BWE: Well then, this is as good a time as any to
ask you about your new documentary, "Super High Me" - which is
basically you partaking in another self-indulgent activity.
DB: Yes, it’s basically a rip-off of "Supersize
Me," but with pot instead of McDonalds. I was high all day every day
for 30 days. But to make the movie fair and balanced - Fox News style -
I abstained from smoking pot for 30 days.
BWE: Wow, that’s just like Fox News. So…what did you learn from this experiment?
DB: Not much actually. I thought going into it that
I would be sick of weed after a month of constant use. But I still like
it. Kids, don’t do drugs.
BWE: Is there anything that you would be sick of after a month of constant use?
DB: I wouldn’t want to do anything besides smoke pot for a whole month. Variety is the spice of life. That, and paprika.

Morgan Spurlock ate McDonald's for 30 days and made a movie. Now, the Marijuanalogues' Doug Benson has made a documentary about pot abstinence...and its opposite. Trailer:
Punchline did a fun thing. They asked a bunch of standups for their New Years resolutions. They posted the results today and there are more than a few bona fide humdingers. I LOL'd at Doug Benson's:
I resolve not to believe everything I read. Because I saw a dog in a
cage that had a sign on it that said, "I bite." And I was like, that is
good to know, doggie. But you should make a sign that says, "I make
signs."

In light of his elimination from Last Comic Standing, Doug Benson is featured in a new interview at BuddyTV. Here's a little:
Doug, how are you?
Pretty good. Eliminated is a little scary, strange to hear before my
name. Even though they knocked me out, I still am the sixth funniest
comedian in the world. You could’ve introduced me that way.
I’ll introduce you that way from now on, that’s a better title.
Yeah, sixth funniest.
To read the rest of the interview or to listen to audio of it, head to BuddyTV.
