Video Killed the Broadband Connection... er... Radio Star

[tennis_bear]

Some video selections, for your perusal... (Note: all links in this post open into a brand spanking new window.)

• Real Life vs. The Internet from GPrime.net . I find this one hilarious even though I don't get the videogame reference at all. It's just damn funny, IMHO. Ooooh, I just realized that they've got other videos too...
   
• Steven Colbert is on crack -- and thank heavens, because he makes me laugh so! Here's Colbert doing his O'Reilly imitation/skewering spiel to perfection (with help from Conan O'Brien), and Colbert expertly doing his pre-show banter (or should I say "pli-srow danter"?) with Jon Stewart of The Daily Show. A bonus for my fellow Mac Geeks: Colbert "grills" (or attempts to, anyway) Steve Wozniak -- I leave it to you to decide whether his totally wrong pronunciation of "iWoz" is on purpose or not.
   
• Is the Steve Wozniak reference not a great segue into these spoof "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" skits by Canadian sketch comedy troupe TrueNuff? The original Apple ads they are spoofing (which are fun all by themselves) can be found here. BTW, the Apple ads do indeed star former Vassar student (not sure if he graduated) Justin Long
   
• The hilarious "I'm Wayne Brady, bitch" skit from Chappelle's Show, my first YouTube link in this post. While we're over here in YouTube, take a look at Carlos Mencia's Wetback Mountain if you missed it the first time around...

And finally one serious video in the bunch: A Girl Like Me, a sobering short film on how far we've got to go in the struggle for self-love in the African-American community. Tagline: "Color is more than skin deep for young African-American women struggling to define themselves." I sent an email out to some of y'all last month with this link, just sharing it here in LJ for posterity and a possibly-interested wider audience.

Now that you're done burning through your broadband/work Internet connection... *wink*
