I know what you're saying: Didn't the Whig Party disband in 1856?

Yes, but don't tell these guys. You'll just ruin it for them.

A couple of guys with a guitar, video camera and high school letterman's jackets bring us their own version of the Nickleback song "Photograph." I never did like that song -- it was a bit overdone for my taste -- so this version absolutely cracked me up.

This video is PG-13. Consider yourself warned.

If you're going to Beijing, the folks at The Onion urge you to watch your step. Walk around anything that's covered with tree branches and dead leaves.

I was tempted to post yet another Dark Knight clip, but decided against it -- another Batman video and we may have to rename the blog. So I'm bringing you this from Black20.com instead:

Some fresh (and funny) political parody from JibJab. Republicans and Democrats share in the insults, but what about the other parties? No Libertarian jokes?

The movie isn't out yet (one more day and then midnight IMAX showing, baby!) but these guys have already done an almost shot-for-shot remake of the trailer. That's some geek love.

Check it out, it's really done well. (and also our Dark Knight news)

Look, I think iPhones are spiffy and all, but I'll be damned if I can afford one. I'll hold onto my old Nokia until iPhones became far less hip (and therefore cheaper).

In the meantime, I've got to imagine a lot the people who rushed out and bought an iPhone last year are feeling sort of like this guy.

Enough with the singing. McCain is turning to his secret weapon, the product of a decades-old top secret military experiment.

True story: When I was a kid, I really wanted to go to Space Camp. I even read the book version of the movie "Space Camp," which I bought at my school book fair. (I never saw the movie "Space Camp," oddly enough.)

After watching this clip, I think I was lucky to never fulfill my Space Camp destiny.

I have teenagers and I've thought long and hard about talking to them about sex, drugs and light sabers. But I just keep putting it off. I mean, light sabers aren't a gateway weapon anyway. What's the harm in a little fencing with laser swords? We all sowed our wild oats:

The New York Times reported last week that Americans just aren't spending their stimulus checks. You know, the $600 checks you're supposed to be cashing to run up higher credit card debt.

Nope. It turns out that responsibility may be breaking out across the land and people are actually putting that money in savings or paying off late mortgages. Where it helps absolutely no one but themselves.

How selfish.

OK, gas is $4 a gallon, and the cost of food, clothing and bottled water is rising exponentially. But aren't you sick, I mean really sick, of this endless parade of consumer gurus telling you how to save a buck?

So check out Mark Erickson, the host of Infinite Solutions, the show that teaches you how to keep your produce fresh, find tiny dinosaurs, slim down your Itunes Library and other meaningless tasks that will make your life infinitely more complicated because you've wasted valuable time thinking about it

First, let's look at Mark's latest: NY on $100 a day.

(Note: there are no German ambassadors handing out dollar bills in Central Park. If you see someone dressed in wooden clogs, avoid them and don't ask them for money. Also, there are no "Firearm Fridays" at the Empire State Building. And it wasn't named after philanthropist Frederick J. Building.)

So the South Florida Sun-Sentinel is now getting press releases for viral videos. Seriously.

Here's one that came to us yesterday for a South Florida comedian:

Comedian Will Hatcher's YouTube video titled "Scrub in the Tub" a parody of R&B artist Usher's new single "Love in the Club" landed in the #1 spot today on YouTube. College Comedian Will Hatcher is no stranger to YouTube his 1st parody video "Crank that Homeless Man" based off of the 2007 summer hit "Crank Dat Soldier Boy,"by rapper Soulja Boy had over 5 million views. A stand up comedian and actor, Hatcher started creating Sketch Comedy and Parody Videos based off of current events and Hip-Hop Music videos in 2007.

Since they sent us a nice press release, here's the video. Can't figure out why he has a can of Scrubbing Bubbles bathroom cleaner in the tub with him.
