I should've seen this coming: Barely Political, the folks behind "I Got a Crush on Obama," is weighing in with a funny song about political sex scandals.
Sample lyric:
So many wives have been betrayed,
But what good is power if you can't get laid?
You ought to consider this one NSFW. [Via MilkandCookies]
The incomparable "Every Sperm is Sacred" scene from Monty Python's Meaning of Live is quintessential Python: Edgy, funny, sacrilegious, insightful, very British, and delightfully over the top.
This one may offend a few people, but if you haven't seen it and have 10 minutes for what some consider one of the funniest scenes in movie history, here you go. (This should be considered NSFW, in case that wasn't evident.)
Perhaps no one else will find this funny, but I giggled through much of it.
First of all, you should know what Steampunk is. If not, this is a recent trend towards making useful things in a handcrafted way that recalls the design ethic of the Victorian or early industrial/steam era. You can learn more on Wikipedia.org.
Secondly, a certain love of geek and masturbation humor wouldn't hurt.
Enjoy Merlin Man speaking about his love of Steampunk...

Thanks to Thom for sharing this. A week ago I shared the hilarious Sarah Silverman/Matt Damon video that seemed to end the infamous "feud" between Jimmy Kimmel and Matt.
But, Jimmy found a way to top Sarah's video. I am sure I missed some of the stars that appear, but in addition to the hilarious cameos with Brad Pitt and Harrison Ford, I found the following in the "We are the world"-type choir: Don Cheadle, Rebecca Romjin, Cameron Diaz, Macy Gray, Christina Applegate, Joan Jett, Josh Groban, Dominic Monaghan, Robin Williams, Huey Lewis, and more.
The feud isn't real, but if it were, Matt Damon won it. Thanks to Jean for sharing the links!
Jimmy Kimmel bumps Matt Damon one too many times:
Matt Damon gets blown off by Jimmy's sidekick, Guillermo, at red carpet event:
Jimmy and Guillermo bump Matt off his own movie:
And Matt Damon gets the last(?) laugh with the help of Jimmy's "girlfriend," Sarah Silverman:
...in this "Umbrella" spoof from MadTV. My friend Thom suggested this one. He's a little obsessed and has started quoting from it, including lines such as "What I want is a little bit of Mandingo Love" and "We may have differed on Iraq but no one's stiffer in the sack."
This one is definitely PG-13. (The fact the FCC wants to fine stations over a few seconds of naked buttocks but misses the not-so-subtle innuendo in skits like this goes to show the inanity in government censorship, doesn't it?)
You've hard of TGI Fridays? Then how about IFH Mondays.
This "ad" is not safe for work and features small bits of David Spade (so you've been warned), but I smiled:
As a movie fan, I tend to agree with Mr. Lynch...
I'm confused as to which is the appropriate approach. (But I know which is the funnier approach!)
I wasn't going to post this. It's pretty much the most evil thing I can recall. This video is by the Westboro Baptist Church (those lovely and kind folks who scream “God Hates Fags” and protest at the funerals of fallen service men and and women). They rewrote the lyrics to "We are the World" (and I hope they get their asses sued right out of existence.)
With lyrics like "You are all in the devil's family and you're all headed straight to hell," this video is damn near unwatchable. But, I found it a good reminder this holiday season that being "religious" and "faithful" is no guarantee of goodness. Peace on Earth and Goodwill to Men can come from people of all stripes, and not just the folks you'll find in church on the 25th. Particularly not the folks at the Westboro Baptist Church.
Watch the final 30 seconds to cement your feelings about the good people at the Westboro Baptist Church. May the folks in this video find the true meaning of Christmas this holiday season.

It ain't much of a video, but this audio track is worth three minutes to hear.
I once had a friend who convinced a telemarketer calling to offer him free dance lessons that he was a former dancer crippled in a car accident that took the life of his beloved wife and dance partner. The telemarketer was moved to tears and never called back again.
This tactic is an even more fun way to deal with those annoying telemarketing calls:
I'm no prude, but can't we find a way to fight breast cancer without getting crass?
The latest trend seems to vaguely offensive T-shirts and sites dedicated to raising money for breast cancer research and care. Who can protest such a noble cause? But do we really need sites like SaveTheTatas.com and Jingle Jugs?
And what adult in their right mind would purchase a shirt for their young daughter reading "Save the Ta-Tas"?!? That's like asking for a suspension from school and a visit from child protective services. Heck, how about T-shirts for kids that read, "I like dicks" to support testicular cancer or "Take one up the ass" to remind people to fight colon cancer with regular colonoscopies?
And considering these companies only "give a portion" of their proceeds to charities, why not just give your cash directly to the charity and let your money go farther for a good cause?
Remember in the old days, when you'd have to turn to Playboy instead of PETA when you wanted to see sexy, half-naked babes?
