Comedy - Daniel Plainview on SNL

Watch There Will Be Blood, then watch this.

Politics - Huckaboo on SNL

Funny sketch, but isn't he admitting his irrelevancy now?

PS. He's still a dangerous loony.

Theatre - The Space Meets the 'Blum

This looks ace.

Film - The Coens are at it again!

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!

Politics - Mitt's the Pits.

NY - Mob involvement in construction and waste disposal?

Well I never!

Incidentally, while researching for an appropriate picture to go with the above story, I came across this cheeky little number (click to enlarge):

The full GTA4 website is now live. I'm gonna have to decide which next-gen console I'm gonna buy soon, ain't I?

Science-tology - More Cruisal Nuttiness

Comedy - Comedic crossovers

Comedy - Arrested News Is Not Really Big News

Exciting, but this is still a ridiculous use of news reporting resources.



Why can't we all be as sensible as Montel (Vontavius) Williams:

Science-tology - Battling the geeks

Nancy Cartwright? Nooo!

Social Experiments - Stopping time

(thanks to guy at work for the link)

Comedy - Conan vs Colbert

Science-tology - Leaked Mr. Tom Cruise Video

Yes, it's reached the look-and-point stage by now, but really, what would we or the Mew be without our creepiest cult leader stroke hugely bankable superstar? This is his acceptance video for the 2005 Scientology "Freedom Medal of Valor".

There's some fabulous mad-eyed context-free laughter about 4 minutes in.

Stay tuned til the end to see Tom's leather suit, and the phrase "one billion people of earth".

Cone-oh - David Letterman Hands Over To "The New Guy"

From 1993, lads.

Technology - Fun technology fun

Doctorate students in Human-Computer Interaction and lovers of all things cool and computer-interfacy rejoice, because you're in for a treat:

• firstly, a short Guardian video reporting on some exciting new gadgets from the Consumer Electronics Show 2008 in Vegas (fun game controllers! self-driving cars!)

• and here you can find some fun Blue Peter-style videos for you to enjoy, created by the chap who seems to be writing his Doctorate on the Wii.

Great job!
