Everyone please, bow your heads, and pretend to be serious.

I wouldn't want to be the one...

Welcome nothing - I thought we already elected one of them as US President.

What is Adult Swim?

[pwnage]

Is it some kind of water-fetish pr0n channel? Chicks in swimcaps and such?

From the Robot Chicken/Adult Swim error page:

Please be advised that you almost broke the Internet. Trying to get somewhere? Use the navigation at the top of the page. If you're still having problems, update your browser or your version of Flash. Just stop whatever it is that got you here because it's seriously freaking us out.

Apparently the Robot Chicken Download Page is not quite working... Nice to know they let their geeks get a laugh too at least.

...which, of course, is why they picked Friday nights for the webcast!

(whew -- I sure saved that one! I almost looked really stupid there...)

Even if it is the same one who gets the advertising check?

Re:Cool!

I'm not interested then.. heh.

Hmm...

Re:PLEASE MOD ME UP

[Anonymous Coward]

just a small heads up - it's not smart to threaten to kill yourself at the same time you're asking someone to marry you. Generally when people jump into marriage they're after a bit of stability & consistency. Suicidal spouses are just really messy.

why not tonight??

[ManifestDestiny]

Damnit... i really could have used my daily dose of adult swim tonight. i need my aqua teen. what is a poor stoner to do?

Re:This is perfect for...

[Jah-Wren Ryel]

This is perfect for me and my roommate--we are college students with our own apartment...she misses her Adult Swim.

Clearly you made up this story to troll for karma. Any real slashdothead with a collage-age female roomate would not be so worried about tv cartoons when the distraction of sex is so readily available. If you aren't able to distract her from the tv, you just need to learn how to properly catch and eat beaver.

Same thing holds if you are both girls, in fact, it goes double and requires a webcam.
