    No greenscreen. Just a laptop, iMovie, and a lot of love for David Byrne.

    While he's looking for random comical content from people on the internet to mock, Ben might consider reading parts of my blog anonymously.

    To the uninformed viewer, parts of it might prove even more amusing than sh*t you find on craigslist.

    Yes, this week's Infomania was made up of all sorts of win, especially the WHT5 and Fanboy Focus, and the short Sarah/Ben/Brett vids inbetween. Very well done!

    Excellent rehashing from Brett, a man of no fixed political stance or hairstyle.
    "Electionless"!? I...you...Arrrrrrrrrrrrggghh!
    It was my life! I mean, I was getting one righteous "Britney Boner" and everything!
    Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm giving a lecture at MIT where I'll explain how CNN's holographs are something totally fresh and exciting. I'm calling it my "Superimposium".

    I'm completely catching the midnight screening of "You're a Junkie Charlie Brown."

    And current, why aren't Sergio's White Hot Top 5 available for download on iTunes? Not cool.

    Sergio.

    Are you ridiculously attractive rubbing your head on the floor not looking stupid.

    "Hot voting butts, hot voting butts! Butts in ballot boxes, they're voting, it's hot!" Now, where can I download that song so I can shake my booteh to it?

    What I found most amusing about this expanded Best of Campaign Update is the host's ubiquitous look. Brett, how many stylists do you have?

    Some Current video editor should do an episode by episode transformation of Brett's taliking head just like how Noah Kalina streamed his daily self-pics for six years. Maybe this can be added as a DVD extra when the Campaign Update series gets published. And if you guys aren't able to pay for my pitching this idea, I'd appreciate at least a shout out in the credits. =)

    Never fails to bore me.

    "Happy Valentines Day! Oh wait, you didnt vote? I guess youre just not as a good a citizen as I am." Glad I saved mine. I'm gonna use that. = D

    Sergio-- 'Once in a Lifetime' this week was also the first song that I liked on the White Hot Top Five. Keep up the good work, too bad most "top songs" suck.
