This video has been everywhere lately, and for good reason.  Multiple friends of mine linked it on Google Reader the other day, and I watched it with a grin.  Not only are The Muppets back, they’re stretching the boundaries of how streaming video can look with this incredible cover version/music video for the 1975 Queen classic, Bohemian Rhapsody.  The song and the video are both exact parodies of the original Queen video from the 70’s.

I’ve watched a ton of YouTube videos in my day, and I’ve never seen one that looks this crystal clear.  In fact, everything on the Muppets’ new YouTube channel looks incredible!  They have to be encoding their videos some new way, because even TV shows on YouTube and official network channels don’t look as good as these videos do.

I’m a huge, HUGE fan of The Muppets.  As one of the generation of kids who grew up with Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, and Muppet movies on the big screen, I’m very glad to see that they’re making a comeback and that they’re embracing technology as much as they are.  Even Statler and Waldorf are on the Internet now, heckling via YouTube!

Dancing is one of the most common social experiences throughout the world.  Every culture, except for perhaps the Amish, will have dances, and those dances will always be terrible for 95 percent of the people attending.  Well, okay, 95 percent of the guys attending.  If you go to a dance, eventually you’ll have to dance, [...]

Guns N’ Roses hasn’t had a trouble-free concert tour in, well… probably ever.  Throughout the band’s history, there’s always been some kind of drama, from the band’s perennial lateness, to cutting gigs short early, being cut off by promoters, and even starting riots.  GNR, in some sense, is the last real rock band, because they’re [...]

I’m a pretty smart guy, so I know what I can do and I know my limitations.  I can slow dance a little, but when the tempo increases or if there’s choreography involved, forget it.  I’ve tried, and while I’m willing to get up on stage and make a fool of myself, I just can’t [...]

It’s one of the most long-awaited television debuts in years for fans of the zombie genre.  The brilliant series of comic books/graphic novels The Walking Dead, from creator Robert Kirkman, is coming to television screens throughout the world thanks to AMC and Hollywood talent Frank Darabont.  FearNet has the exclusive 5 minute teaser trailer and [...]

Deputy Brandon Jenkins, a deputy sheriff with Wake County, North Carolina’s Wake County Sheriff’s Department, has undoubtedly seen a lot of strange things during his time in uniform.  However, there’s no amount of police training that can prepare you for what Deputy Jenkins dealt with recently.  When investigating a truck spill, Jenkins noticed some spilled [...]

Roger Federer may only be the second-best men’s tennis player in the world, but when it comes to tennis, second best is still really, really good.  We’re talking better than thousands of other people who play tennis on a professional level, and better than millions of weekend amateurs.  That’s why, when presented with a video [...]

It’s weird.  I don’t hate Justin Bieber.  I’ve never actually listened to him or paid him any attention.  Yet, when he gets hurt, I really enjoy it.  For example, when Justin Bieber walked into that glass door?  I laughed like crazy.  When I saw the video where Justin Bieber gets hit in the head with [...]
