In the split-second culture we exist in today, it is extremely difficult to make or create anything with a social relevance that lasts longer than fresh produce. Insert Landline TV, my personal favorite small scale production company that spits out parodies like sunflower seeds. A business who on Facebook lists their Company Overview as "Comically Relevant ... at least for a week or so" has latched onto an idea that illustrates just how short our attention spans have become, even when it comes to comedic culture. Their parodies target televisions shows, their stars, their characters and then some. They range from topics of politics, to sports, to reality television, just about anything culturally relevant. A few film titles being, "Obama's Boo-yah Address," "Lady Gaga's Christmas Album," "The Real Housewives of Lancaster County," and of most resent comedic interest to me was "Little Jersey Shore." Even if these videos are only funny for a few weeks, they create a great two minute time capsule of what was worth making fun of at that exact time.
