Winners for this year's mashup contest, sponsered by Penn Libraries and the Penn Humanities Forum, among others, were recently announced. We highly recommend that you check out the winning entries, which include a really cool Jay-Z being a G sequence narrated by a W. H. Auden poem, the Muppets taking a different kind of Manhattan, Field of Dreams reinterpreted, and a Penn-style sequel to Slumdog Millionaire, complete with a gratuitous absurd dance finale (see image at right). Each video makes for excellent procrastination fodder, and once you finish watching the winners, you can check out the rest of the entries too, meaning whoops, you'll never get anything done.
