As you’ve no doubt already been told by your desktop widget and/or angry landlord, today is the 5th of the month. That’s right: 5/5, aka
Cinco de Mayo. It’s the one night of year your nightly routine of putting on a Lucha Libre mask, drinking an entire bottle of tequila, and watching telenovelas for 18 straight hours can actually be considered a progressive nod toward multiculturalism, so live it up! So don't be afraid to strap on the sombrero and drunkenly fumble your way through an all-bongo version of “Oye Como Va.” And don’t worry if your girlfriend flees the room in tears, that just means that you’re awesome!
And no My Damn Channel show is more telenovela-y than current head writer on
Late Night With Jimmy Fallon,
A.D. Miles’s awesome
“Horrible People,” starring
Mather Zickel, Kristen Schaal, Jo Lo Truglio, and a ton of other way cool people. So get yourself a nice cool glass of horchata, pour it out, grab a beer instead, and watch the first episode
here.

April Fools on 4/1/2011 11:40:00 AM by Matt Warren
It's April 1st today, aka April Fools' Day, aka the most frustrating day of the year. It's the only day of the year when the average U.S. citizen gets to experience all the perks of being a paranoid schizophrenic: not trusting anyone, disbelieving your own eyes, thinking everyone is out to get you, etc. It's a total nightmare.
But we assume that you, the loyal Night Feed reader, is, on average, WAY too smart to fall for any of that type of shenanigoats. So instead of insulting your intelligence, we just thought we'd point you toward this great prank from our pals over at Stella, and remind you that David Wain's Wanderlust will be in theaters later this year.
And while we're at it, why not check in with the goings-on over at Back on Topps, Horrible People, and Status Kill? Hopefully they'll make you feel a little bit better about your own foolishness. Zots and Crambles!

Shooting extremely twisted video this Sunday night at our CES opening night party in Vegas inside the Palms hotel. Don Was is producing. Andy Milonakis is Andy-ing. The rest is going to have to get down on tape to be real. Guest stars abound. Just saw an early cut of our new 'soap opera' series: HORRIBLE PEOPLE. Created by A.D. Miles.
Cookin' with Coolio is in pre-production in LA.
Getting early cuts of our first animated series: INVASION and our new BEDTIME STORIES series from creator, Steve Kerper. He will launch the CARNIVAL OF STUFF channel coming up. His "HAPPY HANNUKAH" video blew up &
made it into our Top 10 of 07.
Enough of us - another co-con deserves a standing ovation:
Filmmaker/Comedian to Live in IKEA Store for an Entire Week- Media Invited Tuesday, Jan 8 at 1pm
NEW YORK – Mark Malkoff, a filmmaker and comedian whose video "171 Starbucks" documented his visits to all of the coffee chain's Manhattan stores in a single day, will live in an IKEA store in Paramus, N.J., for an entire week starting Monday, Jan. 7.
"My apartment has to be fumigated and I need to move out for several days," said Malkoff, 31. "All of my friends have tiny studio apartments. Hotels in the city are too expensive. My apartment is 80 percent IKEA products anyway. Moving into an IKEA store makes sense."
Miraculously, IKEA has agreed to let Malkoff live in its Paramus store for the week. Each night, Malkoff will post a video recap of his day at www.MarkLivesInIKEA.com, which will be up beginning Jan. 7.
"This isn't a commercial for IKEA," Malkoff said. "They are not paying me to do this. To me, it made sense for my living circumstance and I thought it would make an interesting video. IKEA is giving me 100 percent creative control of the video content, which is pretty amazing."
Malkoff is best known for his video "171 Starbucks," in which he is shown visiting and consuming purchases at each of the ubiquitous coffee chain's locations in Manhattan in a single day. The stunt landed Malkoff on the "Today" show and on CNN, and made him the butt of one of Jay Leno's monologue jokes.
MEDIA ARE INVITED TO MARK'S BEDROOM SET IN IKEA IN PARAMUS, N.J., ON TUESDAY, JAN. 8, AT 1 P.M. PLEASE RSVP TO mark@markmalkoff.com
