Offbeat: Autotune + cute kids + finger biting = Amazing.

  • It’s official. You can autotune anything. For some reason, what should be a silly little one-off video turns into something vaguely more epic when you add autotune to it. These kids know how to turn a finger-biting incident into a bedroom jam.

Music: Jason Segel’s singing for the LAAA-DIES, complete with digits.

Hey baby, want to call me? Judd Apatow acolyte and “I Love You, Man” star Jason Segel has the right idea. At a Swell Season (i.e. actors from “Once“) show last week, Segel dropped his number to ladies in the middle of a song. Julius has been having trouble with the ladies lately, so he might try it, too. source

Offbeat: Laid-off journalists in need of a pick-me-up, see this post

  • Journalists are nothing if not a bunch of clever bastards. And this anonymous Toronto Star employee, looking to protect the interests of editors and copy editors, may be the most clever bastard we’ve seen in a while. (Hat tip Clint Howarth.)source

Politics: Doing it wrong: Our favorite anti-health-care protester photo ever

This Catholic priest decided to lay on the floor outside of Nancy Pelosi’s office last week. He’s going to take health care lying down. source
