Daily Screens - The Austin Chronicle

Naked Zellner = Golden Ticket

TV-Related Panels at SXSWi

On Bomb Defusions and Boner Ghosts

Some girls learn about womanhood with the help of health videos. As Kristin Wiig explained during the "How to defuse a bomb and other life lessons from the cast of MacGruber" panel, women who learn from Will Forte get the help of a "courtesy pillow."
