WatchBen Zelevansky and Alex Bloom, creators of pioneering animated web series Unleashed as well as various projects for Funny or Die, are in the blip.tv office today. Their presence reminded me of an interview I did with them back in 2007. This feels like a million years ago.
This is a two part interview. The videos play sequentially in the player.

I’ve seen a blind guy bite a police horse! A puppy committed suicide after he saw our bathroom! I once bit into a burrito and there was a child’s shoe in it! I’ve seen a hooker eat a tire! A pack of wild dogs took over and successfully ran a Wendy’s! The sewer people stole my skateboard!

Facts about Obama and BP
Obama did not accept donations from PACs during his presidential election, therefor he did not receive a single penny from BP’s PAC.
He did take $1,000 from them in 2004.

The entire amount he’s received from BP’s PAC and employees over his entire...
