Over the weekend, Oprah Winfrey was given the Kennedy Center lifetime achievement award. Because she demanded it.

She then celebrated by eating the Kennedy Center.

"No Badge. No Gun. No Clue."

Re: "Security"

Please check out this short film I wrote and produced, "Security." It's a "COPS" parody, made long before Paul Blart, Observe & Report, and others jumped on the mall cop bandwagon.
Worthy of note: The film stars QVC on-air host Sharon Faetsch (very nerded up) and was directed and edited by Lee Scott of Atomik Video.

Re: The Hollywooder Rebbe

Please check out the short film, "The Hollywooder Rebbe," linked below from YouTube. I was fortunate enough to meet and interview The Rebbe, one of hippest and holiest sages of our time.
The Hasidic stuff is very 'inside,' but so are the industry references, so everyone can be equally amused and confused.

Disclaimer

Thank you for visiting "News Riffs Comedy." I hope you come back often to read new content and to re-read the stuff that made you laugh the first time. Go on and add it to your Favorites, while you're at it.

The material on this blog is meant to entertain, and as such, the content should in no way be taken seriously. The premises of each news story are all true, as reported in mainstream media sources, as news, current events, and/or pop culture. The reporters are either respected journalists or at least good-looking tele-prompter readers.

In no way are any jokes meant to hurt or defame anyone in any way. Especially not the government or any of its agencies, especially the FBI, the FCC, or the IRS, nor any big companies with lots of high-paid lawyers. I just love you guys.

The posts here are all "notebook sessions" in a nicer font. I write them fast and loose, with little or no time for spelling and typo corrections, let alone rewrites or editing. The main thing is to get the jokes down and post them.

The content itself may contain some language or themes that sensitive readers may find objectionable. I never try to shock or offend, but jokes that comment on certain people or cultural trends in the limelight are bound to go in that direction. My advice is, try to get over it. Take it as a commentary on the decline of civilization.

All material presented here is the sole property of the author and no rights to use or reproduce it are stated or implied. Please do not use any material without permission. If you want to use something, ask me.

Any user comments or claims in advertisements are the sole responsibility of the commenters, claimants and/or advertisers. I endorse nothing. But I'm available for endorsements if I like your product. How much money arewe talking here? Use your brain and decide for yourselves.

Finally, comedy is subjective. Chuckle over what you like and ignore what you don't.
So keep reading, and just relax.
