I wanted to share this great clip featuring one of my favorite comedians, Ricky Gervais. I’m amazed at the flack regarding the “Celebrity Lullaby” song, but I think it’s awesome. Yeah, why not point out there are celebrities on this show? It’s what keeps parents tuned in with the kids rather than plopping them down and walking away.

It proves why Sesame Street is such a great show. They’ve adapted to the times and needs of parents and kids. This clip is brilliant. But check out the insane comments on YouTube. Adults breaking down to f-bombs between each other.

Anyway, happy new year to everyone. It feels like it’s been 3 years packed into one, but the third act at the end of this year brought us our daughter, and I’m forever grateful for that. Here’s to 2010 and maybe more time to blog. I doubt it… but whatevs.

Now I can see why it needed to be pulled down. Might not have been as good as some of the other parody stuff we’ve seen before like the “Truth in Advertising” series. First picked up on this at AdRants but the video was pulled. Still, a funny write up on it… wroth a read:

We all know clients can be abusive assholes but a good agency knows how to deal with difficult clients. It doesn’t curl up in the fetal position. It doesn’t bend over and say pack my fudge. And it doesn’t create some whiny-ass “disease” so pansies without a backbone can blame a medical issue for their lack of client management skills.

Tooling around Charter’s On-Demand system, I find that they have a whole music video section. This is great for a lazy fool like me who doesn’t want to wait for his music to show up once a week on MTVU. Now that we have every channel, it’s tempting to watch videos again… but the Music Choice menu had a lot a great stuff… like the new single from The Doves, “Kingdom of Rust.” I love it… really excited to get this!

Filmed really well… directed by China Moo-Young. Sad and nostalgic… I love how they leave it open… and everyone has a different takeaway at the ending. Love the Ford Granada too, quite clean. This is her second video… first one was Keith’s “Lullaby.”

Now, another video I fancied was Depeche Mode’s “Wrong.” Cool, creepy and kept me watching because that song gets really repetitive. I haven’t listened to the new album, but I was a fan back in the day. Suppose I still am. Watch “Wrong” at YouTube… (DM refused to let us embed! Cheeky bastards…)

18 minutes, and I watched it all in one sitting. That takes a lot to keep me that still. Wow. Check out the talents of Nathan “Flutebox” Lee and Beardyman from the UK.
