infoMania 11.20.08 // Current

Chewing up the week's media so we can regurgitate it, half-digested, into your mouth.

On this week's infoMania douche bags strike back (legally), Ben checks out World of Warcraft porn, we can finally scratch and sniff the Sexist Men Alive, Brett gets sentimental while watching Obama girl shake it, Conor shows us why the wolfman is the most risqué of TV's reality outdoorsy stars and Sergio counts down the 5 most punk songs according to punkrockvids.com

infoMania is a half-hour satirical news show that airs on Current TV. The show puts a comedic spin on the 24-hour chaos and information overload brought about by the constant bombardment of the media. Hosted by Conor Knighton and co-starring Brett Erlich, Sarah Haskins, Ben Hoffman, and Sergio Cilli, the show airs on Thursdays at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific Times and can be found online at current.com/infomania. And make sure to check out our facebook profile for special features at infomaniafacebook.com.

- After seeing your take on adorable news...um...I need to reassess how I define adorable.
  Thanks to Sergio, this also applies to what I used to call Punk Rock.
  No Sarah Haskins was sadness (although that did look like her sniffing someone's something in a magazine).
  Ask yourself, "Are Porn and Weather Channel music the same?"
  Another show that will live in infamy.

  I bet that wolf guy would marry those wolves if society would let him.
  
  Worrisome.
  
  Except for the hard to watch man on wolf love, the show was PDF.
  
  PDF = Pretty Damn Funny...and yes, I just made that up.

  Sarah's cameos as "voice of freaked out reporter" and "magazine sniffing woman #1" didn't appease you then, I take it?
