Awesome! That was classic! When are y'all gonna jump on the bandwagon and start doing more videos ala The Stanger? I particularly like their "how was it?" video series.

That's the best depiction of a sitting lame duck mayor by a British person in an odd wig I've ever seen. Kudos!

Thanks! Odd though it may be, that is a "late nite" wig—I think it's supposed to look like Jay Leno.
