Send Baby Jonah to the Super Bowl

Andrew Klavan — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 14:57:17 +0000

Those of you who study post office wanted posters may have cause to remember Justin Folk, but he was also the award-winning and smugly brilliant visuals guy on PJMedia’s Klavan on the Culture videos and is currently the animator of my new Manhattan Institute Presents videos. And as if that work weren’t enough to establish his conservative credentials, he has now also cruelly forced his own baby son Jonah to go to work and support his family by acting in a Doritos commercial. Isn’t that what conservatives do?

This hilarious commercial, on which Justin also did some SFX work (aside from fathering Jonah), has been selected out of over 6,000 entries as one of five finalists in a contest. The winning commercial will air on the Super Bowl.

You have a vote—in fact, like a Chicago Democrat, you can vote repeatedly! And while some of you may have been thinking of throwing your vote away on, I don’t know, some Republican candidate or something, you can put it to much better use here by voting to send Baby Jonah to the Super Bowl.

The name of the commercial is “Sling Baby.” Once more, here’s the voting place.

Come on, people, let’s do this thing.

Really enjoyed this interview with the charming and intelligent Jennifer Wishon of Christian Broadcasting Network, concerning The Final Hour and other matters.

There’s a lot more of me on the CBN website.

KOC: The One State Solution

Andrew Klavan — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 14:00:08 +0000

Just to show that PJTV’s Klavan on the Culture isn’t all frolicsome hijinks and mirthful merriment, in this edition we take time out to solve the problems of the Middle East. Completely. Once and for all. In under four minutes. And in a way that will leave you wondering: Why didn’t anyone ever think of that before?

Explosive visuals by Justin ben Folk.

Well, This Looks Promising

Andrew Klavan — Wed, 25 May 2011 14:00:39 +0000

J.J. Abrams has a new television series coming out on CBS called “Person of Interest,” about a washed-up CIA agent who becomes a sort of high-tech vigilante. The star is Jim Caviezel who, of course, played Jesus in The Passion of The Christ. Caviezel’s an intense guy – I once joked that Mel Gibson must’ve directed him by saying, “Just be yourself, Jim, but dial it back a little,” – who seems to pick his parts with rock solid integrity in keeping with his rock solid beliefs. Add to this the fact that the show is written by Jonathan Nolan, who wrote “The Dark Knight,” and it begins to seem there might be something worth watching on network TV other than “Blue Bloods.”

Here’s a promo:

Network says this has tested better with focus groups than any new drama in fifteen years.

KOC: Ding Dong bin Laden’s Dead

Andrew Klavan — Thu, 19 May 2011 14:00:06 +0000

After Seal Team Six burst into Osama bin Laden’s Pakistani compound and put a couple of rounds in the terrorist’s eye – blowing his brains out the back of his head prior to feeding his body to the fish – many of you may have felt it was cruel or untoward to celebrate the violent death of a fellow human being. Just kidding. You bring the tequila, PJTV’s Klavan on the Culture is bringing the chips and salsa and we are so partying down in this week’s fun-filled episode!

Bin Laden’s hand-picked successor, Justin Folk, was glad to supply the visuals.

KOC: The Hilarious World of Abortion

Andrew Klavan — Thu, 05 May 2011 14:00:04 +0000

When I think comedy, I think: abortion! So this week, in an effort to bring us all together with a subject everyone can agree on, PJTV’s Klavan on the Culture turns his hilarity hounds loose on the knee-slapping subject of terminated pregnancies.

For anyone who is offended, please blame Justin Folk, who did the backgrounds.

KOC: How To Behave During an Islamic Massacre

Andrew Klavan — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 14:00:10 +0000

Does our service to the public never end? Absolutely not. That’s why PJTV’s Klavan on the Culture is here again with some sensitivity training, absolutely free. When pastor-slash-attention-seeking-kook Terry Jones committed the crude and nasty act of burning the Koran, Muslims in Afghanistan responded with thoughtful discussions and debates about the unpleasant edges of free expression… Whoops, just kidding! In fact, they cut people’s heads off! Sort of a different culture, huh. And you know what that means. Right! We have to learn how to treat blood-crazed Islamic madmen with respect and tolerance. So here are some tips…

Backgrounds by the scimitar-wielding Justin al Folk.

Note: Although I’m usually careful to refer to violent Muslims as Islamists or jihadists or Islamo-fascists, all the evidence I can gather about the Afghan slaughter suggests that the perpetrators were not, in fact, religiously extreme.
