Trivial Shortcomings of the Media

"Dick in a Box" was pretty funny, but this AP article's attempt to explain the sketch without using any naughty words is a piece of comedy gold:

"(Blank) in a Box," last December's fake music video performed by Timberlake and "SNL" cast member Andy Samberg, is about wrapping a part of the male anatomy and presenting it to a loved one as a holiday present.

What can I say? Some people just can't tell a joke.

On a related note, Amanda Marcotte points out that, even if Chris Matthews is just describing the action in a Peanuts comic strip, he still probably has no idea what he's talking about.
