4:54 wtf?

[golanlevin]

What's the question? There's nothing unusual about the video at 4'54".

Makes more sense than Glen Beck and more entertaining, too...

Now say "She sells sea shells by the sea shore" 10 times fast.

[samizdat45]

Brilliant. IMO, it's always better to have an actor read a poem, than the poet, because it brings another dimension to the experience-particularly with a phonetic poem.

Whenever I go to a poetry reading and hear the the poet read his/her own work, I invariably think- "Who came up with the idea of having the poet read"? That's like having the fashion designer model his own clothes.

@Mality Blonk makes more sense than any politician.. be glad Beck is not one, lying all the time and blaming each other when they couldn't fix a torn paper bag
