[Heroes of Internet Video] N-u-m-n-a-h

For the second installment of “Heroes of Internet Video,” we go to the 2008 National Spelling Bee…

That is my new favorite from the plethora of spelling bee moments. Here is the former champ:

What a beast! He passes out and then immediately spells the word. None of that language of origin junk. I think he faked it so someone could feed him the spelling while the crowd was in awe.

Next time, a real post; my annual Mississippians in the MLB Draft.

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?
