  And I will just buy all DVDs and lock into a 2001 furnished room and watch Futurama all day. I found out that THINGS are my friends, now.

why in the hell is he saying that another season was in the works if he didn't have a contract signed for it? One would muse that the lead voice actor for a television show would wait until the ink has at least dried on his contract before announcing his next venture.

from BillyWest.com: I do live to give good Futurama news to people.So I must've died or something.

Isn't it obvious? He has a brain slug!

Fortunately, some of us know how to take a source into context and realize that this is a quasi-news site, not a courtroom.

A courtroom-style format would be a breath of fresh air.
