You may have noticed that we're sponsoring a really awesome comedy film festival in LA.

We'll be giving away tickets to some awesome movies throughout the festival, but here's two great flicks to start us off. To enter, email our intern John at john@maximumfun.org with your film preference, full name, and two favorite words and definitions - one real, one fake. A pair of tickets will go to the author of our favorite real word, and our favorite fake one.

Saturday night at 10:45, there's a screening of "TV Carnage," a bizarre and amazing collection of insanity, including a main feature called "One Man Force" that promises to be a gem of disastrous cinema. As the Cinefamily folks put it: "TV Carnage barfs up its frenetic celebration of the human thought process with a magical odyssey of alternative judgment calls and creative decision making."

Above, an example of the kind of madness that will be shown in the shorts program.

At 8PM Saturday night, a screening of the documentary "Winnebago Man." Documentarian Ben Steinbauer tracks down the man in the legendary viral clip above, and finds much more than he expected - a rich, brilliant, heroic American figure. A huge hit at SXSW this year.

Congratulations to our winners, Mariel and Riley!

and Jesse's mom Judith Thorn.

The winner will be announced at the beginning of our pledge drive on May 1st.

To all ye donors out there, we've got a special treat. We recently came in possession of "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour: Best of Season 3" DVD, and we want you to have it.

Who ever would like it, and is a donor, please e-mail casey@maximumfun.org your address and a one sentence reason why you deserve the DVD's.

We have a winner! Laura, congrats, and enjoy!

We have a copy of the wonderful "Late Show Fun Facts" by David Letterman. It is the perfect coffee table book and regular book. All you have to do is answer this question: David Letterman used to work on a news program in Indianapolis; What was his job?

Just e-mail the answer and your address to casey@maximumfun.org

If you listen to the show on your local public radio station this book will most likely be available as a pledge drive gift during the pledge drive in the fall. So stay tuned to The Sound of Young America all the time.

But not only that, we also have 7" vinyl singles of Brian Wilson's "Midnight's Another Day." We have decided that the nice thing to do would be to give them away as a package to the wonderful donor's of Maximumfun.org. All you have to do is answer the following question:

Congrats to Cory, Tim, and Mark. You guys are so smart.

Hello people. So. We have chosen the three winners of the Morris Day VS. A Wild Animal contest. Here they are in no particular order. Thanks to all who entered!

Jenny Whiting: Just look at this image. I know hippos are vicious, but eating a U.F.O.? Damn, that's cold. You've got skills Jenny. Skills.

Chris Vendrick: Morris Day strangling and kicking a bear in the knee. Do you see fear on his face? I don't. If you like this illustration Chris has a blog. Nice work Chris.

Ian Thompson: It looks as though this lion has interrupted Morris Day walking like an Egyptian through the park. You know what you get for that Mr. Lion? A finger in the eye. Excellent MS paint skills Ian.

Thanks again everyone. You're a talented bunch.
