And so we come to Part IV, the final chapter of our Defamer 2007 Year in Review. May 2008 bring conflict resolution, good health, and love:

Wow—is it July already? Someone turn off this space heater and get us some sangria! It must be time for more Defamer 2007 Year in Review:

Yesterday, Defamer videographer Molly McAleer compiled for us the Top 10 Videos of 2007, a pastiche of sobbing talk show hosts, cold-hearted hunks, sassy Galileo revisionists, and delicious floorburgers. Today, she brings things a little bit closer to home—could we dim the lights please?—lovingly scrapbooking Defamer's Top 10 Man-On-the-Street Videos of 2007.

2007: It was a year that started with a bang—would you classify Tara Reid unsuccessfully attempting to count backwards from 60 any other way?—and ended with one protracted, stalemated whimper, filled with not-so-shocking (and yet totally shocking!) deaths, outrageous pregnancies, and a visit from the transformative robots of our youth.
