Oh, Illena Douglas, you minx. We love your quirky characters and we even enjoyed your Speechless video during the writers’ strike, but this takes the cake.

Illena printed up some nice, clearly legible signs for the TMZ paparazzi and even ended up making Tom Arnold look like a dick for trying to joke about it.

Not that it’s hard to make Tom Arnold look like a dick.

Illena’s signs read: “TMZ causes cancer, stop filming celebrities and start filming poverty,” and “Children are starving and you are filming Tom Arnold.”

Although TMZ doesn’t have a comeback for starving children, they do claim to “film homeless people all the time.”

We know that we are as guilty of everything TMZ is, but we like to think of it as a pirate radio sort of situation. Out there, TMZ is like Clear Channel, buying up everything it can and directing the public’s interest while we’re over here in our corner of the internet using an antenna we made out of a bent coat hanger.

If Illena or any of you want to talk world poverty and hunger, we can articulate pretty damn well why we do what we do.

But that conversation is a downer. It’s much more fun to mock TMZ and their army of bottom-feeding videographers (who will never work in real journalism).
