Super Size Me (Hilarious Whisky Version)
Trevor Moore of the NYC Comedy Troupe -- their website is aptly titled The Whitest Kids U Know -- has created a hysterical short film skewering the premise and execution of Super Size Me and mocking its creator/star Morgan Spurlock. (Note: Broken link now fixed.)
You will of course recall Spurlock's pervasive, absurdity-striving-for-reality tale of what happens when evil corporations sell food to willing customers. But whereras Spurlock attempts to show that McDonald's food is unhealthy by eating massive quantities of it three times a day for a month, Moore dispenses with food entirely -- he vows to subsist on whisky alone for 30 days in order to explore (as he tells the horrified customer service rep from Jameson's Whisky) "whether or not it's healthy to drink nothing but whisky for 30 days... I'm not going to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner. I'm not going to drink anything else. I'm just going to drink whisky."
