Cats re-enacting 'Lost'

I've written I didn't watch "Lost".  Well, more correctly, I watched the first episode and became hopelessly confused by half way through the second and ended up giving up after that.  But, I have to say, after reading some really interesting articles early this week on the final episode, I wondered if I shouldn't have dug a little deeper to hang in.

On the other hand, watching videos of cats re-enacting the series makes me think I probably made the right choice.

A funny spoof of those "green" BP advertisements:

The most awesome 'to do' list

I like lists.  Top ten lists.  To do lists.  Favorite movie lists.  Worst song lists.  Really, pretty much any kind of list.   The young author of this 'to do' list is a kid after my own heart.

"Decisions concerning private property and associations should in a free society be unhindered."

Just kidding.

This guy is no Tony Robbins

Holy crap, this is even painful to watch.

Spoofing Alabama campaign ads

Last week, a couple campaign videos were released from Republican candidates for Agricultural Commissioner and governor in Alabama.  Both ads were so over the top in style - Dale Peterson's had a manic intensity and Tim James' was xenophobia masked as homespun common sense - that spoofs were inevitable.  Well, here they are:

'Don't drunk dial Freedom Works'

Lance Baxter, better known as D.C. Douglas, is an actor most famous for doing voice overs for Geico commercials.  He made news recently when he called Tea Party front group Freedom Works and left an angry voice mail.  He was subsequently fired by Geico. 

Baxter has now made a PSA video, hoping to explain the whole crazy mess (and get one more dig).

Incredible beer pong shots

These guys should definitely be the designated drivers.
