Who Sings “Marie” in Lorax “Let it Grow”
I just took the kids to see “The Lorax,” and I had purchased “Let it Grow” from the soundtrack (via my iPhone) before we had walked out the theater. Zac Efron and Taylor Swift aside, that gospel song was stolen by young “Marie.” “My name’s Marie and I am THREE… I would really like to…

If She’s Pretty and Asian… She’s Probably a Computerized Virtual Composite
NOTE: Made a video about this. Watch it! So you’re trying to sell some candy in Japan (Glico’s Ice Nomi), and you sign a pop band that appears to be an SNL parody of Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show (see “fun fact” at end). Sales are up, but you decide you could sell another 30% of…
Easter “Dance Shoes Off” vs Easter Bunny Hates You
So here’s the Easter “Dance Your Shoes Off” performed by 2,000 people from the Second Baptist Church in Texas. And here’s the “Easter Bunny Hates You.” Which one’s better?

Samsung CEO Geesung Choi called Consumer Union, the non-profit product-testing organization behind Consumer Reports magazine, “not honorable.” Choi on Monday cited the October 2010 issue of the magazine, which gave Samsung low scores on high-definition and standard-definition video camcorders. “American magazine making JVC and Sony best-buy awards is insult to my family and character,” said Choi…
New McCain Girl Powns Obama Girl
Hey, common. Just a few more weeks of political satire, and we can get back to farts. YouTube’s JenLuv37 convinced her grandmother, June, to play McCain Girl. This simple video, “Oh John McCain” features her singing “Oh Johnny.” It’s a celebration of the age gap, and a wonderful parody of the Obama Girl phenomena. Seems fair game, though….
