We’re so kidding. There’s no way anyone would cast Zac Efron as JFK, would they? Jimmy Kimmel wants to play Freddy to Leno’s Jason; X-Men be Damned! Bryan Singer to television; Just Jack gets Back in NBC’s Pack (Rhymes we gots them); Catfish to continue making people squirm in all their Pinocchio-ness; Ben Affleck backs out of K-Stew web.

And when something breaks? We hire someone to fix it for us, or more likely, just throw it out and go buy a new one at Target.
