
if you love them, they will love you back, whole heartedly and without
prejudice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">I never knew a more loving person or animal in my life, and I've
never seen one loved more in return. I feel honored that I got to know him and
love him, and even though he wasn't my dog, he will always be my friend.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

If I could describe myself, I would use words like funny, charming, intellectual, and creative. Never once would you see the words, procrastinate, stubborn, impulsive, or impatient, the words I figure most people use to describe me. You see for me, "describing" yourself is about as vain and douchey as giving yourself a nickname. I have had several nicknames in my life, some I like(d) some I hopefully will never hear uttered to me again. They were all given to my by other people though, never of my own device.<br />
<br />
Living in Hollywood, and having to be around people that are constantly selling themselves, trying be a 'brand," I guess I should be used to all of this now, but for some reason I'm not. It's something I find I must do myself sometimes. Though I'm always careful to never cross that line, and trust me, it's a fine line. So, I have created a guide to let you know if you are crossing the line, and stepping into the world of being a sell out or just an outright douche.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>If you you describe your sense of humor as (insert adjective here), but people just don't get it... Most likely you've chosen poorly. Just because you think you're quirky, or adorable or whatever doesn't mean you are, it just means you want to be. In reality, you could be mean, insensitive, or just plain unfunny and never really know it. Hell, it took me a very long time to learn that my sense of humor is very dry, at least I'm told.</li>
<li>Anytime you give yourself a nickname.</li>
<li>If you go out of your way to call yourself a geek or nerd, you're probably not. I know nerd is cool now, but just because you have an iPhone and like Star Wars, doesn't mean your a nerd. Actually, if you were a nerd, you would have a hacked android phone and know why the Millennium Falcon is so much faster than any other ship in light speed (186,000 miles per second) even though they are all going the same speed.Or you might know the best type of crystal to focus a light saber. (correct answer: Kaiburr crystal).</li>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiChsL8sQ51k0u7e1hgM3PADE3xLFy5jCZUO9T3zaLVUvnbCHUI6M5WlcIpsn1SW0alJRy24PmwOWjnrDIZUx4duBIIv6yJx0Xak1LuXEI3-kC2gPRh7sB7aNvUqUnDk-Q2wEigksaNpjcB/s1600/353547245_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiChsL8sQ51k0u7e1hgM3PADE3xLFy5jCZUO9T3zaLVUvnbCHUI6M5WlcIpsn1SW0alJRy24PmwOWjnrDIZUx4duBIIv6yJx0Xak1LuXEI3-kC2gPRh7sB7aNvUqUnDk-Q2wEigksaNpjcB/s320/353547245_o.jpg" width="231" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A real geek owns this rare 1977 Star Wars t-shirt, but never wears it.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<li>If you describe yourself as a "Brand," or in the third person.</li>
<li>You are either a leader of people or you are not. That's just the way it is. You can't learn to lead, you can't be taught to inspire. Just because you are in charge, doesn't mean people will follow you.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Expect this list to grow with future posts, as this is just the tip of a much bigger issue. In fact feel free to comment with your own if you've got them. As for today's lesson... Bottom line, be yourself, and if you're funny, you'll be funny, if you're a leader, you'll lead, and if geek, you'll buy all seven versions of the Blu-ray Star Wars box sets that will be coming out in the next three years. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
P.S. this post is not about any one actual person, it's a collection of thoughts I've collected observing many people. So if you get offended by something in this post, I promise, it was not directed at you... though it could mean you probably are a douche.</div>

Season 1 to my relief, was recieved very well by fans and critics alike. Therefore, in case you didn't know, work on season 2 has begun starting with our successful Indie GoGo campaign. Currently, we are in the middle of the pre-production phase, which currently includes writing the six episodes that will make up the new season. In addition, there are several exciting peices being put in place to ensure that season 2 is the best yet. I know what you're thinking, "Jeff, you gotta tell us something." Of course my answer to that is, "No I don't," but because I'm a nice guy, I'll spill some beans right here and now. I am working very hard to get Hugh Jackman in season 2. I haven't heard back from his people yet, but the way I look at it, that's not a "no." So fingers crossed.<br />
I addition to new cast members, season 2 looks to up the anty on production value, writing, acting and use of dolls, to bring you the best comedy web series out there. I promise, you will not be disappointed.<br />

For those of you who follow me on Twitter know, I'm sure you know by now that I have a running joke which involves my "Quest" to get Hugh Jackman to follow me. To date, he is not following me. In fact, I've never even got a reply from him to even say, "Stop spamming me." No it would seem to date that my "quest" is just a one sided joke. Of course that is all it is, a joke (though some may not get the humor in it.) Of course, so many forget how Ellen "stalked" George Clooney for ever on the Warner Brothers lot, and it was all in good fun. All I'm doing are a few mentions and the occasional Follow Friday. Now, I know what you guys are thinking, "Jeff you're a writer, you're eventually gonna meet him anyway." To this I would say, "That is true." As a writer of awesome things, it is inevitable that Hugh Jackman will come to me to write a custom role, one of which will make him the biggest star the world will ever know. It would make him the Oprah of the silver screen. I mean, he'd be bigger that Kevin Costner... If you can believe that.<br />
However, for now, all I have is my little amusement. It keeps me happy, so I don't care what others think. I just want Hugh Jackman to know, it's just a little fun, nothing more. There is just one other thing...<br />
<br />
Once upon a time, Lorne Michaels offered the Beatles $3000 to appear on SNL. It was a brilliant move, which almost got the band back together. So Hugh, I offer you a similar deal. I am Co-Producer to a little web series called "Short Term" (www.shortterm.tv) and I am offering you the same deal that he offered the Beatles. Now there were 4 Beatles, and we don't have the budget to give one actor $3000. So this offer... the producers of Short Term will give you, Hugh Jackman, $500 for one line, and a 30 second appearance. Think about... let me know. You know how to reach me.<br />

It has come to my attention that douchebags are taking over the internet. In fact, my own non-scientific, unofficial research shows that 90% of the people who post things online are at least three quarters douche. <br />
What is an internet douche you ask? Well, an internet douche is someone who posts online on sites like Facebook and Twitter and think the more followers they get, the more important they are. Yet, when you look at what they have to say, it's completely inspired, un-original, and/or completely ripped off from someone else. In short, an online hack.<br />
<br />
How can I help stop internet douchebaggery? Glad you asked. By following comedians and entertainers like Heather Ho (@heatherhocomedy) you give people who are actually entertaining, and have something to offer society a stronger voice, which drowns out all the white noise caused by douchebags, such as wanna be celebrity bloggers and the like. When you give a real entertainer a platform, only good things can happen.<br />
<br />
<br />
So join me, and help @heatherhocomedy reach 2000 followers by July 4th, and in turn, help win back the internet for non-douchebags everywhere.<br />
