This week on infoMania the news wants you to know they're hip to Woodstock's 40th anniversary, two shows that celebrate the strange joy of child beauty pageants, Bryan discovers that lesbian kisses equal TV ratings gold, Sergio looks at the hottest pop videos on YouTube, and Brett explores the free health care option that is the world wide web.

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, Bryan Safi 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.

    • Amazing show guys!
      I really fear for the next generation of people with all these beauty pageants & sucky music.
      I mean really, Mariah that was scary
      But Anne seems nice :D
      Ben that was an awesome suit
      almost as awesome as the sequin coat!

    • White Hot did seem really short. That's Gay is pretty true. Lesbian-ess usually means "Jump the Shark" for most shows. Bryan missed out on Thirteen from House, the bi-sexual doctor. Ooh!

      The videos they show on Viral Video makes me really really sad. Almost as sad at those Pageant Parents. Gross people. Maybe if you weren't projecting your desires/chasing your lost dreams of being pretty through your kids I wouldn't hate you so much.

      Criss Angel is a... bag. Skeevy.

      Love love love Ben's outfit.

    • The male-on-male kisses in Friends were only there for gross-out/awkward comedy, unfortunately. There's a ton of really awful gender stereotyping and gender role bullshit on that show. But I still watch it...am I awful? =/

      Brett, I'm really happy you actually used the wall piece somebody sent a few weeks back (the Snapes on a Plane one). I actually noticed right away and it made me smile.

      Ben, I really love the jacket. You should definitely be wearing that in every episode.

      Connor, hilarious as always.

      Great work everyone. Your show really does brighten my week.

    • Great show!!!

      That's Gay was spot on, although for the sake of accuracy, there were a few guy-on-guy lip locks on Friends (Ross and Joey in one episode and Joey and Chandler in another. My brother, of all people, informed me of this).

      Viral Video Film School was funny, I like it when Brett's on Infomania.

      Question for Ben: Was the background you used from Saved By the Bell? :)

      And Connor, I always feel like you get short shrift in my comments but you are the glue that holds this show together, love ya!

      You guys just keep getting better and better!

      I just realized I didn't give Sergio any love...

      If it weren't for White Hot Top Five I would never know about all this craptastic music (except for the Michael Jackson song which I heard about 15 years ago!). Thanks Serg!

    • Obsessed is Mariah's diss to Eminem, whom she was 'portraying' in her video. I guess getting a look-alike woulda been lame, but no less lame than dressing up like him. She couldn't win making a video out of it, I guess, lol

    • Damn Brett, I guessed what your notes were about better that I thought.

      Hilarious, informative, and insightful.

      Great show as usual.
