Thank you Jim DeLong for the polite rant on fair use, parody and online video. You gave me a semi-legitimate reason to post this video of Kermit the Frog covering the epic Nine Inch Nails' track "Hurt." (Not for the squeamish).

Seriously Sean, if you're looking for a way to demonstrate the importance of fair use, a music video showing a childrens icon shooting up, snorting coke, and defiling himself in various other ways...well, I'm not sure that is your best card to play.

No, Mark, but it's a funny card to play. And, I wasn't really being all that serious, but, then again, on closer review, the video does nicely bundle all sorts of interesting contemporary discussions about parody and copyright (among others).
Yay, art.
