Yo, City Paper: You just blew a really funny idea with this whole City Paper mad libs thing, but you gave us an idea. But first, let’s analyze. Ok, so why is this so unfunny? It had all kinds of promise: as good premise (everybody loves mad libs), a decent base (mad libbing a story about Zipperhead should be money in the bank), and even a funny little graphic presentation. But this thing is so dry, it reads almost like a regular news item. Doofuses. So with that in mind, we’re gonna show you how it’s done. Do the Philebrity Mad Lib (after the jump) and send it to us at tips@philebrity.com; the winner gets a copy of the new MIA disc, an autographed poster, and “Galang” on 12″ vinyl. (BTW: You can stream that steez here if you like.) Sound good? Ok, without further ado…

Subject: Hello Mr Philebrity

Why do you care about my _________________?

Not sure who you are, but let me fill you _________________.

I do not give a fuck about the Philadelphia _________________.

I do not care about your _________________ at all.

I just find it really funny that you make me out to be a _________________. Who is _________________?

We are overwhelmed with excitement and joy to never be _________________ again. _________________ is crying. We were just letting the few _________________ that may care know that they have one more shot to come and _________________ in Philadelphia.

Sorry you are to cool for trying to have fun with a venue. I guess the 80ís Punk Prom type thing is way to _________________ for you indie snobs. Yeah no shit World cafe Live is a _________________ but does that mean it has to stay that way? They came to us with a oppurtunity to try something new and we said _________________.

I guess that makes us stupid. Sorry we all canít suck dick at after partys for _________________.

That SaidÖ

We love the people who come out to our shows and _________________ but we do not love the way shit goes down in this city with _________________. So we are out, that is it.

I still have no idea why anyone _________________ about this???

Get a _________________.

Thanks

Good luck, kids! May the best mad lib win!
