The show that comes on during second period at our school. Usually, the host will make fun of some sort of concept at the school. For the first episode he proved that dance was not a sport. It's a lot like the Colbert Report only the Madison Report is actually funny, look it up on youtube you'll laugh.

A girl with the name Abigail Madison is generally one of the greatest girls you will ever meet in your life, if not the greatest. Girls with this name are extremely beautiful and extremely sweet and they will leave you speechless when you talk to them. You must be lucky to have a girl with this name to be part of your life, and one-of-a-kind lucky to be able to date this girl. It is apparent when you see and/or meet an Abigail Madison.
Shane- "Hey girl, your name must be Abigail Madison."
Abigail Madison- "Indeed it is, how can you tell?"
Shane- "I could tell from the moment I saw your extreme beauty that that must be your name."

A decently sized town nestled right inbetween Mentor and Ashtabula. mostly known for its abundance of nurseries, fast food restaurants, pharmacies, and the local wal-mart. There are also many tell-tale signs if you've lived in Madison. For example: going from the township to the village is like crossing the mason-dixon line, you've ever heard "blood makes the grass grow kill, kill, kill!" at a football game, or if on any given day you see at least 5 members of you graduating class at Wal-Mart. People here are under the common misconception that they are gangsters or hillbillies, but once you get past that they're some sweet people. All in all, its not that bad of a place to live, we just need something to do on weekends.
