Happy April Fools Day, you fools!

Since it's April Fools Day, I figured I'd share a story about a couple of fools. I heard this on MTV News last night, and it's gotta be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. You can read the story in full by clicking this link right here, but I'll sum it up. Basically, former Jackass stars Steve-O, Chris Pontius, and Jason "Wee-Man" Acuña showed up at a radio show in Toronto to promote the Canadian part of their "Don't Try This At Home" tour, as well as Steve-O and Pontius's nature show Wildboyz. Dressed in nothing but sweatpants, they dropped a few F-bombs and graphically described a stunt Steve-O calls "The Butterfly" (if you didn't click the link and want to know what that is, see me and I'll tell you). Security ended up having to throw all three Jackasses out, but only after Steve-O whipped out Lil' Steve-O and peed on a wall. The hosts of the radio show were fined and suspended without pay until this past Tuesday for violating the station's programming policies. Geez, there's a difference in being a jackass and being a freaking moron.

On the topic of former Jackass cast members, I think Dave Letterman may be misinformed. Johnny Knoxville was a guest on the show tonight to promote Walking Tall, and Dave kept saying he was "better known as Johnny Jackass." He is? Sure, Johnny was the Jackass ringleader, but has anybody besides Dave ever called him Johnny Jackass? Geez, if he was known as that, he'd be better off going by his real name (which is P.J. Clapp, since you probably didn't know). I like Letterman, but this "Johnny Jackass" thing is just dumb. Besides, the last episode of the Jackass TV show aired two years ago. Get with the program, Dave.

The cover of my VHS copy of Evil Dead 2 is creeping me out. It's just sitting in the floor staring at me. Either I'm going crazy or it wants to eat my soul. I should have my new mascot, the ferocious Evil Monkey, take care of it. Surely it shall be a battle comparable to the epic Shark vs. Alligator brouhaha that recently thrilled viewers of Adult Swim. The Evil Monkey vs. The Evil Dead. Be there. Or don't be there. See if I care.

Batman's got himself a new ride. It's... different. I thought it looked dumb at first, but it's growing on me. It's weird imagining Batman wheeling around in a Batmobile that looks like a tank, though I think it could be pretty cool once Batman Begins comes out.

I've recently been thinking of taking up golf. Not in going to courses and playing 18 holes, just hanging out in my front yard with some clubs and hitting balls. It's kinda like that one scene in Fight Club. You can get a million of these little "practice" golf balls (which are basically miniature wiffle balls) for something like 50 cents at Wal-Mart's sporting goods section. I've got 50 cents, so all I need are some clubs. And a caddy. Maybe a golf cart too.

You know a movie that's begging to be made? A third Bill & Ted movie. Keanu Reeves is no stranger to trilogies, and Alex Winter really isn't doing anything. Just call them and George Carlin up, and get this thing made.

You know, Godsend comes out in four weeks. They better make with the TV ads now, because this thing has no buzz at all. Other than the trailer looking cool, I haven't heard a single thing about it. But since it's being released by Lions Gate, it'll probably only see an extremely limited release, so all the TV ads in the world won't matter.

That's all for now. Sutton out.
