Gilbert Arenas: The Cartoon
You know, I don’t think Gil was kidding when he said he was embarking on a mission he called The Takeover last season. Dude is everywhere; he has his own shoe, he’s on the cover of video games, and now, he’s about to appear in a cartoon series.
Inspired in part by the popularity of his blog, Gilbert Arenas is bringing Gilbertology to a library, TV and laptop near you. In addition to writing a hoops-themed self-help book, the quirky Wizards guard will be the gaming guru in a video series for FoxSports.com, and is pitching a reality series that would place him in Simple Life-like settings, tentatively shooting next year.
Agent Zero is also developing a cartoon series centering on himself as a child. How that would differ from his real life is unclear.
You know you’re going to watch the toon series, but will it be any good? It’s hard to tell at the moment, what with the scarce details and all, but I’m going to guess that it’ll at least be watchable. To be honest, I’m more excited about the possibility of a reality TV show starring Gil.
Is there anything this man can’t do? What’s next, a run at The Presidency?

I just bought my son an Obama/Arenas 08 shirt. When I was living in NYC, I used to get really annoyed at hipster parents who’d put their toddlers in Ramones and Slayer shirts, especially because they probably never even liked the Ramones or Slayer. But this… this is different. This is right.

Having read a bit about his life, why am i expecting the toon to be like the hoops version of “The Pursuit of Happyness”?

The World’s Most Overexposed Arenas. And hey Ryan, don’t make me buy Ethan a CBGB shirt. You know there’s a whole CBGB STORE on St. Mark’s, right? I need to get out of here.

Russ, you can buy your as-yet-unborn kid a Slayer shirt because you actually like them. It’s the jagoffs who do it while they listen to Justin Timberlake — ironically, they pretend, but we know the truth — I have no patience for.

What’s the chance he gets Marbury to guest star in his reality show? Or on his cartoon, for that matter?

Wait, does the parent or the child have to like Slayer? BTW, I’ve seen the Ramones baby t’s, but where are the baby Slayer shirts?

I don’t know where you live, paniscus, but in the East Village, they’re f*cking everywhere.

who does not want to see baby shoot the ball with one hand at the three line (nba three point line of course)while sitting in his blinged out crib. “agent zero mommy” will be his frist words.
