Efficiency be damned!
I’m not a big fan of their music, but OK Go’s videos? Pretty ridiculous. (Maybe that’s where they’re spending their creative energy.)

Genius Star Trek Dubbing
There are no words. Abdomen and some dried fish!
Mamaaaaaaaaa!
We’re going to pretend that The Mep Report, hippest, hottest, most tuned in website to all things weird and wonderful on this great big Internet of ours, didn’t take four days to link to this work of art. We’d appreciate it if we just kept this minor oversight, you know, between you and us. Okay? Appreciate it.
Seth MacFarlane’s Cavalcade of Crap
This week, College Humor accurately predicted the future programming lineup of the Fox Network…
A Life Lived in the Rat Race
Leave it to the French to author the final word on Corporate Darwinism. “Switch” is a short film by Jean-Julein Pous and Pierre Prinzbach intended to convey “…a methaphysical thought about time. It’s the destiny of humanity through a character and its different choices, materialized by doubles of himself.”
Charming British Political Protest
Try as they might, British reformers are much too quaint and humble to really ruffle anyone’s feathers (nudge nudge) with their political attack ads.
Kudos to Wifey Duck for a remarkable Terry Jones impression.
The Way of the IntraWebs
This is one of the most informative lectures about the internet that you will ever consume. Jonathan Zittrain not only de-mystifies the processes by which information travels from one site to another, but he lays out an ethos that the Internet operates by in violation of every Darwinian Rule of Human Interaction that you have ever learned.
Weird Japanese Face Animator (Emu POTW)
This Japanese site will take any portrait-like picture that you upload and automatically convert it into a blinking, nodding, quasi-zombie animated template ready to model various animal heads, wigs, and facial hair.
It’s easily good for 45 minutes of time wasting. Fun, fun.

Marc Maron – Grizzled Comedy Veteran (Emu -POTW)
Discovered a treat on Vimeo last night. It’s a full 70-minute stand up routine of Carlin and Hicks disciple, Marc Maron.
This routine, filmed a couple weeks ago at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade theater, will give you a good sense of Maron’s plodding, dark, self-loathing, intellectual style. He seems equally depressed as the Patron Saint Bill Hicks would be having to face a media world as over commercialized and sold out as ours is.
