No Sense, No Sensibility (a Silly Historical Video of the Jane Austen Variety)


Yesterday Loretta wrote about the wonderful new annotated edition of Pride and Prejudice. Today we go from the sublime to the...well, not sublime, but funny. Jane Austen and her characters have survived vampire-and-zombie-ization as well as countless spin-offs, both good and atrocious, but we never thought we'd see them in a mash-up with a trailer of the upcoming movie Burlesque. Here we have the voices of Cher, Christina Aguilera, and Stanley Tucci giving a new twist to the classic 1995 Sense and Sensibility.

This clip comes by way of one of our favorite Austen-bloggers, Vic Sanborn at Jane Austen's WorldMany thanks to Vic and the mysteriously named Sopmylo of YouTube for bringing this to our guffawing attention.
