The Chaser

The Chaser (Australia’s version of The Onion) made the news twice last week with their TV show:

An Australian kid duped Youtube into removing Chaser clips and one of the Chaser hosts got close to Hillary Clinton.

Here’s one of their skits goofing on the words ‘Al-Qaeda’ and ‘terrorist’ and here is Hillary Clinton on the Chaser:

The Zimmers

Watch the video for The Zimmers’ version of “My Generation”. The kicker here is that they’re all elderly, the singer is 90 for God’s sake. Nice.

Copy, Right?

While going through my bookmarks in a vain attempt at spring cleaning I noticed that Copy, Right? is not only still around, it’s still great. If cover songs are your thing, check out the tunes. If they’re not, check it out anyways. Come on, everyone loves a bizarre cover of “Hollaback Girl”.

The Swankpad

The Swankpad has lots of goodies, but the scans from a 1951 edition of “Household Magazine” are great. I can’t believe Crisco once used the tagline “it’s digestible!”.

Lunarama

More sites need to be useful like this one, Lunarama is a user-driven guide to “all-night restaurants and joints” across the United States. Boston is so lame, I’m not surprised to see only 4 listed here, and only one I’ve actually been to (South Street Diner for the curious, check the pie selection!).
