Video of the Day/Week/Month

Please watch the following video. I'm sure you will agree with me that it is, without a doubt, the most brilliantly insightful satire of the wymyn's ordynatyon myvemynt ever created.

Lower production values, but infinitely greater value.

So long as we're on the topic of CRJ, we might as well get to the best version of "Call Me Maybe" ever: the one by Overly Attached Girlfriend:



Heebly jeebly, that girl is scary.

Well, now that I've made sure that "Call Me Maybe" is firmly embedded in your skull, and you'll be inadvertently whistling it for days, how about something to get it out? Something like...
