All Hail Veronica Belmont, Guest Editor

With this week’s Guest Editor, I feel like a dream of mine has been achieved (If life was a Xbox 360 game, I would be expecting a pop-up to show up in HUD with a witty name of the achievement and some gamerpoints). I do have weird dreams though, so take that for what you will. But this week, we have the one, the only, the 60,710 Twitter followed (at time of writing), Veronica Belmont!

Currently the co-host of Tekzilla on Revision3 with Patrick Norton, and Qore on the Playstation Network. And in the past you may remember her as the original host of Mahalo Daily, or hosting Buzz Out Loud, MP3 Insider, Crave, and Prizefight for CNET. This is addition to the slew of guest spots and appearances on an innumerable amount of other places. This leads me to wonder, without Veronica Belmont who would host shows on the internet? Nobody, would be the correct answer.

After getting a song named after her last year by Toronto band The Carps and winning the Vlog Deathmatch Air Guitar challenge, her internet fame was cemented. It was only a matter of time, really. So it is with much pleasure that I present you Veronica Belmont’s official RooftopComedy Guest Editor picks. It’s times like this I wish we had an official scepter to present to Guest Editors. It just feels…fitting.

John Conroy – Online misunderstanding
I’ve had so many of these moments during IM conversations that I’ve lost count.

Eddie Ifft – Google ruined my life
Not only is it making us dumber, but it’s ruining our love lives. ALL POWERFUL!!

John Mulaney – Girlfriend’s email password
Because no matter how much you love someone, never tell them your password.
Ever. Seriously.

Eliot Rahal – Instant message, instant headache
IM has made our lives easier, but also made us way too accessible to people we’d probably rather forget.

Dan Telfer – Guitar Hero
I tend to play more Rock Band these days, but GH2 definitely wins for the most badass metal music of them all! We all want to be rock stars deep inside.

Land of the Free Doritos, Home of the Brave

Congratulations to Tyrone Hawkins, Steve Booth, Dave Hyden, and the Herbert brothers, Joe and Dave for going and Crashing the Super Bowl with their Free Doritos spot! And on top of that, taking top spot in USA Today’s Super Bowl Ad Meter! Which means to the winningest Dorito ad makers ever, one million bucks!

And if you were like me, and meant to watch Godfather 1 and 2 instead of the Super Bowl, but ended up falling asleep for the entire Super Bowl (thereby missing the Crotch Slide Heard ‘Round the World) you can check out the spot right here, right now:

Black History Month

It’s more than a song from the defunct Death From Above 1979!

We’re twelve days into the Obama presidency, and two days into 2009′s Black History Month. I think America is pretty ready for a black president, but staring into the past with this clip, Tracey Ashley muses on the safety of Black History Month, in the wake of a possible Obama victory. If only there was a way to go back in time and tell Tracey that Barack is president, and we’re still Black History Month-ing off. I wouldn’t go back in time and kill Hitler though. There are rules you know.
