What does it take to figure out America today? Two former corporate types and a Segway, apparently. Steinbeck did it with a truck and a dog, but we're far beyond that level of discourse now, folks. We need advanced robotics to figure out the national zeitgeist.

The premise is pretty simple: two guys, Josh and Hunter, quit their day jobs to make a movie. Josh hopped on a Segway in Seattle and didn't stop until he hit Boston. The ensuing poignant hilarity I'm sure will be on par with the old man and the tractor movie, Straight Story. Plus Josh falls off the Segway in the trailer, which they put up recently, and that looks really funny but I hope he didn't hurt himself. Did you, Josh? [Thanks, Spencer]
