There's been bootleg complilations set along a theme before. Many times they adhere to a musical style like rock, or dance, or they pick a holiday to honor. All are valid formats, & have pleased many. One area not mined implicitly, though, is the seldom traveled world of humourous bootlegs. Well, now this concept has been approached with strong results. IT IS TO LAFF is 28 tracks of mixing madness from 19 international bootleggers.
In this collection you'll hear Monty Python meet Jimi Hendrix. Public Enemy does the Chicken Dance right before your ears! You'll be amazed when you hear Nirvana singing "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh"! The Simpsons, South Park, the Teletubbies, & many other funny cultural icons make an appearance, even Missy Elliot!
Despite the new fake names for the first week of release, all the featured mixers are well-known in mashup circles. They turned their attention to making us bust up in laughter this time, instead of the clubbing goodness they mostly deliver. You won't recognize them right away since to a person they also adopted funny fake DJ names to go along with the hilarious music. Take a glimpse at this playlist.

Scott Burns: "Consumers: Some Light in a Long Tunnel" (AssetBuilder)
As we all read a few weeks ago, household net worth has been set back 20 years. But scant attention is being paid to some good news from the consumer economy. We're pushing debt back, way back. This is a big deal. The consumer economy accounts for 70 percent of all economic activity.
Roger Ebert's Journal: "Quvenzhané. A small force of nature"
She is the small, determined center of Benh Zeitlin's "Beasts of the Southern Wild," which opens July 6 and seems destined for a Best Picture nomination from the Academy. Quvenzhané Wallis was six when she filmed the role. She and all of the other actors were non-professionals. Incredible.
Roger Ebert: "Andrew Sarris, 1928-2012: In Memoriam"
In December of 1967, my first year as a film critic, I read every word of Sarris's Interviews with Film Directors, which singled out those he found noteworthy. I underlined Sarris's observation: "Even art films have to make money and even commercial films have to make some statement. To put it another way, more and more critics are demanding that there should be more fun in art, and more art in fun.... In the process... it has become possible to speak of Alfred Hitchcock and Michelangelo Antonioni in the same breath and with the same critical terminology."
Roger Ebert: Review of "The Pledge" (A Great Movie; from 2001)
Sean Penn's "The Pledge" begins when it seems his protagonist's career is ending. Jack Nicholson plays Jerry Black, a Nevada police detective whose retirement party is interrupted by news of the brutal murder of a young girl. Across the noisy room he senses a shift in tone, and joins a conversation between his chief and the man who will be taking over his job. Then he goes along to the murder scene, perhaps out of habit or because he hasn't officially retired. The little girl in a red coat is a pitiful sight with her blood staining the snow.

Pierre Boulle was a French novelist best known for two works that were both made into award-winning films. One was "The Bridge over the River Kwai". What was the other?
John Elroy Sanford (December 9, 1922 - October 11, 1991), better known by his stage name Redd Foxx, was an American comedian and actor, best known for his starring role on the sitcom Sanford and Son.
Foxx was born in St. Louis, Missouri and raised there and on Chicago's South Side. His mother was half Seminole Indian. His father, an electrician, left his family when Foxx was four years old. Foxx was raised by his mother, his minister, and his grandmother.
In the 1940s, he was an associate of Malcolm Little, later known as Malcolm X. In Malcolm's autobiography, Foxx is referred to as "Chicago Red, the funniest dishwasher on this earth." Foxx earned the nickname due to his reddish hair and complexion. His stage surname was taken from baseball star Jimmie Foxx.

A sports charity says boxing great Muhammad Ali will attend a London gala benefit in his honor two days before the Summer Olympics.
Sports for Peace says the July 25 event will honor Ali's humanitarian work and status as a "role model on civil rights, humanity and in opposing war."
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are expected to attend the A-list dinner at the Victoria & Albert Museum, which will raise money for the educational Muhammad Ali Center and for research into Parkinson's disease. Ali, 70, has battled the degenerative brain condition for almost 30 years.
Ali won gold at the 1960 Rome Olympics when he was known as Cassius Clay.

Every dog has its day - and Monday belonged to Uggie.
The canine star of the Oscar-winning film "The Artist" became the first dog to put its paw prints in cement outside the famous Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.
The rambunctious Jack Russell terrier was celebrated at a treat-laden ceremony outside the landmark as Councilman Tom LaBonge declared it "Uggie Day" in Los Angeles.
The event also marked Uggie's retirement from show business. Van Muller said Uggie, whose other film credits include "Mr. Fix It" and "Water for Elephants," would no longer star in films but would appear at charity events and other functions.
He was later joined by pooch pals Lassie and Rin Tin Tin and "Artist" actor Ken Davitian.
When German artist Heinz Schulz-Neudamm created a poster for the Fritz Lang's 1927 German science-fiction dystopian "Metropolis," he probably didn't imagine it would fetch a record $690,000 nearly a century later.
The poster's selling price in 2005 is still a record. And it's slated to set a new one.
Earlier this year the illustration, with its jagged lettering, stoic skyscrapers and blank-faced femme-robot has been appraised at $250,000 in a bankruptcy filing by owner Kenneth Schacter, a collector.
But in March, it went up for sale with an $850,000 list price, and some appraisers estimate it could be the first poster to sell for $1 million.

