We can't wait for these!
Stephen Colbert has JUST received approval from the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for a "Colbert Super PAC," which will give him permission to "produce and air political advertisements." AWE-SOME.
It gets even better though! Stephen has also gotten permission to use Comedy Central parent company Viacom's production resources/airtime/staff without his ads being [...]
Here's the deal:
Like many of the shows currently on HBO, Showtime and Starz, Game of Thrones is based off a book series written by George R.R. Martin. In two weeks, Georgie's going to release the fifth novel of the six book series and its been a long time coming - six years, to be exact. Fans have been eagerly wanting to get their hands on this story and at the moment, there are more than a few embargoed copies of "A Dance With Dragons" floating around.
With such hype surround the book and series, the publishers are imploring those in possession of the book to hold off on releasing any spoilers until after the book is released. They've even gone as far as to published a public plea on their website, imploring the books secrets be kept as such and asking fans not to see out the spoilers that could be flying around. The website says:
"And so, Voyager is asking you – if you can bear it – to avoid your favourite GRRM-related sites (except for George’s official site, and the Voyager site of course, where we will be screening comments as always) to ensure that the latest installment of this epic story is not spoiled for you. You’ve got a remarkable journey ahead of you, and some stunning surprises, and nothing should come between you and that experience. The embargo is now being thoroughly enforced by all accounts and customers around the world to ensure that no more copies are sold early."
Ah! But there is the rub! Can they bear it??? They're already all wincing over the fact they have to wait like FOREVER for season two of the show. These next two weeks might end up being damn near deadly if they don't get their hands on the deets!
Think U might manage to stay off the forums for two more weeks? Or, do you need to know NOW???
