The Best High School Yearbook Photo Ever
Now that someone has started a blog called Stuff White Trash People Like, may I suggest “Tacky High School Yearbook Photos” as an item for them to cover? Should they need an example, may I suggest the photo below, which says so much in a mere 406 by 604 pixels…
(Yes, it’s quite possible that it’s not a high school yearbook photo, but that was the photo’s title, and gave me a good laugh. It could very well be an engagement photo, from that part of the country where marriage proposals go like this: “You’re what?“)

The Ginger Ninja just sent me a link to this article about Jewno, which parodies Juno by filtering it through a Jewish lens with high-larious results. The video gets bonus points for getting J.K. Simmons, who played Juno’s dad in the real movie, to reprise his role, but this time with a Crown Heights accent. The video also scores bonus points for having an accordion in it:
Keep an ear open for the musical parodies — in the video, they make fun on the Moldy Peaches’ homely alt-folk songs (which were featured in Juno) as well as Mott the Hoople’s All the Young Dudes: “All the young Jews…awkwardly schmooze…”.
The video was written by Daily Show writer Rob Kutner and created for the 92nd Street Y’s upcoming Purim Party.
(What’s Purim, you ask? It’s part Hallowe’en, part Frosh Week and part Asian guy meets cute Jewish girl.)
