After searching out that clip -- I just wanted that clip, not the larger scene of which it is a part -- I thought I'd check Ceiling Fan Man I found this short video, which intersperses clips of a speech by some WEF nudnik with one by the woman who will always be the only Miss South Carolina in our hearts:
These are both clips of people talking without actually expressing any ideas, so I thought it was a bit of a minor sync.
The real sync came today. A couple of days ago I received an email that mentioned the Weezer song "Pork and Beans" (to which I will reply soon, God willing and the crick don't rise), and so today I played the music video for that song, which I had not seen before:
Here's a still from the Weezer music video:
This is a reenactment -- one of the music video's many references to then-recent memes and viral videos. In the original 2007 interview, the man holding the microphone had short hair and was clean-shaven, and the sash just said "South Carolina." That's some incredible casting, though. Here's the real Miss South Carolina as she appears in the Ceiling Fan Man mashup:
In the Weezer video, Miss South Carolina grabs the microphone, which turns into a lightsaber:
Later more lightsabers show up, including a drummer using two lightsabers as drumsticks:
I kept hoping I would see someone with lightsabers coming out of his ears, but no dice.
