Humorless Food Network Buys Parody Domain Name

The fine ladies at FoodNetworkHumor.com recently learned what folks in the Bay Area have known for eons: most foodies lack funny bones. Case in point, the Food Network, in anticipation of its new network, the Cooking Channel, bought the domain name CookingChannelHumor.com. Why? Well, according to FNH, it's a benign effort to get Jillian and Michelle Madison to stop poking fun at their new batch of chefs.

"You bought CookingChannelHumor.com?" Jillian Madison asks in a recent post. "You're so terrified of being parodied by two random girls on the internet that you went out of your way and spent money to acquire a domain name in a pathetic attempt to prevent it from happening?"
