OK, I'm going to get in trouble for this, but I have an issue with this. Once I'd stopped laughing, and saluting the good Mr Scalzi, I realized there is a problem with his play. Casting. Oh, 99% of the cqst is no problem, but who do you cast as the ..errr... lead who is a) believable, and b) you could get the rest of cast agree to work with?

Sigurdsson Volcanic eruption in Iceland A new selfie of my wife Ásdis and me in front of the glowing lava and reflections from the meltwater from the glacier.  The twilight and night almost alone in front of this phenomena is out of this world.  Surprisingly there is almost no noise from the eruption, some of corse but not as much as I expected. #selfie   #eruptioniceland   #bardarbungavolcano   #holuhraun

This is an ad for a hardware chain in Germany.

This is an ad for a hardware chain in Germany. It is rare to see an ad that not only promote the company/product, but also manages to make a social statement. And do both in 45 seconds. Hat-tip to James Nicoll over on LJ for the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cmg8ghXhAt8&feature=share
