“Community” Is Back, Except It Might Suck Now

May - 21 - 2012 Reporter: John Hugar 1 Response

I spent the entire third season of “Community” wondering if there was going to be a fourth. Much like “Arrested Development” before it, “Community” has become the quintessential acclaimed show that has a very-dedicated-but-very-small fan base. Luckily, after 8 months of anxiously pacing my room waiting to learn my show’s fate, things worked out: “Community” [...]

Cop lies under oath, though says she arrested me for legal activities, and claims she thought our camera might have been a gun. Seriously. A gun! “The straw that broke the camel’s back was that he called us ‘assholes.’” -Arresting officer Donna Donovan “Is that illegal?” -My lawyer, Paul Fallon “No.” -Donovan

Family Guy Misses Giant Target

May - 19 - 2012 Reporter: John Hugar 2 Responses

As much as I’ve grown weary of Family Guy’s wacky-for-the-sake-of-wacky antics, and extreme tendency towards rape jokes, I still tune in every week. Why? Partially due to an obsessive need to see every episode no matter how bad it gets, but also because once in awhile the show can still be pretty damn good. Even [...]

God’s PR Squad Lies Again! Alex Jones! Stoned Angels Ordering Pizza!

May - 18 - 2012 Reporter: Josh Bunting 2 Responses

STOP THE PRESSES: Alex Jones is being stupid again, you guys! He has exposed the secret atheist agenda, and can you guess what it is? You get one guess. If your guess was a mishmash of Jonesian buzzwords like “New World Order,” “conspiracy,” “Luciferian,” and “occult,” then you win! Alex Jones does this “research,” OK? [...]

Murphy’s Law VII: Jury Selection and Shit-Water

May - 16 - 2012 Reporter: admin 8 Responses

Jury selection is like playing poker for your freedom. And before I get into all that, I should say hello to the jurors. Hello! The judge explicitly told you not to visit The BEAST, so I presume that’s exactly what most of you are going to do. It’s kind of like that time my buddy [...]

Lies, Damn Dirty Lies, and Scott Walker’s Job Numbers

May - 16 - 2012 Reporter: Ian Murphy 5 Responses

Wisconsin Governor’s Pants Burst into Flames, Thousands Missing Wisconsin’s job record is the worst in the nation. Scott Walker’s tried to obscure that fact with cheap slogans like “Wisconsin Is Open For Business” and “It’s working.”  Apparently, it’s not working well enough, so he’s graduated from bad public relations to pulling an Enron on Wisconsin’s labor statistics. [...]

Murphy’s Law VI

May - 14 - 2012 Reporter: Ian Murphy 5 Responses

BEAST Editor’s Trial Begins Wednesday, May 16th The first thing I’m going to do in jail is break a dude’s face. Just wreck it. Savage dentistry. Picasso nose. Blood fountain. According to MSNBC’s horrific weekend programming, that’s what I need to do to gain respect. And it probably won’t hurt to constantly mumble to myself about [...]

Hard Times For Baseball’s One Percent

May - 14 - 2012 Reporter: John Hugar 1 Response

As I mentioned in my haiku-themed MLB preview, baseball can often be nauseatingly predictable. We know what teams are going to win each year, and we know who’s going to suck. Admittedly, bad teams can eventually develop quality talent and become contenders, but that takes a while. Plus, they usually trade their best prospects to [...]

Green Around The Edges

Green Party “Debate” Between Jill Stein and Roseanne Barr, Reviewed I didn’t plan on watching the Green presidential debate on Saturday night but when I saw a link get tweeted to a stream of it, I figured it would at least be worth putting on in the background in case Roseanne Barr did something crazy.

The BEAST was founded in 2002 by Rolling Stone\'s Matt Taibbi, his eXile comrade Kevin McElwee and Buffalo attorney Paul Fallon, as a free biweekly newspaper. In 2007, under the leadership of its longest-serving editor, Allan Uthman, The BEAST changed to a pay/monthly format, distributed nationally, with international subscriptions. In late 2009, The BEAST ceased its print edition and is now billed as \"The World\'s Only Website\". The current editor is Ian Murphy.
