Thanksgiving PSA

The clever folks at Grantland dig through YouTube for some classic Thanksgiving videos.  My favorite:

Mark Lisanti: Deep-fried turkey is delicious. It is also deadly. This guy doesn't even want you to bother; the fryer is too inherently uncontrollable a device for the process to ever be truly safe. "If we can't talk you out of it, just lock yourself in the garage and light yourself on fire. Save us all the trouble of having to worry about you," he wants to say, but doesn't, because he has a job to do, and that job is destroying your holiday with a caution as savory as a breast full of underseasoned white meat.
But once Mr. Hardhat Q. Killjoy steps aside at the 1:49 mark, welcome to the Additional B-Roll Turkey Conflagration Good Times Jamboree, starring a bunch of dudes in fireman drag stuffing frozen birds into overflowing vats of boiling oil and watching the world burn. Who do you want to party with on Thanksgiving? We thought so. (William Shatner.)
That is awesome.
