Yeah, looks like they haven't changed that page since the Video Music Awards deal with Eminem over 9 months ago.

I want to know when TV Funhouse is coming out on DVD. Did you guys get that down there? Robert Smeigel, same guy who does Triumph. Demented kids' show, basically. Animal puppets humping real animals, evil cartoon parodies, alcoholism and drug abuse, your basic good time.

We do indeed get TV Funhouse on cable in Oz. It's fantastic, but it looks like they only made one series. I managed to snag Triumph at The Westminster Dog Show and burnt it to DVD for posterity - courtesy of Conan O'Brien.

Great TV - for me to poop on.

The intro was a bunch of kids running around singing, "Porn for kids! Porn for kids!" That aired once, and when the repeat aired that weekend, the intro was gone and the title had magically changed to "Porn for Everyone." That Smeigel...
