"... Bring a Little Something from the Candy Dish"

All right. It's my job to know these things. Much like Hollywood saw the South Park video Christmas Card a year before everybody else*, this very, very funny and very disturbing viral video dropped onto my laptop about a month ago as it first made the rounds ...

... a video in which two young rappers extol the virtues of GILF. Yeah, that's right. They're rollin' Vintage Honey Style.

What's weird is, it's now on the web running parallel to the publicity for this weekend's Fox release Grandma's Boy. There's a MySpace for the band, called GrandmazBoys, and the url for the band's video is www.grandmazboy.com

So either the lads who made it hijacked the parallel name, and are therefore not just funny film-makers but more clever than I am by half, or Fox grabbed the video and then instead of making it an Easter Egg at the movie's site, buried it at a url which no one actually has any reason to type. Which is both insanely hip and smart and not particularly bright all at the same time. I'm going to contact the people who made it and find out which, and will report back.

In the meantime, it makes an excellent one-two punch with Chronic of Narnia to help prove that a couple funny guys who know how to write and shoot will out-funny the big studios every time.


* another reason to hate George Clooney, by the way. Not only is he handsome, intelligent, politically active, can write and direct like a motherfucker, the original South Park was his video Christmas card. We even owe him South Park.

Actually, according to WikiPedia, South Park started off as a Christmas Card from a Fox exec named Brian Garden. Clooney was a big proponent of it and sent copies to everybody he knew, but I think Brian Garden should share in the love, too.

Did you know that Chronic of Narnia is now available as a free video download on iTunes?

After seeing Good Night, and Good Luck., I decided that if Mr. Clooney has to forego the pleasures of matrimony, to focus all his genius on creating work of such quality and political import, then the women of the world should just shut up and deal. I'm just this close to saying someone shaman should reincarnate Babe Paley, just so he has a broad that can keep up.

my only coping mechanism with clooney is that they had to dub his singing voice in "o, brother, where art thou?" he's a clooney, and they had to dub him. hahahahahahahahahaha! nyah!

That wasn't funny. And I'm one of the only people stoked to see Grandma's Boy AND I love the Incredibad guys (Chronic-what-cles) AND I love rap.

I'm not sure if you actually meant to say this or not, but I check the whois for Grandmazboy.com and Fox owns it.
