I found this on Yahoo’s homepage, nestled in between articles with far less dire implications. Silly stories with headlines such as DANGEROUS LEAD LEVELS FOUND IN TOYS, NEW VACCINE OFFERS HOPE, and SHANGRI-LA MAY BE FOUND.

You just may have to get your nutritional and taste lacking discus fix elsewhere. Might I suggest, cardboard. Its time to let go of your eggos for good.

Tacking advantage of the great Eggo Famine of 09′,  I have posted a new box of Eggo Waffles with a starting bid of $65 on Ebay. The mass hysteria  should drive up the price into the millions.   See HERE for yourself (feel free to bid)  if anyone is biting.

It has been a trying week for Kellogg’s and their breakfast products. Fist, the great Eggo Debacle, and now the Wall Street Journal reports:

Kellogg: Rice Krispies Won’t Protect Your Kid From Swine Flu

Really? It won’t? I have been going to Doctors Snap, Crackle and Pop for years and they have shielded my from the likes of typhoid fever, jaundice, and shingles.   I can’t give them all the credit, because my secondary physicians have included Dr. Tony “the” tiger and Dr. Toucan Sam DDS.

But, the WSJ article states Kellogg’s is removing a banner from the boxes boasting the cereal helps children fight immunity.

The move seems a bit odd, that it was only July when the company rolled out the new claim, which went along with a new formulation of the cereal that included higher amounts of vitamins A, B, C and E.

Kellogg’s whats next? Your beloved Pop Tarts will no longer cure cancer? But, but, what about the claim on the box? Both Invincibility and invisibility it says.

Whats next?  Am i going to forced to eat FRUITS and healthy yogurts? This is horrible.

The past couple weeks I worked on commercials for SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. Its been a cool experience with great people.

Week 1: Swine Fever.

Royal Flush Festival

I am a Producer on the Royal Flush Festival and after months of work the event is finally happening this very week (Oct.15-19). Its a festival celebrating underground art, film, and music. We have film premiers, q&A sessions with artists and directors, we have parties, and punk rock concerts. All takes place in the East Village. Click the above poster to be brought to the official website. Would love for you guys to come out. We have screenings of a new Henry Rollins Film, Ron English Film, American Rock Poster Art Doc and much moe.

PS… we are still looking for some last minute volunteers, so if you are interested in giving us a day or two during the festival (OCt 15-19) then I can hook you up with free tickets to parties, screenings, and hot dog eating contests. (there are no hot dog eating contests associated with this festival)

I worked on a new video for the awesome band SaY Hi, directed by the talented Drew Norton. Here it is… enjoy

The television blared. My name was being screamed repeatedly.

Am I on drugs,  dreaming, or so desperately lonely?  When I watch this… its all about Dan.

Oh Dunkin Donuts, you keep America running ..to their tv sets.  Hmm… I could really go for a Krispy Kream right about now.

I played a song in the DJ booth at the Upright Citizen Brigade Theater this past Sunday by a band called My First Earthquake and they tweeted about it.

Its a fun song.

I did minor animation (additional animation) on a pilot called Man-Man. Accepted to the New York Television Festival (NYTVF), it will screen with other finalists on September 24th.

Its from the good folks at Escape Pod Films, over-whelmingly animated by the super talented Ed Mundy and voiced, by the always funny (and great improv teacher) Will Hines. View the teaser above, and for other great finalists including God and Company (Todd Berry, Dr. Katz, Bob Balaband)  view NYTVF.com

Hello - I am daniel berman.

You might be coming to my site for the first time because you read my article in the most recent issue of , or maybe,  because someone blackmailed you. Either way, welcome. I have compiled some links to a few of my more popular posts. Some are funny, while others are heartfelt and demented. On occasion, I try to concoct a piece utilizing all three descriptors.

I live in this city

• Here I discuss my life altering operation.

• Here I discuss moving 7 times in one year and coming out more rooted because of it.

• Here I wrote two pretty disturbing cartoons about a pig with some urges.

and there are other little gems (anvils) on this site, please feel free to peruse. But, remember, if you break it, you buy it.

Email me with any thoughts, comments, or other writing opportunities over here.

Thanks sincerely for checking out my site and come back soon for more heartfelt craziness,

Daniel Berman

Daniel, Danny, Dan too

PS if you can digg my NYPress story, I’d appreciate it. Well, I WOULD. Thanks.

I have been in NYC for almost 8 years and this year was the first time I performed in this festival. I smoked a cigarette with Del years ago and now to be in a festival honoring him is really cool. I should have posted before about the show, so you could have seen it. Boy, you should have seen it.
Now, I am racing off to be the technical improvisor for ASSSCAT. The show will have SNL, Daily Show, Conan, Colbert, 30 Rock, writers and actors. This will be my 7th year doing the tech for this show. It flies by quickly. Also, have an article coming out in NYpress

this wednesday. I will post about it again in couple of days.
