Who didn't see this one comming?

I'm just surprised it took this long. The minute he was hanging out with Michael Jackson you knew this wasn't going to be a pretty story. More like a weird one for the biography channel.

I think the most shocking thing about that story is that Macaulay Culkin actually has a publicist.

I'm not sure what was funnier - the publicist comment (a real joke) or the ZING! mocking that joke.

Or the fact that all four Boylan siblings have posted in one afternoon.

I believe the "ZING" in question was complimenting the wittiness of the remark, rather than mocking it. But I could be wrong.

I thought it was funny, and the ZING! complimented it, but also mocked the entire concept of the ZING! as well. It was a double ZING!

I particularly liked it because my paycheck largely rests on my ability to ZING! - Well, that and rant a lot. In fact, I think the next morning show I get fired from will be called Rants and ZINGS!

Most naturally funny people, and I include you guys in this category, hate the ZING!er when seen in writing because they are funny when created off the top of one's head, but horrific when they are written by the Bruce Vilanches of the world and read in a staged setting off a teleprompter - and seeing it in writing reminds me of this (maybe it's because I'm watching the Emmys).

Brendan, I give you a pass on this, because I know you didn't get it from a joke book, and I laughed pretty hard when I read it.
