Eugene Mirman Takes Out Ad in Local Newspaper to Publish an Open Letter About Nonsensical Parking Ticket

(via The Laughing Button)

Bureaucrats beware of Eugene Mirman, a comedian and a man who stands by his principles.

While enjoying an afternoon in Portsmouth, NH, Eugene Mirman found that he got a $15 parking ticket for parking in the wrong direction. Mind you, it wasn’t the wrong direction on the wrong side of the street, but a ticket for parking the wrong direction in a parking space as shown in this picture.

Rather than either paying it ASAP or willfully ignoring the ticket like most of us, Mirman decided to buy ad space in the local newspaper and publish this great open letter to the city of Portsmouth about his grievances over such the ridiculous parking citation he got.

We have yet to hear from the city of Portsmouth, but let’s hope they come up with something as sarcastic as POM Wonderful’s letter to John Oliver.

This album recording was supposed to happen almost a year ago, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, the recordings had to be pushed to this month on Monday Apr. 20th and Apr. 27th.

Still, we’re happy that an album capturing one of the best and longest running weekly comedy shows in the country, Hot Tub with Kurt & Kristen, is happening all the same.

Two tapings, presented by our good friends at CleftClips, will feature, of course, the amazing duo of Kurt Braunohler and Kristen Schaal as well as Kyle Kinane, Karen Kilgariff, Eugene Mirman, Heather Lawless, Aparna Nancherla, Eddie Pepitone, Emily Heller, Beth Stelling, Andrés du Bouchet, and John Roberts all at Hot Tub’s LA home, The Virgil.

Pretty swell, huh?

Kill Rock Stars just keeps adding to their already great comedy discography, which includes comedy albums from Hari Kondabolu, Cameron Esposito, and Kurt Braunohler.

Tickets will go on sale later this week. We’ll be sure to tell you exactly when that happens so you have a chance to not miss out on being part of Hot Tub history.

Eugene Mirman and H. Jon Benjamin and Chet Clem Want to Sell You Artisanal Mystery Sacks Through Their Flotsam General Store

Adjectives such as artisanal, handmade, small batch, and more are words that many consumers these days look for on their products, no matter what they are.

With that in mind, comedy folks Eugene Mirman and H. Jon Benjamin and Chet Clem have created a line of artisanal, handmade, small batch mystery sacks that promise to contain “…hand-chosen items that are hand-hewn by machines in America…” to be sold at the Flotsam General Store.

One can only imagine what you would get in a mystery sack of varying sizes (depending on how much money you want shell out for this) from someone like Mirman who does Brooklyn themed paintings. We’re absolutely sure this will go nicely with any Dumb Starbucks merchandise that you could possibly have.

For our money, the best selling point of Flotsam is their return/exchange policy, which reads, “Ha, ha,ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haha, ha”

Morning Debriefing 7/17/11

1) Why can’t we have something like the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival here in LA? This sounds pretty fantastic and maybe you should donate to the cause…

2) Real Life: My Girlfriend’s A Bitch with Iliza Shlesinger.

3) Punchline Magazine became Laughspin.com and now there’s a whole page of stuff we contribute.

4) So Kristen Wiig is the voice of Babs in this slightly disturbing reboot of Looney Tunes on Cartoon Network and will produce and star in a suicide themed comedy that focuses on a woman who fakes suicide to gain the attention of an ex-boyfriend. We like this dark comedy streak by Wiig and hope it continues.

5) Remember when David Lynch used to do the daily weather? We’re surprised Lynch didn’t go the route of Rick Shapiro and his frequently posted and out of order Morning Meditations from Our Lady of No Thought Depot.

6) One of the more important things to note about GQ’s current “comedy” issue out on magazine racks now is that no one would know if it’s an issue about comedy if GQ didn’t tell anybody.

7) ON THE HORIZON
Jamie Kilstein-One Night Only @ Steve Allen Theater Mon. July 18th 8PM $10
The 2 & 45 @ All Star Lanes Mon. July 18th 8PM FREE

MARTY’S/THE OPEN MIC 7351 W. Sunset Blvd., Hollywood, CA (walk up Martel past Big Mama’s and Papa’s)/5PM to 11PM/$5/multiple sets allowed/bottled water and coffee available

10) As reporting of Carmeggedon continues, people are calling the 405 the main freeway in LA. That’s bullshit. The 10 gets no respect? If you want a real Carmeggedon shut down the 10 freeway between the 405 and the 110. (I obviously drive too much and think about these things)
