There is No "I" in Halloween

It's not easy being vampire pimp. This is actually a party invite for a Birthday Bash I went to a few weeks ago, but I love the vid and it makes me excited for Halloween.



A true tale about the dark creators that lurk in the night. My first thought, this dude looks like Christian Bale. And in this amazing vamp pad, he might as well be.

I may have watched this vid about a half dozen times since the party to get me in the mood for Halloween. And let it be known that being from Massachusetts, I take the holiday's cross dressing and ghost scaring seriously. People have died over this stuff.

When the hunky vamp pulls the fake vamp teeth out of his pocket, I almost died. A subtle spoof on "protection," he converts his hot lady friend for some all-out sloppy smooching. I could go on for another graph or so about the numorous reason that I love this video, but since I actually know these guys, I'm both partial and slightly nervous of them knowing my twisted inner thoughts.

I hear that originally there was a three in a half minute version that was just as spooktacular. I'm trying to convince them to let me have a sneak peek at the unreleased version. Love these guys!

Please comment and tell me what you think!

Lil' Bush "Nuked" Episode

I wish that Bring your Child to Work Day was this distructive when I was a kid.



Usually, I was stuck in some conference room with a TV and a handful of Disney movies on VHS.

This animated series created by Amp'd Mobile features all the spoils and world domination plots that one would expect of Bush as a child. And even better, it miniaturizes all the
President's closest political confidants and makes them his playmates.

The concept of such well-known national figures being recreated as younger versions of themselves reminds me of the animated TV show Clone High. The series, which lasted on MTV for less than half a season, featured such historical big wigs as Abraham Lincoln, Cleopatra, and Gandhi and put them in high school together. Arguably the most brilliant shows ever created for MTV! Currently in it's second episode, I hold lil' Bush in equally high regard.

My personal highlights of this episode are when Bush gets bullied in school by Kin Jung Il, the inability of the Cheney's to utter a comprehensive thought, and Bush bombing lil' Mikey Moore and the Blue States.

For more lil' Bush check out the pilot titled "hot dogs".

Hebrew Crunk!

In order to revitalize young Jewish people's in the Holy New year's rituals, Taglit-isreal presents the following...



This animated sampling mixes a beat sounding similar to Ludacris's Money Maker with the blaring of the holiday's Shofar, a trumpet is an essential part of the Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services.

I think that it's interesting that a religious foundation that organizes "birth-right" trips to the "Holy Land" would promote this video as a way to make the high holiday appeal to the younger or YouTube generation.

This viral, at a glance, may appear offensive to the religious nature of the Rosh Hashanah. Rosh Hashanah, the celebration of the New Year, is the most important and widely celebrated Jewish holiday. Though not a member of the religion, even I can see how the Rabbi rocking out on a ceremonial horn could ruffle a few feathers. I can only imagine what the parents, who have never even heard of Crunk, might think of this.

All seriousness aside, I do think this video is absurd and well conceived. Nothing says "celebration" to the MTV or video-hosting crowd like a booty shaken rap video. But there is one thing I am still having difficulty deciding... which is more crunk, the gold teeth or the booties on 'dem apples?

White and Nerd

For most pop culture artists, it would be difficult to keep a niche genre alive twenty three years after they started it.



But Weird Al takes Chamillionaire's popular song "Ridin (Dirty)" and transforms it into cult-worthy comedic farse.

Best known for song parodies, Yankovic's cheeky humor is most effective when contrasting the style of the song with its content or when pointing out trends that have become pop culture clichés. "White in Nerdy" is from "Weird Al" Yankovic's new album "Straight Outta Lynwood" that's available in stores Sept. 26.
