Let's Save the World!

This is one of those amazing videos that will go viral with those of us that already have a fairly good grasp of the situation but probably wont make rounds among those that need to see it the most.
It's a video (live and animation) called "The Story of Stuff" that precisely and intelligibly describes the ins and outs our consumerist society and it's global effect.
The video is 20 minutes long but don't let that stop you from watching it! If you can't sit still for that long, you can watch it in parts by clicking the 7 chapter buttons at the top of the screen to watch that chapter or get more info on it.

Ever watch german porn? It's twisted.

Their newest contribution to mankind (and maybe some womenkind too) is an erotic fragrance that recreates the smell of a hoo-ha.

Apparently you don't wear it like a cologne, it's more like a drug. You put a drop on your hand and smell it when you want to get off.

Check out the video; it's almost surreal. Apparently when 2 stick-thin girls with gigantic fake boobies pose, um, erotically? in front of you the sleek thing to do is put a dab of "va-gynil" (like vynil) incense on your hand, sniff it like coke then sit back and watch. The website is smellmeand.com - which is pronounced "smell me and cum".

PS - NSFW unless you work in the porn industry.

Thanks Nikole for the heads up on this one!

When most people find crazy, random things they stash or trash them. There's another option! Found Magazine collects and catalogs them. They also post a new something online everyday four our entertainment. I've been checking out their website for a while now, but my favorite is still the note that started it all (see below, and the "About" section on their website for the story). This guy Davy found the note on his windshield.

I Double Dog Dare You!!!

This girl found a set of Weight Watcher's Recipe Cards from 1974 while helping her mom clean out the basement. At first they seemed harmless; upon further investigation a gruesome gastronomical game would unfold.

It would seem that one of Weight Watchers tactics to help the unsuspecting fatty forfeit a few pounds would be to present them with the most vile and unappetizing recipes (accompanied by actual pictures) EVER.

Luckily she had the wherewithal and wit to share them online with delightfully delicious deductions as to what they are and what they must have been thinking.

My considerable consolation is that these offenses to the senses were printed before I was born. It's hard to imagine a world in which both atrocious American cuisine and I could exist.

Why Wasn't I Informed?

It's funny how you can wander the face of the earth for so many years and never ever hear of some particular phenomenon; then one day someone says something like, "You've never heard of YouTube? How could you never have heard of YouTube??" and you have this empty feeling of shame for being left out and a burning curiosity to know all you can about said phenomenon so that you too can one day say, "How could you never have heard of YouTube?" Then you start to see it everywhere, as if only non believers are blind to it and you have now been initiated into the fold.

I had one of those quintessential New York experiences the other day where I came out of one side of the subway whilst my friend Christopher exited the other side and we met up in the middle of the street. We started talking and he mentioned YouTube and how much fun it is and I had no idea what it was all about. I got home, Greg had sent me the Gnarls tune and I started doing reconnaissance and sure enough his videos are posted at YouTube.

Since then I've seen it everywhere. People have sent me e-mail links, I saw the amazing Stephen Colbert roast of the president and press corps and the subsequent news article saying that CSPAN bullied them into taking it down.

Here's a few of my faves to pass the time and lift your spirits on this overcast Friday morning

This was circulating at Christmas time, but somehow GoGo Girl on Block is just as funny now matter how many times I watch her strut her stuff.

This girl I'm sitting next to at Ecko showed me Boy Kicked by Dancer. I think she watched it at least 20 times, laughing her ass off.

Along the same lines, I searched "girl dancing fall" and found these 2 gems:
Cheerleader Faceplanting and one I like to call Chair Dancer.

At this point you're probably wondering if I'm aware I'm going to hell for thinking above videos are funny : Yes, fully aware. But this is my bid to drag you down with me. Enjoy!

Don't blink or you'll miss half the movie

Ever seen a popular movie done in 30 seconds by animated rabbits?

Yeahhhh.... Hmmmm.... OOOKKKK

Not quite sure what to make of this site, BeeDogs.
But all the pics of dogs dressed as bees made me giggle.

Fug You!

Go Fug Yourself is this blog I just found that takes the horrible pictures you might see in  Star magazine where celebrities look like shit and add witty commentary. It's highly amusing and begs for the sarcastic rhetorical question, "Why don't you tell us how you really feel?"

Funny stuff.
