You’re right GOP: you should try and block the nomination of Justice Sonia Sotomayor. So what if she came from poverty, got into Princeton and was editor of the Yale Law review. Once in a generation legal mind my ass. Brilliant Jurist and Minority are mutually exclusive. Here’s why you should block her confirmation:
1. She’s hispanic. Hispanics can’t be trusted. We already have the...

It’s true, FML always seemed a little self-centered and melodramatic to me. This is much more my speed.
Now this is something I’m actually willing to read.
Last month I got off the 1 Train behind an attractive girl in a short purple dress. As I passed her (on her left) on the way to the exit, I heard a sort of grunt, almost a subvocalisation, not from the direction of the girl but rather from my own left, the direction of the now-departing train. Odd.
A moment later the train’s conductor, a twenty-something male, came into view from behind,...

– Doug Ward Article at ESPN. Harvard and Columbia? Really?
WatchOh, Hulu. Excuse me for a moment while I laugh at you.

Recently on CollegeHumor, we’ve been experimenting with oxymoronically creating our own UGC. Matt put this together. I haven’t seen Star Trek, but I hear it’s everything you wanted the Star Wars prequels to be. Digg it.
Fucking zing.
Spring Orgo Night
cumb:
Wow! What an Orgo Night! We had great weather, great turnout, great response, and, best of all, great fun! What’s more, Bwog gave us a glowing review! The script is available here. And so, we present to you our Spring 2009 Orgo Night in its entirety:
The video is also available in HD over at Vimeo. Special thanks to Ben Theodore and Ivy Fortmeyer, our impromptu camera folk.
So this...
WatchNobody but me will remember, but I actually helped pitch this sketch about a month ago. It’s based on a combination of an old Editorial idea for a “crumbelievable” joke and my own weepy, distraught impression of a guy whose father just went in for a “hungerectomy” (fuck you, Snickers).
Actually, now that I think about it, maybe I didn’t help with this one at...
A Storm is CUMB-ing

The Band dabbles into sketch comedy to remind you that Orgo Night is this Thursday! Check out the Facebook event, read about it on WikiCU, and most of all, don’t get locked out!
Written by Devon Grandy and the general wit of the Band. Music arranged by Jonathan Jager. If you have no idea what this video is about, the source for this parody can be seen here.
Didn’t meet the...

Hardly Working’s tribute to Guy Ritchie films. Believe it or not, my spot-on British accent is not real. (My winces of pain as Kevin smashes my head against the desk, on the other hand, are.)
clearly my accent is the most spot-on. i’m also most handsome.
Easily the best Hardly Working since HW: Airplane.
“Speaker Quinn is not one to loudly advertise her Yankee leanings, but smiled...”
– Zing! From a great article in the Times about baseball loyalties among New York City politicians.

Australian TV advertises Mad Men through a modern take on sexist advertising.
Oh snap!
