‘It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s DickTowel.com Is Still Very Much A Thing

Fifteen years after Mac and Dennis lost the copyright for the incredible Dick Towel to The Lawyer, the iconic It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia merchandise is still going strong on the online market. It’s just too bad that Charlie was too illiterate to ever lock down the domain name for Kitten Mittens.

In the classic Season Five It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode “Paddy’s Pub: Home of the Original Kitten Mittens,” the gang is surprised to learn that, for a time, some of their schemes actually work. When a merchandising convention comes to Philadelphia, the proprietors of Paddy’s Pub split up to work on their respective business ideas that they plan to pitch to potential investors, and a couple of them prove to be profitable — for The Lawyer, that is.

J.K. Rowling Is the Subject of a New Controversial Comedy

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is one of the biggest arts festivals in the entire world, and it always features a number of interesting comedic acts. For example, this year we’re getting the premiere of a musical parody all about the shitty Willy Wonka event that we’ve already forgotten about and completely moved on from. But hey, at least non-Scottish non-comedian John Stamos is tangentially involved. 

One of the shows at the festival that’s getting a ton of media attention is TERF, which isn’t a misspelled stage show about foam toys, but rather, a satire seemingly about J.K. Rowling and her raging transphobia and unbridled enthusiasm for crapping all over her own legacy.
