Kevin: no longer thinks joke at his expense
Bacon seems a bit overcooked.
From the way Kevin Bacon describes it, we like SixDegrees.org’s mission, but maybe the perennial over-actor should’ve warmed up or had a green tea or something before reading this earnestly chic welcome statement for the website. What’s with the wooden gesticulation? This performance makes his character from “A Few Good Men” look positively loose. And what’s going on with Bacon’s head? From the looks of things, it’s at least six degrees crooked. And, we’re a little afraid to “see causes that mean something to celebrities.” By all means, weigh in with some of your favorites in the comments section.
“NYC’s True Graffiti Problem”
It's an ad, ad, ad, ad world.
Topics: Advertising, New York City
This video was made by the Graffiti Research Lab, a group that, according to their website are “Dedicated to outfitting graffiti artists with open source technologies for urban communication.” Hmm. So here’s their point about advertising being the real graffiti.
“24: Aqua Teen Hunger Force”
This may take a while for Jack Bauer to explain later.
Topics: 24
Jack Bauer doesn’t screw around — ever. Here he is — all-biz, per usual — going up against the Aqua Teen Hunger Force. He can’t explain it to you now, it’s too complicated, but he’ll explain later — presumably when he’s done torturing the meatball (aka “Meatwad”). (Created by National Lampoon.)
“The Reagans on Drugs”
Nancy: "The cocaine makes me happy"
Topics: Ronald Reagan
Here’s a viral mashup video that has somehow passed us by on its rise. This is not quite how we remembered Nancy’s war on drugs, but it’s much funnier than those recollections. There are some particularly startling revelations around 5:15. And, maybe this video finally provides an explanation for this.
“Medieval Helpdesk”
Technological advances have posed problems for ages.
Here’s a sketch from the Norwegian Broadcasting television channel program “Cystein og meg.” While the production value may leave a little to be desired, the premise is pretty good. We’d like a sequel where the befuddled reader winds up calling a Dell 1-800 number in El Salvador for a refresher course.

The George Brett pine tar incident
On the occasion of spring training, revisiting a classic baseball moment.
Topics: Baseball
We love baseball spring training. It’s bright and sunny in Florida and Arizona, and the games played now promise the official games of spring and summer are right around the corner. Here is one of our favorite baseball moments of yesteryear, the 1983 George Brett pine tar incident, on demand thanks to YouTube. Cue to around 3:20 if you want to zip ahead to moment of impact. Three weeks until the regular season haul gets underway!
