Oops.

It turns out the story about cameramen for Frozen Planet giving whiskey to penguins to make them "act up" for the camera was a total joke.

We knew something we fishy with the story.

Apparently we didn't realize that TheDailyMash.co.uk was a satirical website, similar to TheOnion.com.

They describe themselves as:

Some protestors wanted their voice heard Thursday when Michele Bachmann tried to give a foreign policy speech aboard the USS Yorktown.

When she began her speech, they interrupted the great political mind of our generation by chanting:

Oh man! We had FORGOTTEN about this!

Way back in the day, when Bradley Cooper was starting out as an actor, one of his first big roles came as an arrogant camp counselor alongside Amy Poehler in the HIGHlarious Wet Hot American Summer, in which he had quite the sex scene with his MALE co-star Michael Ian Black!

The actor must have as many fond memories filming the sequence as we had WATCHING it, because he recently opened up about some of the on-the-fly, ahem, 'creative' choices,' he made right before the big moment!

He explains:

“I remember saying, 'What if we wear tube socks, and I'll go up on the wall, and you'll come from behind me.' And I said in the scene, 'Say my name,' and Michael says, 'Ben!' And I say, 'No! Say my Christian name,' and he whispers, 'Benjamin,' and that's when I came.”

ZOMG! LOLz!

Just for nostalgia's sake - and not because it's actually kind of HAWT - check out the scene (above)!

Pretty ballsy of him, especially at that stage in the career! We're impressed…in more ways than one!

We think you should do more roles like this, boy! You know, to challenge yourself as an actor!

Ha!

P.S. Keep an eye out for a young Elizabeth Banks in the water at the beginning of the clip! EVERYONE was in this movie!

Good lord, truly NO ONE is safe from the HIGHlarity of Trey Parker and Matt Stone!

Check out a clip from the latest episode of South Park, which features a pretty LOL-worthy subplot involving the overwhelming omnipresence of Tyler Perry - and his film/TV empire - in the American public's lives (above)!

Oh man, this is TOO good!

You know NO limits, South Park! Don't you guys ever stop!

Broadway is about to get controversial AND HIGHlarious!

Back in September, we were excited to hear that South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone's religious satire The Book of Mormon was scheduled to premiere on Broadway on March 24.

Now, we're SO excited to announce that previews for the musical about "a pair of teenage Mormon missionaries sent to Uganda, where they confront war, famine and AIDS" will start THIS THURSDAY!

Oddly enough, Matt stone says the musical is pro-faith:

"…I mean, (Mormon) is a pro-faith musical. People may say, 'What?!' But that's what it's meant to be."

More from Stone:

"We can have a lot of fun at the Mormons' expense, because there's stuff in their religion that may seem silly to outsiders. But these are really nice people who believe what they do wholeheartedly. And that leads us to ask, well, what do you believe in, and what's goofy about that?"

Here's a statement that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued with regards to the play:

"The production may attempt to entertain audiences for an evening [but that Mormon scripture] will change people's lives forever."

And here's what Stone had to say in response:

"Those guys just kill us with kindness every time. Their response to our South Park episode (on Smith) was basically the same: 'Look, you're free to do what you want.' It's so big-hearted and fundamentally American."

Ha! Now we're REALLY intrigued by this musical…especially after Matt Stone said it's a "pro-faith musical." Inneresting way to describe a Mormon-themed play by the South Park guys…

Are U excited for this play? Do U think it will, in fact, be "pro-faith?"
