I can't even ...

I am going to interrupt my leisurely Friday afternoon sipping Chardonnay and grappling with how I want to prepare these black tiger shrimp to amplify this howlingly amusing comment on a recent post because, you know, holy shit:

OMG, a gem. Ezra pauses in the middle of a rambling thread about nothing in particular, says he wants to show us a clip of John Cleese congratulating convicted wife-beater Avi Yemeni on his "award". He fumbles briefly with his cell phone, and sends the link to his "producer", who runs it. The "award" was presented to Avi by the Rebel. The "congratulations" is a bought and paid for Cameo clip (you know, those little "personal" messages you can buy from b-list celebrities earning pocket change between gigs?) Cleese clearly doesn't have a clue who Avi is, who Ezra is, or what the Rebel is, but gamely reads off the script provided Ezra, occasionally interjecting a puzzled "Oh, WELL done."

On a totally unrelated note, Sheila Gunn Reid would like to remind you of her Amazon "best sellers."

LOL. That's reminiscent of the final episode of the British version of the office, where David Brent hires a hoooker to accompany him to the Christmas party as his girlfriend.
