Oh, Warner Bros: Geekosystem reports that the studio is going ahead with a “Buffy” remake, sans creator Joss Whedon. Um.

In other bad idea news, Styleite reports that there’s a “Mean Girls” sequel in the works. What the sequel won’t include: Tina Fey, Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Seyfried, Rachel McAdams, and Lacey Chabert.

It would be unbelievable were there not a screen shot: Sportsgrid has the cover of the New York Post, which features a cartoon of Michael Vick being attacked by a dog branded with the Giants logo, above a caption that reads “UNLEASH THE HOUNDS!” Yes. Apparently it was some kind of commentary on this Sunday’s game? To see the shot in all its offensive glory, click here.

For heaven’s sake. And also she maybe stole his watch? Get the full post here.
