Quick Clicks: ‘Auto-Tune’ Weezer, ‘Kids Reenact’, Boxee Box, Ben Heck

Web video news worth clicking today:

Auto-Tune The News dropped Episode 13 (above) today featuring superstar rockers Weezer teaming up for a little political harmony. Guess who takes the cake for this week’s best unintentional auto-tune? Yup, it’s the first win for President Barack Obama. Side note, this video will probably put the Streamy-winning Gregory Brothers over the vaunted 100-million view mark on YouTube. [schmoyoho]

Landline TV and Babelgum have found a hit with their Kids Reenact web series that humorously puts kids in place of top reality shows like The Jersey Shore, TMZ, The Real Housewives of New Jersey and The Hills. Their latest target (above)? Keeping up with the Kardashians. [Babelgum

The Boxee Box is now available for pre-ordering today, after many months of eager waiting from Boxee users. I mean we played with one at CES back in January. Anyway, some hardware changes, as equipment maker D-Link announced that the set top box will be powered by Intel’s CE4100 Atom processor instead of NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 chipset. The Boxee Box starts shipping in early November

Revision3 scooped up tech modder Ben Heck’s new web series, The Ben Heck Show, with sponsor element14 already on board. The new series debuted today on the tech-heavy network as well element14’s modder community site. We heard about this one a little while back and were thinking this felt like a Rev3 show. Our gut was right. [Revision3]

Mind My Brains, Darling! We’ve always had a soft spot for @WorldofHiglet, one of the more austere fans of original web series like The Guild and Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. So it’s only fitting that the UK-native would craft a scripted web series of her own. The rough teaser for the series was posted online over the weekend and today their fundraising drive began in earnest on IndieGogo for the peri-apocalyptic zombie drama. [The Last Geek Bus Home]
