infoMania 7.2.09: Goodbye Michael Jackson

re-size
This week on infoMania we take a look at the wall-to-wall Michael Jackson media madness. Conor tries to figure out what the heck Nancy Grace is so mad about. Ben lays out his thoughts on the success of Transformers 2. Sarah takes a serious look at hair commercials. Sergio counts down the top 5 rap videos on iTunes. And people shoot rockets out of their butts.

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 http://current.com/infomania/ or on Current TV. And make sure to check out our facebook profile for special features at http://infomaniafacebook.com.

UPDATE: Thanks for all the great submissions! The call-out for shirts is now closed.

    I don't want to be that guy on the internet who tells you not to use "begging the question" in the incorrect way you (and everyone else on tv) has decided to use it. But hey look it seems like I am! Please, please, please don't do it? For me?

    Ben's passion for the truth is inspiring.

    Hello guys. I don’t have a webcam for the moment, so if you have some people you want them to disappear or just receive a good amount of kicks in the butt, just tell me and I’ll do it in exchange of an infomania shirt. Deal?

    And I will help Sarah’s hair with some Spanish lessons too. Is a bargain! No te preocupes Sarah, que yo te ayudo por una camiseta.

    Shameless Self-Promotion Haiku:

    I could spread the word
    "Infomania" around
    With a free T-Shirt

    *****************************************************
    Haiku for the hosts:

    Brett, Sarah, Connor
    To a lesser extent Ben,
    Sergio, YOU ROCK!!

    ******************************************************

    Rationale Haiku:

    A shirt on a fan
    is worth one hundred thousand
    In a dank office

    ******************************************************

    Gimme a free T-shirt or else!

    You people are elitist! Just because you have a webcam and I don’t you can get a t-shirt? Is all Obama’s fault! Damn!

    infomania
    a sinful perturbation
    Shall I abstain via
    Flagellation?
    To live my life
    by closing temptations doors
    but my hero Ted Haggard
    Loves meth and whores
    So Connor, Sarah, Ben, Brett and Serg
    I'm confused if they're a blessing or an amoral scourge
    And also there's a gay man but he's new so i can't remember his name
    but it's not because of my religious affiliations
    We're pretty progressive...
    It's not a cult.
    Seriously good show though.
    Shirt Please!

    Conor's face at 8:22 is a national treasure.

    I've been watching this show for years now, I can still remember when Conor and Brett were the only ones and it was called google something. I've remained loyal over the years. I still enjoy watching it and I'm always eager to see what you come up with next. Please send me a t-shirt! Thank-you! (Sorry that you can't almost hear my voice, my family was sleeping in the next room!)

    Anyway, great show, Sarah and the rest of the infoMania gang always manage to crack me up!!! Loved the editorial and Ben, I'm sorry Michelle excluded you from the list. Maybe I will go see Transformers...
