Talking about hysterically
Talking about hysterically funny, the Jon Stewart video clip cannot be viewed from outside the US. All I see from here in the UK is a black screen with the caption "Sorry, Videos are not currently available in your country." Or maybe I am slow ... -
I'll steal (poach?) Tisha's comment...
...on levels of reading. To the non-fan, or to fans of different shows, the vid present another level/layer to be traversed, because they require competence both in the source and in a specific fan artifact, which is a (Tolkenian) sub-creation. This calls ... -
