Special K

Has anyone ever wondered what regular K tastes like? I bet it's really good. Not that we'll ever know, since Kellogg has decided to cover up it's existence and replaced it with something they proclaim to be "special." What I want to know, is what kind of special do they mean? Is it lets-ride-the-short-bus, finger-painting-through-high-school, I-still-poop-myself-at-15 special? Or is it I'm-super-talented, everyone-loves-me, I-have-so-freaking-much-to-offer-the-world special? Either way I think we are being duped into eating a cereal that tastes like crap.

If it's the first kind of special, and I think it is, then what does that mean? Did they name it that because they think people are that stupid for buying it? Is it meant to imply that the ingestor is mentally challenged? I think they should just drop the political correctness and call it retarded K. Lets face it, they do kinda look like the "special" younger brothers of corn flakes. This way there will be no confusion when consuming the product. I mean, how will little Billy feel later in life when he finds out that the cereal he got so excited about to get as a kid because he thought it made him extraordinary was only bought for him because it was ironic and his parents got a huge kick out of it? He will probably feel exactly what he is - retarded. And also sad.

But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe special K is supposed to make you extraordinary. Well it doesn't work. I know a lot of people who eat it and they aren't so great. They aren't dumb or anything, just regularordinary. I guess that's what happens when you create a magical cereal that makes people special. Everyone becomes so special that special becomes bland, just like the taste of special K. It's a lose-lose-win-tie-lose situation, and nobody can understand what that means. Needfull to say, I'd rather have raisin bran any day of the week. And twice on Sunday.

Guy Humor

The following is an excerpt from The Adventures of Anthony, concerning one of LATE's most intrinsic features: humor.


hu-mor
(n.)
1. The quality that makes something laughable or amusing; funniness
2. That which is intended to induce laughter or amusement
3. The ability to perceive, enjoy, or express what is amusing, comical, incongruous, or absurd.

But there is a term used just as frequently that is less definable, yet you know exactly what it means. This being the phrase "guy humor".

Right away you have a vague idea of what this describes. Guy humor is basically known to be crude, dirty, physical in nature, and often at the expense of others. When you think of guy humor you think of burps, farts, the slapstick of The Three Stooges, practical jokes, and painful blows to the groinal region.

So then, I ask you: if this is guy humor ... what is girl humor???

Those Crazy Psychopomps

Did you know that many sets of religious beliefs have a particular spirit, deity, demon, or angel whose responsibility is to escort newly-deceased souls to the afterlife? These creatures are called psychopomps, from the Greek word ψυχοπομπóς (psuchopompos), literally meaning the "guide of souls".


Now that you know this, you're probably thinking to yourself, "Gee, I wish there was some sort of short, animated, student film that features a pyschopomp in a humorous situation that will both brighten my day and help me understand the deep mysteries of life." But wait!! There is!! Be sure to check out LATE Entertainment's Dinner With Death! You'll laugh! You'll cry! You're life will never be the same!

This 100% true and logical hypothesis I present is unmistakably accurate and undeniably compelling. Please, for the sake of LATE and all entertainment out there ... read the truth and believe ... and then ... GROW A BEARD. I'm begging you.

Yes, even you girls.
