The Muppets doing Bohemian Rhapsody, possibly the best video I’ve ever seen.

Intervention of the Day: Comedian / con artist Skyler Stone decided to stage a “vampire intervention” for a group of rabid Twilight fans (is there any other kind?) under the guise of a special satellite screening of New Moon.

I’ll admit, it’s kinda on the mean side — but his heart is in the right place. See here for more on how the Twilight vampires are not vampires.

Twilight fans get punked, this is just too perfect.

SARAH PALIN PARKING LOT

America, I Am Disappoint of the Day: Sarah Palin supporters, gathered outside a Going Rogue book signing event in Columbus, Ohio, are presented with basic questions about her policy positions.

Vacularity ensues.

You guys. This isn’t about America or Sarah Palin. This is about the fact that there’s a celebrity in Columbus, Ohio and they’re all freaking out. I am not feeling super creative today, but let’s just say that it was Carrot Top in there signing a book? They’d all be like “Carrot Top changed the face of comedy. He’s original. We need more people like that.”

These people are in freak out mode because they are about to meet someone they think is famous, that’s all. Do you know that once I had to talk to Adrianne Curry from America’s Next Top Model for an interview, and then for like two years I told everyone I met that I thought she was a really strong woman and I admired her?

I didn’t really think that about Adrianne Curry. These people don’t really think that about Sarah Palin. They’re just freaking the fuck out because they live in Columbus, OH and it’s kind of a big deal that she’s there and these people clearly aren’t the brightest anyway.

Beside, we got Obama, didn’t we? And we got Levi Johnston barely legal body in a shower. We’re still winning. This says nothing about America.

what does this prove other than pre-established notions in our heads? are we trusting jay leno to administer iq and sat tests now too? go outside and ask random strangers about obama policies and they’ll give the same dumb fucking answers. hell, ask them anything about anything and it’s likely you’ll have enough footage of dumbshit moments to string together a youtube videos.

Your comparison isn’t valid. This is not the same as asking random strangers questions. These are people who support a politician and her policies, yet apparently know nothing about either. They’re waiting in line to meet someone they want to be President of the United States of America, and none of them can answer any questions about anything, all they do is regurgitate the garbage Faux News and the other right-wing talking heads spout.
