InterNetwork
by Tess Lynch
Without the internet, there is also no place for stuff like this.
I’ve not been terribly affected by the writer’s strike — partially because I just got TiVo for my boyfriend (read: also myself) for Christmas, so there’s a backlog of documentaries of weird illnesses and the like, and partially because I wasn’t, you know, working on a show that’s now on indefinite hiatus. I have some friends who have lost their jobs because of the strike; while that’s sad and all, it’s really not as bad as when we all start losing our minds because, after the episodes air that were in the can before the strike aired, THERE IS NO GOOD TV. Except Moment of Truth, my most highly-anticipated reality show/game show event since Temptation Island.

Anyway, now is the time to look to the web for entertainment, get some AV cables, and pretend that everything is fine, just fine. Here’s a starter list for some of the better videos we’ve seen on the ‘net, some of which are getting buzz and some of which aren’t yet; if you have more you’d like to share, please give ’em up in comments or through electronic mail (I hear that shit lands in your inbox IMMEDIATELY!).
I’ve listed the videos by name (the name is the link to their homepage, if they have one); the link to the featured video is below it, and if I really, really liked it I embedded the video IN UR BRAIN.
LET US BEGIN WITH AN INTRODUCTION WITH DAVID CROSS AND RICHARD BELZER:
A prime example of one of the “writers strike genre” videos, this United Hollywood video features otters, Richard Belzer and David Cross:

This Recording 
FOR MGMT FANS! http://mgmt.imeem.com/video/V3vx5CAD/mgmt_time_to_pretend_music_video_premiere_music_video/
belatedly speaking of MGMT, I can now say that they are overpoweringly unimpressive live – like, We Are Scientists levels of unimpressive.
I could have told you that. I wanted to go to that show for Yeasayer and Yeasayer alone.
“Yeah it’s overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?”
Profound, dudes
also, in retrospect, this piece is tragically bereft of this:
I don’t care how much it’s been memeraped, that’s still some good shit.
