They're Made Out Of Meat

I love YouTube. It's a classic pre-dotcom-bust company. They set up these big servers to host and stream video, give away the service for free, spend tons of money... and figure that they'll come up with a way to make money on it later. Let's hope they do because while they are bleeding money out of their eyes we get some great content.

According to BoingBoing this is a short-film adaptation of science fiction author Terry Bisson's short story "They're Made Out of Meat." Directed by Stepehn O'Reagan, and starring Tom Noonan (The X-Files, Robocop 2) and New York standup Ben Bailey, it won grand prize at the Science Fiction Museum's First Annual Short Film Festival.Oh, and one of the background characters uses a bit of colorful language (very briefly) so just don't turn it up really loud if there's somebody around who might be offended. Otherwise it's shot (about 7 minutes) and safe for work.
