The movie is titled ‘Coffee Town’, and looks to have a pretty solid cast backing it. Glenn Howerton from ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ and Steve Little from ‘Eastbound & Down’ will be starring in the film. It will follow a group of thirty-something friends in the workplace, and is rated-R. You can read about the rest of the movie in the press release below.

NEW YORK, Jan. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — CollegeHumor Media, an operating business of IAC (NASDAQ: IACI), announced today the production of its first theatrical motion picture Coffee Town, written and to be directed by Brad Copeland (“Arrested Development,” “My Name Is Earl”). This will be Brad Copeland’s debut as a feature director.

The film, which stars Glenn Howerton (‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’), Steve Little (‘Eastbound & Down’), Ben Schwartz (‘House of Lies’) and Josh Groban (‘Crazy, Stupid, Love’), will begin principal photography this February in Los Angeles. The film will be produced by CollegeHumor co-founder Ricky Van Veen.

Coffee Town is a modern-day workplace comedy for today’s job-hopping generation, focusing on Will (played by Howerton) and his two thirty-something friends who band together when their freeloading existence is threatened.
CollegeHumor will finance and produce the R-rated comedy, building upon its decade-long track record of creating and marketing irreverent comedy content. No release date is set.

“Brad has a sharp yet universal comic sensibility and we’re confident he’s going to be a fantastic director,” said Van Veen. “Coupled with the amazing cast we have so far, we’re incredibly enthusiastic about this project.”

Bonus: If you’ve somehow missed out on the Badman skits, this one is on me.

All you need to play is a ping pong ball, plenty of beer, and a few cups. Team up, take turns throwing the ping pong ball at your opponents cups (filled with beer of course), and every time you land in the cup the opposing team drinks the beer.

As a favorite game among techies, it was no surprise to hear that the staff from CollegeHumor would be challenging the staff from Facebook to a little beer pong.

What was a surprise is that according to a recent Valleywag article, Facebook was quick to put the breaks on because according to a tipster “Facebook’s PR and Legal dept said they can’t participate. I guess that’s what its like working in corporate America as opposed to a fun Internet company.”

It seems the idea of wasted staff stumbling to cars to drive home from a company sponsored event after a beer pong lashing by the CollegeHumor folks, was too much to take for Facebook’s legal & PR reps.

While I can empathize with their concerns, I can’t help wondering if this is just a cover-up for an embarrassingly poor field of Facebook beer pong athletes. I mean, what else could explain the PR department thinking chickening out of a beer pong challenge would look better in the eyes of their users?

I suppose we should just take them at their word, but I can’t help but wonder.

In the mean time, I might just kill a little time with a beer pong Facebook app, or just bide my time until I run into Mark Zuckerberg, in a bar, next to a ping pong table.
