Inside the MTV Movie & TV Awards Clash Over a Joke Writer Once Accused of Rape (Exclusive)
- 25 June 2019
- The Wrap
The morning after the MTV Movie & TV Awards last week, actor Harold Perrineau tweeted a pointed question to the network and the show's host: "Did you really hire Murray Miller as a writer after [he was] accused of raping a minor?"
Perrineau, the star of "Lost" and "Claws," had a very personal stake in the matter: One of his daughters was the minor in question. But prosecutors have declined to prosecute Miller, a writer whose credits include HBO's "Girls," and he has denied any wrongdoing.
Miller's situation raises questions about what should happen to Hollywood men publicly accused of serious crimes, but never convicted or charged: Should they be blacklisted forever? Or allowed to go back to work?

Psy + Jar-Jar Binks = 'Gungan Style'
- 26 October 2012
- EW.com - PopWatch
Had enough of "Gangnam Style" and all its viral-video parodies? Well, it's over. Funny or Die has officially killed it, with "another classical topical sketch." Once you've combined Psy's pounding beat with Star Wars' most hated character, the game is over.
But this clip is more than just a straight-forward parody. Video whiz Nick Wiger can't help but look upon what he has created (or destroyed?) and wonder how he allowed himself to waste his life away on such childish things. "The Wiges" spirals into suicidal depression, and then… whatev, start from the beginning again. Jar-Jar rocks it.

Warning: Some of the content in this video may be disturbing to some viewers.
Well, this is it. We've come to the end of Internet parodies. Nick Wiger has made a Funny Or Die short that begins as a "Star Wars" themed parody of "Gangnam Style" called "Gungan Style," but about a minute in, takes a stark left turn that will make you reevaluate everything you ever thought you knew about the Internet, and humor, and life and the universe.
We're going to go take a cold shower real quick (or maybe forever). Bye!
