John Hodgman in BBtv's SPAMasterpiece Theater, Vol III: THE STOMATOLOGIST.


Today on Boing Boing tv, we reprise our ongoing SPAMasterpiece Theater series, featuring author, PC, and minor television personality John Hodgman, whose new book, MORE INFORMATION THAN YOU REQUIRE, has just been released.

Hodgman himself describes this series as the dramatization of "true tale[s] of romance, adventure, infamy, and low-cost prescription drugs, all culled from the reams of actual, unsolicited emails, received here by us and people like you -- what we call SPAM."

Today's installment: The Stomatologist, in which we answer a lovelorn Russian woman's age-old question, "Why I cannot find my special the man?"

A note from our musical director: The adaptation of Jean-Joseph Mouret's "Rondeau: Fanfare" (1735) which opens today's episode was remixed in flagrante 8-bit by Hamhocks Buttermilk Johnson.

Also: a special and hearty thanks to the talented and generous Ehrich Blackhound (previously boinged here) for creating our new, typographically-correct opening slates for this parody series.

The problem with that Russian woman is that she doesn't know how to look at pictures of men in underwear and drool over Paul Newman & George Clooney. Wassa mattar?

When I was living in Poland, I kept seeing signs reading STOMATOLOGIA (I forget the exact ending) and wondered why there were so many stomach doctors around. A friend finaly pointed out that a stomatologue is a dentist ;)

Thank you, Xeni.
I especially like the shot of Jesse Hall (University of Missouri -- Columbia).

Special the man, indeed!

When that dreadful, dreadful ad came on in the middle of this piece, I was sure she was saying "Crapfire.net".

I think that's much better than Crowdfire. That'll be £500 please.
