Did you hear that the BBC is putting out a new series that features quiet, awkward, nerdy comedians mocking 17th century metaphysical poetry? What a lame idea. I mean, the BBC is always rehashing the most bland, redundant material. When are they going to get their act together?

If you don’t know to whom we refer, we direct you to the words of Dan Savage: “Hey, everybody: By now, you’ve no doubt heard the news that America’s favorite crystal-meth-snorting, male-escort-blowing evangelical Christian pastor is cured!”
