The Rising, by Langerland

Even if you’re not Irish or don’t know anything about Irish history you’ll still probably find The Rising funny. It’s a short animation featuring the main players of the 1916 Rising as members of the R Team as they battle today’s politicians and institutions!
Warning, sense of humour required. I bet someone will ring Joe Duffy’s show to complain about this over the next few days!

I listened to one podcast

I listened to one podcast, no, maybe two podcasts in their entirety. One promised a keyword for a competition to win a camera or some prize, and the other was Mark and Ciaran’s Nightsight, a videocast which I enjoyed despite not mentioning Web 2.0 anywhere! Maybe that was a good thing, considering the objective of the movie..

In a similar vein, all the videos on blogs thanks to youtube are great! Even though Pomme and Kelly were among the most popular bloggers on WordPress.com for the past few weeks I only saw their version of Respect this morning. They are the very first Google Idols apparently. They’re a little mad aren’t they? 🙂

Free groom for Maebh!

“Scrubs”, “Naked Camera”, “How Low Can You Go?” and “Podge and Rodge”. 3 out of 4 home grown. That’s great!

If you’ve ever watched Maebh look for a boyfriend or a husband on Naked Camera, you may have wondered where they got the idea for that.. I snapped this poster outside of the men’s clothes shop the first episode featured. (You know the one, where the poor lad was single, but then magically was engaged when Maebh freaked him out! Oh, that would apply to any episode!)


No wonder she was confused with a headline like that!
