			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is there anything comic Sarah Silverman will not say?</p>
<p>Apparently not, from this aggressively pro-Sen. Barack Obama video that has become a huge hit on the Web and seen by many millions of viewers.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s called <a href="http://www.thegreatschlep.com/site/index.html">&#8220;The Great Schlep,&#8221;</a> which is also a political advocacy organization she supports. </p>
<p>In it, the viciously funny Silverman plans to blame&#8211;I am not kidding&#8211;old Jewish grandparents if Democratic nominee Obama loses the Presidential election. And she advises a very clever kind of blackmail as a way to prevent it.</p>
<p>You have to experience her logic to understand&#8211;and please be aware that Silverman pulls no punches.</p>
<p>And, if Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin goes on &#8220;Saturday Night Live&#8221;&#8211;as is rumored&#8211;to impersonate Tina Fey, BoomTown will get it right up. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the video (and below it, the other huge hit online spoof video Silverman did about her&#8211;um&#8211;<a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20080227/dueling-online-videos-a-hit-about-well-just-watch-them/">friendly relationship with actor Matt Damon</a>):</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s an interesting online video, in which a passel of celebrities urge young people to vote. </p>
<p>It begins with them urging youth <em>not</em> to vote, in that hipster, sarcastic, of-course-we-really-mean-you-should-vote-you-dope tone.</p>
<p>The nonpartisan PSA&#8211;well, honestly, it does lean decidedly liberal&#8211;has been produced by actor Leonardo DiCaprio&#8217;s Appian Way and includes DiCaprio, Jennifer Aniston, Dustin Hoffman, Eva Longoria, Forest Whitaker, Ellen DeGeneres, among others.</p>
<p>Also, inexplicably, comic Sarah Silverman taking off her bra to prompt young people into civic action.</p>
<p>And if that&#8217;s not reason enough to prompt you to register to vote&#8211;deadlines are looming for the upcoming election&#8211;and get to the voting booths on Nov. 4, BoomTown does not know what is.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the video:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We got such a great reaction from our <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20080226/i-obamapologize/">Obama Girl/Obamapology online videos that we posted</a> yesterday, BoomTown has decided to reinstate our practice of showcasing excellent online videos that we started posting during the writers&#8217; strike.</p>
<p>Our premise has been simple: That online video in both short and long form is the future and its development is important to pay attention to. </p>
<p>So here&#8217;s two slightly vulgar but still compelling examples of comedy&#8211;a particularly promising arena online&#8211;both of which first appeared on ABC&#8217;s late-night talk show &#8220;Jimmy Kimmel Live.&#8221;</p>
<p>The first by comedian Sarah Silverman, which aired on Jan. 31, is a satire about her supposed carnal relations with actor Matt Damon. It has been viewed online over eight million times&#8211;grabbing a much larger audience than it did offline.</p>
<p>The second, a video rejoinder by Kimmel (who is Silverman&#8217;s boyfriend too), is now up to two million views since it was released Sunday night after the Oscars. His love interest? Why, Damon crony Ben Affleck, of course. </p>
<p>Kimmel&#8217;s is the better of the two and jam-packed with celebrities (Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt!). </p>
<p>Both, which are posted below, have quite a bit of profanity with lots of pixelation and bleeping, although that has not stopped ABC, which is owned by Disney (DIS), from putting the video front and center on its home page. </p>
<p>But be forewarned, although these are exactly the kind of videos that go viral online&#8211;funny, quick and hip&#8211;some might find them offensive. </p>
<p><strong>Sarah Silverman/Matt Damon</strong></p>
