The Death of Comedy is a burlesque radio sitcom and sketch show, mixing the Vaudevillian with the absurd, the surreal and the transgressive. This spectacle centers around a duo of ignorant, amoral and anarchist DJs (DJ Bao Ze and MC Nuggets), their tendency to discover bad ideas and their determination to see them their disastrous ends. In reckless pursuit of impropriety, new satire and old schtick, the DoC boldly crosses the line, jumps the shark, tips the Sacred Cow and smashes the Overton Window. We’d like to thank KPTZ for always giving us enough rope to hang ourselves. This is The Death of Comedy . . . We’re killing it!

Clark Kent's tendency to tear off his clothes and run away during stressful situations doesn't seem to raise eyebrows in Metropolis, but what other pervy things could a comic book hero get away with?

Science fiction teaches us many useful lessons. One of the most oft-repeated of these is that when aliens invade us they will ultimately be done in by a lack of preparatory research. They usually miss something small but deadly, like the presence of harmful bacteria, or computer viruses . . . or water -- you know that researcher lost his job!
Here is an eye witness account of such an invasion.
