This week's five highest rated comments as voted on by you, the lowest rated comment as voted on by you, and the editor's choice.
Last weekend, something strange happened. Some of the Videogum Monsters created their own secret, password-protected chat room. In 2009! Incredible! I suppose every monster has his cave, or whatever. As it turned out, though, we already had a Videogum Chat Room, originally set up last winter for the 2009 Academy Award Video Pizza Party, and lying dormant, empty and silent ever since. Until now. Now there's monsters in there all the time! It's like that secret room in Harry Potter that you can only find if you are a nerd. You should check it out, if you want. Or don't. This is America, it's up to you. Put it in your pocket for later. Whatever. But this is a weekly feature highlighting the week's best comments, not the week's best chat rooms, and so:
After the jump, the five Highest Rated comments, as voted on by you, the Lowest Rated comment, and the Editor's Choice.
NSFW "Running to the Edge of the World" video, you guys:
Yuck. This video is terrible! It's like it was created by a focus group tasked with determining what anti-social 15-year-olds from broken homes who like 50-year-old men and nightmares want.
Although, maybe I'm watching it wrong? Like you know how it's unfair to judge the trailers for James Cameron's Avatar too harshly after watching them on a Quicktime window on your computer monitor when the film is intended to be watched in anamorphic 3D on IMAX? Maybe we shouldn't judge this video too harshly until we've seen it through the window of our Time Machine on the way back to late 1997, the day before Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" video first aired, when this might have seemed even slightly shocking and not just the obnoxious work of an aging asshole who's run out of ideas.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I really feel like this guy needs to clarify who he is talking about:
Is the stupid cunt who needs to put a cock in her mouth Kristen Wiig, or the poet Suzanne Somers? PLEASE (DON'T) CLARIFY!
P.S. Two YouTube comment-based posts in one day! Is it because it's Friday and I am being kind of lazy, or is it because YouTube is the best and represents the most thoughtful and incisive dialog in America today? There's probably no way to know for sure.
With excitement over James Cameron's upcoming World of Warcraft Expansion Pack movie, Avatar, it was only a matter of time before a religious group took issue with its potential to confuse and disgrace their most cherished beliefs (was it only a matter of time?). From TMZ:
James Cameron's new film "Avatar" may have one of the biggest budgets of all time ... but it also has one big problem -- a group of Hindus are up in arms because they claim the title disgraces their religion.
The Universal Society of Hinduism and its president Rajan Zed are demanding Cameron put a disclaimer before and after the new 3-D flick saying it has diddly squat to do with the Hindu religion and its concepts ... and the title is just a coincidence.
The concept of "avatar" -- commonly known as incarnation -- is a central theme in Hinduism and prominent Hindus are worried the movie will completely botch it if Cameron doesn't bother to explain himself.
"Honey, how many bottles of Achmed syrah should I order for the dinner party tomorrow night? Well, sure, a case, but we'll go through that, you know how Tom drinks, and if we're going to spend the money on shipping anyway, we should probably get some to set aside just for everyday wine, no? Maybe a case of the Achmed and a case of the Peanut riesling? You know what, honey, nevermind, I'm just going to order 1,000 cases of all three Jeff Dunham wines, which exist and are real, and are my favorite wines. What we don't drink at the dinner party we can save for our children, as part of their inheritance. It's collectible, you know. Oh, but now that we've got the wine thing sorted out, how many Bubba J iPods Nano do you want?"

Blogging about TV and movies isn't all fun and videogames. Every week, Lindsay or Gabe will be presented with a physical or mental challenge that tests their bravery,patience, and taste.
The Challenge: I had to go on a 3.5 hour bus tour of totally random TV and film locations in New York City. Alone, and wearing a specific ridiculous tshirt. And I had to find someone to take my picture...
I went to see Where the Wild Things Are on Saturday, but it was sold out. Ay-ay-ay. That was a surprise! I mean, anticipation for this movie seemed pretty high, but anticipation for lots of movies seems high, especially when...
