Possibly, Amanda is doing the same thing. It doesn't appear that she has any adult-level performance chops, so it may be sensible for her to try to milk her celebrity as long as she can. I hope, for her sake, that she's got a solid investment strategy, because the tail of her former target demo is rapidly reaching an age where they aren't going to care any more.

I am definitely on board with "gohmertz", which I suggest be abbreviated "gz". And, of course it's theoretically possible to exceed 100 gz.

The tricky question is, can LOUIE possibly exceed 100 gz?

Ok i knew this is old,but i read this and then wikipediaed her. This all started like, a couple of weeks after the tweets in the story. Warning: this is super sad you guys:

On July 22, 2013, Ventura County sheriff's deputies detained Bynes in front of a stranger's house in Thousand Oaks, California, where she had allegedly started a small fire in the driveway, and had her hospitalized under a 72-hour mental-health evaluation hold. Bynes' parents filed for conservatorship of their daughter shortly after her hospitalization began. On August 9, Bynes' mother was granted a temporary conservatorship over Bynes' affairs, including her medical care, as well as control over her finances, after the judge agreed that Bynes had a "lack of capacity to give informed consent to medical care." On September 30, Bynes was transferred from UCLA Medical Center to receive "specialized treatment in a private facility outside of Los Angeles."In December 2013, Bynes was released from treatment to her parents. Bynes was arrested on September 28, 2014, for her second DUI. On October 10, 2014, Bynes was hospitalized in Pasadena, California, and placed on a temporary psychiatric hold after she made accusations via Twitter that her father sexually abused her as a child; shortly after she tweeted that her father had not molested her, but she claimed he implanted a microchip in her brain that forced her to make the accusation. Her psychiatric hold was later extended. On October 22, Bynes' mother received conservatorship of her daughter once again; on October 30, Bynes left the psychiatric facility early

At first I missed the last 3 words of the headline. It was more interesting then.

I just read a moment ago in catching up with who-the-fuck-is-this, that she was rumored to be dating Seth MacFarlane.

So, I think, obvs she <i>was</i> born with a vestigial penis, and had it removed, then started missing it, and this is why she's dating him.

I have vague memories of it. I think you're undervaluing the the "for pre-teens" modifier. It had its moments, among lots of stupid stuff that is funny to nine-year-olds.

The actual <i>funny</i> shows were animated, e.g., Pinky and the Brain.
