Al Franken kicks eleventy-million kinds of ass in health-care hearing
Watch Senator Al "Kick-Ass" Franken wipe up the floor with this health-care-lobby shill from the Hudson Institute who claimed that universal healthcare would increase medical bankruptcies. This is the perfect mix of being sensible and being devastatingly sarcastic, and I love him for it. Go Al! S... More.
Dear Britain, please stop helping the fascists
By subjecting nationalist toad Nick Griffin to the Two-Minute Hate, the U.K.'s media establishment turns a fool into a victim. His dismal performance on the BBC's Question Time would have been satisfying were it not for the hand-wringing hostility that turned it into a circus. Coming next to Britai... More.
Freakonomics Sequel Gets Climate Change Wrong
The Freakonomics guys have apparently either really dropped the ball when it comes to understanding science, or they're willfully ignoring it. Either way, I'm pretty disappointed. The sequel's contrarian take on climate change--and the bad science it's steeped in--have been analyzed in exquisite de... More.
Spectator throws out public safety, embraces sensationalism and AIDS denialism
A film that denies the link between HIV and AIDS is being screened in the UK by the Spectator, in the name of "spurring debate." The Spectator's editor, Fraser Nelson, describes his motivation: "It's one of these hugely emotive subjects, with a fairly strong and vociferous lobby saying that any open... More.
Awful 1962 marriage textbook speaks out against feminism, communism and interracial dating
This 1962 high-school textbook, "When You Marry," is a long, mind-bendingly awful manual for marriage, including sticking to traditional gender roles, staying away from race-mixing, resisting communism and saving yourself for your wedding night. Love, 1962 American High School Style (via Makin... More.

Great expressions. Mugs with the best of them and he's got the head-bobbing down. Should have been an out-take from the Rutles.
GH! LM S RGHT
Hrm. Gotta say guys, this seems to have 'spoof' written all over it.
I...buried...for Paul
Ah, I see now. Funny or Die.
Carry on!
Yes, from "The White Album." You know: Charles Manson, Sharon Tate. I'm sure the video's authors are too young too remember. Never the less: too soon.
Are you being serious?
I'm adrift in a sea of irony, I think, and it's hard to tell what's intentional and what's not.
Peter Serafinwitzalkfd is just brilliant most of the time.
A beautiful start to a too-early morning. By the way, check out Serafinowicz's brilliant "Look Around You," the bright future as seen from 1980.
Robbing Paul to pay Peter??
Serafinowicz is a most prolific Tweeter too, with lots of good one-liners!
^Laughs at inappropriate times.
It's not "too soon" you just don't like dark humor. Some people do, some people don't. It probably has to do with whether or not they use laughter as a coping mechanism.
That was fantastic, and before I saw the name Peter Serafinowicz, I was inclined to believe it. After all the Beatles did put out "Run For Your Life".

Sad that some folks here seem to be taking this entirely too seriously.
If anyone's looking for the crazy part in this video, it starts about halfway through, after Sgt. Pepper.
"F'king Media Studies!!!"
ummm. I can't figure out where you and in fact, goodfight are coming from. It seems they are out to 'expose' the Beatles.
Mission accomplished. I now rate the Beatles a little bit higher having learned that they bothered with all the satanic stuff.
I mean; you gotta be reeeaaalllly convinced of your convictions before walking off down that path.
How cool is that? The Beatles were satanic.
Kudos.
@Wild Olive - The Beatles? Satanic (Troll much?)? Please.
As for the video... subtly twisted. I like it.
Hey! Could somebody please let the bouncer know when a crazy person wanders in?
