POLITICALLY INCORRECT 

Just over a month ago I blogged about a number of political mashups that focused on Hillary Clinton, and arguably the most ingenious of the bunch was one that cut together Clinton's famous weepy coffee shop speech and Tom Cruise's equally notorious leaked Scientology interview. It turns out that the individual who made that video, Hugh Atkin has been regularly making videos which he posts on ABC's Unleashed website as well as on his own personal blog.

Atkin's latest creation, a reworking of the Sarah Silverman "I'm Fucking Matt Damon" video, is currently doing the rounds of the blogs and is very funny. I'm embedding that video below along with another of Atkin's recent concoctions, a reworking of an interview with Fidel Castro. Castro Unplugged is kind of a slow burner, but utterly inspired and with some genuinely hilarious moments, especially for cinephiles.

Heya, unleashed was a competition. He's not a employee of the ABC. Its a minor thing, just thought id mention.
