WTF, *facepalm* and other appropriate Internet exclamations

My choice of icon isn't really appropriate for what follows, but let's say it's more of a wish than a statement.

Thank you, Jon Stewart, for keeping your head when the rest of the world is going insane.
This comes after one of my cousins who is training to be a pilot told me last night that there are about 10% female pilots in airline companies these days, but when you take the plane, have you ever heard a female voice saying "I'll be your captain today"? That's because if people hear a female voice saying that, they would, apparently, freak out and want to leave the plane. So even if the captain is female, it's the copilot who will make the anouncements on board. If both pilot and copilot are female, well it's one of the stewards who will be in charge of speaking to the travellers, playing the part of the captain.

All of this is quite depressing, so let's have a few minutes of Benedict in powdered wig and silk tights flirting with another man on beautiful music in order to find some solace:

Well, we are two of a kind then. :)
I don't actually watch it every week, but it's a great pleasure to indulge in when I have time. I'm always deeply amused and impressed by how he manages to express the deepest dismay and horrified incredulity by simply staying silent. It gets me every time. ^^

What show is it from ?

The fanvid you mean? It's from a film called Amazing Grace, I think it's about the abolition of slavery -- haven't seen it yet but this fanvid made me want to. ^^
