Xcitement Toys

Erik Guzman November 27th, 2007

The Black Friday and Cyber Monday numbers are in and it looks like the post-Thanksgiving Christmas shopping is off to a strong start, fueled by bargain hunting fervor. However, some are speculating that this year's recalls of millions of toys for lead-paint hazards and faulty design will dent toy sales, which is typically one of the hottest holiday categories.

But did you ever wonder what happens to all those dangerous toys they've pulled off the shelves? It sure would be a shame if … (Read More)

Turkeys at PETA

Erik Guzman November 20th, 2007

Thanksgiving is almost here…that glorious day of the year that we set aside for family, friends, and expressing our gratitude to God for his many blessings.

And the food! I'm salivating just thinking about the turkey with all the fixings.

Then there's my favorite part, the leftovers. Mom's turkey soup and the turkey sandwiches. What a wonderful opportunity to test the limits of our digestive systems and tolerance for all things turkey.

Unless, of course, PETA has a … (Read More)

Little Crack House on the Prairie

Erik Guzman November 6th, 2007

The first Hollywood writers strike in almost 20 years started this week, and the late-night talk shows are already being forced into reruns.

Producers of prime-time TV shows have stockpiled enough scripts to last until early next year.

However, with no new negotiations in sight, the writers here at SBE feel that our time has come. We have scads of family friendly (yet edgy) TV program ideas. Plus…we work cheap.

So Hollywood, lift up your studio heads for your salvation draweth nigh … (Read More)

Christian Vampires

Erik Guzman October 30th, 2007

When famed gothic novelist, Anne Rice (best known for her Vampire Chronicles), returned to the faith of her childhood and dedicated her future work to Jesus, she subsequently published Christ the Lord, Out of Egypt and we quickly booked her as a guest on the show.

We also produced a comedy bit that took some shots at the fact that we booked her as a guest on the show.

This is that bit.

While not bad…it does suck. But, with Halloween upon us, you may be in the mood for something weird.

Lil' Puffers Cigarettes

Erik Guzman October 23rd, 2007

Alright… confession time. The financial situation is pretty bad here at SBE. Quality advertisers aren't knocking down the door, and we're not sure how long we can go on like this. The temptation to fold and sell ads to less than desirable clients has been strong.

It's times like these that test an organization's moral resolve.

With that being said, please allow me the great pleasure of introducing you to our new sponsor, Lil' Puffers Cigarettes.
