Infected Tube

This has left us speechless at Infected Tube. The geniuses? over at the Sarah Palin Fan ClubConservatives4Palin, mashed up this video of Sarah Palin clips with R. Kelly (yes, the R. Kelly who would like to piss on you) crooning that he’s The World’s Greatest (humble what?)

Gawker had this to say:

Since most Sarah Palin fetishists think she’s Christ reincarnated with a folksy twang and fertile vagina, it stands to reason that someone would eventually make a Palin video tribute set to the music of R. Kelly. That time is now.

At first glance you’d think that this utterly hilarious compilation, featuring the music of a black man renowned for on-camera golden showers and statutory rape, was a parody made by Keith Olbermann or Bill Maher’s staffs, but it was actually put together and posted to the web this morning by the delusional wingnuts who run the Conservatives4Palin website. Prepare to be mesmerized.

We also would be doing you a great disservice if we didn’t include a copy of Conservatives4Palin’s logo, a shot of Alaskan mountains and and the Trans-Alaskan Pipeline split by Palin’s backside. Got that? Mountains, ass, and oil!

Conservatives4Palin Think She Is The World's Greatest

And here is what the naive video editor had to say:

This video was a lot of fun to make and only took a few hours (I harvested clips from other Sarah Palin “bests” out there). The main purpose of this film is to share with you some clips that you might not have seen and to uplift and encourage all of your Palin-ites out there. We support a great woman that has truly taken a stand. She’s one of the world’s greatest!

Do you think he knows this song was written by a child molester about a black boxer named Muhammad?

You had to know that some enterprising video crew (NYVideoProduction) was going to follow up on the massive viral success of the JK Wedding Video Entrance Dance with a satirical JK Divorce Entrance Dance:

Some details:

The YouTube video, which is titled JK Divorce Entrance Dance, was posted by NYVideoProduction on Wednesday, and– like its predecessor– is racking up the views. In the description, the company says, “We’ve all seen the JK Wedding Entrance Dance. Now let’s see what happens 6 months later!”
…
The new, parody version—which is also done to Brown’s ‘Forever’— is set not in a church, but in a courtroom instead. It’s complete with lawyers, bailiffs, a judge, and of course the not-so-happy couple— all of whom dance their way to the front of the courtroom. Don’t worry—the groom’s flip, as seen in the original, is still included.

When the music slows, the bride and groom climb up onto tables and appear to fight in slow motion, as do a female ‘court reporter’ and another woman who appears to be a witness. The ladies engage in some hair pulling— all in slow motion, of course.

Catch the original on Infected Tube.

Photographer Noah Kalina caused an internet sensation with his Everyday video (13 million views and counting). If you never saw it, do so now. Otherwise, here is the info:

Kalina began taking a photo of himself every day on January 11, 2000, at age 19. The video everyday shows the photos chronologically, six per second, with an original piano score by musician Carly Comando. Throughout the compilation, Kalina’s face remains emotionless in the center of the frame. Kalina uploaded the video to Vimeo on August 8, 2006 and YouTube on August 27, 2006. Everyday was featured on an episode of VH1’s Web Junk 20 and on commercials for Time Warner Cable’s Roadrunner service. In a New York Times article, William A. Ewing, director of the Musée de l’Elysée, was quoted as saying, “Noah’s video represents a phenomenal amplification not just in what he produced and how he did it, but how many people the piece touched in such a short period of time.

Well now Red Label Films has gone and done the same thing for the reddit alien:

DJ Morgoth is an excellent mashup creator and DJ based in Germany. He runs an awesome night called Mashup Your Bootz.

He made this great mashup, so I made a video of it for him.

Rick Astley – Never Gonna Give You Up

After addressing the audience, Jackson went into his routine. Wearing black pants, leather penny loafers and a single white rhinestone glove, Jackson snapped a fedora to his head and struck a pose—his right hand on his hat and his left leg bent. Throwing the hat aside, Jackson lip-synched to “Billie Jean”. Then, during a musical interlude, the singer executed a move which many claim to have sealed his status as a pop icon. Gliding backwards, Jackson performed the moonwalk, before spinning on his heels and landing en pointe. It was the first time Jackson had performed the moonwalk in public, having practiced it in his kitchen prior to the show.

The program was watched by 50 million people and earned Jackson an Emmy nomination. With the performance Jackson reached a new audience and increased the sales of Thriller, which eventually became the biggest selling album in the world. The day after the show aired, Jackson was called by his childhood idol Fred Astaire who commended the singer. Another childhood idol, Sammy Davis Jr., later received Jackson’s black sequined jacket, having admired it during the performance.

Yes, We Can! – Si, Se Puede!

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.

Yes we can.

It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.

Yes we can.

It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.

Yes we can.

It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.

Yes we can to justice and equality.

Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.

Yes we can heal this nation.

Yes we can repair this world.

Yes we can.

We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics…they will only grow louder and more dissonant ……….. We’ve been asked to pause for a reality check. We’ve been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.

Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea –

Yes. We. Can.
