This video came out at the beginning of the summer, and it has pretty much become my reason for rolling out of bed every afternoon. In a world of health care crises, corporate bailouts, the Gosselin divorce, global warming, and American Idol, it is comforting to know that some things are steadfast. Rock solid. Immutable.
The hotness of Zachary Quinto getting doused in milk while pretentious indietronica plays in the background is one of those things.
Tyler Shields, a photographer from Los Angeles, put out this “video portrait” of Mr. Quinto just after Star Trek came out. No one is sure quite what is happening here, or why Mr. Quinto looks so pissed off about it. Presumably, Mr. Shields didn’t just run up to him and start spraying him with milk like some sort of live-action surprise bukakke hentai extravaganza. Yet he seems to be angry.
Just yesterday, Mr. Shields released this video, a follow-up to the previous innuendo-fest:
Again, I’m not sure why he is so mad about it, or why Tyler Shields is sitting on his porch in the middle of the night, eating cereal. All I know is that Mr. Quinto is hot, and that’s good enough for me.
