Demetri Martin On YouTube, On YouTube
So, I guess it's official: Demetri Martin is the voice of our generation. Wait. How'd that happen? Was there a memo? A poll on Gawker? Some kind of email forward? I should probably check my spam filter...
Anyways, this very funny take on the Viacom-YouTube lawsuit does actually cover the basic concepts of the situation. Namely, that this is a power scrabble between two multinational conglomerates over who controls the eyeballs of punk kids -- punk kids who no matter what will figure out a way to keep stealing media.
So please enjoy this YouTube clip. Don't whine about it, Daily Show. You can't say you didn't see it coming.
UPDATE: The Demitri Martin clip has been removed from YouTube but is still available on the Viacom owned iFilm.
UPDATE: The clip has its embed feature disabled. Meaning: the clip is only available on the iFilms site, Comedy Central's website, and of course a Tivo near you.

America Ferrera Wins Golden Globe
After falling in love with America Ferrera for her breakout role in Real Women Have Curves, watching Ferrara accept the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Television Series (Comedy) makes us tear up with Ugly Bette's starlet.
Hopefully, the acceptance speech of the curvaceous, Honduran femme will send a message to Hollywood about celebrating diversity, both of body type and of ethnicity.
By beating out stick figures like Marcia Cross and Mary-Louise Parker, Ferrara's win makes the most powerful of statements about the triumph of a good spirit over superficiality. Plus, her winning means that we get to see more of her purple dress. And we really like her purple dress. It's pretty.
