I tend to assume everyone has Seen All The Internet Things before me, but just in case: here is a shot for shot remake of the Aaron Burr got milk ad starring Leslie Odom Jr.

Jossverse 1: Emotional Resonance & Rocket Launchers
TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.
I had forgotten that commercial, so now I'm amused like three times over.
I'm not super up on celebrity politics, but I believe I've heard that RDJ is pretty conservative, so props to him for speaking out against the orange buffoon. (The rest of the video was good, too. Poor Ashley Johnson's voice breaking got me a little teary, too.)

I don't think so. His dad's a total counter cultural filmmaker/artist. RDJ grew up in Greenwich Village.
Then again...
[ In a 2008 interview, Downey stated that his time in prison changed his political point of view somewhat, saying, "I have a really interesting political point of view, and it's not always something I say too loud at dinner tables here, but you can't go from a $2,000-a-night suite at La Mirage to a penitentiary and really understand it and come out a liberal. You can't. I wouldn't wish that experience on anyone else, but it was very, very, very educational for me and has informed my proclivities and politics ever since."[129] However, when asked about the quote in a 2015 interview to promote Avengers: Age of Ultron, he denied that his previous statement reflected any longstanding beliefs on his part, and stated, "I wouldn't say that I'm a Republican or a liberal or a Democrat.[130]
Man, with all the backpedaling he does from various statements they should hook him up to a generator and power half of Orange County.
Joss is going to make a Batgirl movie: [link]
I don't feel great about that.
Original BatGirl got into the game because she wanted to emulate BatMan and Robin, she wasn't trying to avenge a tragedy in her life. I want a girl with, as Christopher Fry put it, "An endearing disposition to be a hero," not someone bogged down with pain and suffering. Of course, pain and suffering are endemic to life, but someone who chooses to be a hero rather than forced into it by fate (Buffy, Spider-Man, et al, et al, et al) would be a nice change.
I sense a great disturbance....as if millions of voices suddenly cried out WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIFS in unison and then were suddenly punched in the mouth.
