Will Ferrell: Americans Coming Together

Filed under: Highly Comical — Tim @ 12:46 pm

While I’m hardly a fan of mobocracy, I thought this was one of the funniest parodies produced in the last couple of years.

Watch the video or the terrorists win.

Hey Hollywood, what do you think looks better?

Team America: World Police

At first I thought it would be a cheesy movie along the lines of that trite and hackneyed Pro Stars cartoon:

They are sports superstars. They are amabssadors of good will, and heroes to children all over the world. And they have bonded together to form – The Pro Stars: Bo Jackson + Michael Jordan + Wayne Gretzky

Nope.

After viewing the trailer (and DW’s musings) it looks like an old episode of the Thunderbirds. And seeing as the blokes from South Park produced it, the script will probably sound like a scatalogically inclined mixture of The Onion + Maddox + Dave Chapelle.

I can’t wait.

This is me not waiting.

Five Dolla Bullets, All Night Long

I’m still waiting on more photos to come in from the trip, until then, here are some sucky-sucky bullets:

- Flight aborted after attack of feline terror – “A cat that escaped from its cage during a Belgian commercial flight this week managed to get into the plane’s cockpit, where it scratched a co-pilot, forcing the crew to turn back and make an unscheduled landing.”

- Crowning achievements: The MFA looks at the Olympics — and Mount Olympos – Juicy details on the Original Olympic games. Read it you uncultured swine.

- Giant mutant ant colony found in Australia – “A huge ant colony measuring 100 kilometres (62 miles) across has been found under the southern Australian city of Melbourne, scientists said.”

- In Praise of Cheap Labor: Bad jobs at bad wages are better than no jobs at all. – This seven-year-old article is by none other than Paul Krugman. Upon reading this, one wonders why he advocates economic interventionism. Via Cafe Hayek.
