Definitely not the first SNL actor turned author

The adorable "Marcel the Shell with Shoes On" will be published as a children's book in November.



If you haven't gone children's book shopping lately I highly recommend it -- not just because it seems to be one of the most durable segments of publishing.

Two of my cousins showed this video to me and two of my other cousins because they thought it was HILARIOUS.

We didn't get it.

They also showed us this video, which I did think was funny (does that make me a bad feminist?), but I still think could be vastly improved by shortening it by ~60%.

Yes, it could be shorter and get to the point faster. But it is funny and absurd and I don't think it makes you a bad feminist. (Especially in that my definition of feminism would hopefully not include pointing out people who were doing it wrong.) It'd be funnier if I hadn't had a few of those conversations myself today...
