The Muppet Matrix.
Microsoft has just opened up its new "YouTube killer" (yeah, right) site, SoapBox. At first glance, it looks like it has a long, long way to go before it could topple YouTube, but it does have some fun stuff on there, including The Muppet Matrix, a spoof trailer rendered with the Muppets instead of Keanu and company. Completely unauthorized by either party, of course, but it's still kind of fun although I would have loved to have heard attempts at the Muppet's voices instead of straight dubs from the film. Imagine Kermit saying "Whoa," or Rizzo saying "Buckle your seat belt, Dorothy..." Room for improvement, but still promising. Kind of like SoapBox, actually.
