That’s the way to white trash it, baby

The brilliant Jason Toney puts up "officially the whitest thing I’ve ever posted" on his blog, Negro Please, and it is so excellent I’m teary-eyed. Kelly Clarkson clambers on stage with her boyfriend to sing along with hairmetal cover band Metal Skool and it’s boozy and while definitely well shot and edited, feels unscripted. MetaFilter loves it, I love it. How do you do white trash right? Swig from the Chivas bottle and sing "Sweet Child O’ Mine."

In more Friday-is-the-Day-to-Watch-Videos-on-the-Interwebs news, I caught this funny short Everything I Know About Drugs I Learned From Hollywood on LAist — it’s an excellently compiled drugtaking collage from movies and TV. Defamer thinks it’s funny, which is good for the budding LA filmmaking collective pixelpushers in general and director/editor Elina Shatkin in particular (go, Elina!) Frank Sinatra writhing in withdrawl from The Man With The Golden Arm? You know it’s in there. As is Punky Brewster asking the local ponytailed pusher about "Nose candy." Trust me. The first time you watch is free.
