HIDEOUS ALIEN ENDORSES KELLOGG'S RAISIN BRAN

"I'm not pointing any talons here..."

Love this.

WHAT ENGLISH SOUNDS LIKE TO FOREIGNERS

This Italian singer performs a rock tune in gibberish that's imitating English. It's called "Prisencolinensinainciusol" and it was written in 1972. Funny thing is, it sounds like English to me too.

Plus it kinda rocks!

THE PHANTOM MENACE - DECONSTRUCTED

This is a brilliant (and surprisingly informed) critique of everything that's wrong with The Phantom Menace. It's also pretty damn funny. All you haters (like me) will enjoy the hell of of it.






LET'S ENHANCE

This is brilliant.

MORE UKES

So, I took a uke lesson and, man, it was way fun. I only wish my life allowed me to actually practice. Maybe when my kids get a little older.

In the meantime I'll just have to be green with envy watching and listening to others master the uke.

Here are a few targets of my jealousy:






STYX + UKE - IRONY = EARNEST TUNE ABOUT ALIENS

...that's surprisingly palatable.

Or maybe dementia is setting in...



WE GOT THAT B-ROLL

Damn I wish I had thought of this! Freakin' funny.
Love the depressed woman touching the wall.

JUST AMAZING

There's something about stop-action animation that's simultaneously enthralling, compelling and haunting. Unlike computer animation, the weight and density of the objects moving seems 'real'... in a way that messes with your mind.



WANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW AN ATOM WORKS?

These golden retrievers are here to help you...

I WAS CONVINCED THIS WAS A JOKE

...But maybe
it's not. A religious Wii game that uses a crucifix controller and kneeling pad, and you can earn 'grace' points.

Oy!


ANOTHER HOLY SH%T VIDEO MOMENT

Watch this clip where a track inspector almost gets hit by a train. Twice! As the kids text these days... OMG!

STAR TREK... THE MISSING PILOT

Discovered this on Boing Boing. There's an unreleased alternative pilot of Star Trek: The Original Series that some German collector has made available. It's being offered with the complete Third Season DVDs. It was emtitled "Where No One Has Gone Before," and included a different opening monlogue, among other things.

Check out this footage...

H.P. LOVECRAFT FOR THE SPROUT NETWORK


If PBS Kids were truly interested in political and religious balance it'd include Li'l Cthulhu in it's morning line up! The Elder Gods of madness, despair and death have never been so cute!



SEAL TRIES TO TEACH PHOTOGRAPHER HOW TO EAT PENGUIN

...This amazing video shows... well, you read the title, right? What's incredible to me (aside from the photos) is that the seal showed genuine concern for the photographer.
It not only wanted to feed him, it wanted to teach him how to survive on his own.

Give a man a penguin, and he'll eat for a day. But teach a man to hunt penguin...

WTF?!!!!

I sure wish I understood Japanese. Anyone want to translate? It's like Saved By The Bell meets William S Burroughs.




Oh, and there's a trailer...
