  • Blasphemy has never been so funny.

    The thing about Israelis is, they we are equal opportunity offenders. Christians? No problem: If Mary had been a modern Israeli woman (5 MB WMV download) Chasidic and other ultra-orthodox Jews? We got you covered: I’m sure there’s plenty of stuff out there to cover Muslims and others, too, but I’ll leave it to others…

  • What do we want? CHANGE! When do we want it? NOW!

    Who’s gonna make it happen? EVERYBODY! … well, at least I know that when I go to Washington I’ll be able to get some change.

  • Elective inspiration

    Yeah, it’s specific to one candidate, but the message is so universal, and so beautifully produced, that it’s well worth sharing: a song, based on Barack Obama’s speech after the New Hampshire primary, produced by the Black Eyes Peas’ will.i.am. I especially like the inclusion of the chorus phrase in Hebrew, spoken by actress Maya…

  • Fun on Monday

    end of the day, just saw this link on Fark.com (in a completely unrelated thread): Raiders of the Lost Ark as an animated GIF in 2:20 min.:

  • Friday hilarity

    First, thanks to my silly brother-in-law Dave for this collection of important advice about taking care of babies. Some highlights: Next, thanks to my always-reliable father for sacrificing the copious amounts of free time on his hands precious moments in between looking for work to pass along these fantastic finds from Youtube: First, from the…

  • Geeky Comedic Genius

    I first became aware of British standup comedian Eddie Izzard some years ago when a friend of mine online kept using the phrase “jeezy creezy” in place of Jesus Christ. Since then, I’ve enjoyed his material on TV and in a few movies, and now, thanks to a Youtube user with too much time on…

  • Coincidence? Perhaps…

    1. At a party over the weekend, I met Mark Christopher Lawrence, a prolific actor who’s currently appearing in NBC’s prime-time hit Chuck. I don’t usually drop names, but then, I don’t usually run into successful actors, either. I’d never watched Chuck, mostly because I haven’t been watching much TV at all, but I’d heard…

  • The law of averages

    It’s just a fact. When you make something like 800 over 1,000 movies a year, they’re not all going to be classics. And when you make music videos from the songs in some of those movies, some of them are going to be so laughably bad that they’ll provide untold oodles of entertainment (“untold oodles”?…

  • Equal time, again: Christmas in Fallujah (x2)

    My first concert was Billy Joel on (I think) The Bridge tour, so I’ve been a fan for a long time. I went to that concert with my mom, who’s also a big fan. She was kind enough to point me to Billy’s latest social commentary tune (following up on, just off the top of…
