Superjail! Trips Balls So You Don't Have To

Daniel Barnum-Swett · 02/18/10 11:45AM

Each Superjail! episode devolves quickly from relative normalcy (it does take place inside a meta-volcano inside another volcano) to total psychedelic lunacy, usually all triggered by the fantasy prison's warden and his sadistic taste for cartoon violence.

Turner shuts down comedy site SuperDeluxe.com, and "no one could deny they were crying their asses off"

Turner will shutter comedy site SuperDeluxe.com and roll its content into AdultSwim.com, paidContent reports. In an internal memo, Turner Animation exec Paul Condolora writes that "in SuperDeluxe.com and AdultSwim.com, we have businesses whose potential for individual growth is limited by their increasingly complementary content." They say dying is easy and comedy is hard, but in this case we beg to differ. It all reminds us of the time — documented in an episode of SuperDeluxe's "Professor Brothers," below — that "a group of Marys went up to lay flowers and toys on Jesus's grave" and discovered "that there were doves, everywhere and they were crying their asses off."

Breaking: Mysterious, Flashing Boxes Not Bombs, Just Poorly Conceived Marketing Campaign

As alluded to in the typically restrained Drudge Report headline above, the freakout level in Boston has been officially reduced from "Holy shit, someone is leaving crazy-looking bombs all over the city!" to, "Hey, no terrorist would ever use Aqua Teen Hunger Force characters to sow the seeds of mass panic! This is just an incredibly ill-advised marketing campaign, everything's OK!" as Turner Broadcasting has claimed responsibility for the harmless flashing electronic boxes it scattered around the city to promote its Cartoon Network show through the widespread soiling of the undergarments of demographically desirable population segments. In its "sorry for the unintended terror scare" statement, Turner indicated that the devices have "have been in place for two to three weeks" in a variety of other cities, including Los Angeles, so our own wave of marketing-induced hysteria should roll along just as soon a shopper decides to report one of suspicious blinking boxes planted in The Grove's parking structure to security, rather than just shrug their shoulders in resignation and agree that it's time someone finally took out that place.
