On Thursday, Jimmy Kimmel Live brought back one of our favorite segments: “Plizzanet Earth” with host, Snoop Dogg. This time, he explored the world of tree frogs, or as he called them “geicos” who may or may not have been engaging in some interesting expressions of love and biology.

Throughout the southern states phone companies have been forced to offer refunds because of complaints about interference on the line. There have been reports in the papers of bounties being offered, teenage vigilantes driving slowly along back roads with their windows open and their guns well-oiled. And mostly, when you think about it, because the frogs lost their homes when the trees were cut down to make the paper to print these stories on. The show's host, with his hands clasped firmly behind him, walks miserably across a barren bluegrass hillside, reminding us that somehow the frogs, the trees, the guns and newspapers, must surely be a metaphor for the lives we're living, and he's right and we feel bad enough, Mister Chu feels bad enough, miserable enough, to find another channel almost immediately.