The most successful artist in Emmys history is camera operator Hector Ramirez. Over a career spanning four decades, he has filmed Richard Nixon in tears, a prepubescent Justin Timberlake and MTV's very first Video Music Awards. Along the way, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has rewarded Ramirez with 64 nominations and 17 wins. (HBO's Sheila Nevins has won more Emmys, 22, but nobody has more nominations.)
His first nomination came in 1978 for "CBS: On the Air"; last year he added four more to his total with nods for the Grammys, the Academy Awards, the Kennedy Center Honors and "Dancing With the Stars." With another round no doubt on the horizon, TheWrap talked with the 67-year-old about the Grammys, Watergate and the Pope.
Q: You got your foot in the door at CBS in the 1970s. Was there one show that launched you?
A: "In 1972-73 I was one of the camera guys for 'All in the Family' and made an impression on Norman Lear. I did 'Good Times,' 'Maude' - all his shows in the 1980s that were so popular. Because of that I went into doing things like Sonny and Cher, Carol Burnett, Baryshnikov on Broadway and Paul Simon's Concert in the Park."
Rupert Murdoch's News Corp is considering splitting into two to separate its publishing assets from its more lucrativeentertainment business, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
Shareholders have been pushing for some time for a spin-off of the slower-growth publishing division after a phone hacking scandal hit its British newspapers, sending shockwaves through the group and forcing News Corp to pull its biggest-ever acquisition of the pay-TV group BSkyB.
Murdoch had earlier opposed the move and as recently as May released a statement saying the group was not considering spinning off its British newspapers to protect the rest of the empire. But the Journal reported that he has recently warmed to the idea, citing one person familiar with the situation.
The publishing division includes the HarperCollins book publisher, the education arm and newspapers including The Wall Street Journal, the Times of London, the Sun, the New York Post and The Australian.
The remaining film and television businesses would include 20th Century Fox film studio, Fox broadcast network and Fox News Propaganda channel. The entertainment business would dwarf the publishing unit, with assets in the entertainment division generating revenues of $23.5 billion in the year to June 2011, compared with $8.8 billion for the publishing business.
Universal Television must have been left smarting a bit over the USA series "Royal Pains" on Tuesday morning.
Hayden Christensen's production company, Forest Park Pictures, scored a partial victory in its lawsuit over "Royal Pains" on Tuesday, as an appeals court vacated an earlier decision granting Universal's motion to dismiss the lawsuit.
In its complaint, filed in 2010, Forest Park maintained that it had pitched USA an idea for a series titled "Housecall" in 2005 that bore striking similarities to what would become the USA series "Royal Pains," without receiving compensation for the idea.
Universal countered with a motion to dismiss, claiming that Forest Park's breach of contract complaint is preempted by the Copyright Act, which was granted by a district court. However, on Tuesday U.S. District Court of Appeals for the second circuit in New York vacated the earlier court's decision, finding that Forest Park "adequately alleged a contact that includes an implied promise to pay. Because this claim is based on rights that are not the equivalent of those protected by the Copyright Act, claim is not preempted."
Sylvester Stallone has knocked out a lawsuit by an author who accused the actor of copying his screenplay to make his popular 2010 movie "The Expendables."
U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in Manhattan on Monday dismissed the lawsuit filed last October by Marcus Webb, who had called the movie's screenplay "strikingly similar and in some places identical" to his own work, "The Cordoba Caper."
Rakoff said he will explain the reasoning behind his decision "in due course."
Webb had sought damages for alleged copyright infringement, and a ban on infringement in any sequel by Stallone; co-author David Callaham; Nu Image Films, which produced the movie; and Lions Gate Entertainment Corp, which distributed the movie in the United States.

Wolfgang von Schwarzenfeld's sculptures in a Berlin park were meant to promote world peace, but the 79-year-old German now finds himself at war with a Venezuelan tribe which accuses him of stealing a sacred pink stone known to them as "Grandmother".
The Venezuelan government is championing the Pemon Indians of the "Gran Sabana" region by demanding the return of the polished stone from Berlin's Tiergarten park - putting the German government in something of a dilemma.
With Caracas calling it robbery, and the sculptor arguing that the stone was a legal gift, the monolith is emitting more negative energy than its esoteric fans in Berlin are used to.
Von Schwarzenfeld, a frail figure with whispy white hair and scuffed brown shoes, waved a sheaf of documents authorizing the removal of the stone from the Canaima National Park in 1998.
The Madison Square Garden Company said Tuesday that it purchased the Forum in Inglewood, California for $23.5 million.
The stadium was the former home of the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Kings, but is currently owned by the Faithful Central Bible Church.
The Lakers and the Kings left the stadium in 1999 and relocated to the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. In its heyday, the Forum hosted rock acts like Led Zepplin, The Jackson 5, Barbra Streisand, Jethro Tull and Elvis Presley.
The Madison Square Garden Company said it plans to renovate the site and that the overhaul will begin later this year. It wants to transform the facility into a venue for concerts once again.
One of abstract expressionist Jackson Pollock's most important works is traveling this summer from Iowa to Los Angeles, where experts at the Getty Center hope to restore it to pristine condition.
Pollock's oil-on-canvas "Mural" is slightly more than 8 feet high and nearly 20 feet long.
He painted it in 1943 as a commission for wealthy art collector Peggy Guggenheim. She donated it to the University of Iowa in 1951.
Over the years, its canvas has stretched and it has become darkened by grime and an aging varnish.
Getty conservation experts are overhauling it in exchange for being allowed to exhibit it at the Getty Center museum for three months.
Oscar-nominated screenwriter Nora Ephron, known for romantic comedies "When Harry Met Sally" and "Sleepless in Seattle," has died in New York at age 71 after battling leukemia, according to media reports on Tuesday.
The New York Times cited her son, Jacob Bernstein, as saying Ephron died of pneumonia brought about by acute myeloid leukemia. Bernstein is a freelance reporter for the Times.
Ephron, also known for the screenplay "Julie & Julia," which she also directed, had not publicly addressed suffering from any illness in recent months.
During a long career, Ephron has written for newspapers and magazines. She published books and essays, but is perhaps best known for her work in movies.
