Welcome to The BC

Interesting story in the New York Times today: Soap and the Campus: A Web-Site Spoof Succeeds (bugmenot)

Father MacMillan, a Boston College chaplain, plays Father Don on "The BC," a Web-site spoof of the Fox Television hit "The OC" that is written and directed by students at the college, who are joined in the acting by priests and administrators here at the Jesuit institution's main campus.

Episodes are downloadable at the show's website. The show is about as low rent as you'd expect, yet I find it oddly addictive--and I don't even watch The OC. I recommend the video featuring Tim Russert and several Boston College basketball players, which is right there on the homepage (this is not one of the episodes of the show, by the way).
