Bad News Everyone - FOX wants to recast Futurama voices!

They are fuckers.

Via SciFi Wire:

No one was more thrilled than us at the news that Comedy Central was resurrecting Futurama with an order of 26 new episodes, to begin airing in 2010.

But now comes news on Forces of Geek that 20th Century Fox Television, which produces the series, may be considering recasting the voice roles. Say it ain't so!

Here's what the site reported:

According to no less than cast members John DiMaggio [Bender], Phil LaMarr [Hermes] and Maurice LaMarche on their Facebook pages, a casting notice has gone out to replace actors DiMaggio, LaMarche, Billy West [Fry] and Katy Sagal [Leela].

Recast Fry and Leela?? And Bender??

It seems clear that Fox is trying to cut costs for the show by hiring lower-paid voice talent—either that or trying to get a leg up on salary negotiations by sending out recasting notices to scare the current talent into rolling over on pay.

But fans may recall that Fox TV tried to muscle the original Simpsons voice cast in a similar fashion. That didn't go so well, so here's hoping the original Futurama cast remains intact."

This is yet another in a long series of unbelievably retarded decisions by FOX. Must be FOX News' stupidity rubbing off on the whole network. Did I mention they are fuckers?

Aurum and Crake together at last

A good friend of mine, Crake just acquired his gold star.

His hobbies include Iranian politics, Sci-fi, adoring Ayn Rand from afar, and being meta.

He loves cookies and has a knack for spotting inapproriate commercials.

I made him a picture through msn that I'll upload in just a bit, which is just delightful for the occasion.

Shake your canes and rattle your brains for Crake and his new golden idol.

Check out his queue, personal queue, and sifted videos.

This gold star isn't sketchy at all!

Ah, a delightful pun in the headline, success!

And more importantly, congratulations to Sketch for his success in making it up to the hallowed ranks of the golden.

Your key to the Olympic Victory washroom stalls will be sent to you by this kid.

Unless he's distracted by a butterfly or something. Or gets a kick to the face.

Yeah, so I'm pretty excited.

It looks like Comedy Central has ordered yet another 13 episodes of Futurama, which we all love.

That was my favourite sift post so far, thanks everyone for joining in! Even if you didn't wanna tell us a story the upvoting of comments was the perfect way to contribute

And so i've made my decision. It was hard because the one I most enjoyed (BreaksTheEarth) hadn't got his applauded. I knew I should have worked another way round that, maybe next time...

Bea's was epic as are all her stories, I could spend weeks around a campfire with her, that's for sure. I expect we now know who the father of her kids is though...
Gwiz, i'm glad you thought of not one but two things to share with us, and I didn't smell a whiff of emo at all
rasch - I'm sorry I simply don't believe a lovely guy such as you could possibly get up to such mischief, you probably cried and called the police - you're disqualified.
schmawy, it's a great relief to know that even though you are potentially the nicest guy on the planet, you're still going to hell
calvados, would it really have been tmi to share the contents of your pants with us after that experience? That's a wicked story and you've raced up the cool-o-meter for most of us i'm sure!
Edeot... Well that explains everything really. Thanks for the insight there. Oh and btw, if you really think your sis isn't saving that up for the best moment possible, then you know nothing about females
Orn you are blatently leaving something out of that story, are you ashamed?
Haldaug, are you sure you weren't smoking that ganja, seriously. Sounds like you were in a Wes Anderson movie, wished I could have been there.

vsbm, thanks for the quality and your very vivid depiction of an all time party-hard-suffer later moment. I was recently somewhere similar myself after downing 3/4 of a bottle of pear vodka in shots. Puked up my kidneys the next day, so your story took me back there good and proper! JAPR you brought a tear to my eye... not really but it was lovely even if you were drunk. Thanks mate and who'd have known you were a filthy bastard irl eh

Thanks everyone else too, I got such a good vibe from this thread, really felt like I should start giving a shit again. So anyway it's kind of between RhesusMonk and NeuralNoise. Thing is I loved the kick-ass content of NN's and the way it was written was really great as well as the conclusion to round it off perfectly. And then Monk's, it's a fucking classic, and I can appreciate more than anything else when people are willing to just spill stuff out and be honest and not give a shit, it's refreshing

So i'm giving you both a promote, you win, you're winners, woohoo!

Please don't quality this anyone, it's just an add on of the other thread

Len has reached gold right after me, showing what a good example I´ve set.
Len likes Toys and Star Wars, and Star Wars Toys.
Len has never seen the 2G1C video, which we should not allow to continue, rickrolling him into watching it asap.
Len is much worried about the Texas Flunking Garbage Patch.

Now you may all go to his pqueue and be merry with it!

(also check out his site, he has been busy painting AND poeting:

Rasch187 hits 500; how does it feel?

Rasch is in the basement
Fixing up the embeds
Singing with an alien
Thinks she might be a man

Cat in New York studio
Painting Campbell’s soup cans
Makes fifteen-second videos
That’s your pop art movement

Look out kid
It’s somethin’ you did
Only God knows how
You got silver diamond
By posting stupid videos
Produced by Hans Moleman
Then you say Jesus
Is your new best friend
But you can’t be a born-again
Posting vids with naked chicks in them

_______________________________________________________________

Alright, so I'm no poet, but don't hold that against Rasch. Give him some love, or I swear I got a whole passel of shitty couplets that I'll unleash on ya. Don't fuck with me.

The Krupo Appreciation Society - 500 Diamond woohoo!

VideoSift's own accountant, Krupo, has become the newest member of the 500 Diamond club. It's a small and exclusive club, but the perks granted in the executive bathroom are well worth the effort I'm told.

Besides managing the *woohoo channel (one of the channels with the most quality vids), Krupo also has one of the best playlists on VS, "Controversies", where the hate and disagreement never ends! Trust me, it's good readin'.

Krupo's also a big supporter of sift-ups:

Thanks for being a quality sifter Krupo, you've proven beyond any doubt that even a tooth looks great with a hat!

I posted a video of the Price is Right yesterday, and now it is nowhere to be found. Not only that, but the same video was posted by another sifter.

Where did my video go?
