Cooped Up? Get Uncooped.

I'm not talking about the photo, although I imagine that you'll appreciate that too. I'm talking about a BBC documentary series hosted by the hilariously, endearingly Brit-geeky Louis Theroux. Travel-lit buffs will undoubtedly know of his father, Paul Theroux, author of approximately nine hundred* amazing books.

*By "approximately nine hundred" I mean "five or six that I can think of right off the top of my head, though there are undoubtedly many I have missed"

Anyway, for each episode in this series, Louis immerses himself in a different American fringe subculture. There's one called "Louis and the Nazis," wherein he hangs out with a family of white supremacists, and another in which he auditions to be a male porn star. He's very smart and dry, and plays the straight man to great effect. You can find the show on Google Video- just do a video search for "Louis Theroux". Tip: filter the results to vids over 20 minutes to find full episodes.
