Will Ferrell and Jack Black sing at the oscars

clipper's remarks: I wish I'd seen this live! Will Ferrell & Jack Black team up in this funny number about being a "comedian at the Oscars". I don't think I realized how similar their comedy was until watching this. They both go from sincere to over the top in a flash!

clipper's remarks: The image is a little too big, but it was too funny not to clip. I'll be watching the keynote very closely, as I'm buying a new macbook, and I've been waiting to make sure there weren't any surprise announcements (like, say, a quad core macbook pro).

"Most women who like artificial trees have artificial breasts" - O'Reilly

Fri, 22 Dec 2006 22:49:12 GMT

clipped by: ericskiff
clipper's remarks: I think O'Reilly was trying to be funny. Either that, or he was trying to steal the media spotlight from The Donald and Rosie for a moment

Clip Source: mediamatters.org

While discussing the results of a recent Rasmussen poll on Christmas on the December 19 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, Bill O'Reilly stated that "most women who like artificial trees ... have artificial breasts." O'Reilly sourced "a study done" at "UCLA in L.A." in making his claim.

O'REILLY: Sixty-two percent of Americans will have a Christmas tree, but most of the trees will be artificial.

O'REILLY: Yeah. And here -- and here's a very -- here's something that Rasmussen didn't poll but I know, that most women who like artificial trees --

O'REILLY: -- have artificial breasts.

SNL releases uncensored "Special Treat" on youtube

Thu, 21 Dec 2006 16:25:39 GMT

clipped by: ericskiff
clipper's remarks: We had this on at a holiday party last weekend, but I missed this one. Very funny, and cool that NBC is starting to wake up to the fact that showing their content on the internet helps bring in viewers.

Clip Source: www.nytimes.com

The nearly three-minute digital film, shown on “Saturday Night Live” last Saturday, was a parody of two boy-band singers (including one played by the real Justin Timberlake) crooning a holiday song about making a gift to their girlfriends of their male anatomy, which they appeared to have wrapped in boxes (strategically placed) and then topped with bows.

Given the subject matter, it was little surprise that NBC bleeped a recurring word in the chorus 16 times. But soon after the broadcast concluded at 1 a.m. Sunday, viewers who’d seen the bit on TV (and others who had just heard about it) could find the uncensored version online. That’s because the network itself had placed it on its own Web site (nbc.com) and YouTube.com, under the headings “Special Treat in a Box” or “Special Christmas Box.”

In less than a week the official uncensored version of the video has been viewed by over two million people on YouTube alone. In the process “Saturday Night Live” appears to have become the first scripted comedy on a broadcast network to use the Web to make an end-run around the prying eyes of both its internal censors and those of the Federal Communications Commission, whose jurisdiction over “Saturday Night Live” effectively ends at the Web frontier.

Gifts labeled for holiday buying convenience

clipper's remarks: More funny stuff from newsbiscuit. Who hasn't grabbed something from a department store at the last minute thinking "it'll have to work..."

Clip Source: newsbiscuit.com

Leading department stores are making Christmas shopping easier this year by adding guidance stickers for vaguely appropriate Christmas gifts.

The new coding system enables shoppers to quickly evaluate the value and apparent ‘thought’ that has gone into each present so that customers can make the right choices for family and friends. Labels include ‘Oh That’ll Do’, ‘Sort of in the Right Area’ and ‘Appropriateness Will Need To Be Explained After Opening’. The labels have already been stuck on a large numbers of Christmas gift ideas in major department stores and have been broadly welcomed by busy shoppers. Jenny Carter from Birmingham said; ‘I was trying to think what to get for my brother in Germany who has never sent me so much as a card and suddenly saw this sticker on Jeffrey Archer’s Prison Diary that said ‘‘It’s shit, but it’s all he deserves’. It was perfect.’

Funny Zune vs Ipod spoof from Microsoft

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 20:12:37 GMT

clipped by: ericskiff
clipper's remarks: I can't really agree with the video, since sharing music Zune to Zune is a temporary thing, even if you own all the copyrights, but it's an interesting "we can be snarky too" dig from [url="htp://clipmarks.com/tags/microsoft/"]Microsoft[/url].

Clip Source: www.engadget.com

Like you, we've seen a number of spoofs of the "I'm a Mac, and I'm a PC" ads. But most of them just make fun of the whole concept, rather than take on Apple, or a particular Apple product, directly. Well, Microsoft's just produced yet another rather clever parody pitting a Zune-toting PC with an iPod-carrying Mac, and apparently screened the ad at a recent company meeting. The sticking point is how "difficult" it is to get music onto the iPod versus how "simple" it is on the Zune. Not that we think the iPod is a paragon of usability, but we can't not bring up the fact that we'd love to see Microsoft live up to its claim and really make getting music as easy as pushing a single button. Anyway, you can catch the video on the next page.
