By 2006, the laughs were drying up on TV. Someone needed to come along and push comedy into the new century. One man, a lone Canadian blogger had already proven his talent with plays in 2000 and short stories in 2004. In 2006 he began making daily entries, many of which took the form of humourous monologues. For George Carling and his flagging, funny friends, it was a prayer answered. He started out by lifting a blog about how a loving God wouldn't punish us, in order to see if he would be punished for it. When no punishment came it sent a signal to his funny friends on TV that the Canadian's blogs were open for plunder. The Canadian noticed what was happening to his work and it made his daily posts even funnier. But by the year's end he had to insist on punishing the network employees who stole from him. A week or so later he had a change of heart and decided to bury the hatchet. He figured that by showing that he could get people in trouble for committing fraud with his work, they'd leave him alone if he vacated the internet. But the evil stars wouldn't leave him alone. They were released and put in front of cameras to look innocent at the expense of their victim. They then went about building their fabulous careers out of their victim's abandoned work and taunted him until he was forced back online to protect his name.
It's easy to see why these comedy superstars needed someone else to produce work for them. If they can get a thrill from committing comedy fraud, they have no sense of humour.
