Internet Killed the TV Star
We entered this contest called Vlog Deathmatch. Our friend Bill organizes it and has his own entry. The viewers decide the winner so go to Vlog Deathmatch, do the nice thing and watch all the other entries, and then vote for us.
We were inspired by this video.

Internet Killed the TV Star was filmed in the studio / apartment of
ace photographer Zandy Mangold <link>. He also did our stellar
publicity photos.
Starring Bob McClure, Lindsey Broad, Chris O'Connor, Kelli Giddish,
Jeff Skowron and Matt Yeager.
Filmed by Jack Ferry, Robby Rapaport, Johnny North, Kathy and Thom.
Chris Chan Roberson took the raw elements and edited it into
perfection (if we do say so).
Based on The Buggles' Video Killed the Radio Star video (1979).

Holy crap I just laughed so damn hard. Great job. You edited that so well and without much time. Early is ridiculously hilarious. I offer him a banana or plum from my fruitbowl.

Oh. My God. This brought tears to my eyes, from being hilarious, relentlessly nostalgic, and incorporating my hopes that videoblogging will kill the mainstream media star.
Cheers to you. Brilliant! I don't see how I can vote for any other entry.

Jed, you and your friends are very special. As a member of MTV's first fan club-for the stickers, I am sure Trevor Horn would be proud. I hope Early's curly ribbon bow gets to go on another package real soon!

I love it. Early's Puck/Tinkerbell coupled with a superb rendition of the hippie helicopter is both revolting and whimsical at the same time. Thank you Burg. Thank you.

Brilliant!
What makes it so good? It's storytelling stripped bare, leaving more room for creativity. I couldn't figure out what was weirdest: the bed-hair and blank look on the keyboardist/drummer or THAT WEIRD GUY IN TIGHTS AND A GLITTER WIG!!!!!!!

Congrats on your win, guys! There were some good videos over there, but yours definately deserved the win. And it got my vote.
The "look" from "Ryan" made it, LOL. That and "Early" in that provocative outfit.
