What other movie could have a cast that somehow paired a young Carla Gugino, Kellie Martin, Tori Spelling, and (whuh?!) rocker Jenny Lewis.

Having never done a late night talk show before, I was pretty damn psyched. It's somewhat rare for late night TV talk shows to interview non-political authors, let alone people who curate anthologies (or whatever the hell it is that I do). I give Last Call credit for being one of the few TV shows that consistently lays out the welcome mat to emerging artists and oddball media, especially considering that they could just as easily book some daytime soap actor instead. <br /><br />Luckily, the interview went smooth, Carson was super effusive, and best of all, I was able to give on-air love to people who are such a huge part of our collective project-- <a href="http://getmortified.com/book2"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mortified: Love Is a Battlefield</span></a> cover girl Kim Lombardini, LA contributor <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzZQP2pxdbI">Leonard Hyman</a>, and San Fran contributor <a href="http://www.myspace.com/liveevilrock">Laurent Martini</a> (AKA: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/liveevilrock">Live Evil</a>).<br /><br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widgets.nbc.com/o/4727a250e66f9723/48dd5b3a0614175f/4741e3c5156499a7/4c502ab1/logoLink/http%3a%2f%2fwww.nbc.com%3fvty+%3d+fromWidget_Video/clipID/699863/siteDomain/nbc/graboffUrl/http%3a%2f%2fvideo.nbcuni.com%2fwidgetxml%2fsingleClip1%2fnbcshare.png/siteShow/nbc.com/moreLikeLink/http%3a%2f%2fwww.nbc.com%2fLast_Call_with_Carson_Daly%2fvideo%2f%23mea%3d699863/textFieldColor/FFFFFF/videoPlayerSkin/http%3a%2f%2fvideo.nbcuni.com%2fwidgetxml%2fsingleClip1%2fskin14.swf/showID/36/bgndUrl/http%3a%2f%2fvideo.nbcuni.com%2fwidgetxml%2fsingleClip1%2fbg.swf/configID/1105/configxmlPath/http%3a%2f%2fvideo.nbcuni.com%2fwidgetxml%2fsingleClip1%2fsingleclip_omniConfig.xml/wName/NBC+Video/video_title/NBC+Video?storeInPid=true" id="W4727a250e66f972348dd5b3a0614175f" width="384" height="283"><param value="http://widgets.nbc.com/o/4727a250e66f9723/48dd5b3a0614175f/4741e3c5156499a7/4c502ab1/logoLink/http%3a%2f%2fwww.nbc.com%3fvty+%3d+fromWidget_Video/clipID/699863/siteDomain/nbc/graboffUrl/http%3a%2f%2fvideo.nbcuni.com%2fwidgetxml%2fsingleClip1%2fnbcshare.png/siteShow/nbc.com/moreLikeLink/http%3a%2f%2fwww.nbc.com%2fLast_Call_with_Carson_Daly%2fvideo%2f%23mea%3d699863/textFieldColor/FFFFFF/videoPlayerSkin/http%3a%2f%2fvideo.nbcuni.com%2fwidgetxml%2fsingleClip1%2fskin14.swf/showID/36/bgndUrl/http%3a%2f%2fvideo.nbcuni.com%2fwidgetxml%2fsingleClip1%2fbg.swf/configID/1105/configxmlPath/http%3a%2f%2fvideo.nbcuni.com%2fwidgetxml%2fsingleClip1%2fsingleclip_omniConfig.xml/wName/NBC+Video/video_title/NBC+Video?storeInPid=true" name="movie"><param value="transparent" name="wmode"><param value="all" name="allowNetworking"><param value="always" name="allowScriptAccess"></object><br /><br />For a peek at Mortified's late night fun, we hope you will <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.nbc.com/Last_Call_with_Carson_Daly/video/#mea=699863">watch the video</a>. <br /><br />And if you missed the full episode, be sure to check out the other guest, <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://boburnham.com/videos.php">Bo Burnham</a>.

