Poncho & Lefty: The Uncensored DVD

So I was contacted by a marketing firm that is promoting Comedy Central's Roast of Pamela Anderson. They saw my recap of the original airing floating around the internets and asked if I'd post a press release and a review for the Uncensored DVD. Tune in next week for my super-quality review of the Uncensored DVD (I won't watch it until this weekend) but for now, have a look at the release:

NEW YORK, January 30, 2006 -- It's comedians instead of Cupid shooting arrows at sexy vixen Pamela Anderson in the most-talked about and craziest "COMEDY CENTRAL Roast" ever. The event kicked-off with Anderson floating down from the rafters in an O-shaped chair while bubbles flowed through the air, followed by rapid fire quips, all at Anderson's expense. Ex-lover Tommy Lee proved once again that he is truly "larger than life" and the Roasters made sure to give it to him when it came to his manhood. And who could forget all those Courtney Love moments? Jimmy Kimmel, host of ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live," served as Roast Master. Released via COMEDY CENTRAL Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment, "COMEDY CENTRAL Roast of Pamela Anderson: Uncensored!" DVD arrives in stores nationwide on Tuesday, February 14? and will also be available at http://shop.comedycentral.com.
"COMEDY CENTRAL Roast of Pamela Anderson: Uncensored!" DVD features the entire unbleeped, unblurred, and extended version and bonus material such as exclusive rehearsal footage with Andy Dick and Courtney Love, red carpet interviews and more.

Highlights from the evening include: Bea Arthur reading sexually explicit excerpts from Anderson's new "novel"; Tommy Lee giving an arousing musical performance with Anderson dancing her heart out; Courtney Love acting like Tom Cruise on acid; Andy Dick fondling Anderson's assets; and Lisa Lampanelli, the Queen of Mean, unleashing a verbal assault that fired-up the crowd to a standing ovation.
