Link: Not-So-Alter Ego of Kenneth the Page, Still Soaking It In
As a star of “30 Rock” (whose new episodes resume on Thursday) [McBrayer] has somewhat brighter career prospects. He recently appeared with the pop singer Mariah Carey in her video for “Touch My Body” playing a nebbishy computer repairman who arrives at Ms. Carey’s mansion. Shot in a single day and directed by the filmmaker Brett Ratner, the video was a surreal experience for Mr. McBrayer.“To hear Brett Ratner say, ‘O.K., now walk more slowly with the unicorn’; ‘O.K., Mariah, spank Jack more,’ ” he said. “What is happening to my life?”
Here’s the video. Once you get past the unlikeliness of Mariah Carey answering the door of her mansion in an unbuttoned shirt, it’s an absolute scream.
Update: I took the video down because Mariah’s record company apparently isn’t into the idea of “sharing”. Too bad!

Fixed, thanks. That will teach me to link to the version of the video posted by the record label; they flipped the stupid “do not embed” flag after I embedded it. Looks like this version is higher res anyway.
The lyrics and video seem to describe the Best Buy incident where a computer repair guy supposedly set up his camera phone to record video in a woman’s bathroom.
I couldn’t watch the whole thing, it was horrible, her voice, the “song”, etc.
Mariah Carey has nothing to say or she wouldn’t glorify random sexual encounters. Does the world need more sluts? Write a song that matters, if you can.
What are you, the Pope?
