The Brady organization against gun violence is calling on Hollywood writers, directors and producers to examine onscreen gun violence and depictions of gun safety, asking the creative community to sign a pledge that’s already garnered more than 200 signatures of such names as Judd Apatow, Shonda Rhimes, Damon Lindelof and Jimmy Kimmel and the writers of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
The pledge, while noting that the “responsibility lies with lax gun laws supported by those politicians more afraid of losing power than saving lives,” acknowledges that “America’s storytellers” have the power to “effect change.”
“Cultural attitudes toward smoking, drunk driving, seatbelts and marriage equality have all evolved due in large part to movies’ and TV’s influence. It’s time to take on gun safety,” the Brady pledge states, and goes on to ask writers, directors and producers to, whenever possible, to:

Today we move to the semifinals of Vulture's ultimate Reality Rumble, a bracket to determine the greatest season of the greatest reality-tv shows, from The Real World on. Each day, a different writer will be charged with determining the winner of a round of the bracket, until Vulture's Margaret Lyons judges the finals on March 25. Today, in the first round of the semis, The Bachelor's thirteenth season, in which Jason Mesnick asked for a do-over after proposing, takes on The Real World: San Francisco, which introduced us to Puck and Pedro. And who more qualified to judge a reality battle than three producers of The Soup, who spend every day studying more reality television than you could ever hope to consume.

"The Walking Dead" return to AMC Sunday (Oct. 16) evening to kick off its second season. But first, two of the show's stars -- Norman Reedus and Steven Yeun -- visit "The Soup" only to discover they've arrived to late to avert a zombie infestation.
The only "Soup"-ers they find left alive are regulars Mankini, Dancing Maxipad, Matt the intern, the "Star Wars" nerds, Leo the Dog, "Lee Farber, Jewish Person" and "Courtney Stodden and her actual tweets." Oh, and "Mad Men's" Rich Sommer also randomly appears to have survived the attack.
They trade witty lines (Our fave: Fake Courtney Stodden's "I feel the zombie blood sensually spray my body as I blow... its brains out through the back of its head with a shotgun. Winky face, a ha ha ha ha.") while a zombie Khloe Kardashian waits outside clamoring for brains.
This, people, is good television.

Who doesn't love a blooper? Racists, that's who. Racists hate bloopers. They always have. But assuming you're not a racist, you'll enjoy these outtakes from The Soup Presents: Housemates, Hot Tubs and Health Code Violations, featuring host Joel McHale and writer Lee Farber. The show airs tonight at 10:30 Et/Pt! So start your November off right and watch it. Seriously. Do it. Otherwise we'll have to tell Joel you didn't, and, well, he'll be crushed.
