Know Your "Drunk History"

A Letter from the Editor

So it’s been brought to my attention that a big part of blogging is to refer your readers to other people’s sites. This never would have occurred to me since I am naturally extremely self-centered. But I’ll play the game.
Watch “Drunk History” on vbs.tv. It is a high-fucking-larious little series where someone gets completely tanked and then recounts a famous chapter in American history. You’ll see cool actors like Danny McBride, Jack Black and Michael Cera playing characters like Alexander Hamilton and Ben Frankiln by lip-synching along to the shit-faced ramblings of the narrator. Then guess what happens — you laugh.
You may even learn a little something about American history (and you’ll definitely learn something about the effects of alcohol). For instance, we all learned in the first “got milk?” commercial that Alexander Hamilton was shot by Aaron Burr. But did you know that Hamilton didn’t even fire his weapon at Burr because he was morally opposed to dueling? And yet he participated anyway! The Founding Fathers were fucking weird, I’m telling you.
Check it out here: http://www.vbs.tv/video.php?id=1761990748
Yeah, I know you can do links without just copy-pasting the url, but I’m not there yet. I just got into blogging a couple weeks ago for chrissakes.
