VH1 Presents I Love 9/11 Memorial

In the upcoming I Love 9/11, the nation's darkest day will be compared to the New Coke debacle.

VH1, the network that used cater to your 45 year-old divorced aunt and that now caters to your probably gay 32 year-old uncle, specializes in looking at our recent past in the hopes of making us laugh on the inside(but never on the outside). Nostalgia can take on many forms. One of those forms is grief. Another one of those forms is smug analysis.

With that thought in mind, VH1 presents a new show, I Love 9/11, where various relevant "comedians," like Hal Sparks and that guy from the B-52's, lovingly poke fun at our collective memories of a not-so-distant tragedy. I was actually able to dig up some transcripts from the show which will air commememorating the 7 1/2th anniversary of the terrorist attack.

Michael Ian Black: Remember when that third building fell? What a copy-cat! Am I right?! It was all like, "Oh, all the cool kids are doing it. Maybe I'll topple too!"

Luis Guzman: What book was the president reading that was so interesting? It was probably like Hop on Pop. That book is hysterical.

Kevin McDonald: Did the collapse remind anyone else of losing at Jenga? Jenga, get it?! Right?!

This show is gonna be great.
