Jerry O’Connell parodies Tom Cruise’s Scientology Video
Jerry O’Connell, or JOC as we Sliders TV show fans call him, did a viral video by SNL alum Jerry Minor. Jerry is spoofing the ridiculously absurd Tom Cruise Scientology video, where Tom babbles the whole time about nonsense, rather than convincing anyone to follow Scientology. Jerry is actually talking about the WGA writer’s strike and goofing on that. Great stuff.
Music Has Gotten Really Bad
Just when I thought rock music couldn’t possibly get any worse, I saw this two-and-a-half minute video of a band in Finland performing “Hotel California” by The Eagles.
It’s still not as bad as when Van Halen played in North Carolina last year though: Van Halen – Jump (Greensboro, North Carolina, 9/29/07)
