Facebook drones, Gwyneth Paltrow-Chris Martin “uncoupling”, more Chris Christie “Bridgegate” controversy… they’ve all littered the headlines over the last week, and while all of those have varying degrees of importance in your life (i.e., probably not that much unless you’re Coldplay’s biggest fan in New Jersey), there was so much else going on as well. In comedy alone, The Onion and A.V. Club are putting on their own comedy festival, Archer is going back to its roots in spying, Dave Chappelle is officially getting back on stage yet again, and more.