In Maurissa's entry, "Dissed," she shared a diary that revealed her ill-conceived attempt to go from studious Asian girl to sassy, hip hop homegirl.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.drhorrible.com"><img src="http://www.drhorrible.com/images/banners/banner2.gif" border="0" width="400"></a><br /><br />Dr. Horrible has a pretty great pedigree-- Joss Whedon, Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion, Felicia Day (who writes a fun <a href="http://watchtheguild.com/">series of her own</a>). But the show's secret ingredient is actually its score by Jed Whedon.<br /><br />Anyway, we think you'll get a huge kick out of the show. Hopefully, if its a hit, it will help to bring more attention to world of online series (like <a href="http://getmortified.com/videos">ours</a>, for instance).<div class="blogger-post-footer">// GetMortified.com //</div>mortifiedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06441432575714710598noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244444911745190126.post-41344657994835572342008-06-30T17:56:00.000-07:002008-06-30T18:38:49.759-07:00Help Save the 1-800-SUICIDE Hotline<a href="http://getmortified.com"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mortified</span></a> deals with a wide range of issues that teenagers face everyday. From the cute stuff (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LdoB9qivMc&feature=related">songs</a>, exams, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zRAJhuMzhU">crushes</a>, bad hair).

Even though our project is rooted in comedy, we love to use Mortified to explore the full spectrum of what kids go through. The good and the bad. <br /><br />Not surprisingly, one topic that we hear a lot of kids write about is suicide. And today, there is a suicide attempt every 42 seconds. Luckily, there's a great nonprofit devoted to helping people of all ages get the privacy and care they need. But as this organization is no longer government funded, they need <span style="font-style: italic;">your</span> help to continue.

And whether it's a dream or nightmare is up to you.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.getmortified.com/blog/uploaded_images/CO-Mortified-711519.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 397px; height: 297px;" src="http://www.getmortified.com/blog/uploaded_images/CO-Mortified-711509.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a>Recently, we held a secret <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mortified</span> show in NYC. It was a private event held in the upstairs room of a respected restaurant. And it had one twist. Everyone in the audience was going to be eating, drinking, laughing... and <a href="http://www.getmortified.com/blog/uploaded_images/CO-Mortified-711509.JPG"><span style="font-weight: bold;">buck naked</span></a>.<br /><br />The event was hosted by <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4799232"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Clothing Optional Dinner</span></a>, a humble nudist society that hosts social gatherings at bars, cafes and clubs around Manhattan. We were both surprised and flattered to be invited to participate.<br /><br />Given that Mortified explores the notion of exposing oneself, we naturally found the premise of doing an event before an unclothed audience to be a fascinating psychological experiment. We'd be emotionally naked on stage... while our audience would be physically naked at tables. Turns out, the show was a big hit with both performers (Law Tarello, Brandy Barber, Giulia Rozzi, and Anne Altman) and audience members alike.<br /><br />For those who're curious, when we asked <span style="font-weight: bold;">Clothing Optional Dinner</span> if we needed to strip to our skivvies in order to perform, too, they said we had to be either <span style="font-style: italic;">fully dressed</span> or <span style="font-style: italic;">fully nude</span>. No wishy-washy people in bras or boxer shorts. Needless to say, we not only wore clothes, we got all dolled up for the occasion. A truly strange and wonderful night.<br /><br />Was there a scientific result? Yes. Whether you're male or female, dressed or undressed, being naked in public shows the world you've got balls.<br /><br />On a strangely related-but-not-related note, <span style="font-weight: bold;">NewTeeVee </span><a href="http://newteevee.com/2008/04/16/live-nude-vloggers/">covered</a> the recent outbreak of naked vloggers spreading (pun?) across YouTube.<br /><br />Which re-ignites a question that Mortified is frequently asked. In <a href="http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1569514,00.html">an era</a> of populist media, <span style="font-style: italic;">where is the line between positive self-expression vs. icky exhibitionism</span>?

Mostly because it's just kinda weird that a fat, balding, vaguely gay, mustache-ioed, middle-aged man would emerge as a childhood icon. <br /><br /><object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VKKMB9vRkIg&hl=en"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VKKMB9vRkIg&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br />Fonzie, we get. Mr. T, we totally get. Belv, well, that's just kinda creepy. And yet, the fact remains-- <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKKMB9vRkIg&feature=related">kids truly loved him</a>.

