This is the first installment of their new project “Solibald TV”, which, as Pete explained it to me, consists of a ”12-minute block of fake channel surfing in which everything is owned/operated by this vague corporation known as Solibald.” Pete and I stayed up counting down the time until...

Thanks to my superb lurking skills, I was able to catch a glimpse of this “study” $mart genius Jesse Novak posted.
