The Midwest Teen Sex Show: "The First Time"
This funny and frank approach to sex education (complete with Fargo-esque accents and amusing cutaways) has a lot of promise as a series, mainly because if the Internet likes anything, it's hot young teens talking about sex. However, please note that these teens keep their clothes on. Some of the better "edutainment" I've ever seen online, though with an emphasis on the "-tainment" over the "edu-." Definitely worth following.
Barack Obama As Himself on Saturday Night Live
Hey, Saturday Night Live! I have a funny comedy sketch idea for you! What if Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and Bill Richardson and other Democrats went to a Halloween costume party? And their choice of Halloween costume directly related to their Presidential campaigns! Funny, right? Right?
Damn, you guys beat me to it. With some timely jokes about Bill Clinton's sexual proclivities, even! But I must say that I'm impressed, because you also worked in Barack Obama, wearing his Sexy Barack Obama costume. Well-played, SNL. Well-played.
Owen Wilson and Wes Anderson: Artist On Artist
It's been about two months since Owen Wilson's baffling suicide attempt, and maybe it's the split-screening enabling him to speak with Wes Anderson remotely, but he seems so sad and fragile here. It doesn't help that whoever is behind the Myspace Artist-on-Artist series is clearly shouting out questions for Wilson to parrot back to Anderson. But even if the two collaborators were able to speak freely -- about The Darjeeling Limited, about their own lives -- one imagines that Owen would still be a little disconnected from the proceedings. A little lost.
Zombies in Plain English
Zombies are a growing concern for the modern American, so we can't help but feel thankful towards Lee and Sachi LeFever's The Common Craft Show. By using a style called "papercraft" to literally illustrate the ways in which one can identify a zombie and escape their unceasing onslaught, the LeFevers are providing a much needed public service. Watch it now. Before it's too late...
24 Season 7: Kiefer Sutherland Has Yet More Torturing to Do
It's tempting to write this post as a series of random Jack Bauer facts (which are funnier than I could ever manage). But why bother? This trailer for the new season of 24, so kindly and gently introduced by Kiefer Sutherland, does all the work for you. Jack Bauer does not negotiate. Jack Bauer does not regret. Jack Bauer's gonna torture a bitch. And Jack Bauer is gonna enjoy it.
