The following events are real and highly offensive to almost everyone. Innocence died sometime around when Spider-Man made deals with Marvel's satanic figure or the final cancellation of Bozo the Clown. And in its shallow grave, one unaired episode of one show some people sort of liked was laid. This is that episode.

Superman, Alice Cooper, Stephanie Meyer and Truman Capote on whose line: this concept is GOLD. Absolutely loved this, the descriptive detail is amazing and the whole thing is really really hilarious.

I've always loved Whose Line Is It Anyway, and I should have guessed that your cracked-out version of it would veer off into satire pretty quickly. As must always happen, when working with Idol.

Something about Gary's abstract writing prompts always makes me want to analyze society, as though an indirect way of me saying "Why the hell am I here?"

Thanks for the read.
