A Dramatic Look: 2001 And Other Homages

Turns out that the Dramatic Chimpunk is, in fact, actually a Dramatic Prairie Dog -- and one that has captured the hearts and fancies of about a gazillion YouTube users worldwide. Say you want to see the Parie Dog serenade Eddie Murphy with the theme from The Golden Girls. Well, okay, no judgements -- here you go.

He also gets foiled, gets annihilated, gives David Caruso a run for his money, makes a cameo in a Rick Astley video, and gets caught watching bunny porn (with the soundtrack of Meg Ryan faking an orgasm, no less). But it's his film work that is truly astonishing: Kill Bill, Taxi Driver, and my favorite, the above tribute to 2001. No wonder he won an Oscar.

This has skyrocketed to the top of YouTube's most watched page, and we have no goddamn idea why. All we know is that if you have to ask, then you'll never really understand. Just enjoy.

Dear Britain, Connie Has Talent Too

After Britain's Got Talent's Paul Potts blew us away with "Nessum Dorma," we figured that Britain's talent pools were totally depleted. Oh, how nice it is to be proven wrong. Especially by a six-year-old named Connie, and the Judy Garland classic "Over The Rainbow."

I don't even LIKE this song, but I got a little teary. Whether little Conny has more in her than one verse and chorus of "Over the Rainbow" remains to be seen. But if at 6 she can melt Simon Cowell's heart, the rest of the entertainment industry shouldn't be hard to conquer.

Ach! Nessie Spotted At Last!

The probable existence of the Loch Ness Monster has always been a point of high debate, but this amateur footage, showcased on a local Scottish news broadcast, may just tip the debate towards the side of the believers.

No one is sure whether Nessie is potentially a threat to humans, but innkeepers and bartenders of northern Scotland should prepare for a mass attack from a much more dangerous creature: the tourist.
