khan_manka_comic_con_2010.jpgGood morning from the Profits and Participations Department!  What a whirlwind few days it's been for me. 

As many of you know, I accompanied our Chairman Khan Manka Jr. and his team to Comic-Con this weekend, my task was to reign in the expenses, per Mr. Manka

Last year, several junior execs went a little nuts and purchased thousands of dollars worth of "Battlefield Earth" memorabilia using their Manka Bros. Corporate AMEX cards

We were unable to recoup those losses on ebay, as the Church of Scientology threatened to sue us if we resold the items. 

Gone also were the lavish MC Comics soirees, the Sniper Ken suite and the free Captain Stoppo Jager shots offered "every hour on the hour".

On Sunday night I received a frantic call from Todd in the Contracts Dept.  It seems Manka Bros. signed Lindsay Lohan a few months back to star in our upcoming remake of Madonna's erotic thriller "Body of Evidence", co-starring the suddenly hot again Ralph Macchio

Turns out Mr. Macchio only has a small window of time in his sked to shoot the pic, otherwise we lose him for a year.  So he wondered if I might represent Manka Bros. at the Lynwood lock-up where Lohan is confined and lobby the powers that be for her early release, citing the financial hardship it would cause our studio if she served her full sentence. 

Always ready to lend a helping hand, I happily shed my Skeletor costume and headed north.
 
lindsay_lohan.jpg It is now Wednesday morning and I am blogging from the grounds of the Lynwood jailhouse where there is more otherworldly activity than at Comic-Con.  All manner of papanazzi; young cross-dressers in "Mean Girls" costumes; Parent Von Trap kids; Lohan's father; Corey Feldman and his wife; the clergy

It's madness. 

The guy who cried on the internet for us all to leave Britney alone is here, tied to a tree.  He's weeping and screaming.  For some reason the Mets fan who used to hold up signs at Shea Stadium is here, holding up those same signs. 
 
I have let the warden know I'm here and I won't be leaving until I state Manka Bros.' case.  Yes, it's a vigil my friends.  I've spent three nights here already and I'm willing to spend as many as it takes.  My co-worker, the lovely Tomoko, is attempting to get Lohan's judge on the phone.  We're working every angle.
 
Gotta stop blogging for now, laptop battery dying, plus we hear Lindsay has yard time in 5 minutes and we're gonna line up along the fence. 

Great news!  Just got a call from the head of our Seven C's music division.  Irish balladeer Seamus is going to come down later and sing a few protest songs.  The Mean Girls swooned when I told them.  More soon...
