Dwight and friends over at The Office have successfully recreated what I imagine is happening all over the globe right now. Since Dark Knight was the most popular movie of the year, I can only assume that the entire world is overrun with Joker costumes right about now, and the numbers will only grow.

A new British sitcom has the weirdest storyline ever — and the most intriguing pedigree. Clone is the brainchild of Adam Chase, an executive producer of American sitcom Friends, and he's enlisted Ash Attila, a producer of the British Office, to make it. The show's main character will be a wimpish clone soldier created by a mad scientist, played by Jonathan Pryce.
