The Depressing YouTube Videos of the Day

In 1985 a man named Paul Hardcastle wrote and arranged (and remixed, several times) a song about the Vietnam War.
Here’s two of the music videos. Watch. Think.

Now, having thought about it, what do you think a song about the “War on Terrorism” and the “War in Iraq” would sound like?

Mama's Family

Mama’s Family – Season One Episode One
Vint And The Kids Move In
http://video.aol.com/video/tv-mamas-family-vint-and-the-kids-move-in/1813811
The first episode. I watched it a few minutes ago, through AOL and WB’s In2TV. I had never heard of this service/program until tonight, when I saw a commercial on ION. So, I crept downstairs, hopped on the computer and went searching. I clicked through the list and decided to watch this episode, for I had never seen it. What a treat it was.
I think I’ll go back and see what other shows are available.
