YouTube's F-some Foursome: Silverman, Damon, Kimmel, Affleck

No one knows the exact recipe for getting a video to go viral, but here's one that ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" has exploited twice in a row:

Several heavy dollops each of sex, celebrities, and the F-word (bleeped or unbleeped, according to taste).  The more of each, the richer the result. Mix thoroughly! 

Last month we had "I'm [making love with] Matt Damon," in which Sarah Silverman apologizes to boyfriend Kimmel that she's been repeatedly unfaithful to him while on the road. This month, we have Kimmel's spectacular, star-studded revenge -- a tour de force called  "I'm [making love with] Ben Affleck" -- in which Kimmel informs Silverman of his own transgression.

Cue Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Harrison Ford, Macy Gray, Robin Williams, Don Cheadle and about a dozen other boldface names, many of whom appear in a "We are the World"-type shot of a studio recording ensemble. There's nothing like mass self-effacement for a good laugh -- it's sort of like the good-natured big brother of mass abasement, the psychosocial crack-fuel of the gossip world.

The Affleck video has torn a hole in YouTube by racking up nearly 500,000 views in its first half-day. 

Hey, ABC -- you may be onto something here! Fellas oughta take that recipe to the viral bake-off.

I know that these videos are done with tongue firm planted in check but what do Mrs Affleck and Mrs Damon think when they see these videos. Or, should we expect an answer video from the two of them in the near future. Something to the effect if your F@#king our husbands prepare to pay the piper.

I imagine Mrs. Affleck and Mrs. Damon laugh like the rest of us...with those husbands and those bank accounts, they can afford to...And hopefully we'll get more of these videos...in this day and age, we need HUMOR! and people not taking things so seriously...
