Shock jock Howard Stern is set to produce a remake of Porky’s, the 1982 gross-out comedy that is Canada’s top- grossing English-language film.

Although no director or actors have been attached to the project, Stern has drafted screenwriters Craig Moss and Steve Schoenburg to pen the script.

The original, which followed the sexual misadventures of a group of teenage boys, was made during Canada’s tax- shelter era on a budget of $4 million US. According to the Internet Movie Database, it pulled in over $105 million in North America alone.

“It’s the highest-grossing Canadian film ever,” Don Carmody told CBC News Online Wednesday. Carmody, along with director Bob Clark, produced the original Porky’s.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
