I remember when FR was better than this. If this was a comedy site, whohoo.

Just one man's opinion. And since it is not my site, it is not my opinion that counts.

Humor is subjective. I didn't happen to find it humorous, although I have nothing against those who do. I just wish I didn't happen upon it here.

Its narrated by, and stars African-American actors. It is a send-up of Ken Burns' documentary about the baseball 'Negro Leagues'.

It is side-splittingly funny. I am still crying from laughing so hard.

But you've got to pay attention to the subtlety or you'll miss half the gags.....

With the way things have been here for the last month, everyone could use a laugh, including the owner. That IS why you pinged him isn't it?

The video applications are built for IE, so until Firefox gets more share, they will always interact oddly with it.

Not everything has to be some serious political discussion.

It was quite funny and done by black americans, it was submitted for and recieved some awards.

Its a spoof, of Ken Burns, the photography, the stills, the obtuse experts, the music.

Brilliant.
