Here are my latest picks of video goodness:

M.I.A.'s 'Paper Planes' makes a kickin' soundtrack to this energy-efficiency video:

As entertaining as Keith Olbermann is, sometimes I feel he's shooting fish in a barrel with his nightly picks for 'World Person in the World.'

Green Porno 2: Isabella Rosselini's second series of short films exploring the sexier side of nature premieres on April 1. Here's the teaser:

Green Porno 1 featured procreation among insects. Season 2 will begin "with 'Why Vagina,' a look at biological realities and bespoke animal genitalia. The following five films describe the procreative techniques of well-known ocean-dwellers: a whale, a limpet, a starfish, a barnacle, an anglerfish. Imagining herself as the particular creature, Isabella then transforms into the male of the species and explains in a simple yet engaging dialogue the actual act of species-specific fornication. The costumes, colorful sets and backdrops, as well as the female creatures (all simple paper cut-outs and sculptures) contribute to the playfulness of the films."
