Video Tuesday: Rejected WiiPlay Games

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

This is tasteless. Hysterically funny, but tasteless. I’m blaming it on Brian.

P.S.

OK, apparently I’m not the only one resorting to video clips in a post-three-day weekend lack of creativity. Shindo has an interesting cartoon where George W. Bush gets to meet Jesus and Dick Cheney channels his inner Aztec god.

And Brian, he who pointed me to the above WiiPlay video, has a clip from an Aussie morning talk show with the creator of Aussiebum (you know, the inventors of Wonder Jock underwear?) … with models so stunning even the cameramen (and/or women) don’t know where to focus. It might be morning TV, but it’s probably not something you’d want your boss to catch you watching …

New Takes on Classic Literature

Friday, May 25th, 2007

I was pointed in the direction of Something Awful’s Photoshop Phriday, which features children’s books from the dark side. I was laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe.

Video Monday: The Sopranos … on PAX-TV

Monday, May 21st, 2007

This has been one of my favorites since I first saw it on MadTV a few years ago:

It came out shortly after The Sopranos went up for syndication and there was a lot of discussion about whether the profanity, violence, sex, drug usage, etc. could be toned down and still have the show retain some of its character. And now, “PAX-TV presents The Sopranos. Weeknights from 9:00 – 9:03.”

Blah.

It’s such a gray day outside. It’s very hard to motivate one’s self at times like this.

I’m going to steal an idea from a blogger with more original thoughts than mine and visit an old classic: French and Saunders’ Bergman Day. This one’s for Brian, who said he needed a reboot on today:

Enjoy. I hope you’re having a good day!
