And this week’s Zero Punctuation (you do read Zero Punctuation, don’t you?):

The final throwaway line of what is ostensibly a video game review, describing morbidly obese people as looking like they smuggle tripe for a living (highlight to un-spoiler) explains why, even if you have no interest in video games, you should nonetheless watch Zero Punctuation every Wednesday: like Penny Arcade, it manages to be obsessive and detailed about video games while still remaining inherently funny.
