Boom Times In The Comedy Industry

It’s been a booming year for the comedy industry, already flush from the antics of Spears and Lohan, coffers overflowing with presidential candidates presenting about three dozen individual feet that might get swallowed by a runaway mouth on most any day, with a dollop of some foot-tapping bathroom follies for dessert. Yes, it’s been good times.

Now it appears another pro football player is once again getting headlines that have nothing to do with the game of football, they have to do with felonies that may result in years in jail.

Part of me feels a sense of double deja vu, and watching the helicopter footage this afternoon, expected to see a White Bronco. But most of me says … “ho, hum. What’s on Comedy Central?”

Oh, it’s Jon Stewart, suggesting that the city of Las Vegas is going to change their tourism slogan from “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” to “Las Vegas, no one leaves the room, mother%$@&#!!!”

I think, if for nothing else, we must thank OJ for the punchlines we’ll hear in the coming months. And note that is exactly what his “career” and “fame” have been reduced to … an ongoing punchline.
