Jared Cook-Eat Your Heart Out

So I've got the best internship that TMA has ever given (yes, even better than shadowing Ron Howard). I'm working for Post Fifth Pictures and we just had a rad weekend at Luc Robatille's Celebrity Shootout. It was a hockey game full of celebrities. I got tackled by Cuba Gooding Jr. who told me that there are only two black things out on the ice and you can only slap one of them. I know that this won't improve anyones editing, but maybe it will give you a quick laugh.
