Dear Reverend Beat Man,

Although the churches in your native Switzerland may not approve of your lyrics, or your female companion:

…I like the cut of your jib, and realise that you also heard His calling:

Munn: How did the Rev. Beatman start?

RB: I was touring alot with my Wrestling Rock’n'roll act Lightning beat-man and 1999 i had a larger accedent in the shows the result was that i broke something in my back and i lost my voice because of too much screaming in the mikro and yelling at people.. the doctor sed you better end with that nightclup wrestling or sooner or later you gonna die.. i did stop and one night i had a hallucination where Robert Johnson and Ccreamin Jay Hawkins told me that i have to pereach… now i’m preaching

I must confess that in my weaker moments, when my faith is tested, I also Do the Jesus Christ Twist:

Yours sincerely,

Reverend I M Jolly

Amen.

Cube.

 If Dieter were still around, he would play this game. While listening to Kraftwerk and declaring the future obsolete.

THIS IS THE PART OF THE SHOW WHERE WE DANCE.

Oh man, I wish I had been able to tape this. Stephen Colbert was on right-wing francophobe self-evangelising hubris-meister Bill O’Reilly’s show on Fox News about ten minutes ago. It was gold, pure comedy gold! Colbert to O’Reilly on the Fox host’s ‘liberal’ critics:

“You know what I hate about people who criticise you? They criticise what you say, but they never give you credit for how loud you say it… …or how long you say it.”

If anyone spots it on YouTube or the likes, drop me a line. It should appear in this search at some point, providing somebody captures it.

UPDATE 21st January 2007:

Oh Yes. Here it is. Enjoy.

Quote also updated from the video – I misheard slightly the first time.

Partisan Jab: DICK CHENEY’S ALIVE! – Music For America A nice little parody of Dick Cheney’s impersonal style and dubious corporate connections. Shame I only heard about it today! The movie is a 10.7MB QuickTime file, take a look.

Edu’s Worthless blog links to a Flash movie parody of the Apple ‘Switch’ campaign, adapted for Linux. It’s so true…
