CBS Shelves Plans to Air Super Bowl XLIV

SOUTH FLORIDA (THE PLACE REGULAR PEOPLE CALL "MIAMI") -- In a surprise announcement today, the CBS television network revealed its plan to switch up their Super Bowl Sunday programming to appeal to an older, hipless (oops, that should read "less hip" -- Ed.), more geriatrically inclined demographic.

"The bottom line is that we've already seen 43 Super Bowls and need something fresh," said CBS President and CEO Les Moonves. "However, CBS does not plan to abandon its sports demographic and remains dedicated to providing quality sports programming. That's why we'll be airing a 'Two and a Half Men' marathon -- 26.2 minutes of laughs!"

Moonves said the move came as a result of some interesting data produced by CBS's research department.

"Our market research suggests that our audience wants more Preparation H and Flomax ads and fewer Bud Light and Godaddy.com ads featuring monkeys and boobs," he said.

"We'll keep The Who performance, though," he added.

Other sports programs CBS plans to showcase include "The Amazing Race Race" and a "CSI:Miami" episode that shows the Super Bowl stadium in a background shot behind David Caruso's literally and figuratively enormous orange be-sunglass-spectacled head and a 30-minute episode of "60 Minutes."

MICHAEL PHELPS SMOKES SUPER BOWL

Posted: During the munchies.

TAMPA BAY -- In another display of Olympic-sized stupidity, Michael Phelps was discovered smoking pot -- again. Only this time, he smoked the Super Bowl.

Phelps was found sucking moist, fragrant, pot-filled smoke through a tube connected to an outside wall of the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay Sunday night.

When asked for comment, Phelps said, "I haven't been this high since I smoked the warm down pool in Beijing. Woa."
