High comedy

Weird Hollywood dude, Shia Labeouf - a vocal and emotional Trump-hater - has been attempting some protest stunts that seem to inevitably backfire. First, he set up a livestream camera in front of an anti-Trump banner, that routinely has been hogged by mocking Trump supporters. His next gimmick was to hoist a flag, bearing the device "He Shall Not Divide Us", at a secret location; however, the location did not remain secret for long, as some cunning types at 4Chan discovered it, hauled the flag down and replaced it with a red MAGA cap.

That is one of the funniest things I read about all week. But the absolute funniest thing I encountered was this hilarious video of a professor being interviewed remotely by the BBC. He's sitting in his home office, and his small daughter struts into the room, very much in the manner of Blackbeard strolling on his quarterdeck. That gave me a good chuckle; but when she was followed by the baby in the walker - well, I just lost it, laughed until I cried. Behold! (Suggestion: go straight to YouTube and enlarge the screen for maximum effect).

I thought the funniest thing was the adult (who was probably the inattentive overseer) who made a clumsy mess of removing the kids from their 15 seconds of fame.

I learned from another site that the woman in the video is Professor Kelley's wife.

Yeah, I saw that, too. When I posted the comment, I didn't know. I was just getting in touch with my feminist-fairness-in-all-things side, and didn't wanna appear insensitive by assuming she was something she wasn't.

Either way - Down With the Patriarchy!

This patriarch's already down (sitting in my Lazy Boy, soakin' on an RC Cola).

Well, enjoy your #daywithoutaman. Otherwise known as 'Saturday'.

I'm guessing you won't be out marching in the streets, wearing a penis hat, and making a fool of yourself.

Is that "fool" or "tool"?

Paco said...

R-man: Definitely not.

Not a penis hat, a Phrygian cap ...

Heh. Shia LaDouche is now apparently guarding his flagpole with a baseball bat.
