I've spent the last two years with the same nagging question in the back of my head every time I peruse the internet. Is there anything out there that makes less sense than jedichefs.com?
After many exhausting hours of research, I've resigned myself to the fact that, as far as pages written in English (excluding fetish porn), there really isn't.
So, what's their deal?
I honestly have no idea. I've been poking around the website for over an hour, and I'm still not sure. I do, however, know that they raise money for Cancer Research UK, So I suppose that even nonsense has its merits.
I think the part of Jedi Chefs that's most confusing is the Celebrity Jedi Chef page, which is an alphabetized list of image galleries featuring pictures of celebrities, primarily from sci-fi shows, donning the website's signature floppy chef hats and wielding lightsabers. For the most part, the celebs look just as confused as we are, though some of them seem to have excellent sense of humor about the whole ordeal.
Alan Tudyk, for example, is looking a little scared. His former 'Firefly' co-star Sean Maher, however, seems to be taking it in stride.
The number of celebrities they've managed to get to take these ridiculous pictures is staggering. A considerable amount of the casts of Buffy, Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Heroes, Stargate SG-1,various Star Treks, the new and old Star Wars trilogies, and folks from all over Doctor Who fill the list, making me wonder if perhaps the YGW Away Team needs a silly gimmick to get us some celebrity endorsements. I'm pretty sure there isn't anything the guys wouldn't be willing to do if it meant a picture of them with, say for example, Felicia Day.
I don't know what confuses me more: what's going on, or why so many geek celebs are in on it!
