Manka Bros. Is Not Attending The Sundance Film Festival

To all the acquisition and distribution executives at Manka Highbrow, Manka Dogma, Manka Docs and the new Manka Mumblecore – due to the shitty year you all had in 2011, you will not be attending the Sundance Film Festival this year. If you desperately feel the need to attend in order to bid on a…

Jerry Yang: Manka Bros. Would Like To Offer You A Job

Good afternoon. I was just made aware by one of my assistants that Jerry Yang (founder and Chief Yahoo! of Yahoo! – whatever the fuck that means) is leaving the company. I guess the Board of Directors and the Shareholders finally got their way and…

CES After Dark

So last night I got really drunk. I’m not exactly sure how I wound up in one of Caesars’ vomitoriums face down – and I’m not sure why I wasn’t wearing pants. Lying in the stall next to me was Harvey Weinstein – out cold….

Sumner Redstone’s Holiday Party

Over the weekend, I went to Sumner Redstone’s Holiday Party at Bob’s Big Boy in Burbank. It was a pretty sad event with only a few of the invited guests bothering to show up. Sumner kept staring at the front door and mumbled over and…

Gay Moroccan Poetry Is Not Going To Save Our Publishing Business

Last night, I had dinner with Cyrus Weinstein – President of the Manka Bros. Publishing Group. He informed me that his group is in ‘super-duper danger’ (as opposed to the ‘super danger’ he told me about last year) with books and magazine sales way down year-over-year (a ‘reverse hockey stick’,…

Hollywood Is Out Of Visionaries

UPDATE: And now we can add Bob Iger to the list below. The coward couldn’t stick it out like a real mogul would. Real moguls don’t retire. ——– This morning, about 11:00, I had an epiphany. I was trying to think of someone in this…

Camel Turkish Gold – Breathe In The Turkish

Good afternoon. As the writer of a wildly popular blog (I only started it to better communicate with my employees at Manka Bros.) and the fact that I am a major figure in the media world, I receive quite a few offers to endorse products….

Manka Bros. Would Like To Offer Carol Bartz A Job

Good afternoon. I am back from my house in the Seychelles and ready to go. I trust everyone had a good July and August (with the exception of my great friend Rupert Murdoch) and I pray Manka Bros. can finish strong to help save this…

Leaving For My House In The Seychelles

Good morning. This afternoon, I will be leaving for my house in the Seychelles and probably won’t return until after Labor Day. (Quick reminder: Labor Day is not a Holiday at Manka Bros. – this was my father’s thing for some reason and I will…

In Defense of Rupert Murdoch

Rupert Murdoch doesn’t have a lot of friends these days. It seems the only defenders he has are the people he pays to write puff pieces in the newspapers he owns. As a fellow media mogul, I feel I must defend my good friend Rupert….
