Kirsten Wiig is one of the funniest actors who has ever been on Saturday Night Live. This video is a good example of how much she can do with absolutely nothing. She’s a master at under-delivering jokes, which is pretty much an unheard of comedy style on SNL. Can you imagine how unfunny this would be if Cheri O’ Teri had delivered it?

Speaking of Matt, he got his first post on Popular Science (dot com) today. Check it out and show some respect for the mighty octopus.

There’s a new video out of Amy Winehouse smoking crack. It’s about time! I feel like I’ve been waiting for ages!

I’m constantly amazed by the number of scandalous videos of celebrities in the world. You would be hard-pressed to find private video of me doing anything over the last few years, let alone anything scandalous. Are celebrities constantly hanging out and videotaping each other? And then do they get together and watch those videos? “Hey, where’s that crack smoking video we made? I’d like to see that.”

I’m a little behind the loop, so I just finally watched the Leave Britney Alone video. What is most fsacinating about this “story” is that this imbecile has achieved minor celebrity status. I heard him mentioned on Bill Maher the other night. He’s being flown around the country to hang out at art openings and wear free jewelry. This is God’s little way of saying to all of us who are struggling to eke out a meager existence: “Stop trying.”

I don’t know the first thing about Evil Nine, but I do know that I saw this semi-video and immediately downloaded their entire album from iTunes. That is what someone with good taste should do when encountering this semi-video for the first time. I will report back with my observations.

Ya’ know … it’s become cliche, but I sure can’t understand why someone who supported the war wouldn’t serve. I don’t support it, and I would never in a million years serve. So I’m safe from charges of hypocrisy, I guess.

PS Check out the dude who starts talking with 3:06 left. Priceless.

Aspy sent me a link to a video on YouTube called “Vagina Power vs. Penis Power.” It had been taken down by the user. I did some investigating, and I’m pretty sure this is what he was directing me to. I haven’t gotten through the whole thing yet, but my eyes have already been opened. Not safe for work. Let’s be honest … you probably don’t work, anyway.

Before Sarah and I left New York, Sarah and her roommate Leah had a party for three Iraqis who were visiting the states. Leah freelanced for a company called Chat the Planet that was putting together a series about college students in Iraq. The guys came over to talk about their experiences and meet with some “normal” Americans. I didn’t spend much time with them, but I was surprised by how little their opinions and manner of communicating differed from ours. Of course, they were speaking English, so I’m sure that helped.

Now, the series is finally going live, and it’s fascinating. The first three episodes are live at the Hometown Baghdad website, and apparently there are more than 40 episodes to come. It’s the first thing I’ve seen showing what life is like for ordinary Iraqis. I think it’s an incredibly important show that all Americans should see. It’s hard to empathize when you see footage on the news which invariably makes Iraq look like a terrifying place filled with miserable people, but this series demonstrates that a lot of people in the country are just trying to get by amid devastating circumstances.

Delish!

I had to embed this one because it’s just too good and I wouldn’t want anyone to miss it.
