Something astounding happened today: Jason Alexander appeared in, of all things, a Nickleback video. The post-modern implications of this team-up are manifest—it hardly requires any commentary. And we’ll be sorting out the ramifications of this for years to come. One of the stars of the great ’90s comedy “Seinfeld” joined forces withthe whirling abyss of modern mainstream rock. It could only have been hatched in the deepest circle of hell.

As such, I can only call this happening the “Collaboration of the Year.”

What is it like to drop in on the Nickleback YouTube channel to watch this video? Masochistic in the extreme. See for yourselves. And best turn off the sound once the music kicks in.
