Friday(ish) Round-Up: August 20, 2005

OK, so it's not technically Friday anymore. Big whup, you're still getting your goddamned Round-Up.

But don't let our pissy missive spoil your fun; there's some good solid comedy waiting, and all that is required from you is a mere click or scroll. New this week: a peek at the freaks that comprise the Fall 2005 JEI intern crop; offensive product marketing from one of the largest chicken-murdering corporations, a weepy tale of regret from a frozen-grinned play toy, and more Pocky. There's always more Pocky.

Jimmy missed his deadline this week, but rest assured, he's got another column in the pipe. Look for that by Monday, plus some more Ephemedia and we reveal the best sandwich you'll never eat. Plus some other crap. OK? OK.
