Just take a look at its new smiley face.; [HOME EDITION] Paul Brownfield. Los Angeles Times. Los Angeles, Calif.: Sep 3, 2006. pg. E.1 Abstract (Summary) "Tourgasm" was a conspicuously slight and infomercial-like ad to boost [Cook]'s rabid popularity among college-age fans; the rest was filler, Cook and his three comedian underlings in various states of homoerotic, roughhousing repose. It seemed more than a little symbolic, in fact, that Cook was blowing up last year while Mitch Hedberg, a comedian whose following mirrored Cook's (Internet fan base, transcendent rock-star aura), died of a drug overdose in a New Jersey motel. Onstage, Hedberg cut an odd Kurt Cobain-like figure -- tall, skinny, beatnik clothes, hair over his eyes. He talked in idiosyncratic, absurdist mumbles ("I tried to walk into a Target, but I missed"; "I don't own a microwave, but I do have a clock that occasionally cooks [things]") and was afraid to lock eyes with the audience. He feared the very thing at which Cook excels -- tearing down the wall between the audience and himselfbut he loved that which Cook doesn't: the economy, the importance, of words.
