Well, readers, 2008 was one heckuva year. Between the aliens landing in Kansas, George Bush launching a preemptive war against Greenland, and Framed winning another Pulitzer, things were sure hectic! And that's not even to mention Simon Cowell's stunning revelation that American Idol 's been fixed since day one!
Can 2009 be even better? Perhaps! After President-Elect Palin takes the oath of office and follows through on her campaign promise to personally hunt down and kill the last living wolf, we expect she'll turn her attention to wisely investing the massive budget surplus she's inherited. Good times are here again!
To help usher in the new year we're featuring Jason Mraz's Grammy-nominated single, "I'm Yours." Mraz is a gifted singer-songwriter from Virginia whose reggae-flavored tune was the big hit off his 2008 LP, We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things., which hit #3 on Billboard this year. The song is now nominated for Grammy Awards for Song of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. You're sure to enjoy the video, shot in Hawaii: it's as laid-back as the song itself.
So Happy New Year to all our readers--and, remember to make Framed the one-stop shop for all your video humor needs in 2009!
...um...this is the Y! Music of Earth-Three, right?
1 -- Hey! Maybe Jason can tell Jack where the Island is!
2 -- "We're 'living in a tiny bowl at the mercy of giant, grotesque mammals whose sense of entitlement will no doubt destroy the planet?' Whatever, dude."
3 -- Jason's many fans are always welcome in his hotel room!
4 -- "All of me! Why not take all of me?"
5 -- Somewhere a pot pie--wait, a Stouffer's pot pie!--was baking!
6 -- "Quick, girls. You may yet avoid the sexist caption that would've surely accompanied this frame."
7 -- But, sadly, fast was not fast enough!
8 -- The day it rained hot girls was kind of a magical day.
9 -- A fashion accessory, sure, but also a hostile visitor intent on enslaving all humanity and reducing us to little more than insects.
10 -- "Yes! My easygoing musical stylings have been featured on American Idol!"
11 -- "You don't think we buried Jason too deep, do you?"
12 -- "Flipper! Hear my telepathic plea to reject the 1996 Paul Hogan version of your story!"
13 -- The whole world wondered: Would "Gummo, The Sentient Bubble" captions be every bit as gratuitous and pointless in the new year? Yes!
