Framed

Kylie Minogue, Framed

Hi, readers and thanks for coming by!  This week's guest artist is the very beautiful Kylie Minogue, a hot babe from Australia.  (Full disclosure:  Australia is our "favourite" country in the Southern Hemisphere.)  So cutting-edge is Framed that our video, "All The Lovers," won't even be released as a song for another couple of weeks, but we've got the video right now.  Damn, we're good!

Kylie is a star in the United States, but she's huge in the U.K. and other European countries.  She's already had nine Top 10 albums in Great Britain alone.  This week's video was shot in Los Angeles last month, and presents some sort of flash mob/free love party.  Everyone's pretty much in their underwear and it looks like anything goes!  Or, in other words, yee-hah!

We've sub-titled this week's Framed "Democracy & Drillin': A Modern Fable."  You're sure to enjoy the video and our captions, which are, as always, your best source of timely information.  Please post your thanks often and then be back here next week for an even greater installment of Framed!

1 -- British Petroleum also sells coffee!

2 -- And milk!

3 -- And even marshmallows!

4 -- "But when will the leak in the Gulf of Mexico be plugged?"  That's what everyone wanted to know!

5 -- Desperate for answers, the global oil giant tried to plug the leak with golf balls, tires, and even good-looking, near-naked people!  But nothing worked!

6 -- Then, as if out of nowhere, pop singing geologist Kylie Minogue suggested they dig a relief well to alleviate the pressure behind the surging oil!  It was a good idea!

7 -- The people gave Kylie a hand!

8 -- Earth's horse-faced creatures announced that they and their leader, Ann Coulter, were totally behind Kylie's bold plan!  Delirious with joy at this show of mammalian solidarity, people made love in the streets!

9 -- Meanwhile, music video/humor blogs posted pictures they simply liked!  They always do that!

10 -- The humans built a new Tower of Babel to yell at God for making oil in the first place!

11 -- And leading Republicans correctly blamed environmentalists for the mess. Those environmentalists always want to dig dangerous wells miles below sea level!  They must hate us!

12 -- Finally, Jim The Bird decided to spread the good news to other birds in the Gulf, if any were still alive.
