They Weez Because They're Tired

The L.A. Times has a blog called The Big Picture, and Patrick Goldstein was asking "Could music videos possibly be cool again?".

Cool shot of a hamster with a human face, though, don't you think?

Much better was this video, below, with some old guy actually blending the Weezer CD with a can of pork and beans. It made me laugh, and showed much more inventiveness than Weezer putting all those internet has-beens in theirs, which was the lame-ass hook of the whole production. Check it out:
