A buddy will help you move — a good buddy will help you move a body.

NOT that I’d ask First Direct’s Buddies to do that, but the bank across the pond is there when you need them. For anything. Shelf assembly. Martial arts training. Piggyback rides. NAME IT. Although it’s not real, it’s a spoof app called, well, the... Buddy App. If banks were this helpful, I’d move to London. Still, it’s a pretty extensive production, nicely shot with decent skits that have fun with the idea of a buddy who helps you with anything other than banking. There’s another clip in the series with more interaction between the locals and the Buddies.

Dale Peterson says Christine O’Donnell is not a witch.

Okay, well, he didn’t but he should, because that’s the only thing missing from this gem. Cue somber piano! Is this a Clinton “I didn’t inhale” moment or a Dukakis tank snafu. Could be both because this is is the stuff that makes or breaks campaigns people. IT JUST DOES. Snark™ aside, who on her campaign staff thought they needed to get out in front of this *witch* stuff... DRESSED IN BLACK. The GOP fascination with Palinesque MILF candidate spin-offs is a beautiful thing to witch watch. But don’t take my word for it, YouTube Nation, help a blogga out:

“Ms. O’Donnell, you are not like me. I am a witch, and I am proud of that. I have never hidden my pentacle, and I have been treated as an outsider by people of other faiths. I find this add to be highly offensive to members of my belief. Whoever thought this would bring you into a positive light is sorely mistaken.” – antspooki

“‘I’m not a witch...I'm you.’ This is one of the most bizarre-o political ads I have ever seen. O'Donnell may not be a witch but she certainly is batshit.” – pleasuresyrene
