Pitchfork: Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen Bring Comedy Act ThunderAnt to TV

I wish this sounded funnier:
The IFC website reports that "Portlandia "lovingly skewers illustrates the people and values of Portland, Ore." Characters include "the owners of a feminist book store, a militant bike messenger, an artsy couple who put cut-outs of birds on everything, and a punk rock couple negotiating a 'safe word' to help govern their love life." A few of these folks have appeared in online ThunderAnt sketches, and the feminist book store owners popped up in this St. Vincent video.)
