Have you ever felt a flash of murderous hate for someone who regularly behaves like a total dickbag? Have you wanted to live in a world free of reality-TV personalities who, through their perverse celebrity status, have a greater effect on behavior than do people whose lives are truly upstanding?

Cool Stuff: Gallery1988's "Is This Thing On" Art Show
I wasn't planning to write about Gallery1988's first annual "Is This Thing On" art show as it really has little connection to movies or television (or so I thought... the above piece featuring Judd Apatow mashed-up with the infamous Star Trek Tribbles episode is a fine example of this). The show, co-sponsored by FunnyOrDie, features…
