Garfunkel and Oates

Thanks Gid for recommending this wittily-named duo of cute women whose songs include “Pregnant Women are Smug”, “Me, You and Steve”, “Fuck You”, “This Party Just Took a Turn for The Douche” and lots more. As well as being all over YouTube, they have their own site. Treat yourself to gay-marriage-commentary Sex with Ducks:

Thanks Ruth for the pointer.
Update: Pharyngula reports that Dr Werner is using legal threats to try and have the video taken offline (ha, good luck with that).
Metafilter discussion. Homeopathy previously on KDnC

Speak like you mean it (VIDEO)

Poet Taylor Mali speaks out against the “aggressively inarticulate generation” (for just under 3 minutes). Ronnie Bruce accompanies the audio with delightful animated typography. The result is eloquent, absorbing and diverting.

Cassetteboy is back – woo yay! – this time editing the BNP leader’s recent BBC Question Time appearance.

A true hero

86-year-old WWII veteran Philip Spooner has become an instant national hero in the states for his contribution to a debate on gay marriage in Maine. Worth viewing in a week when hateful politics have been much in the news. (via MetaFilter and BoingBoing)

Symphony of Science

In the style of Autotune the News, this mashup sets Carl Sagan, Neil DeGrasse Tyson and others to music. Thanks Alex for the recommendation.
