ABOUT CLICKED

The modern news consumer ignores Weblogs and online citizen journalism at his own peril. But not everyone has the time to keep track of what's going on the Web. With this blog we hope to track the highlights of what's being discussed online so when news breaks from the Web, we're ready.

Will Femia is a Weblog enthusiast who, through good fortune and dumb luck, was introduced to the form as his position as chat producer for MSNBC.com careered into obsolescence. On any given day, Will can be found having already spent an unhealthy amount of time squinting at a computer screen.

That Jimmy Kimmel Sarah Silverman exchange

Posted: Wednesday, February 27, 2008 10:05 AM by Will Femia

You've likely seen it by now because it's racking up millions of views on sites like YouTube as well as on the ABC.com site (which for some reason didn't think it necessary to come up with a way for me to link directly) but just to cover the base, if you kept your TV on after the Oscars and your local news you saw Jimmy Kimmel's amazing music video response to his girlfriend's viral hit.

The story in short: Comedian Sarah Silverman gave her boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel writers strike gold with an outrageously funny music video, "I'm F-ing Matt Damon." He replied in kind with an over-the-top production of the only possibly response, "I'm F-ing Ben Affleck."

I'm not embedding the videos here because they do involve a lot of cursing but technically it's SFW because it's just a TV clip so everything is bleeped (though it's late night TV, so not something kids should watch). But, on the third or fourth hand, there are an awful lot of those beeps, so if you play it at work it could sound like your cube is having its own little fire drill.

Hadn't seen either as I rarely watch TV, but found both hilarious.  I'm amazed it made it through the censors, even with the bleeps.

I had avoided these, partly because of all the places linking to them.  But hey, if Will-of-Clicked (as you're known around our house) linked to it, then I've gotta watch!  I'm glad I did -- super funny stuff.  However, now I've had the "I'm F***in Matt Damon song stuck in my head for 2 days.
