Give War A Chance viewership reaches critical mass!

Jeev Jago Studios is humbled to report that its premiere YouTube video has been viewed by a significant portion of the earth's human population (0.000003% or about 200 of 6.5 billion people). What to speak of the inestimable number of cats, dogs, ferrets, iguanas, parakeets, hamsters, cockroaches, termites, etc. that have undoubtedly watched along with their human housemates. With an initial success of such magnitude there is only thing for Tom and Jeeves to do: forge ahead with their next magnum opus, Postmodern Times.

Hasta la vista, Vista

And forge ahead they will despite suffering temporary setbacks, unforeseen obstacles, and technical glitches. Just last week Tom admitted to having an illicit affair with an alluring femme fatale, none other than Madame Vista herself. Needless to say, upgrading to a new Microsoft operating system so soon after its release is a dangerous affair indeed. One sure to cause a myriad of distresses, technical as well as emotional. Without getting into all the gory details of how Tom's sordid software infidelity has affected his family, Jeev Jago Studios sadly reports that the editing of Postmodern Times ground to a halt on Friday. But it will take forces much greater than Bill Gates and his sinister software engineers to stop Tom and Jeeves from completing their cyber-creations of enlightening entertainment. Stay tuned . . .

Give War A Chance

As forewarned, here it is: Jeev Jago Studios' first YouTube release! The first of many, we hope.

Give War A Chance was inspired by the President's State of the Union address and the support his troop-surge strategy received from many of his GOP followers. We figured John Lennon must be turning in his grave over the choice of words used by the Bush administration in asking the American public to give his war plan a chance. Generally, our productions will take a more philosophical bend, but sometimes you just have to let your inspiration take you where it will.

Before we sign off, we should give credit where credit is due (or should we say blame where blame is due?): President Bush was impersonated by former town councilman Captain Kinch and the Give War A Chance refrain was performed by the Blind Uncle Tabernacle Choir. The rest of the blame for this production rests with Jeeves McAtman (AKA Jester Jeeves) and the mysterious Tom Spence.

If instant fame and fortune don't corrupt Tom and Jeeves, they will continue producing (in cooperation with Pop Goes the Gita Productions) their next masterpiece Postmodern Times, now in the beginning stages of editing.

Paraskavedekatriaphobia

Paraskavedekatriaphobia. What is it and is the concern justified? (I'm certainly afraid of even trying to pronounce it out loud.)

Well, according to the supreme authority for the 21st Century, Wikipedia, it is the fear of Friday the 13th. Is it something to worry about? Read on and decide for yourself.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_the_13th

Consider the following nuggets of Wikipedia wisdom:

Novelist Daniel Handler, also known as Lemony Snicket, released the 13th book of the Series of Unfortunate Events on Friday, October 13, 2006 (BTW, January 13, 2006, and October 13, 2006, were not only Fridays, but the digits in the month, day, and year of each date add up to 13. This last occurred on October 13, 1520, and will next occur on May 13, 2011).

Notable births on Friday the 13th:

El presidente de Cuba, Fidel Castro (el 13 agosto de 1926)

Elaine Benes AKA Julia Louis-Dreyfus (January 13, 1961)

and the scariest of all---

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olson (June 13, 1986)

And here's another reason to take Paraskavedekatriaphobia seriously. Friday, April 13, 2007, marked the completion of Jeev Jago Studios' first video "Give War a Chance" (soon to be released on the small screen).
