Heroes of Internet Video: Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” (with Legos!)

After midnight with little to do, I’ve been browsing YouTube. Last Halloween, my roommate and I watched the entire Michael Jackson “Thriller” video to perfect our dance moves before heading to a Halloween dance party. This undead hockey player was moonwalking all over that courtyard. About a week later, the DJs at an informal pulled it out again. I love that song. Back when the King of Pop mutating into a monster was only fiction. (Author’s Note: I knew I wasn’t going to make it through this post without a Jacko joke.)

Anyway, “Thriller” is a work of art, especially when it is combined with my childhood pasttime of Legos. What better for The Acropolis’s first edition of “Heroes of Internet Video” (working title)?

And the classic version that changed the way music videos were made. Has it ever been topped?

Olbermann joins long list of “journalists” ruining the integrity of news

I have been a Keith Olbermann fan since his days on SportsCenter with Dan Patrick. His MSNBC program, Countdown, has always been an entertaining hour of quasi-news. Of course, I have always recognized his left-leaning nature. I know his show only welcomes guests who parrot his agenda. I know he can mock Bill O’Reilly’s raging fits of disagreement every night, but Olbermann will never allow an opposing view to be presented on Countdown.

Established that it is what it is, Countdown has built a base of liberal viewers and moderates like myself who prefer intellectual quips and segues to Oddball animal stunts over two (or more) people screaming inaudible half-truths at one another, never to reach a compromise.
