Happy Friday, everyone!
Let’s kick the weekend off with some jokety-jokes. Check out this The Office-meets-24 parody video:
Kinda funny? Not funny? Just okay.
I’ve gotta say, I had high hopes for this one. The siliness of The Office mixed with the intensity of 24? Sounds like a winner. REDO!

Who says 24’s got a conservative agenda? I do, I heard someone say it once and pepper it occasionally into conversation to sound smart.
Check this out, though: 24 recently became the first-ever carbon neutral television production! The award-winning show was able to reduce its carbon footprint by 43% in season 7 by making some green behind-the-scenes changes in 2008. These changes included things like switching to compact fluorescent lighting, incorporating fuel-efficient and low-emission hybrid vehicles into the production fleet, etc.
The cool thing is, I doubt any one of you turned to your couchmate during season 7 and said, “Dude, this show sucks now. I think Kief’s been cutting carbon.”
The methodology and results of the initiative are actually quite fascinating, and a case study can be found here, at News Corp’s Global Energy Initiative site.
And here’s a message from our sponsor! Bring it home, Kief:
Good work, 24! Hopefully, other shows will follow suit.
I’m looking at you, Lost. Cut it with that mysterious black fog already. Seriously. Cut it!

Today, a special treat for all you Square Eyes readers: a 24 haiku by Mr. Alphonso Michaels, with visuals by artistic director Amanda Zamir. We’re hoping this’ll become a weekly series.
Renee and Jack win
Sean was Dubaku’s vile spy
Tony shady, why?

While you were all watching 8 hours of Lost last night, I was doing something useful with my time, namely, EDUCATING MYSELF!
Look at what I learned about politics! A Japanese company has created an amazing Barack Obama action figure. WOW! You know how I feel about action figures, people!
Have you ever seen anything better than this?:
Darth Vader, what are YOU doing here?!
You really need to look at each and every posed shot on the site. Por ejemplo, what’s this all about?:
Déjeuner sur le concrete! Snoozin’ on the job already, Barack? Ha ha hee hee ha! Or maybe he’s doing sit-ups, using oranges to weigh his legs down.
Man, all these pics of the Barack Lobster with weaponry make me feel like America’s cool new pres is Jack Bauer from 24, if Jack Bauer weren’t creepy and helluv Republican. Acsh, this doll makes me feel as if 24 married The West Wing and made Barack Obama presidency babies.
I wish that made sense. Thanks to Jenni at BuzzFeed for the tip!

The time has come, 24 fans!
For ‘merican audiences, FOX is airing the much-anticipated 24 movie “Redemption” this Sunday, November 23rd at 8pm. It’s been a long time coming and bridges the Season 6 finale with Season 7’s premiere (beginning January ‘09).
How better to start Thanksgiving week than drool over two jam-packed hours of Jack Bauer saving the world again - high-speed car chases, testosterone-fueled fisticuffs and fiery explosions - it’ll be epic! You need something to be thankful for this year? Be thankful that you can leave all the Jack Bauering to Jack Bauer.
Before watching Redemption to get amped for Season 7 of 24, get pumped for Redemption itself by watching this amazing 24 prequel spoof which dares to asks “what if 24 took place during 1994?”
You’d laugh out loud, that’s what.

Guess what, 24 fans!
24 days until the two-hour season 7 prequel movie, 24: Redemption, airs on FOX.
Yes, 24 DAYS! UNTIL 24! If I had the time and enthusiasm to make a promotional 24-branded, 24-day advent calendar, I would.
Check out the new trailer, released this week:
Looks like more Jack Bauer badassery. I’m not huge on this show, to be honest - it’s too post-9/11 and the ticking clock sound weirds me out - but I agree, Kiefer Sutherland is pretty amazing.
Enjoy, everyone!
