Oh man, you guys. Last night’s Videogum “Back to School” comedy show and party was such a success! So much fun. Literally too much fun. We’ll post some pictures later today and everyone can relive the excitement of sitting in a room for two hours listening to white people talk. But for the moment it is all very head + yogurt cup and all that that entails. Did you know that tomorrow is September 11th? The anniversary of the genuinely tragic event that spawned a decade of fear and hatred and violence and the unfortunately omnipresent expression “the tragic events of”? Well, it might as well be 9/11 TODAY for how my head feels right now. Too soon? No. We’ve had years of distance for me to be able to make that weak joke that might not even be a joke I can’t even tell anymore. All of our lives have been leading up to this one moment. And in this moment’s honor, let’s once again revisit the Annual Videogum 9/11 Tribute Video. Enjoy, and NEVER FORGET THIS VIDEO:

To commemorate the occasion, a group of people have decided to burn copies of the Quran at the site of the future mosque at ground zero. They have yet to decide whether or not this is being done ironically.
I heard they are moving the community center AND the Qu’ran burning is off as well.
I had a whole string of things to say about this, but last time I poked fun at religion, people cried (Almost as much as I usually cry about stuff (LIKE TATTOOS), but I usually cry in fun and happiness and playing the internet roles, whereas other people cried blood tears of the true death bleeds, all because I said some catholic priests have touched boys.).
SOOO WHAT DO YOU HAVE PLANNED TODAY FACE
Mostly making people cry about things on the internet. The usual.
BOOK BURNINGS of religious TEXT huh? I feel LIKE THERE’S some other CULTURE THAT used to do this, BUT I CAN’T quite remember WHO OR where…. HM….
Glenn, HELP ME out here!

I saw them do it once on an episode of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. That’s probably what you’re thinking of.
I think you know…
FUNNY, I guess. I WOULD JUST like to take this TIME THOUGH to express MY DISSATISFACTION with the PAST nine (NINE? ugh) years REGARDING September 11th. In that TIME WE haven’t MANAGED to catch the person RESPONSIBLE or fix THE WHOLE in the fuckin ground (SERIOUSLY? 9 YEARS? I get that THE RECOVERY process was LONG AND engineers wanted TO STUDY WHAT went wrong, but then YOU PROBABLY shouldn’t have LET THE MOB or whoever get a hold of all THAT DEBRIS and let IT “disappear.” ALSO, REAL ESTATE moguls in the US are APPARENTLY giant assholes), and I feel LIKE THE ONLY time September 11th POPS up anymore–this post EXCLUDED obviously–is WHEN ASSHOLES need to wave a bloody FLAG FOR their cause or shoein SOME SCAPEGOAT reasoning FOR something.
Goddamn US.
haha, you spelled WHOLE wrong! haha, it should be, “…or fix THE HOLE in the fuckin ground…”! you’re an idiot! haha!

Sorry.
no worries, it’s not me talking, it’s winwood.
Why can’t you let Winwood be absent?
Using my commentator meme in a pseudo-ironic fashion is an example of somebody getting to eat their cake AND have it
It’s easier to justify an unnecessary 9-year war with an unnecessary 9-year hole still in the ground.
I’m in my campus’ library and someone brought in Chinese food. I didn’t eat breakfast this morning. This is my personal 9/11.
WTF?! You can eat at the library? Man, you;d get your butt kicked messin around with a Candy Bar or some Chips, let alone FRICKIN CHINEE FOO
So posting a video of mimes re-creating atrocities in which innocent people are mercilessly killed is what passes for humor on the Internet now?
i’m pretty sure you misunderstood this video. it’s clearly about running underwater and mashing lumps of things together.
This is a video of a mime. A VIDEO OF A MIME.
If we can’t make fun of mimes anymore, regardless of context, then I don’t even want to be alive anymore.
You don’t understand. Only a mime can covey the horror because words are too weak faced with it’s atrocity! I get you Gabe! BFF! <3
Notsewfast, they don’t call this site “theamazingrace.com” for nothing.
Wait, something I said is being imitated by Notsewfast for comic effect? I’m so honoured! I’m gonna party like there’s no tomorrow!
Raise the roof! Raise it!
If the Assaulted Nuts don’t perform tonight, then the terrorists have truly won.
I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry.
Has anyone ever seen a Non-Traditional Mime in action? I’m just wondering what it’s like.

Wow, thanks for the info, and I’m Glad to see the guy that does the monster truck rally commercials can get other voice over work.
I think a non-traditional mime is just a person who talks too much.
While at the show last night, a friend texted me that she kept watching 9/11 documentaries and crying. I ignored it so I could realize my dream of waylaying Gabe on his way to the bathroom once I was six beers in. This video is clearly my punishment for forgetting, and I will watch it on loop to make amends.
Sept 11, 2001 was my first day of college. I got up early and went to the gym, where I heard about the attack on my Walkman’s radio (pre-Zune listening device, kiddies). I went back to my dorm and turned on the tv. My roommate woke up and screamed at me for making noise so early in the morning. I stole her extension cord when she moved out three weeks later AND I HAVE IT POWERING MY COMPUTER RIGHT NOW.
The point of the story being that extension cords last a long time? Nevermind.
SHE AT least chilled THE FUCK out after SEEING what was ON TV right?
I know it’s selfish, but I was kind of hoping this morning’s post would have been a “sorry we had to postpone the back to school thing,” as when heading our the door a family thing pulled me back and, in a show of zero respect for Faceboook RSVPs, I didn’t go.
I could say I’m happy for all of you, but I’ll be honest and just say I’m sad for me.
Sept 11 is my little sister’s birthday. She generally spends the day trying to get everybody all pumped to go out or whatever and then we all sit around awkwardly in some fancy restaurant, singing Happy Birthday and then also being like, NEVER FORGET. Today’s a roller coaster of emotions is that I’m saying.
It’s also my [Brooklyn-born] son’s birthday. He’ll be six tomorrow!
Here he is reenacting the assassination of Nguyễn Văn Lém with his brother.
Why don’t you caption it?
You crazy funny for this one, Patrick M.
