Assuming that your answer to the question "have you 'broken' your penis?" is yes, why the fuck would you do this?

To help build a climate of acceptance and belonging in a world that currently marginalizes and disrespects the broken-penised.

"If you'd like to find out what happened to your penis, but are embarrassed to ask. The Oprah Show is looking for men who suffer from a ruptured penis and want to find out what you can do about it. We ask that only those who are willing to appear on National TV respond."

If they are embarrassed to ask what happened, how could they be OK with appearing on national (whoops, I mean "National") TV to find out?

If I had, in fact, broken my penis, I would never disclose that information to Oprah, of all people. She is pure, undistilled evil, and I hate her with the fire of 1,000 suns.

(Besides, I think she just wants to have a pool of broke-dick men together so that Steadman can have someone to compare notes with.)

The Bluth clan of Fox's ratings-challenged "Arrested Development" is also headed for the exit after Fox cut the third-season order on the Emmy-winning comedy to 13 episodes.

As for the demise of "Arrested," it comes just as the acclaimed comedy came back this week after a hiatus to make room for Fox's baseball coverage. The two back-to-back episodes averaged a paltry 4 million viewers Monday, sending Fox to fifth place in the 8 p.m. hour and putting a dent on the ratings of its lead-out, the rookie drama "Prison Break."

There is a possibility that the show will be shopped around, but its high cost is expected to be prohibitive for a cable network.

Fox said Thursday that it will pull "Arrested Development" and "Kitchen Confidential" off the schedule for the remaining three Mondays of the November sweep, replacing them with a rerun of the previous episode of "Prison Break" leading into an original episode of the serialized drama.

"Arrested" and "Kitchen" are set to return to their time slots with original episodes December 5, following the fall finale of "Prison Break" on November 28.

This just ruined my day. Fuck.

There is a big difference between a barbecue pit and a grill. And in any event, the pit will be buried once I'm planted in it.

I have not been a regular viewer of this show -- probably because the 8 p.m. hour is not generally an optimal viewing time, but when I've seen it, I thought it was pretty fucking funny, so that is a shame, and I hope they decide to find a place for it on FX, where it might fit in better, anyway.

On the bright side, I have the day off work today -- suckahs!

I am a television Luddhite who relies on things like the network's incessant advertising to inform me of the schedules of shows I should watch. I have no idea when they've shown Arrested Development recently and have only caught it sporadically in the past. It seemed like one of those shows that got bounced around the schedule. I would have watched it when I wasn't kayaking.

What are you, a waiter? Do you have to work a double tomorrow? Day off? Huh?

2 to the suckiness of the cancellation. But what do they expect when it's off the air for a month, moves time slots every few weeks, and gets zero promotion? Meanwhile, they can't hype OC and House enough.

Well, 23 minutes of my life back. Maybe I'll use it to watch half of each The Bachelor episode.
