Like all great champions, Perez Hilton never stops looking for an edge.

Being the world’s preeminent TERRIBLE blogger doesn’t happen by accident.

It takes commitment (to everything but reality) and innovation (in new ways to screw up).

Today we’re reminded once more of his genius.

“Guiding Light has officially been canceled after 72 years,” mourns a solemn Perez (today).

Very sad.

(pause)

Wait.

Wasn’t “Guiding Light” canceled… more than a year ago?

Yes. Yes, it was.

And didn’t Perez… write about it then?

Yes. Yes, he did.

March 31, 2009: Perez reports that “Guiding Light” may end, with CBS looking for a replacement.

April 1, 2009: Perez announces that the soap “has just been cancelled!”

August 3, 2009: Perez discusses a possible replacement for “Guiding Light,” which “is finally going off the air after over fifty years.”

***September 18, 2009: “Guiding Light” airs its final episode.***

December 8, 2009: Perez mentions that “As The World Turns” is going off the air “only a few short months after the cancellation of it’s (sic) sister soap Guiding Light.”

And now today’s shocking “news.”

 

May 17, 2010: Perez tearfully reports… the end of “Guiding Light.”

How?

By linking to an April 2009 Fox News story…

… forgetting four of his own posts…

… and announcing the show’s cancellation a mere eight months after its much-hyped conclusion.

Wow.

When is Perez Hilton up for cancellation?
