Reader Jose illustrates our experience with "Silverio and his colleagues in Mexico City are involved in an 'art movement' that digs up the kitsch of 1970s and 1980s Mexico. Imagine looking at a clip of a Mr. Show skit based on 'American Movie: The Making of Northwestern' and then attempting to figure out American culture via that Mr. Show skit."

Ah. Knowing this and getting in on the joke a little makes what was a merely odd clip much more interesting.

Much thanks to Jose and to Jason, and to Ben for pointing it out to us in the first place.

Recently the community of players had a costume contest, and the results are here in this photo gallery. Shown here are the heroes the people were aiming for, and what they ended up with. Occasionally upsetting, mostly pretty great.

We'd like to declare our deep and very true love for The Pink Haired Avenger Who Eats Blu Fla-Vor-Ice or whatever she is.

We're going to admit to being one of those who thinks the iPod is one customer unfriendly pile of jackal droppings, worthy of none of it's popularity, and which owes it's whole cultural presence to some cool ads and the sort of people who buy into cool ads.

Feeling like we've sufficiently peed in those cornflakes, we have to say we’re highly impressed with both costumes.
