Friday Videos - Feb. 5th, 2010

Slight snafu this afternoon with my site getting exploited / hacked in some way. I guess that's what you get for running a near 10-year old version of Moveable Type to power your blog. Guess who'll be writing some PHP scripts this weekend? This guy! Anyway, enjoy the playlist, albeit a bit paltry this week.

• Patrick Stewart on Twitter - or, rather, why he's not on Twitter. His love of the iPhone and email is astounding tho.
• Lasagna Cat Minus Lasagna Cat - as if the original weren't weird enough, the redux without Lasagna Cat is ridiculous.. but sort of perfect in its own way. Especially the soundtrack.
• The Fountainhead in 5 Seconds - absolute perfection.
• 30 Rock: Laser Shield - I am sure everyone who reads this site already watches 30 Rock but I've found myself rewatching this scene over and over and over. It's one of their silliest moments but it's hysterical because of the deadpan delivery.
• Jon Stewart on Bill O'Reilly - not so much "funny" as it is admirable. Jon Stewart is incredibly smart, amusing and pulls no punches when confronted about his opinion on things. It's silly that The Daily Show could be viewed as a source of legitimate news but he really plays no favorites.. he may be left leaning but he is the most "balanced" of them all when it comes to calling out shenanigans.

Bonus Alaska Nanooks 2010 Hockey Intro - how have I not posted this yet? I saw this last week and it is, easily, the most outrageous and entertaining pieces of video work that I've encountered in some time. I absolutely love that this team mascot destroys the Earth as part of his journey to get the crowd hyped. Yet another stub in my "Why I Don't Understand Sports" book... but it is truly epic and worth at least 5 viewings.

Have a great weekend.. hopefully the site stays intact from here on out!
