Couldn't help but to laugh at this one:

This is a hideous copy of William Burrough's apperance on Saturday Night Live in 1981 or so, extracted from a Japanese documentary. I'm posting this as a public service more than anything else, as his finally-relevant work has been ironically neglected by our generation. It's especially jarring when you consider that the "cut-up method" he experimented with helped to presage hypertext and our modern perception of semantics along with Nabokov's Pale Fire and Samuel Delaney's Dhalgren (but I'm getting a tad ahead of myself); I could never enjoy conventional science fiction in the same light after being exposed to Naked Lunch. The last minute or so is a montage of book covers set to a Dixieland jazz number.



Davis and Coltrane, enjoying a rare period of lucidity, literally midwifing the birth of modern jazz, as ably captured by CBS:

^Im surprised you're not in TLA.. in history of music we watched So What. I watched it at home too cause I found Coltrane's face blowing up really big kind of amusing...

Check out When Satire Goes Bad . It's a student doc about where offensive humor draws the limit, and it featues Brooklyn Tech's Radish club. It's my personal favorite youtube video, cause I made it. It features an Onion writer, an improv comedienne and a stand-up comedian. Go watch it, it's funny.

I really enjoyed that video. Good pick (Though I don't necessarily agree with everything that was said.)

Just an old 04 ad spoof, entitled "Bush vs. Jesus" .

Worth a laugh.
