Racebook - brilliant site

John Safran’s Race Relations showed on the ABC last night (you can download the episode here or subscribe to the vodcast here) and it was just as funny as I’d hoped. I’ve loved John Safran since he put a voodoo curse on his ex-girlfriend in Race Around the World, and he’s just gone from strength to strength. As an aside, why isn’t any of that footage on Youtube?

The ABC has also just launched the website to go with the TV show and it’s a brilliant Facebook parody.

Go and check it out - if you’ve seen the first episode of Race Relations, there are some great subtle in-jokes in there. I’m really looking forward to both the show and the web integration, the ABC really seem to “get” the web.

Race Around the World. Why hasn’t *that* show been remade? It produced some of the best quality shorts on TV.

I wish they would! I used to stay home on Monday nights to catch it, it was one of the best shows on TV.

Definitely. It was one of the first reality-style shows, and the only good one as far as I can see.

Racebook is awesome.
