Do It Again

Don’t forget to vote again for the melting pot shoe. It is in 5th place.  Tell some friends to vote, sneak to your co-workers desks and use their computers to vote.  You can vote once-a-day.

Greatest Commandment

Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Legislate Your Morals.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

-Matthew 22:37-40

Vader Eighties

Please make it (or skip) to at least the 3 and half minute mark, as that’s where Darth Vader and the Stormtroopers (a great* band name) dance to Thriller.

I think Darth Vader performing a pelvic thrust is one of the funnier things I’ve ever seen.

I wonder why it is that Darth Vader is the subject of internet video fandom. No one actually likes Darth Vader. No child has ever cheered him on. You don’t want to BE him. Then again, as you grow older you begin to realize how annoying Luke Skywalker is.

Is it possible that it is simply the fact that he is in full costume? It goes with my theory of special mascot relativity, which states that the more fully costumed a character is, the funnier they are performing their (or someone’s elses) functions.

Keep in mind this isn’t some viral video joke, this is actual planned, paid-for Disney entertainment at Walt Disney World.

*and by great I mean, one that plays one show and at your friend’s b-day party and then goes back to their jobs in IT.

Click Until It Hurts

Did I mention you can vote once a day for the shoes.  Right now they are in 11th place.

For Only One Click A Day…

A friend of mine just made a video with some kids she works with in a pretty low-income area here in orange county. The point of the video is to win a Converse shoes contest. She had the kids help her design a shoe and if they win, they get 22 pairs of shoes, which for these kids would be amazing.

Let’s all try and help her win:

1. Go this website and click on the image of this shoe.

Right now it’s on page three. It’s called Melting Pot.

2. Then, click on “Leave a Comment and Vote”.

3. Make sure you have the “yes” box selected then leave a comment.

Please help the kids out and send this around to some people. It seems like something small, but it would bring these guys some much needed joy (and shoes).

UPDATE: The shoes are in 11th place.  Keep clicking.
