French Maid TV: How To Share Photos
I'll never fully understand what strange facet of human sexuality inspires the French maid fetish (though I suppose the short skirt/low-cut top combo is a factor). But Tim Street's charming and well-produced comedy series combines narrative and instructional video in a fun and engaging way.
In this episode, Laura is greatly saddened by the theft of her French maid uniform and feather duster. But with the help of a firmly tucked towel and the French Maid TV Detective Agency, she's able to take photos of the culprit -- and then share them using TubesNow.com. It's an entertaining sexy time. If you like French maids, that is. Which apparently everyone does.

Joss Stone Skewers Perez Hilton
I'm just gonna come out and say it: Joss Stone is a modern-day Ruth Buzzi. Need proof? Just check out her gut-busting jab at Perez Hilton.
In this mesmerizing tour-de-force of comedic artistry, the British songbird plays a TV anchor who urges viewers to contribute to the helpless cause of a -- get this -- sexually ambiguous fatso! Sure, I had to watch the video six times to finally grasp its undertones of mockery (Stone isn't actually serious that she wants to help Perez -- she doesn't even like him), but it was worth the wait. I have never felt so intellectually rewarded in my life.
OH! And when they cut to the candlelit vigil? PURE GOLD. Because, Joss Stone wouldn't have a candlelit vigil for Perez Hilton because Joss Stone doesn't even like Perez Hilton. In fact she DISLIKES him.
Paris Hilton is FREE!
Yes, we can all breathe easy once again. Just past midnight, everyone's favorite madcap heiress left jail for good, or at least until she misplaces God again. (She found Him in prison, but you never know; He might make a break for it.)
Paris looked chic, sassy, and upbeat as she strolled the runway... um, sorry, crossed the jail courtyard past a throng of photographers and ran into her mother's waiting arms. Up next? An interview with Larry King, a proposed halfway house for female ex-prisoners trying to make a fresh start, and no more orange jumpsuits -- ever!

Going Viral with the Ultimate Boomerang
From the creative force behind Guy Catches Glasses with Face comes another one for the "How'd they do that?" file. This time, a promotional sign for a pizza place becomes a giant boomerang, whipping through a crowd of onlookers, up into the air, and around a lamppost before zipping back to Roto, the mad sign-spinning mastermind who launched it. Damn.
It's such a sick little piece of effects work and editing that it's actually even more impressive than the real stunt itself would have been. Plus, the entire thing is accompanied by music from the biggest, awesomest boombox EVER. Held by a guy wearing a tie. (Joe)
Extra bonus fun can be had here, where Roto defies gravity as breakdancing and editing come together, and Joe looks on impassively, completely unmoved by the entire spectacle.
