Johnny Blue Jeans Has a Blog?

It's true. Johnny Blue Jeans himself, Mr. Michael Ian Black, has a blog. A more interesting aspect: it's not only about commenting on recent news for the sake of being funny. He seems genuinely interested in discussing real issues in addition -- of course -- to the expected comedic (amd maybe sometimes unintentionally so?) blog rant.

So far, some favorite entries include:

Hey Doritos, Get Your Shit Together - "They came out in 1966. Nobody else was mass-marketing tortilla chips back then, let alone flavoring the shit out of them. Doritos was the Google of its time, so far superior to any other chip out there that to put it in the same snack food category as, say, Lays Potato Chips, would be an insult to the term “snack food category.”

I Never Thought I Would Be the Guy Writing to His Congressman to Legalize Pot - Proof that known celebrities and media personalities actually do write letters to their government representatives. Blue Jeans power!

Not familiar with Michael Ian Black's work (or a child of the 80s, for that matter)? Check out the iconic Wet Hot American Summer. Or you can look online for recent episodes of "Reaper" where he did a 4-episode stint as a gay demon banished from heaven after being tricked by the devil. Yes... you read that correctly.
