from his re-evaluation of his support for obama ("...he’s inexperienced. he has a total inability to understand military matters. he’s acting as if afghanistan is the magic talisman: solve that and you solve terrorism") to the media ("they’re busy preparing us for an iranian war."), republicans ("when you foreigners hear the word ‘conservative’ you think of kindly old men hunting foxes. they’re not, they’re fascists."), gay relationships ("don’t make the error that schoolteacher idiots make by thinking that gay men’s relationships are like heterosexual ones.") and much about his own life, these are some of the boldest and clearest-ringing words i've heard in a while.

starts out as a plug for his new movie (written by the original editor of "the onion"), but evolves into something much bigger. ignore the douche-y interviewer and annoying ad in the beginning.

even if you're not a fan of family guy (which i was at first, then i really wasn't, and now i just enjoy the gags), seth macfarlane is an intelligent and well-spoken man with lots of interesting things to say. here he discusses his interest in animation and the history and development of family guy and american dad with three film students asking some very good questions.

if you haven't seen look around you check it out on youtube, it's a fantastic parody of old educational science shows. while the show is quite old already having begun in 2002, the material still holds since the subject matter itself is nostalgic.

"Game design up to now has been about making rules," he notes. "It was like a card game; there were lots of things that weren't possible and had to be cut. With hi-def, the more real it gets, the less instruction you need to give, so preoccupying yourself with making rules seems silly. Western developers have realized this, but Japanese ones are still preoccupied with making these rules."
