Facebook, MySpace and Friendster unknowingly invite online predators into their Three’s Company-esque digs, only to get their pedophile party crashed by the intrusive Mr. Furley. Scientists discover proof that life on Mars died out because the entire planet was gay. And Larry King interviews…a jar of peppercinis. Expect all of this and more, in much larger doses, starting this Friday on Current TV. It’s SuperNews’s twisted take on relevant news and pop culture in its new form –- a weekly half-hour series.

Like the short-form SuperNews animated sketch series (typically, it was under 10 minutes), this new half-hour show blazes down the same, brazen path, only it’s set to be more explosive than ever. Each episode guarantees to give a good satirical spanking to the latest headlines and worthy trends. Think of it as creator, writer and executive producer Josh Faure-Brac’s own clever way of saying, “What the @#$%?”

In the preview for the first episode, one sketch pokes fun at the often-ridiculous, random babbling on the social networking site Twitter. Cubicle Guy #1 says to Cubicle Guy #2: “Just got to work. Sitting in my chair now. Didn’t you get my tweets? I just twoted all over the place!” Another sketch highlights Michael Phelps’s second favorite hobby. (Hint: It involves water but not necessarily swimming in it.) And then there’s MTV’s sad, slow, painful death -– from the early ‘80s when it showcased revolutionary music videos, to the ‘90s and the birth of The Real World to the “Like, OMG!” mind-numbing episodes of The Hills and all of the other reality shows about rich, spoiled twenty-somethings, teens and tweens. It’s all the things that need to be mocked in a series of smart, hilarious adult cartoons.

For the show that’s bigger, ballsier and even more Super than the original, catch the half-hour premiere of Current TV’s SuperNews this Friday, March 20th at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT at current.com.
