Seriously. It is.
I know, it’s claymation.
I’m not kidding around about this! It’s really, really violent! Plus it rips off the plot to Night of the Living Dead. Well, except the father doesn’t turn into a zombie at the end, or get shot by the cops who think he’s a zombie, like I had assumed he would.
Still. It amuses me.
I’m sorry, mother.
…it’s a catchy tune.
has virtually every viral-video celebrity in it.
Even Charlie the Unicorn.
Even Miss North Carolina. (who is awesome for doing this, btw.)
Yes, Numa Numa too.
{} Do you remember that show Alf?
@ Of course. Hairy fella, ate cats, drove the father crazy. I had a dog named Alf when I was a kid.
{} He was an alien that liked to eat cats. I can’t believe that was on TV.
@ That was the 80’s.
{} So?
@ Do you remember Van Halen’s “Pretty Woman” video? Also 80’s.
{} Good point. Alf was so much normaler.
DUDE. It’s the voice of that short guy in the Last Unicorn! (did I give too much away about my childhood? I think I just gave too much away.)
You’ve probably seen work from the artist from the blog pixeloo online. His latest creation is an “untooned” Jessica Rabbit. (What Jess would look like if she had human skin, hair and bazooms.) Pixeloo has also done Homer Simpson and Super Mario. Even cooler, here’s a movie he created while making Jessica. SO. AWESOME.
You know, whenever I see a photo of McCain, I get the urge to squeeze his cheeks and squeal “who’s a Maverick? WHO!”
Puter: NewsFire has crashed!
Me: I see that.
Puter: would you like to tattle?
Me: Sure.
Puter: Ok, please describe what you were doing when NewsFire crashed.
Me: My raft seems to have a hole in it, which I have been unable to locate. So every fifteen minutes or so I have blow air into the valve, just to stay afloat. And that’s what I was doing when NewsFire crashed.
And here!
Someone needs to give John Kanzius a medal. And a house. And maybe a “never has to pay taxes again” card.
Ok, I’ve not been into blogging so much lately. But in just the past 24 hours, I’ve come across so much craziness online, I really have to share. Hold on people who are still reading this goofiness, because it’s a lot. I’ll try to keep it brief.
Ok, first off, an article addressing advertisers. Make Note: Men are not idiots. Seriously, I hate this new kind of sexism where all men are fat, ugly doofuses and women are gorgeous know-it-alls.
Second on the list: think Wikipedia is completely balanced and accurate? Think again.
I undid Tabletop’s undoing of my edits, thinking I had an unassailable response: “Tabletop’s changes claim to represent Peiser’s views. I have checked with Peiser and he disputes Tabletop’s version.”
Tabletop undid my undid, claiming I could not speak for Peiser.
Why can Tabletop speak for Peiser but not I, who have his permission? I thought. I redid Tabletop’s undid and protested: “Tabletop is distorting Peiser. She does not speak for him. Peiser has approved my description of events concerning him.”
Tabletop parried: “We have a reliable source to this. What Peiser has said to *you* is irrelevant.”
Confession: I actually scoffed at a friend of mine who told me she wouldn’t let her kids use wikipedia for their research papers because there was no way to tell for sure if the information was completely accurate. Sorry Brenda! Smack me on the head for being a ninny.
Ok, thirdly, WHAT IS THIS??
Someone out there is clearly a wee bit paranoid about strangers looking at their screens.

Then #4: a video which I will not embed, but will link to, in case this is something you have to see to believe. Here’s the sum-up: Have a girlfriend who’s pregnant and happy to be? Can’t stand kids? Have no fear, Abortion Man is here. He’ll kick and punch your girlfriend in the stomach until the baby pops out.
Cue television appearances and “it was just a joke!” complaints in 3…2…1…
#5- I think this one is more disturbing than the last, if you can believe it. Aliza Shvarts, a Yale student (there’s some money well spent) has created an “art” project, where she claimed to have impregnated herself and then induced abortions as often as possible within a 9 month period. She claimed to have video taped herself expelling the fetuses in her bathtub. Her project was to project the videos on to large sheets of clear plastic containing the blood and fetuses from her pregnancies. This, all according to the student newspaper.
Yesterday, Yale released this statement:
New Haven, Conn. — April 17, 2008
Ms. Shvarts is engaged in performance art. Her art project includes visual representations, a press release and other narrative materials. She stated to three senior Yale University officials today, including two deans, that she did not impregnate herself and that she did not induce any miscarriages. The entire project is an art piece, a creative fiction designed to draw attention to the ambiguity surrounding form and function of a woman’s body.
She is an artist and has the right to express herself through performance art.
Had these acts been real, they would have violated basic ethical standards and raised serious mental and physical health concerns.
What I find most ironic about this is that last sentence. Let’s see, IF Shvarts had actually impregnated herself and then induced abortions for the sake of “art”, then it would have been a violation of ethical standards, not to mention they would have been concerned about her mental health.
BUT! Since it was all a lie, well then there’s no reason to worry about her mental health OR any ethical standards. Because, clearly, she’s totally sane. And righteous. Dude. Someone give that chick an A!
Ok, I have one more, but it’s so awesome, I’m going to give it it’s own post. You’ll have to wait.
I’ve been told that in Japan, perverts on trains are a problem, so they post these signs. Now, here in the states, you can buy a tee shirt with the same warning.
And this is why I am not surprised that there are perverts on trains in Japan.
But sometimes in Japan, on their trains, you can also find some Gullholmen AND some Massum Flikem. (more photos here.)
