Suicidal Kermit the Frog: The most depressing thing ever?
I love Wes Anderson. I love Elliott Smith. I love Kermit the Frog. And I love YouTube. Put together, though, these four awesome entities make me want to spend a weekend curled up in the bathtub, weeping.
If you've seen The Royal Tenenbaums, you'll recognize the following video as Kermit's recreation of the scene during which (spoiler!) Richie slits his wrists to the Elliott Smith song "Needle in the Hay." Elliott Smith actually did commit suicide (allegedly), and Kermit has always been a little blue green depressed, so the sadness factor is even further compounded:
So sad. And yet, a suicidal Muppet? Still cute as a button!

Jennifer, I am no longer sad. I am scared s**tless.

I love Meet the Feebles. It's crazy that the guy who did that became Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame. He did another flick called Dead Alive. Best use of a lawn mower. Ever.

"I'm simply going to post this picture and then back away slowly and quietly."
Dammit! Why can't I come up with quotes like that! At least I'm better at filming shaky, poorly lit, video posts.
