2009 GF5 Tournament Round 1: Judd Apatow vs. Buffy the Vampire Slayer

In a battle for the ages, who wins: James “Sawyer” Ford or Donald Fauntleroy Duck? And we know John Locke can take down boar, but what happens if the boar he’s after is accompanied by a meerkat and a surly young lion king? Man, that’s a tough one. I’m glad I don’t have to decide. But you, you do! So, vote now! Who wins: Lost or Disney?

The Parr family or the Petrelli family: who wins in a street fight? Okay, so old Peter, he of the many abilities at once, could probably kick the collective asses of Mr. Incredible and his brood with one arm tied behind his scrawny back. But, what about now, now that Peter can only pilfer one ability at a time? And what happens if Elastigirl phones up Lightning McQueen to run over Petrelli’s skinny, angsty ass and take him out of the game completely? What happens then? And, even if that doesn’t work, you do know that Sully from Monsters, Inc. is pals with Jack-Jack now, don’t you? Sully used to haunt his closet, y’know, before Boo set him straight. So, they’re tight, and, well…
Ahem, anyway… my bias is showing, ain’t it? But it’s up to you, folks! Vote now!

Nation! It’s Stephen Colbert vs. Simon, Paula, and Randy, and you decide the winner! And if those odds don’t seem fair, we’ll throw in Clay Aiken just to even things up. Yes, the Idol team is hopeless outmatched in a bout against a guy who was dubbed worthy to carry the shield of Captain America, but I’m sure they’ll put up a good fight. Vote now!

I’m a big believer in watching every video that Gary Vaynerchuk puts out. And that’s why I think, despite its hour-long running time, this video of Gary speaking at SXSW 2009 is definitely worth your time. As Gary pointed out in his post on this, watch out for the language. But also watch out for ideas that could change your life.
