Above is a bizarre clip featuring Jessica Alba and Hayden Panettiere for Declareyourself.com.  Alba plays the role of a zealous HSN hostess whereas Hayden sports the “muzzler” as a product model.  With the Election 2008 around the corner, it is crucial that everyone elegible has already registered to vote.  Otherwise, you may as well wear that Hannibal style mask.

Came across this hilarious website where Sarah Silverman takes a moment out of her time and tries to get you, the young voters, to convince your Jewish grandparents to vote for Barack Obama in the upcoming election. She seems to be specifically targetting grandparents living in Florida, as that is one of the major swing states.

Here’s a brief intro from the website:

The Great Schlep aims to have Jewish grandchildren visit their grandparents in Florida, educate them about Obama, and therefore swing the crucial Florida vote in his favor. Don’t have grandparents in Florida? Not Jewish? No problem! You can still become a schlepper and make change happen in 2008, simply by talking to your relatives about Obama. - The Great Schlep

Watch the video and prepare to giggle like a little school girl and then visit the site, www.thegreatschlep.com.

This has got to be one of the best Obama shirts I’ve seen yet. Depicts Obama dunking over McCain, think Vince Carter dunking over Frederick Weis during the 2000 Olympics. But according to Undrcrwn’s site the shirt was really inspired by the movie Office Space, hence the name “O-Face” shirt. Check out the clip below as it feature Spike Lee at the Democratic Party Convention held in Denver, he’s wearing the shirt and the reporter even asks him about it, you’ll have to wait until the 2:30 min mark on the video.

Head over to Undrcrwn for more info on the shirt and to find out where you can purchase it.

Directed for the upcoming Diesel XXX party by Keith Schofield and animated by Big Animal this spot is amazing. This spot is guaranteed to entertain and leave you busting a guy and watching it repeatedly over and over again as I did. Be sure to share this with a few friends, and is that Peter North I spotted in one of the scenes? Wait, I meant a friend told me that it was Peter North in one of the scenes.

Mike who? Mike Relmmmmmm! If you don’t know who Relm is, then consider this a backgrounder. He’s a turntablist from San Francisco and has performed with numerous artists as well as toured across the country. He’s known for his live performances, which feature audio and video mash-ups all cut and scratched live on the spot, and on Friday, Sept. 26, he stopped in on Vancouver, presented by Spectrum Events.

So I have to admit, I didn’t know very much of Mike Relm before I went to the show. I mean, besides the clips on YouTube and doing some background research on him, so I didn’t really expect too much going into the show. By the end of the show I was converted into a fan and even shook his hand (I told you Michelle it wasn’t too late) as corny as that sounds.

The show is what you see on some of the YouTube clips, but with a shit load more energy from the audience and from Relm himself as he interacts with the crowd and people are constantly jumping on stage and attempting to dance then throwing themselves for a stage dive. Oh, and did I forget to mention that he brought friends. Yeah his friends, dubbed the “Sideshow,” were two scary ass clowns, did I mention I’m afraid of clowns? The novel / movie IT, really messed me up as a kid. These “friends” were like his very own hype men, think Flava Flav to Chuck D, Spliff Starr to Busta Rhymes, Memphis Bleek to Jay-Z, except the “Sideshow” were on turntables.

Relm played a diversity of music throughout the night, mixing House of Pain, Pharcyde, Outfield, NWA, with Feist and John Lennon. The music off course was only part of the show, as he would mix in visuals from movies and TV shows such as Harold & Kumar, Office Space, Snoopy, When Harry Met Sally, Team America and Nacho Libre to name a few.

He really rocked the whole show from beginning to end, but here are highlights for me, and judging from the response of the crowd, were:

• When he freaked it hard on his MPC and did his drums live on the spot
• He played his song and accompanying video for “Everytime”
• Dropping Damian Marley’s “Welcome to Jamrock” remixed by Relm, the drums on the mix he played were hard as hell and had a bunch of folks in the back dancing, including yours truly
• In one of his video clips he had a sign that read, “If John McCain wins the election, I’m going to marry a Canadian Woman” ‘nuff said.
• Outfield’s chorus from “Your Love” mixed in with NWA’s “Quiet On Tha Set”

As his show ended, the crowd cheered and wanted an encore and he didn’t disappoint. He came back and ended the show with John Lennon’s “Imagine” which lead to one more song, Feist’s “1,2,3,4”, but not the original, again he laced the tracks with some ill drums and made it pretty nasty, in a good way.

Overall a great show and great energy from Mike Relm and the crowd, I definitely have to give props to Sean from Spectrum Events for hooking us up at Killahbeez with some media passes. Check out www.spectrum-events.com for upcoming events.

Great Saturday Night Live sketch here, I have to say Tina Fey’s impression of Sarah Palin is just hilarious. I love the look on Amy Poehler’s face on some of the answers that are coming back. Funny how they show her ducking questions and talking in circles. My favorite part is “Katie, I’d like to use one of my lifelines”. HAHAHA.

After this SNL sketch check out the Youtube video of Palin on the Bush Doctrines. Wow is all I have to say.

Ahhhh shit. “SAY M-S-N”, this is one of the funniest things I’ve seen. AJK sent this to me while I was at work and I bursted out laughing as I watched all three freestyles.

Some of my favorite lines:

• From Google to MSN “I’m 6 gigs deep up in their inboxes”
• From MSN to Google “Your name sounds like a baby retard doodle”
• From MSN to Yahoo! “You should ask your mama, cus Bill Gates might’ve been your real founding father”
• From MSN to Yahoo! “Yahoo HOT JOBS? Sounds like a porno”
• From Yahoo! to MSN “40 Billion couldn’t buy you a date with me” (clearly about the buy out attempt earlier this year)
• From Google to Yahoo! “You want to test my manhood, you see my stock rise. Let’s both lift our hoods and compare index size”

I have to say these dudes did a great job in researching and setting this up. I really felt like the dude in the MSN costume really sold it and came out hard. Good mic and crowd control…wait am I judging this as if it’s real? Just sit back and watch all three videos. I think these freestyles could knock Eli of his throne, maaaaaang.

Out of curiosity, I asked my pal Neran over at Agenda whats good with Los Angeles.  After shooting the shit and wishing him a happy birthday, he sent me the following 3 clips.  Check the above Vimby video to see what went down at the Agenda Trade Show in San Diego.  Thanks to the interview with Emil over at Crooks & Castles, I’m now in desperate need of their cardigan hoodie.
