The American mythos that you can get whatever you want if you try hard enough is put to the test in this "musical docu-tragi-comedy" about one man's journey to win the heart and vajayjay of our secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice. From the trailer, which features some awesome cameos, Courting Condi looks hysterical.

Will there be a sequel, maybe titled Pining for Palin?
I guess this is a little old, but it's still funny. MadTV spoofs "So You Think You Can Dance" by featuring a dance off between Obama and McCain (played hilariously by Bobby Lee).

Us Versus Them found this video which is "fucking" hysterical. I mean, it's completely innocuous and innocent, except for the fact that it is so NOT and NOT appropriate for work, unless you work with some cool chilled out fuckers. This is definitely a top 5 of the week. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-CQkG5N5Eo]
The epic romance between Jim and Pam in the popular TV series The Office finally, FINALLY comes to an end. Give it a little time for the payoff. It's pretty hysterical. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iv8suLyJ9s]
DAMMIT, I LOVE THIS SHOW!
[Thanks Moye!]
French prankster Remi Gaillard, dressed in a full kangaroo costume, bounces around and proceeds to piss off everyone to the tune of go-go-go ska. The one with the golfer is pretty fucking hilarious. Mean, but hilarious. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0aIQxbPmCw]

I don't know who the artist is behind this piece that Simko posted on her ever designlicious blog (Ashley, maybe you can enlighten?), but what I do know is that I like it.

Harper's Magazine breaks down each literary format with succinct descriptions.
Chick Lit: A patriarchal term of oppression for heterosexual female writing; also, a marketing means to phenomenal readership and prominent bookstore space.Personal Essay: Characterized by 51 percent or more of its sentences beginning with the personal pronoun “I”; traditional narrative strategy entails doing one thing while thinking about another.

Haha.

The New York Times Lynn Hirschberg interviews actors in this series called Screen Test. The interviews are a bit self-indulgent to say the least, but I really love the lighting of the interviews and most of the interviews have one or two gem response by the actor.

Fear Factor host and comic Joe Rogan recounts on his blog witnessing a guy's first date with a girl who unbeknown to the guy was an actress performer in the porn industry. And he took photos of the happy couple.
The kid’s eyes are locked on the screen. He’s got this look in his eyes is like he really believes that his brain must be malfunctioning. Like he just can’t comprehend what he’s watching. Like as if he didn’t even know she was a porn star. His jaw drops.
After about 30 seconds of this kid standing in front of the screen, frozen in the hypnotic spell of ass, mouth, ass, mouth, ass, mouth… he turns to her asks her a question, and I hear her say, “I was gonna tell you.”
I never thought I would ever say this but God Bless Joe Rogan.
