This video was our Holy Grail of Offensiveness. Borne out of a hatred for the never ending John Mellancamp Chevy campaign playing on endless loops during the World Series, we decided to present our own portrayal of Chevy Patriotism. And our version happened to include things like American genocide, racism, torture, and suppression of truth.
So, ready a nearby eye gouging implement, and enjoy!
The premise for this is that the viewer is watching deleted scenes from the best-selling self-help DVD, The Secret. Yes, that is me in my underwear playing Gollum. Fun. Co-created with Payam Karamooz.
One of the most potentially offensive things I’ve ever created. Also a very hard hitting critique of the award winning and mind-numbingly stupid self help series. The other actor in the piece is one of my closest friends, comedian Payam Karamooz.

To date, the most successful Mep promotional YouTube video. Spawned out of an irresistible desire to pay tribute to this man in a way that the national media never would. Storey put his heart and soul into this video, I added some video clips for effect. This video was completed between 2:00 -9:00 AM, the morning after Vonnegut passed. Possibly the best thing we’ll ever do.
A few months later, we received a very nice letter from Lily Vonnegut (Kurt’s daughter) saying that she and the family really enjoyed and appreciated the piece. That pretty much validated my entire existence, right there.
