I woke up early Saturday morning to get some water and looked out onto my patio and saw this...

Hey Kids,

Thanks to those of you who came out last night for NSFW. Last night was some of the most fun we've had to date doing the show. Tal and I were joined live by Marc Hickox and Tyler Stewart. Jerry O'Connell and Jerry Minor were also on the show and appeared via skype live from Los Angeles.

"The Two Jerries" gave us some behind the scenes insight on their Tom Cruise parody video. We also talked to the Jerries about some new stuff that they are working on including their new web series on 60frames.com, 'Young Hillary Clinton'. I'll be posting some clips from the show sometime next week so check back soon.

Here's the video lineup from last night:

This week I shot a video for Prairie Cat (Myspace w/music here.) There is still a couple of hours of secondary photography to go, but for the most part it's done. It should be online by July/August to coincide with the release of the new P.C. album. Special thanks to Tal Zimerman who came by and showed off his makeup skills. Also special thanks to Dana Snell, Andy Lloyd, Daryn McIntyre and Shaun for...umm...lending a hand..

New Website = New Thoughts

2008-06-21T22:20:00.000-07:00

Do you like the new site? There is the best story behind it. So here goes.

I was sitting at home moderating the official bulletin board of my favourite TV chef, (If you know me at all, you know who the chef that will remain nameless is, BAM!) when out of the blue, my doorbell rang. (I recently got my doorbell replaced with the theme song of a certain TV chef who will remain nameless. Let's just say, I kicked the doorbell up a notch.)

I took my time getting to the door as I hadn't dressed or showered for the day yet. When I answered, much to my surprise was the hit thug rap recording artist Xzibit. After my blood curdling scream died down to just a constant nasal whistle (Xzibit is my favourite Rap Artist/TV car makeover show host) Xzibit explained to me that he was at my house to "Pimp My Website".

"Good day kind friend. I have come to your home to inform you that we are going to assist you in making your website a better user end experience.", explained Xzibit.

I offered Xzibit and his website specialist Leonard some of my world famous tea and scones, and they gladly accepted.

"I often have tea with the Queen of England while I vacation in London.", explained Xzibit. "However the matter, this tea and these scones are the finest this side of the River Thames.", Xzibit added.

After several hours of deep philosophical and existentialist discussion, Xzibit and his friend Leonard began to talk to me about what type of content I wanted for my website. I explained to them that I definitely wanted Tommy Lee Jones to be the face of www.jaredsales.com. I see Tommy Lee Jones as this deep, ironic, and rugged soul, and if jaredsales.com was going to have a face associated with it, to me it was Tommy Lee Jones. Unfortunately, Tommy Lee Jones is already the face of Paulapoundstone.com and LouieAnderson.com. I'm still desperately on the search for a face for this website, if anyone has any ideas at all, please contact me.

In the end we decided that instead of a celebrity, we would add high resolution quicktime videos and a fancy new gui.

"This is incredible. Your website is so awe-inspiring that it feels like someone has left the telephone off the cradle.", said Xzibit.

So there you go...oh shit...I forgot to ask Xzibit if he'd be the face of jaredsales.com . Oh well.

This site is still under construction, but things will happen rather quickly. This space is the "blog space", this is where I will post random one off thoughts that I have from time to time, like today I thought, "hey look, it's raining". Okay, I will try and make my thoughts funnier next time, especially the ones I choose to share with you here. Soon there will be video blogs updated several times a week, new music videos, new comedy shorts, pictures of funny things I see around and much more.

Kiss the ring,

Jared.

Feb. 27, 2008 - NSFW Recap

2008-02-26T22:31:00.000-08:00

Tonight was the Pure Pwnage edition of NSFW. Our panel consisted of Pure Pwnage's Jarrett Cale, Geoff Lapiere, and Norm Sousa (aka XBOX jerk/future shop guitar hero guy...) We showed some pretty funny videos, some highlights included:

Monday Night Football host Chris Berman freaking out about people moving around in the studio and about how he took some codiene laced aspirin he smuggled back from Canada

Something that we almost skipped over after time constraints ended up being well received, a montage of female video game characters punching each other in their, well, see for yourself.

For the first time tonight, we had the audience email us and we'd read out there comments. One of my favorites of the evening was from my friend Viv re: this video

Viv sent this message:

"It would have been awesome if as soon as the super grip lock let his buddy in to show him it. The guy raped an murderd the family!"

If you come out to nsfw, bring your laptops or cell phones and interact with the show as the rivoli is wifi equipped.

We taped the show tonight and I will be posting some highlights in the next day or two. Stay tuned...

Over.
