    Herb Scannell, Bally's chairman and CEO released this statement: "In recent weeks, GLAAD and other LGBT advocates have rightly called out the hateful standup routines performed by both Dave Chappelle and Roseanne Barr regarding Johanna Thomas's gender affirmation journey. Humor has always been foundational to Comedy Central's brand. But to clean up the network's image going forward, we have no other choice but to sever ties with Barr and Chappelle effective immediately."
    - CNN on UPN

    "My old stomping grounds has officially changed its name to Transphobia Central!"
    - Stephen Colbert during his monologue on The Late Late Show.

    "Because of Comedy Central's questionable judgement in just the past month, I will not produce content for that network in the forseeable future. If there is enough interest from fans for Mystery Science Theatre 3000 to be revived, I will instead meet with XYZ, FX, USA Network or Warner Freeform.

    On the one hand, I would love to see FX be the new home of MST3K, especially given Disney's connections to Star Wars through Fox.

    On the other hand, I feel happy that Popeye is one of the better-performing shows on Saturday Mornings.

    While Slamiversary had been a success, the SAGWA strike put a damper on every promotion possible due to talents being required to not work any shows until the strike ends. For Impact, this hurt them due to the fact that the only SAGWA members on their roster was AJ Styles, Scott Steiner, and the Jericho Sports Entertainment Union. as such several matches was changed.

    Six Woman Tag Match:

    The Tokyo Strikers (Kana, Io, and Mio Shirai) vs. Stardom Joshi (Nanae Takahashi, Sumie Sakai, and Meiko Satomura)

    If you’re wondering why a quarter of the talents on this card are relatively new faces, that is because these are the first set of call ups from Ohio Valley Wrestling. With help from Al Snow, OVW will become Impact's minor league developmental territory by the end of the year. The motive behind this is to help transition the Indie circuit to SAGWA’s standards much like WCW Breakout and NWA Wildside.

    Oldnavy I remembered several old orignal movie ideas

    Idea 1 Fortune Cookies
    Two kids are sent to live with grandfather who runs a Restaurant in newyork's china town. .They soon learn that grandfather is a wizard who give magic good luck fortune cookie to good people who are suffering hard times. Grand pap trys teachign them how to make the magic forutuen cookies. One of the kids has the kanck fo making good luck fortune cookies but the othe child fortune cookies end up causing bad luck. When the local triad finds out about the cookies they kidnap grandpa and force him to write cookies that make them rich. The two kids go to recuse grandpapa. The Child who makes the good good luck cookies thinks that his cookies will give him the luck to save this father. However the boy finds out that his good luck cookies can't be used to hurt people even in attempt to save someone from an evil kidnapper. Thus the boy winds up getting kidnapped by the triad too. However his sibling his recuse him and grandpab by tricking the triad ganstgers in reading on the bad luck cookies. I told you this idea years ago back in verison 1.0 old and you gave me a like emoticon but you didn't use it. I hope use during 2.0. Here is another old idea .


    Idea 2 Spirt Animals

    The story begins with an archeologist bring home an totem. Unbeknownst the archeologists the Totem is magic. His two sons active the totem. The totem creats two magical spirit animals which are reflect strongest part of the children's souls. One spirit animal is a roudgh and tumble but noble tigeman or a cowboy lizard. The other cute lovable timid squirrel or chimpmuck boy who is quite cleaver. A greedy company finds out about the totem. They steal it to make mascots for their themepark. The company board use the totems themselves. The board members spirit animals end up being evil beastmen who take over the company and plot to take over the world. It is up to the archeologists t sons and their spirit animals to stop the evil beast men. Since you are not using my totmes idea in 2.0 then I would suggest renaming Sprit animals Totems

    Idea 3 Outdated Evil

    This movie is a satire of life in Modern day Los Angles. It begins in a medieval European village that is being terrorized by a demon who thinks he is superior to humanity and has the right to enslave humanity and use them his toys. The local peasent almost lose hope when it looks like the demon is going to kill a knight who is in charge of protecting the village However at the last minute a travel monk arrives in town and uncorks a flask of elixir of arbain orgin (the exlir is later revealed to be coffe) and the smell of the exlir weaken the demon given the the knight the change to seal away the demon away in a magic box. Centuries the box winds up the fantasy section of an American theme-park. Some one brakes the box and the demon is unleashed . The demon trys to wreak havoc and scare the local but the in the modern day the smell of the Arabian elixir more common so the demon is only at fraction of his power. The demon fails to scare modern humans . Most people think he just a harmless madman in a suit. Even when people recognize him as demon are not afraid of him. Rich people who relzie that he demon is real laugh his threats as minor incovinces that they can deal with their technology or money. Poor People are so jaded by being oppresed by the rich that if they rezile that the demon is real shrug of his cruses now worse then the day to problems they face in life . Alot of the humor diervies form the demon being quite bewildered and hindered by modern techongly and customes. At the end of the movie the demon decides h can't stand the 21st and decides to seal himself away in the box in hopes that in a few time the nuclear war or natural distaste will cause mankind to revert to a mevial style civalziton that would think of him as threat mankind again. The film is set in the modern or near future invader zim style distopia .I like the idea of a subplot of a bratty rich kid trying to make the demon his bet. The kid father relizes that the demon is real and hurt the demon by telling him that his son is a biger devil then he 'll ever be. I told geekish kahan this idea and he like it but he never got a round to using it. He did right a little of dialog. I possted the dialog . I you do an outdated evil post then perhaps you should ask geekish for permison to use his dialog

    Demon: Your streets will run with blood! Sin and vice shall be everywhere! All plants will die and all will be a grey, lifeless pit of debauchery!

    Guest 1: Wow, sounds like Hollywood Boulevard on a Friday night, am I right?

    Demon: No! I mean screaming monsters rushing at high speeds through the streets, shrieking and spewing poison!

    Guest 2: Ah, Interstate 5, then?

    Demon: Listen to me!! Your children will live on the scraps and viscera of swine!!!

    Guest 3: You mean hot dogs?

    NBC Sports has placed Mike Milbury on administrative leave after an incident in Philadelphia. During a preseason game between the Flyers and the Mighty Ducks of San Diego at the Wachovia Center, Milbury was interviewing Ducks owner Tiffany Disney behind the San Diego bench when a Flyer fan reached over, pulled back the waistband of Disney's pants and poured beer into her Depend undergarment. When an NBC cameraman pointed the fan out, Milbury threw his microphone aside and got physical with the fan. Just like he did as a player back in the 70's, Milbury clobberred said Flyer fan with his own shoe.

    MLP is way out in front right now. While that series is aimed for girls 12 and under, it enjoys a massive crossover appeal with Gen X and Y adults.

    The winners and losers for each time slot depend on your personal tastes.
