Fbc spotted this in the news recently-Frank is voicing a character, alongside Iggy Pop, Dave Grohl and Wilco's Jeff Tweedy among others, in Comedy Central's new animation, Lil' Bush. And according to this news item that popped up today, Frank is playing the devil himself!:
Contactmusic.com.
TWEEDY VOICES GOD
WILCO frontman JEFF TWEEDY will guest star
as The Voice Of God in an upcoming episode of
animated American TV show Lil' Bush. The
singer/songwriter joins Pixies rocker Frank Black,
who voices Satan, and Iggy Pop, who stars as Lil'
Donald Rumsfeld, in the Comedy Central cartoon.
Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl and Red Hot
Chili Peppers also guest on the show, which
satirises U.S. President George W. Bush's
administration.

So is Frank anti-Bush?
 Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |

I am pretty sure I read in some interview that Frank voted Nader.
Besides, I would assume that the Devil would be pro-Bush?

No he gets 3 votes, one for Charles, one for Black and one for Frank. It is the law or something...

The Devil voted Nader as well. To steal votes away from what-his-name....mumbly Joe.
Sorry folks, I'm on pills. Maybe I should be in the Drunk thread.

Ughhhh!!!
This show looks TERRIBLE. The commercials are the most flattest overused anti-Bush cliche jokes I've ever heard. And isn't it a little...LATE for a show like this? And isn't this all the same idea as Human Giant's "Lil' 9/11"? And didn't "That's My Bush" do the same thing but a lot better and without crappy animation and grating voices? Ah well now I have to watch it.

Yeah, I don't really get anti-Bush humor/satire these days either. It's harder to write a fart joke than an anti-Bush joke. What's the point and who's it for?

EW gives it a D and passes pity on The Daily Show for having ads for it on every commercial break. Sounds like it's as horrible as we think it is. I don't plan on watching it, not even for FB. Bleh.

The Underwire.
Lil' Bush Graduates From Mobile Phone to Cable
By Hugh Hart June 13, 2007 | 11:46:27 AM Categories: Television
Amp'd Mobile, the company that spawned "Lil' Bush" as a cell phone mobisode
series, declared bankruptcy last week but that hasn't stopped Donick Cary ("The
Simpsons," "The Late Show with David Letterman") from re-launching his Bush
Administration parody on Comedy Central. Debuting tonight at 10:30 pm ET as a
pair of ten-minute shorts, "Lil' Bush" portrays the president as a mischievous
eight-year old. In upcoming episodes, the series' boy president wears "Aquaman"
underpants as he goes head to head with Lil’ Kim Jong Il, leads a panty raid
against an Al Qaeda Training Camp, and, with his play-date pal Tony Blair,
unleashes weapons of mass destruction.
Augmenting the regular cast will be musical guest voices provided b The Foo Fighters' Dave Grohol, Frank Black
From The Pixies, Jeff "Wilco" Tweedy and The Red Hot Chili Peppers.

What is going on? I just had a sample of The Onion TivoCast downloaded to my TiVo, and it's the same crap. Horribly out of date and unfunny political parodies. How do they not know it's bad? I mean, some effort has to be put in to make this stuff, right?

We watched the show only because we thought it would be fun to hear FB. There was no sign of him. Does anyone know in which episode he will appear?

Frank did a pretty good job. Too bad the show is awful.
Hopefully Frank's voice'll show up in something decent someday |
