Mafioso (The Criterion Collection, 3.18.2008) Nino Badalamenti is a supervisor in a car manufacturing plant who hasn't taken a vacation in over two years. On his way out the door to visit his beloved childhood hometown of Sicily -- with his blonde wife and daughters -- Nino is handed a package by his boss and asked to deliver it to a powerful and influential Sicilian gangster named Don Vincenzo. Once in Sicily, Nino has a hoot seeing friends and family, but his wife has trouble fitting in and is unfairly dismissed as a snob by Nino's family. Even more worrisome, Nino finds himself entangled in an intricate web of secret mafioso dealings and is eventually sent on an unexpectedly... elaborate errand. (continued)

Mad Mel South Park

A South Park Mel Gibson segment via UTube, obviously made with The Passion of the Christ in mind. Moderately funny (okay, more than moderately), but Matt and Trey need to make a new "sugar tits and bad Jews" version.

That was seriously my first thought upon reading about Gibson's DUI. Hell, they did Scientology twice (the earlier one was a disguised version in which the leader of the cult was David Blaine), so they can do Mel twice.

Hey dinosaur, it's YouTube, not UTube. Maybe they have a Hey 19 video on there too!

Jesus Jeff, you are one swinging, hip dude.

Drinking tea. Getting your bike stolen. Forcing your kids on us. Referencing jokes that are two years old available for viewing on "UTube."

Anything else you want to throw at us while we're hitting these at the height of their popularity?

Jesus H Christ on a muddafuggin' crutch, you sure are hating on Jeff. Why all the bitterness?
