There is no confirmation yet, but this child whose photo was found by doing a Google image search for the word “child” may or may not be joining the cast of the movie adaptation of Suzanne Collins’s best-selling young adult series, The Hunger Games. If he has been cast, whoever he is, he will join Ashton Moio and Kara Petersen (District 6), Amandla Stenberg and Dayo Okeniyi (District 11), Leven Rambin and Jack Quaid (District 1), Ian Nelson and Kalia Prescott (District 3), Ethan Jamieson and Tara Macken (District 4), and Jackie Emerson and Chris Mark (District 5), whoever they are. Again: this is still just a casting rumor, but the unknown child pictured above, whose name may or may not be Colton Burpo, could possibly join all the other unknown children in this movie. If he is cast, he will play a child who is quickly and unceremoniously murdered by other children in a post-Apocalyptic game show. Acting!

  1. I hope the scene with the Tracker Jackers nest is staged exactly like the bee scene from Wicker Man.

    • Oh that animal hybrid stuff still freaks me out. There’s no way they can make the third movie not R-rated. If I hadn’t loaned my books to my 10-year-old neighbor, I’d reread them right now. Maybe I’ll hit up HP again.

  2. Can’t wait to see him stabbed to death!

    (I know this joke will be funnier without a disclaimer, but I don’t want people to think I’m evil)

  3. Gabe claimed he randomly google image searched the word child for his blog but the police did not believe him, Free Gabe, Free Earl

    • Fun Experiment for Anyone Interested: Compare the Google Image search results to the Bing Image search results. Write a 10-11 page report on what this says about our Bingciety, or alternatively, our Googleciety.

  4. Pro Tip: A Google image search for the word “adult” is an excellent way to cast your next porn film.

  5. Didn’t they already make a Battle Royale movie?

  6. Man, I cannot wait to pay $13 to see this movie about hungry kids.

  7. I initially assumed that Colton Burpo was made up, because that name is ridiculous. As it turns out, not only is he very real, he claims to have seen heaven when he almost died. Presumably the thing that almost killed him was shame. Shame caused by his name. Because his name is Colton Burpo.

  8. Have they cast the green hippo yet?

  9. Call me when the rumors start swirling about who will be cast in the adaptation of Hungry Hungry Hippo.

    SPOILER ALERT: Anne Hathaway is in talks to play that one white ball that you hurl with the full fury of your youthful existance at your upinger brother for being such a little cheating shit head.

  10. I LOVE Hunger Games Casting rumors! Woody Harrelson as Seneca Crane! Lenny Cravitz as Cinna! It’s going to be so awesome

  11. They should get Lil Bow Wow and Jonathan Lipnicki to play Gale and Peeta.

  12. …Hunger Games, you guys! It’s like a smart persons Twilight!

    I mean…theoretically it will be. I mean unless the movie ruins it. Which…is probably likely.

    …mmmmaaaannnnn

  13. You know when you talk to someone who hasn’t seen Star Wars and you look at them like they just told you they were raised like a veal? I feel like I’m becoming one of those people. To wit, here are a list of things people have brought up recently, on this blog, that I can’t talk about:

    1) The Hunger Games
    2) Game of Thrones
    3) Harry Potter

    I guess my point is I’ve officially moved from being the Abed to being the Pierce. I can’t wait for the time I make a Beverly Hills Cop II reference and people look at me like I’m from Mars and ask me who the hell is Johnny Wishbone.

  14. I think we have our answer to the Bathing Salts rehab blind item.

  15. According to the casting director in my head, Katniss should be played by a young Christina Ricci, and Peeta should be played by my junior high crush. So as soon as we get in that time machine and KILL HITLER, this should come next.

  16. …the fuck is Hunger Games?
