The National Book Awards nomination debacle — which began when the National Book Foundation mistakenly named Shine by Lauren Myracle as a contender for the young adult category instead of Chime by Franny Billingsley — is so ridiculous that it naturally invites parody. This video, animated in the text-to-voice style of the Xtranormal series of GEICO ads, spoofs the incident pretty much by recounting what actually happened. See the video below!

Is this one of those spoofs that indicate graphic designers have way too much time on their hands? I can’t breath, I’m laughing so loud.
REST DAY?! I didn’t get to finish yesretday’s WOD so I decided that today would be devoted to setting PR’s on 3 BENCHMARK GIRLS: Cindy, Annie, Karen.Cindy 20:00 30 Rounds PR +8 Rounds from 22-REST 10:00Annie 6:15 PR -54 secs-REST 10:00Karen 8:44 PR (1st attempt ever)The programming here is excellente!
The whole situation makes me nauseous. This was pretty funny but the best would have to be Libba Bray’s blog post on live journal about the whole snafu. I hope Shine becomes a best seller after all this – it and its fabulous offer deserve no less.
I love spoof videos, ESPECIALLY this one.
Read SHINE; it’s a really good thought -provoking finish-it-in-one-sitting mystery. (I haven’t read CHIME yet- I’m on hold at the lbrary. Hard to see how it could be more deserving of honors and awards than SHINE, though…)
