Dear Infomania,
I've been watching you and Current ever since you bough News World International! Yeah, I'm old school. I love the programming, the shows, even Ben Hoffman. haha.
Since my webcam broke, I am going to post a video of me chasing a llama. I hope this still gets me a t-shirt!
Sincerely,
Felipe Fernandes

Infomania is getting really repetitive. Also Ben Hoffman's editorial, was that of a madman. and I'm saying this in the kindest of ways. Conor Knighton was unoriginal, boring, and unoriginal. The only funny section, was Sarah Haskins' one.

Infomania is the show to watch,
whether your drinking scotch or itching your crotchConor Knighton is the sweet host,
I bet he smells like my moms french toast.Sarah Haskins knows what women want,
too bad shes a bit nonchalantBrett Urlich searches youtube with hair like a goat,
Remember the time when he was on a boat?Sergio Chili is a cool fellow,
when he dances to single ladies, his legs look like jello.
Ben Hoffman is always funny,
Searching Craigslist will never get him any honeyRemember to watch Infomania on current TV,
10 o'clock eastern or 7 pacific is my concern - 2 years ago

I tweeked a Rumi poem just for you, see if you can tell where
"Oh! Supreme Lover!
Let me leave aside my worries.
The flowers are blooming
with the exultation of your Spirit.By Allah!
I long to escape the prison of my ego
and lose myself
in the mountains and the desert.These sad and lonely people tire me.
I long to revel in the drunken frenzy of your love
and feel the strength of Rustam in my hands.I'm sick of mortal kings.
I long to see your light.
With lamps in hand
the sheikhs and mullahs roam
the dark alleys of these towns
not finding what they seek.You are the Essence of the Essence,
The intoxication of Love.
I long to sing your praises
but stand mute
with the agony of wishing in my heart,
Infomania" - 2 years ago

Infomania what can I say?
Your show delivers news in such hilarious ways,
although there are laughs and jokes you do make,
you still never forget what reason you have at stack,
with your talk of the news of how they says its not right,
to hug another more then twice,
its simple to see that its no threat,
but the news never wants to think of the obvious,
you make us look at the faults that many to do miss,
and make us think beyond all of this.
There women that maybe can do more,
then just think of there hair or cleaning the floors,
you show us music that's suppose to be great,
it only lack's really lyrics and name.
Then there technology which is ever growing,
thank goodness there is someone who seems all knowing,
and what's the latest thing we should buy?
A wii?
Playstation?
I'll wait to see on Thursday night.
There randomness all over the web,
Ya!
For someone to make scenes of all of it,
Infomania what more can I say?
I look forward to your show every Thursday.yeah a bit gay but here my poem stating how awesome you guys are!!!!!!! I hope more people watch your show and see the awesomeness!

Hi Conor, Sarah, and Sergio too,
Brett, Ben, Natalie (my favorite), and the rest of the crew…
As your sole viewer from the rural southeast
I’d LOVE to wear your shirt to combat disease!
Of the mind, that is: Fox-and-Friends-itis;
It’s a rampant local problem I try hard to fight… -is…
So your show every week is like a breath of fresh air
I always have the podcasts to show everywhere!
I don’t know how you’ll get it to me but I wear adult small
(And I’ll represent you way better than our governor did for us all!)
Although that’s not saying much. Please do not associate me with that moronic headliner –
Here’s coming at y’all from South Caroliner!

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.

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.
