HIJACKED!!!
Greetings People!
Anyone who visited the site yesterday may have noticed that things were amiss. We were indeed hijacked by the old robot porn pirates but thanks to our crack web enforcer Bob at TehCompany.com things are back to normal now so feel free to wander around the site and if the urge strikes why not visit the SHOP and pick up new stuff from The Buddy System or a comic while you wait for the upcoming release of Ruby Isle’s full-length “Night Shot.”
Thanks to everyone who let us know about the problem, here’s to hoping we can dodge the roboporn uprising next time!

Lewis Black: No Free Lunch!
Our friends at Noise Pop have launched The No Free Lunch Campaign with Lewis Black to show support for service industry workers being screwed by buyout firms. They can describe it better than I can so here you go…
“Comedian Lewis Black filmed a “rant” against the greed of these “Buyout Barons.” Indie rock band Radio 4 contributed a great track for it too. Go to http://www.july17action.org to check it out, and find out how you can get involved by signing a petition or registering to attend an action on July 17, 2008 in your area.
Noise Pop became friends with SEIU, the largest Union in the country that represents hospital and healthcare workers, doormen and other service employees, last year in Austin when they partnered with us at our show and Zach Galifianakis brought some comic relief about the healthcare system in this country. It was a great way to engage our audience about an important issue. Now SEIU is taking on Private Equity and once again Noise Pop has teamed up with them to produce our first short film entitled “No Free Lunch”, written and directed by Antonino D’Ambrosio of La Lutta NMC and starring hilarious political comedian Lewis Black with original music by dance-punk band
Radio 4.
Check out the video here - http://www.july17action.org/ or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASCAama93R0
Below is an article in today’s NY Times about the campaign.

By MICHAEL J. de la MERCED
