It’s nice to know some people have money to waste in this recession with things like this.

ROFFLES
… or why the Annies are a joke.
Here’s the list of this year’s Annie Award winners.
I love how unashamedly Dreamworks is listed as a “Gold Sponsor” right next to the studio’s clean sweep of the ceremony. Guess Katzenberg stuffed those ballots with cold, hard cash huh?
Christ-on-a-stick, no wonder nobody takes this industry seriously. Even the Academy isn’t that brazen of the fact they can be bought off.

Your Saturday Bowl of WTF: Polly Wants a Doctor
Welcome to another edition of Your Saturday Bowl of WTF! Tonight’s main course is yet another gem from the Columbia studio’s 1940s library, Polly Wants a Doctor. Watch as the [Nazi sympathizer] Polly engorges himself on scrap metal prepared by an overly-pleased-with-himself goat (possibly Pervis’s gay cousin). As proven by earlier entries, it looks as though the staff at Columbia were having real fun with coming up with these oddities while forgetting that it was their job to entertain the audience. I still love ’em though. Things like Polly’s dance crack me up, because it looks so stupid, it’s funny. This cartoon was written by Dun Roman, who also directed the WTF masterpiece The Herring Murder Mystery at Columbia around the same time (later writing for Jay Ward’s shows).