I have no idea if these sorts of ads and videos work to change minds about going vegan or improving treatment of animals, but I'm not complaining. Enjoy Alicia Silverstone and Dita Von Teese for PETA...
Pat Condell is a very interesting guy. Whether you find him interesting and offensive, or interesting and infuriating, or interesting and sensible depends a lot on your own personal view of Jesus, Allah, or faith in general, because Pat is an atheist and speaks his mind freely.
Pat has made a bit of a cottage industry of something quite simple. He looks directly into a camera and says what he's thinking. He is clearly a clever and bright guy, but his frankness and his views have caused some to label him racist (when he speaks of the "Myth of Islamophobia") or anti-Christian (such as when he declares Jesus was a storybook character.)
I don't always agree with Pat, but I think he's a thoughtful guy. And a brave one. How many of us would have the balls to stare into a camera, give our name, and speak directly to Osama ("if he's watching") (which he may be, considering Pat's videos have been viewed around 1.5 million times on YouTube):
"As for Iraq, well you know as well as I do that virtually everybody on the planet wants the troops out of Iraq now, except for the idiot in the White House. The same one that you helped get reelected, by the way, the last time you popped up on our screens. Remember, you interfering son of a bitch? Because the truth is you wanted the war to continue every bit as much as he did. You wanted Muslims slaughtered and at each other's throats, purely to embarrass the Americans, which is all you really care about, isn't it? You hypocrite."We may think it, but would we say it on the Internet for everyone to see?
Here is an idea destined to win over the hearts and minds of conservative Muslims in Iraq. Nothing says "America isn't a cesspool of sin" like a plastic set of boobs that sing when you walk past. You too can "Send a Rack to Iraq."
For just $32.99 you can support the troops--not by asking your representatives in Washington to end the war so that the troops can leave a civil war and return to safety--but by sending them a fake pair of breasts that "move in a rhythmic motion to the song 'Titties & Beer.'" What more could a soldier want--other than some armor plating for their humvees, better vet benefits, or a ticket home?
Thanks to Jean for sharing this.
I wasn't going to post this video. It's been buzzing all over the Internet for days and has received 8.4 million hits on YouTube, but I still wasn't going to share or comment on it. Chris Crocker seems mentally unstable and I find this video uncomfortable and unpleasant, so it wasn't going to get posted on MartyFeldmanizeMe.com.
But then I saw Seth Green's hilarious take on the video, and I couldn't post Seth without referencing the original. So, here is the Internet phenomena that is Chris Crocker. Perhaps I shouldn't enjoy Seth mocking someone who seems pretty ill, but then again, maybe someone who's this ill should stop posting videos to YouTube for the world to see (and mock).
First, here is Chris Crocker's weepy plea that we leave poor Britney alone:
And here is Seth Green's response:
This video is NSFW, then it's not, then it's NSFW, then it's not, then it's NSFW... oh, just watch the video and you'll understand (but make sure bosses, children, and other sensitive people aren't around).
Here is one site's take on 25 cover songs that they believe are better than the originals. I can't say I agree with many of them, but different strokes for different folks. They managed to miss my all time favorite cover--Snake River Conspiracy's version of The Cure's Lovesong. It's deliciously loud and noisy!
Enjoy this fun white boy rap from STD--Schaffer the Darklord.
When a rapper says throw your hands up, I don't.
When a rapper says make some noise, I won't.
Bossing your audience is awfully pompous,
So I'll never do it--that's the STD promise.
I'll never battle rap, or rap like a black,
And I'll never try to lose sight of just where I'm at.
God damn it! Hey I'll never do that again,
And by that I mean end a sentence with a preposition.
I'm not really sure the purpose of this site. The home page states, "In an effort to better understand society's interconnected nature, this database was created to serve as a repository for information regarding the sexual histories of individuals, across the world and throughout time."
Not sure if that is a valid purpose or not, but I do know that since anyone can edit anyone's sexual history, it is far more likely to be used comedy or revenge.
Or fame. You know, maybe this is my ticket to Easy Street! All I have to do is put myself into the database for Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and Britney Spears, and before long I'll have paparazzi tailing me everywhere. Since I wouldn't actually touch any of them with a 10-foot pole (ahem--I don't mean to brag or anything), I'll add some famous gals I wouldn't mind getting close too--Scarlett Johansson, Alyssa Milano, and Penelope Cruz. Then, to class up my sexual history, I'll add Kate Winslett and Nicole Kidman. For a bit of WTF factor, I'll throw in Anne Heche and that scary woman from Trading Spouses who bellowed, "I am a God warrior!"
Oh yeah, and I suppose I should add my spouse, too.
Damn it! Someone beat me to my plan. I checked out Paris Hilton and found a list of almost 150 sexual partners. Now, that number is probably about right for Paris, but I think a few of the names on the list are highly suspect:
