Well, actually we don't know the real reason, other than Franco's claims of having to work on a film or something, but this video from The Harvard Lampoon, "James Franco's Rejected UCLA Commencement Speech," which actually stars James Franco, is pretty funny, so we thought we'd share it with you since we chronicled this whole saga last month. Enjoy, brah.

Glenn Beck Explains the Situation in Iran

Confused about the situation in Iran, are you? Surely you've found yourself laying in bed at night recently wondering, "When will Glenn Beck explain all of this for me?" Well you're in luck—Glenn broke out the chalkboard today!

Now, it's doubtful that anything he says here in his second grade-level tutorial is anything Gawker readers don't already know, but perhaps if we're lucky, Glenn's crude representation of Allah and the Iranian leaders will lead to some fundamentalist group to issue a fatwa against him, and then the comedy can really begin!
