Reel Grrls, the awesome Seattle-based nonprofit organization that teaches media production to young women, has been under douche attack! Recently, Reel Grrls tweeted about the massive conflict of interest that is FCC Commissioner Meredith Attwell Baker's new job at NBC (this coming after she voted for the NBC/Comcast merger, natch) and Comcast's Steve Kipp responded by attempting to pull the funding for their summer film camp. WTF!?

If you've been watching 30 Rock this season, you might be familiar with Kabletown, the fictional media company that is in the process of purchasing NBC on the show. If you've been paying attention to media news recently, you might be familiar with Comcast, the real media company that is in the process of purchasing NBC in real life. Art imitates life! Even when life is in a Brave New World state controlled by media monopolies! In an added twist, NBC has launched a Kabletown website that contains some jokes that are so over-the-top they would be hilarious, if they weren't describing a dismal media future that is all too imminent for NBC/Comcast. Looks like a fake website is covering a real merger in a more effective way than most news outlets. Thanks, Tina Fey?
