David Parmet pointed me to these Pledge Week extravaganzas.
My fave:
Surviving members of every 50s doo-wop band fight to the death with clubs — shirtless and totally coked-up — in massive Thunderdome-like arena
Merlin Mann is a god. One of the minor deities, but a deity nonetheless.
Some additions:
- Celtic Women v. The Three Tenors in a massive glass-breaking, heavy metal tribute to Metallica!
- Civil War outtakes — “Dear Ma,… General Grant has given the soldiers with one leg the afternoon off from ditch digging, god bless him…” (David Parmet)
- Ken Burns vs the Celtic Woman in a nude mud wrestling match.. with fire!!! (David Parmet)
- Cirque du Soleil performing with live wolverines
- Ken Burns and Bill Moyers fighting for the right to interview what’s left of Nixon
STOP. THE. AWFUL. PLEDGE. DRIVES!
