There are lots of comedy gems with masterful presentation and editing, but this is his guide for people who want to do their own video blog, answering the perennial “How much crotch is enough?”

Master his techniques and you can produce masterworks like the really important testicle or the anti-intellectualism episode.

Email responses to my Anti-Scientology site

I’ve put online the (anonymised) feedback received over the years for my criticism of Scientology, but missing out almost all the positive stuff and going straight for the hate-mail. “Go overdose on prozac you psychiatrist-loving asshole!” writes one wag. Another asks why the scientologists are so upset about web sites when they allegedly have gained control over matter, energy space and time.

Mister Deity

A film-maker and former Mormon has created this series of short, well-produced videos on YouTube illustrating comically the idea that God might be somewhat asleep at the wheel.

Harlequin Romance Report

The Harlequin Romance Report hits us with the startling revelation that ‘more than 55% of men and 47% of women in the U.S. have sent a sexually explicit email, text or instant message to someone’ which is in Pope-still-Catholic territory …

Other smile raising / vomit inducing parts of the report include the New Romantic Man, deconstructing common relationship woes, staging a romantic intervention, test your inner romantic and Building the mold (sic) for everlasting love.

Dr. P perhaps we should revive the anti-Valentine’s Day, assertion of single-dom social get-togther?

Get a First Life

To continue the Second Life theme, why don’t you …

Second Life Safari: A Virtual Utopia

From the goons at SomethingAwful, a film that shows you what really goes on in Second Life. Warning: contains explicit sex, if in your mind a pixellated 3D-graphic animal gyrating against a blocky 3D-graphic stick human is “sex”, which to some people, as this film will show you, it is.

Literary genius

Amazon.com reviews are often the outlet for some amazing humourous writing.
