The Swedish Chef Loves The N.R.A.

Sunday, March 04, 2007

I've got some big news to announce but I don't feel like typing it up on such a beautiful Sunday - don't worry, it's good news, I'm just being lazy - so here's a funny video of the Swedish Chef to cheer up your Monday morning instead. The late genius Jim Henson did the voice acting and animated the head, while the equally talented Frank Oz did the hands.

I started looking up Muppet videos today when I saw the news that Disney has created free-roaming audio-animatronic Muppet robots that are capable of seeing and talking to tourists - how rad is that? There's no wires or a visible puppeteer anywhere in sight, just a gaggle of kids crowding around and interacting with two of my favorite characters: Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his freaky speed-addicted little assistant Beaker. See the LA Times article on them for more reading and the Youtube video of them in action, also embedded below:
