Hello team,
Sadly, L33t Haxxors 4 did not win the final contest on Acceptable TV because, well, we got hacked.
The winner, a good friend of mine who is also the creator of the wildly popular “Chad Vader” series, posted on his site that his show was up for voting. Ambitious readers, noting that voting was unlimited, took that to heart and set up autoclicking programs to rig the game. We tried to fight it with our own ballot stuffing but in the last hours of voting, we lost by 2%. Ugh.
I mention L33t here because as writer and co-director of the past 3 episodes I’ve definitely started to mold the duo of Overlord and Razorwire to resemble Fawkes and Hobbes, respectively. I think they’re really starting to hit their stride and hopefully we’ll shoot a few more of these. Take another look and see if you can spot the similarities.
Also, check out the last three episodes of Mr. Sprinkles. I did the voice of Agent Pedone, who works for Homeland Security. I was surprised that the animation looked a lot like Eberts! I hadn’t even thought about that until I saw the first episode and then it hit me that this could be Eberts, post 9/11. Admittedly, a harsher, no nonsense version, but hey, it’s been quite a few years since we’ve seen him so who knows?
As far as the I-Man, well, you know the story thus far. I’d love to get the cast together for a little I-man short in the vein of the Star Trek online series that use Trek talent. It’d be a non-profit fan film, maybe something to jump start the whole process of a feature. I dunno, if you all support this, maybe you should post comments and let me know.
Having said that, I support Amanda’s quest to bring us all back to the big screen some how. She’s tireless and fearless, both of which are crucial in the battle against Hollywood. I know she’ll succeed someday, when is the million dollar question.
Thanks,
Mike

Don’t blame me for the bad grammar in the title of this post. I didn’t make it up. I just borrowed it from the title of Mike McCafferty and Jason Makiaris’ latest Acceptable TV entry called, you guessed it, An Historical Moment.
Once again the guys need our help to get their show on the air. I’ll let Jason tell you what you need to do in his email below.

We love this silly little show, and hope you’ll vote for it.

I just got home from work and to my delight found the following email from Mike McCafferty in my inbox. I’m passing it on to all of you. Hope you can watch!
Hello all.
So tonight at 10pm on VH1, catch “Acceptable TV”. It’s a sketch show meets “American Idol” series where the top two sketches each week return for a new episode the following week.
I’ll be voicing the character of Agent Pedone in this week’s animated “Mr. Sprinkles” sketch. Already on it’s 6th episode, Mr. Sprinkles is a deranged “Cat in the Hat” character who ends up accidentally killing those he tries to entertain during rainy days. Sentenced to prison, Mr.
Sprinkles learns the harsh truths of an adult world.
Sounds hilarious, huh?!!
If you miss it for any reason, it’ll be available starting tonight on http://acceptable.tv/. This character will be around probably until the end of the season, but this is my first animated work so I’m a little excited (I’ll spare you the obvious pun).
As a bonus, you may also see “l33t Haxxors: Episode 3″ on the show. This is a show I co-wrote and directed and if it got enough votes last week, we’ll see it tonight. The series already has over 200,000 online views, which is a good thing. Check out the series at www.l33thaxxors.com.
Many thanks,
Mike
