Patrick Did anyone else think they were pretty boring spots? I made it through two before finding something more interesting to do.-
rusty weathers Too much forced kookiness if you ask me. -
RedsArmy Gotta agree there Patrick. These are the opposite of brilliant.-
missgossip Naw, I think they're brilliant, but in a weird "wtf??" way.

... , which has some fucking hilarious bits ( YouTubed also by the Ham Fam ). The only question is, — since Darvin pointed it out, it could’ve been tighter with writers that aren’t on strike — why didn’t Gil ask me to write some of these? I WOULD HAVE DONE IT FOR FREE! And by free, I mean $16 million dollars! Helping TheHype’s domain fees out: ...
GilTV is Launched: Everybody Wants to Be Gil
D.C. Sports Bog —
GilTV is Launched: Everybody Wants to Be Gil D.C. Pro Sports Report got the videos first , but then they were taken down. Wizznutzz then busted this party wide open . Just know this: GilTV is out on Wednesday, and it's mind-altering. Like, he spends most of his time talking to a giant lobster. I wanted to ask Gil whether his primary Surrealist influence was Arp or Breton or Magritte, but he wasn't talking. "Blog tomorrow," he said, tomorrow being Wednesday. "Gilbert, good to see you," said Ted Leonsis, approaching. "That was a nice game, huh? You guys are ...
Gil + Talking Lobster = !!!

Agent Zero, still awesome
100% Injury Rate —
I'd like to thank both The WizzNutzz and the Fanhouse for getting this new Agent Zero mini-film up (You can see 3 others at WizzNutzz, but I think this is the best one). There's really no way to describe this ad. It's like Castaway meets Gilligan's Island meets the worst acid trip you've ever been on. Bravo Agent Zero. Keep 'em coming. -WCK

GilTV Videos for the Gil2Zeros
My Swog is Phenomenal —
Here are some super fantastic awesome videos from Gil advertising his new shoes (check out GilTV). Got these from Wizznutzz: Black President: Hibachi: Cooking with Gil Shrimp or Lobster? The best one, in my opinion, as Gil takes on a Lobster 1 on 1 is... Gil Island, Cuba Shoe:
Arenas, Gilberto, and A Talking Lobster
AwfulAnnouncing —
... the oddest and most confusing commercial I've ever seen. I think it's a commercial for Gilbert's new line of Adidas shoes, but no one can be sure. And guess what? The commercials don't stop there! Gil for President? Check, Gil cooking? Of course. And Gil as a secret agent man? Most definitely. Head to the Wizznutzz for the rest. I could watch them all day, and I have no idea what's going on. When Did Mario Van Peebles Start Filming My Dreams??? (The Wizznutzz)

Clinton Portis's Extensive Taylor Remarks
D.C. Sports Bog —
Clinton Portis's Extensive Taylor Remarks A bunch of Redskins were all smiley and laughy today. That's nice. And I just had a long interview with one of the creative minds behind the Gilbert Talking Lobster commercials , which was also nice. I must have asked him at least 400 questions about the lobster. And zero about death. Anyhow, here's what I'm hoping is my last Taylor item for a bit. This Clinton Portis interview came on Tuesday afternoon on John Thompson's WTEM show, and it was incredible. I'm not sure how much of this has appeared online or in print in The Post, but I ...
Top 11 D.C. Sports Moments of 2007
D.C. Sports Bog —
... here. "Everybody get drunk and make bad decisions." I mean, advice like that can never be offered too frequently. Provided you're not driving. And the bad decisions are those of a non-deadly nature. And "drunk" is as in "drunk on life." More generally, this will be 2007's touchstone moment of Gilbert's continued development into the premiere Internet-sports-entertainment figure in America, with the possible exception of Colin Cowherd. Think also of Gazo the Pranksta , and GilTV , and the Halo controversy , and all the rest. 5. Gilbert gets hurt . ...
