AdultSwim.com debuts new design, absorbs Thing X, and more

Posted by | Jun 18, 2013 | , , |

There’s a new look today to AdultSwim.com. If it’s confusing to you, just think of how the fans and worker bees of the still-new Thing X feel, as that project is now absorbed into the mothership. Just as Super Deluxe once was? Yes and no. Meet the new AdultSwim.com. Same as the old one, but also different.

Russell Brand becomes only person on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” doing his or her job