Did you know that you are? No? Well, you are, whether you like it or not. Congratulations, sexy.<br /><br />This week, however, we at <a href="http://getmortified.com/">Mortified</a> are reeling from the annual holiday hangover. And we'd like to help you regain your emotional sobriety without too much pain.<br /><br />Here's a teaser of our new romantically-challenged book, <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://getmortified.com/book2" target="_blank">MORTIFIED: Love Is a Battlefield</a>-- a compilation of people's actual childhood writings (letters, lyrics, journals, poetry, art). All themed to romance.<br /><br />The following entry was written in 1989 by <a href="http://cokanesbloggery.blogspot.com/">Colleen Kane</a>, who as a teenager never met a headbanger she didn't like. In this <span style="font-weight: bold;">excerpt</span> from her journal, Colleen describes attending the hotbed of teen lust that is... a theme park.<br /><br />Clearly, those who think Paris is the city of romance have never seen the <a href="http://getmortified.com/woe/viewdetail.php?contents_id=162&type=pics">majestic glow of a mullet</a> on a rollercoaster.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><a href="http://getmortified.com/book2"><img style="width: 341px; height: 84px;" src="http://a578.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/95/l_042ece11e04d17f11aa1145f8513fb39.jpg" /></a><br /><br />* * * *</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;font-size:85%;" ></span><blockquote><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;font-size:85%;" >September 4, 1989</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">Oh my gosh! So much has happened since I got a perm! Thursday, I got my perm and was really scared, but it came out looking really nice and I look older now. Friday, I'd been at Denise A's overnight and that day we went to Great Adventure.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">Two guys tried to pick us up—real geekaroos. Well one was OK. But the scuzz, Carl, was a showoff, and he tried to start a conversation with us by commenting on my Bon Jovi shirt. He said "Bon Jovi stinks." (LIES!) I turned around and glared at him. His cousin, as I learned he was later, was apologetic. He's like, "I like <a href="http://blogs.scripps.com/abil/insider/bon%20jovi.jpg">Bon Jovi</a>." I turned back around. Carl, (no, I bet it's spelled the annoying way, with a K) Karl continued. "No, they really do."</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">I turned, glanced at his Ozzy Ozbourne t-shirt, and said, "Ozzy sucks." His cousin, Mike, said, I agree, "Ozzy does suck, and Bon Jovi's cool."</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">I thanked him, and Denise & I went on the Ferris wheel. Then after the ride the guys hooked up with us and came along to the Scream Machine. Embarrassing. What could we say? Go away?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">That night we went to the boardwalk. We saw these guys a few times as we walked up and down and one with long brown hair was pretty cute. They said hello once as we passed. Then when waiting for our pictures to come out of the booth, one of the guys that had said hello asked me if I'd like to meet that guy over there and asked my name.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">He went over to the long-haired (!) guy and told him, came back and told me his name was Mike, went back, and brought Mike and his friends and we, Denise, Mike & I walked off. We talked basically about music and Bon Jovi. He's really nice and really sweet and cute. Not hot, but cute. So after about an hour, his friends told him they had to go home.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">So he had to go, but he asked for my ! He had me write it on the back of a picture he'd won of a naked woman with strategically placed limbs and beer bottle. Classy.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">After that, Denise and I freaked! She was so psyched for me! Then we walked to a private part at the boardwalk and she told me about this guy who'd been calling her for awhile and I touched the sand because I hadn't touched it all summer. It was so soft. It was a starless night, as Mike had pointed out. Then we went home.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">We've talked on the phone 4x, a record for me. He really likes talking to me. It's a toll call. He wants to spend all his money on calling me! He wants to ride his bike to my house! (He lives 1/2 an hour from Point Pleasant) And-- he told me I'm pretty!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! This is the first time a boy ever has!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">...</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">Well, as you can imagine, my confidence is really boosted-- one reason that I'm sorta looking forward to school. I think the guys'll notice me this year, if Friday was any indication. Well, I'm gonna go brood over some cookies and milk. Bye.</span><br /></span></blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer">// GetMortified.com //</div>mortifiedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06441432575714710598noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244444911745190126.post-25682485273905091182008-02-14T12:25:00.000-08:002008-02-14T12:32:53.762-08:00Mortified's 5-Step "Valentine Survival Guide"<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.getmortified.com/image/dryhump_step02_mort.gif"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px;" src="http://www.getmortified.com/image/dryhump_step02_mort.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Ok.
