I'm almost ready to forgive the Internet for Twitter, on account of you can watch the whole season premiere of Flight of the Conchords on it for free. It's funny because they talk funny!
And because, you know, there's no real news happening anywhere in the world right now, I'll post another amusing video (which I can actually embed, since our blog software apparently likes it too). When the whole Potter Puppet Pals thing happened, I sort of lazily assumed it was a one-off. I was so wrong! I had no idea there was an entire rich oeuvre of these things to be delved into, each one more genius than the last, with their own internal mythology and their own incisive critical take on the whole Potterverse.
I think "Wizard Swears" is the genius-est. "He doesn't mean it, Neville." "I mean every word I ever say ever. Because I'm Harry Potter!"
You sicken me. Yaaaaaay!
Lev, how could you ever be mad at the internet? Especially when it gives Dirk Benedict the opportunity to embarrass himself all over again: http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/dbenedict/2009/01/19/lt-starbuck--lost-in-castration/

jeffk, your link should have a warning label on it: will make you want to poke your eyes out and go into full hysterics.
Totally makes me think of the time that a guy told me that 1) feminism was the downfall of society and 2) I was part of the problem because I was taking a job away from a deserving, white male engineer.
Bleck.

On the Benedict link - he's right about the remakes in Hollywood, but that's really the diamond in the goat's ass right there. Along what usesherbrain said, I expected this guy to start talking about going out and roughing up a hysterical dame while maintaining a steely glint in his eye.

On the Potter Puppets - that is some funny stuff.
