The police are becoming our enemy, and society is becoming the enemy of the police. – Frank Serpico
We’re not seeing many Christmas links yet, but since today’s second video (provided by Cathryn Berarovitch) is about a toy, I think it qualifies. The first video, from Deep Geek, is a parody of the trailer for Fifty Shades of Gray; I don’t think one has to be a lesbian to appreciate it, but it might help. Everything above the first video is from Radley Balko, and the links between the videos are from Popehat, Jason Kuznicki, Jillian Keenan and Tushy Galore, in that order.
