    This may be the best Gawker post EVER. In fact, it has energized me enough to venture outside.

    @Pope John Peeps II:

    1. It has a good song by Leonard Cohen
    2. It has my hero Shaun Tomson in it
    3. It features ground-breaking (?) surfing from the 70's
    4. It's from "Bustin' Down the Door," a film that documents the invasion of the aussies into hawaiian big wave surfing, and thus ties to the global nature of our subject matter.
    5. It's environmentally friendly.
    6. Happy Holidays

    Oh. So it's one of those films of huge cultural importance, that everyone would universally recognize.

    I'm sorry, but this sounds like code for the dirtiest question ever asked a president. Maybe it would have been better directed to the First Lady.

    Hard to believe she threw out such softballs. And I had just started to develop a respect for her interview style after watching "Estefan/Nixon" on Showtime.

    @MyNameIsChris: Classic.

    And really, if you are Gloria Estefan, what are the odds you'd being endlessly mocked for asking anything other than a softball question? I don't think political analysis is her milieu.

    Warning us about the threat of the rhythm getting [us] is more up her alley.
