This is your brain on Hope

in Elections, Video

This has to be the best campaign spot I've seen in a long, loooong time.  Because I've checked back into the THF archives and it seems that the last time I felt any genuine hope was, well ... November 7th 2006.  And as good as that turned out, it wasn't nearly enough. 

I can't tell you when it happened or how I caught it, but I too have Obama Fever.

Do you?

Primitive DVD players

in Copyright / Copyfighting / Piracy, Funny, Video

I've been using computers as my video delivery system for so long that I've completely forgotten how obnoxious it is to use a dedicated DVD player.  But reality gave me a swift kick in the eyeballs during a recent hotel stay where I tried to play a DVD in their complimentary player only to realize that I am forced - yes, forced - to watch each and every precious moment of those fun-filled anti-piracy videos, followed by the interminable (literally 'without termination') FBI warning. 

To make matters worse, being a new dad I am wholly incapable of sustained viewing pleasure and frequently had to pause the video, only to engage the system's sleep program.  After which I was forced, once again, to watch the stupid warning.  Time. after. fricken'. time.

Anyway, positive spin is that it reminded me of this little gem from The IT Crowd:

Hands off My Child!

Via AmericaBlog, Chuck Todd calls this ad shameless.  As a new poppa myself, I think it is spot on and Mr. McGoo McSame McCain is the one who should be ashamed.

on a side note, C&L has the skinny on Grumpy-Puss's new record - 10 flip-flops in 2 weeks! Who says the elderly can't still show us a thing or two!

Bananas - The Atheist Nightmare!!

in Funny, Religion, Video

Thank you 80's-sitcom-star-turned-lobotomized-nutjob Kirk Cameron!  Who knew the simple banana was proof of the almighty's ultimate plan for humanity!

Honestly, I think anyone who doesn't believe in the evolutionary process is in some serious self-denial.  However, abiogenesis is another story entirely and there is PLENTY of room for a healthy debate over whether a sentient, interventionist creator put the machine in motion.  But committing your freak flag to video like this doesn't do the religious movement any favors - unless the mere existence of someone with such severe mental deficiencies is itself proof against survival of the fittest.

Kinda reminds me of the peanut butter man I posted a while back:

Countdown: "Bush, shut the hell up!"

in George W. Bush, Video

I seldom post and video clips of Olbermann's special comments because, frankly, they're all exceptional and I don't want to be in the position of being MSNBC's wire service.  But for this, I have to make an exception.  This is a stunning summary of Bush's disastrous legacy with the added bonus of proving that he lied about giving up golf.

Apologies for the two-part video - I couldn't find it in a single clip:
