All right Eugene, this one is
all yours. We guess Throbbits
read EW? The Donkey Show,
hosted by Drew and “Buster
Ass” Marcus and backed by
a motley crew of characters,
took back first place after a
year hiatus. It’s not quite our
cup of tea; I guess it’s hard to
get behind hating on the
homeless and sound bites like
“I want to kick you in the
liver and ovary” (even if it is
set to Savage Garden’s
“Truly Madly Deeply”).
